Shelby's first love is HORSES. She owns two of her own horses, Spot & Lady. We are lucky enough to be able to let her live her dream of showing horses. She has been showing since the tender age of 5. We have some great friends who help us make that dream a reality. She has two families that allow her to show their horses. Shelby loves their horses and is so happy to have a chance to show them. We are looking forward to many more shows :)lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-70774927914721718932011-05-02T17:41:00.000-07:002011-05-02T18:15:24.492-07:00Spring Fever!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOJCznGw6EgBFyS7jylthAZGTFaX_CVdE-Z7VWpTNPD_PzOwRXlffCtiq9yx3s3T5txTOIzXACbgw9gkeXe2MKCYUV18pExR7RdrZhDaY3Q-E59KIHZ7yQzgxnIQAKUfm7DPGH0Fw5LCg/s1600/092.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOJCznGw6EgBFyS7jylthAZGTFaX_CVdE-Z7VWpTNPD_PzOwRXlffCtiq9yx3s3T5txTOIzXACbgw9gkeXe2MKCYUV18pExR7RdrZhDaY3Q-E59KIHZ7yQzgxnIQAKUfm7DPGH0Fw5LCg/s320/092.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602292145764440994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1juv4kxHCN7XAhtAILtqURMbfUEhDVwKw-OEovFLcOYDAxvlhI-aQ74Lo4g1UjM0mBoVQZptH4f_0tCMXLxtxl4o6ycujtBXOZaYKFaDCmdBNvLzWZT0L8H89FA-7k5DKePnSaWanQhk/s1600/175.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1juv4kxHCN7XAhtAILtqURMbfUEhDVwKw-OEovFLcOYDAxvlhI-aQ74Lo4g1UjM0mBoVQZptH4f_0tCMXLxtxl4o6ycujtBXOZaYKFaDCmdBNvLzWZT0L8H89FA-7k5DKePnSaWanQhk/s320/175.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602292140171317842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHNwUXZaOyqJz3pOgezjzFr9Aq9gGPYjcnAWjHeX9Ab3qIMs8WU6dl7OStEoD03i1YBRVVNv1_Hbctn2HKjX2plq3r6tfc4rq2ncIlMZTMbgQee3PhQUSbFdVaUeRpIfqQwEmibbMm4I/s1600/018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHNwUXZaOyqJz3pOgezjzFr9Aq9gGPYjcnAWjHeX9Ab3qIMs8WU6dl7OStEoD03i1YBRVVNv1_Hbctn2HKjX2plq3r6tfc4rq2ncIlMZTMbgQee3PhQUSbFdVaUeRpIfqQwEmibbMm4I/s320/018.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602292156431395362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHuLIilZULquUTJ3PsD_rvO-_idMhiwyAzBSCLpHIpVReA2euFDheq5gIRoQ7nQ17oTyE3DV0pxiWayDrkOBs-SG0m0aBBcTPQfUNhKmOWegC1zITywgZ7mWGli4z9mHtTHd1rly7NM5g/s1600/Spring+11+100.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 278px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHuLIilZULquUTJ3PsD_rvO-_idMhiwyAzBSCLpHIpVReA2euFDheq5gIRoQ7nQ17oTyE3DV0pxiWayDrkOBs-SG0m0aBBcTPQfUNhKmOWegC1zITywgZ7mWGli4z9mHtTHd1rly7NM5g/s320/Spring+11+100.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602289513497718978" border="0" /></a><br />Spring is my favorite season of the year.

