We had no idea what was going on, or why he acted like he was so scared to do it. With that dive he went from around 7th place to 15th. When they took a break we found out that his coach put the dive on his list because he wanted him to do the dive. Not only had he never competed it, he'd never even done it before. To say I was upset is an understatement.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Kyle recovered (which is super hard to do) and climbed all the way back to finish in 10th.

But after checking the weather, we were worried it was going to rain on Saturday. I checked on the umbrella parade that I knew was scheduled for Friday night, and it still had room for entries. So I quick signed us up, and headed out to Walmart to buy umbrellas and supplies. I started around 12:30 decorating umbrellas and got them done in just enough time to get dressed and head out.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The craft and party sections at Walmart were pretty lacking, but here are the umbrellas I was able to come up with. I used plastic tablecloths, balloons, and fake flowers. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8QZzadJWxlYilfgyIACOgudEVW8XtPUt41Q47awWLN-yyAIWpxhMldKV1UsKHoZwco38-alRjtzp1KWRBwzaMGLevb4QIdY4Z_IzJ6pemkYSM54OmKGUUEuyE2fuaheWkhLHmXKr1yAuMK3gaJltkVqtLfXUhG-Kbjqc5E3Jszg1Qn2tFQRARz5RXP08/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_3102.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8QZzadJWxlYilfgyIACOgudEVW8XtPUt41Q47awWLN-yyAIWpxhMldKV1UsKHoZwco38-alRjtzp1KWRBwzaMGLevb4QIdY4Z_IzJ6pemkYSM54OmKGUUEuyE2fuaheWkhLHmXKr1yAuMK3gaJltkVqtLfXUhG-Kbjqc5E3Jszg1Qn2tFQRARz5RXP08/w640-h640/thumbnail_IMG_3102.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I definitely beat Jason in the dress up portion of the night.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtIC1EE4WCICUvm1DnACDRWfzEvqQ29ebCOwoGa9DgpqBzGsKJUAeIJWdcxazsD47YpeRE_6pX-prn6DBrhNQhebUnLb1-wIzr5JlBM0dEqaqlBV5voeRtMFwmoh4dZYyHJe7PI2vtL98JOixCLrzGfZDYx92-LRikJgDr8Cqh3GEBIt9pL1t2d6pmQ0/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_3063.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtIC1EE4WCICUvm1DnACDRWfzEvqQ29ebCOwoGa9DgpqBzGsKJUAeIJWdcxazsD47YpeRE_6pX-prn6DBrhNQhebUnLb1-wIzr5JlBM0dEqaqlBV5voeRtMFwmoh4dZYyHJe7PI2vtL98JOixCLrzGfZDYx92-LRikJgDr8Cqh3GEBIt9pL1t2d6pmQ0/w480-h640/thumbnail_IMG_3063.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div><p style="text-align: center;">We made it to Mardi Gras</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDZbFxkcOREU2rn1h1EQS7BBZ8f0Inf2xrXi2GDeWNZ_w0nhSpdJp4-Bok8usc0Ceu_IU52wKR4mi6t6CJitg3su2H_skJzdlF-i2J4Pv0zbjZMHYvr-4ji1uZpgEtIfBz4HNvvTy4nAsOcekr8nFJxV5t-E3LDtMMNvNYNxo5_f3a8e5XThM46yEQYwM/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_3067.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDZbFxkcOREU2rn1h1EQS7BBZ8f0Inf2xrXi2GDeWNZ_w0nhSpdJp4-Bok8usc0Ceu_IU52wKR4mi6t6CJitg3su2H_skJzdlF-i2J4Pv0zbjZMHYvr-4ji1uZpgEtIfBz4HNvvTy4nAsOcekr8nFJxV5t-E3LDtMMNvNYNxo5_f3a8e5XThM46yEQYwM/w480-h640/thumbnail_IMG_3067.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNo6bs6k8Cad42JlfWEdOBsJbsLYWjUCE4iDtumcm3BzPV4qvTqSsspqmz3MgMfGa5JitBk10rCPFwTl2g39T0NF9T1RKb0WBrYRAiB22s8udpqEJmSkjAOqqtaWFLPfdLvEdJwYG0T_jnF7wEtc83MNnratqzgxN1YFW8vWLvnpkt1Rn5iLLDTJrd8tg/s1544/thumbnail_IMG_2778.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1544" data-original-width="1158" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNo6bs6k8Cad42JlfWEdOBsJbsLYWjUCE4iDtumcm3BzPV4qvTqSsspqmz3MgMfGa5JitBk10rCPFwTl2g39T0NF9T1RKb0WBrYRAiB22s8udpqEJmSkjAOqqtaWFLPfdLvEdJwYG0T_jnF7wEtc83MNnratqzgxN1YFW8vWLvnpkt1Rn5iLLDTJrd8tg/w480-h640/thumbnail_IMG_2778.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I took my mask off before we left, and then forgot it at home.

