Amazing Jakes - June 19, 2008

By Pam Jorgensen -
We love Scott working for Intel, Corp for many reasons. First of all, it's nice to be employed and Scott's been with them for 15 years! Another reason is they throw great parties! I posted about the one at the park...that was fun! Then there's the kind like this at Amazing Jakes! The whole place was reserved for Intel employees and their families all night. Everything was free except the games that gave out tickets. We stayed away from those and played and ate till we dropped! Since it was free we let the kids bring friends. Chase, of course, couldn't pick just one so he got to bring two, Cooper Small and Nevan Kobialka. Rylee brought Maysie Kobialka.

Carson did NOT want to go on the carousel...I don't know why. He ended up having fun going in circles that made me lightheaded

Maysie and Rylee loved the Frog Hopper
I thought it would scare Carson...he didn't want to go on the carousel. He LOVED the bouncing up and down
This train was cute but sssslllloooowwww. This is what Carson wanted to do all night...until I made him go on the carousel.
Rylee and Maysie made the teacups spin so fast I almost lost my lunch watching them
Mimi-golf was fun especially since we didn't keep score! Rylee, Scott and I all got holes-in-one
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the rock climb...what else is there to do for 3 10 year old boys but to beat each other up!
Cooper and Chase give the wall a try...it was pretty tough
Nevan lasted the longest
Maysie did well
Rylee and Cooper trying.

A Game of Memory

STOP "JUST LOOKING" AND PLAY, DAB-NABBIT!! Okay, I am stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it will be fun. Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one or more memories that you and I had together, or just some memory of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments or send you an email. (You know, you non-bloggers can still post comments. Just click "comments" below this post...) It's that simple! I hope everyone will play!

A Huge Sigh of Relief!

After 16 years working for Intel Corporation without fear, Scott was finally a wee bit worried when the latest round of lay-offs was announced. Sometimes they eliminate the ones who've been there longer. Sometimes they get rid of the new guys. Here in Arizona - Scott was both. He's been with Intel for 16 years but was one of the newbies at this site. This was the first time we felt nervous. Intel announced they would be eliminating about 10% from each of their sites world-wide. That meant 300-400 jobs lost here in AZ. They announced this MONTHS ago. They kept putting off the final date to let us know if we had a job or not. They kept us hanging, hoping, wishing, PRAYING, wondering... Until tonight - Scott's job is SAFE. He will keep his job. HALLELUJAH!! In an effort to avoid being jobless, homeless and faithless, Scott decided to contact his former boss (the good one, Larry) to see if there were any options back in Albuquerque, NM (or Rio Rancho which is where...

15 Years - that's right...you heard me!

2 dozen roses and a Sonic drink! What more could this girl ask for? How 'bout this? A new wedding band! (Scott wants it to be called an Anniversary band) I've always loved my original ring. Scott picked it out himself with only one suggestion from me...I like baguettes. He did a great job. As I have gotten older though, I have had a new desire. A ring that will not cause bodily injury. I can't tell you how many times I have innocently swiped my hand and a poor, unsuspecting soul (usually one of my kids) gets a scratch right up their face! Carson won't give me a fist bump because he's scared of the ring. And I only had to hint to Scott ONE time and it was quite a while ago!! I'm a simple gal. I don't wear jewelry often. It took me YEARS to get use to my wedding ring and finally not take it off every night. This new band is PERFECT! Simple yet so pretty. Thank you my dear, dear Scotty. This 15 years has been so fun! Let's do it again! Aw...what the heck!...