Both of my children excel in a sport that they love. Isaac has a football obsession and Shelby has a horse obsession. Paul & I have never had to push either of them to participate in the things they love. It makes my heart proud that their efforts don't go unnoticed. Isaac received several awards at his football banquet a few months ago. Now it is Shelby's turn :) She has been invited to 3 different award banquets. She went to the first of the 3 Saturday night. She received 4 high point awards (Equitation Pleasure TWH 17 & under, Youth Showmanship, TWH Pleasure 11 & under, & TWH Pleasure 17 & Under) as well as one reserve award (water glass.) She will be going to 2 more banquets in February. I am so proud of her!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-31962026381042003372010-01-12T04:13:00.000-08:002010-01-12T19:54:52.614-08:00Halloween,Thanksgiving, Christmas, Jack Daniels, oh my!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxCCGsS4ZS9YexnKXCuWiBlBbOMql6GMEez_gGm7jduM8rn1r-pUWIo8GJmAk6ac69_3aBn_Sqe6eUgUjLHDYRO_H9onPn0CgUHqYQqlEv58U9NKYIIUyeOYsDKW8kLSsv62iIZLrgC08/s1600-h/284.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxCCGsS4ZS9YexnKXCuWiBlBbOMql6GMEez_gGm7jduM8rn1r-pUWIo8GJmAk6ac69_3aBn_Sqe6eUgUjLHDYRO_H9onPn0CgUHqYQqlEv58U9NKYIIUyeOYsDKW8kLSsv62iIZLrgC08/s320/284.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425827523829947362" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsyfO0DFyCqz6Z5odWhYpV_hEjYtoWtyzGrk8mp74FlNXEEcjH0TEA08h2vynXT8UAaqtN0Zktm7AKNX__iteen0QbZ0TvVRHsHpADJyg5Qdu-23mRhIPmQ5SOu2ypCR8ZJZuDGqJvBjs/s1600-h/015.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsyfO0DFyCqz6Z5odWhYpV_hEjYtoWtyzGrk8mp74FlNXEEcjH0TEA08h2vynXT8UAaqtN0Zktm7AKNX__iteen0QbZ0TvVRHsHpADJyg5Qdu-23mRhIPmQ5SOu2ypCR8ZJZuDGqJvBjs/s320/015.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426059597424161010" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ORwM3OV0IIJN65BPTtd0icMyac0SGU2KTS4U3r3zbaQAWoNsfXRwUh5VPTwGdgfZl3U4u6NVgbwJHmqZ75VqyVKJZPUs4bBlipRjTsOhFBEhG6MztFlI7goG_2yvNbKoTdm4yvZ3ZDg/s1600-h/289.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 328px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ORwM3OV0IIJN65BPTtd0icMyac0SGU2KTS4U3r3zbaQAWoNsfXRwUh5VPTwGdgfZl3U4u6NVgbwJHmqZ75VqyVKJZPUs4bBlipRjTsOhFBEhG6MztFlI7goG_2yvNbKoTdm4yvZ3ZDg/s320/289.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426058995642808354" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuVcFVcR8WHQsKdgPY7b4ZntPWAUJk909PdqD2hgbU4t89yNwHwj3tMSjHVTYi-ukZOFDPJuTuhwjcFoxSIkC2tRYOK-DuEsvjjVvF3z3zLhG2dmoI1cBrb9YvBSJeM_4JioPyTSLr5GU/s1600-h/050.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 324px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuVcFVcR8WHQsKdgPY7b4ZntPWAUJk909PdqD2hgbU4t89yNwHwj3tMSjHVTYi-ukZOFDPJuTuhwjcFoxSIkC2tRYOK-DuEsvjjVvF3z3zLhG2dmoI1cBrb9YvBSJeM_4JioPyTSLr5GU/s320/050.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426061692094749106" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-n5IzFrHu04oQRXCrWFf-DKQxJCKG8ZhZ1s-w1eTdcxUp-Sb26d3VJkEJuGnLhZwjdI9jJhU6606HHapIZewNi7U7A57KYkf6O3tsk2PW6bbcCFQdMLlPXhbU66kR69Hh0_0Cz9oU62A/s1600-h/045.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-n5IzFrHu04oQRXCrWFf-DKQxJCKG8ZhZ1s-w1eTdcxUp-Sb26d3VJkEJuGnLhZwjdI9jJhU6606HHapIZewNi7U7A57KYkf6O3tsk2PW6bbcCFQdMLlPXhbU66kR69Hh0_0Cz9oU62A/s320/045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426061403522782834" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_XIhSEKikcHlK2RD5IimlqK5Va57olL-dX93DHHBKHVONwalvkH8uxS683UGbyR5zIUW22uL9CUAbjrtjexEb7GkQJ7xKX79KDOTadPXf_DEJlsifYVIkq_fKuTOVxBMG960zPolDQg/s1600-h/023.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_XIhSEKikcHlK2RD5IimlqK5Va57olL-dX93DHHBKHVONwalvkH8uxS683UGbyR5zIUW22uL9CUAbjrtjexEb7GkQJ7xKX79KDOTadPXf_DEJlsifYVIkq_fKuTOVxBMG960zPolDQg/s320/023.