On Monday when I took Reed they took the paperwork that the driving center gave us, and asked for his permit. So if I had I taken this exact same paperwork that Reed needed, we would have left without a license. But since I know the DPS hates me, I had every piece of paperwork that they could think up to ask for.</p><p style="text-align: center;">They never once asked for Reed's birth certificate. I had to present Kyle's birth certificate 3 separate times. They also made Kyle pass an eye test (Kyle and Reed both wear contacts). And those of you that know how blind Kyle is know I was holding my breath during that!</p><p style="text-align: center;"> The one thing they never asked for either of them was their proof they are enrolled in school (and this is supposedly a requirement).</p><p style="text-align: center;">Anway, everyone in this house now has a driver's license...except Chloe. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxCj80Zea_M7cQjRFG4gM1PvkFqCMzHIt6eO_WSp3o4GBFidzFmRgVyyvkvFEQ_dwEVQTdraCDI4TcMCeYyKFg4vfffH9E_pohHc-wP2GmDymv4i8zmpz_VHIWniE-ogSImZ8z6XpAN7lhA6LUnJB5UuzmUxzHiDQveAIBi5kdTrIwIx6oa9hLwrdN7Y/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_2730%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRxCj80Zea_M7cQjRFG4gM1PvkFqCMzHIt6eO_WSp3o4GBFidzFmRgVyyvkvFEQ_dwEVQTdraCDI4TcMCeYyKFg4vfffH9E_pohHc-wP2GmDymv4i8zmpz_VHIWniE-ogSImZ8z6XpAN7lhA6LUnJB5UuzmUxzHiDQveAIBi5kdTrIwIx6oa9hLwrdN7Y/w480-h640/thumbnail_IMG_2730%20(1).jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174272263011931030.post-53462883465103803952024-01-09T16:23:00.002-07:002024-01-09T16:23:31.637-07:00The DPS Hates Me<p style="text-align: center;"> I dreamed all Sunday night that I wouldn't be able to get Kyle's driver's license, and guess what, I was right.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We got there and all checked in, and then they called over everybody that was there for a driving test. She informed us that an 18-wheeler had hit the top of the carport where they do part of the test and so it would be unsafe to administer the test. She offered to reschedule our test, but didn't know how long it would take to fix it, so she didn't know when they could actually reschedule the test for.</p><p style="text-align: center;">So needless to say, Kyle didn't get his driver's license yesterday.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I had Reed scheduled at a different place in the afternoon, so he was able to get his. But JR was in such a hurry for them to leave (they went to the National Championship last night) and it also looked like a tornado was about to touch down, that I didn't even get a good picture.</p><p style="text-align: center;">But here he is with his truck, which he drove to school today (well, sort of, we are renting one of his friend's driveways near the school since they can't park at school as sophomores.)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAOrkFxEzwU7c0f33eruL5P6By6CS3PLktzhLH8kYbrT8ChVyli2VWnz47FU46rP40xVex6FHzIa_Mj0YnLLcITHgSBdm9rDUZupfepHTS6JknrHYLt4irncWbO7FJfQSjdu6hGME8ydi3GDdyJETAGWmy1JSTKlqUKkmAokWwJX2jhZjO5p-BdhBZbA/s1170/thumbnail_IMG_2693.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="860" data-original-width="1170" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMAOrkFxEzwU7c0f33eruL5P6By6CS3PLktzhLH8kYbrT8ChVyli2VWnz47FU46rP40xVex6FHzIa_Mj0YnLLcITHgSBdm9rDUZupfepHTS6JknrHYLt4irncWbO7FJfQSjdu6hGME8ydi3GDdyJETAGWmy1JSTKlqUKkmAokWwJX2jhZjO5p-BdhBZbA/w640-h470/thumbnail_IMG_2693.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I was able to get Kyle in this morning to take his test at a 3rd party site, but I wasn't able to get him back in to the DPS for them to give him his license until Friday.