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426062502920969570" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I'm back! Showing my lazy non-blogging self :( Well, our family has been really busy since my last entry! Isaac finished his football season. They made it to the first round of the playoffs. We are so proud of him! His whole heart was in the game. Some of these professional football players could learn a lot from his attitude :) He received the Bulldog award at his end of the year banquet. I'm not a proud Mommy or anything.<br />Shelby also finished her horse shows for the season. We are so excited that she is rated within the top 10 in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">nation</span> in a couple of different categories!!! It is a surprise...she will find out later this month at the banquet. I can't wait to see her little face when they call her name! We are so proud of her!<br />Halloween this year seemed to come so fast! We took the kids to trunk or treat at their school the night before Halloween. They made a huge candy haul! On Halloween night, we took them to the grandparents house to trick or treat in their neighborhood.<br />Thanksgiving was at our house this year with Paul's family. We all got to sit together in the dining room. All 19 of us. It was really fun!<br />Christmas rolled around before we knew it! It is my favorite holiday! We spent Christmas Eve at Paul's sister's with his family and Christmas day with my family. Santa Claus was generous as usual this year.<br />A few days after Christmas, we went with my sister & niece & our friends, the Navarro family, to Jack Daniels Distillery. It was such a fun day! I would love to try to visit more local places of interest this year. That actually is one of goals for the year :) Well, I'll update again soon!

My fall favorites: changing leaves, pumpkins, mum, cool crisp mornings and nights, halloween, Thanksgiving, fresh apples, fall scented candles, soup, chili, hay rides, bonfires...I could go on and on. Have a happy fall y'all! Couldn't make a post without posting pictures. This is my sweet niece Tori with each of the kids.

A lot has happened since my last posting.<br /><br />In March, my kitchen was flooded by a hole in the ice maker water line. We were without a kitchen for over 2 mths. We now have a brand new kitchen!<br /><br />In April, Shelby turned 10! She is growing up too fast! I am so proud of her!<br /><br />In May, I turned 39! I'm growing old too fast!<br /><br />In June, Shelby went to horse camp in Fl. We went to Disney World & St. Augustine Beach.<br />Shelby has been having horse shows all summer! The last time we checked, she was 5th in the nation on equitation!!! We have not seen her ranking since the Celebration (she doesn't show in that so she may have been bumped.)<br /><br />In July, the International WH show, more horse shows! Cook-outs & pool parties at our house!<br /><br />In August, my baby boy turned 6! He started football & is Quarterback for his team! He is a really good player. Paul & I celebrated our 17th anniversary. He surprised me with a diamond wrap for my wedding band and I surprised him with 17 beers! Almost even! ha-ha. Paul celebrated his 42nd birthday. More horse shows, football games, practice! School started back, the kids love their teachers.<br /><br />So far, September has been great! Enjoyed spending labor day with Paul & the kids & friends.<br />I'll try to keep my blog more updated.lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-18881634039516125212009-02-16T14:53:00.000-08:002009-02-16T15:13:06.369-08:00Valentine's weekend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqJaewC5p9wX66KYoHKr-cKUqcKXXuBfJoRsqdhmtNmcO2UBlymX3YVE4GWD_stl1is6E66ZAgAyF5It8GvlhAvPa35cw5dxM9u7qmRQhqrM8RGMsxjVsORe9bY2tBGwKRHN8tmR23Vlw/s1600-h/whoa+banquet+09+011.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqJaewC5p9wX66KYoHKr-cKUqcKXXuBfJoRsqdhmtNmcO2UBlymX3YVE4GWD_stl1is6E66ZAgAyF5It8GvlhAvPa35cw5dxM9u7qmRQhqrM8RGMsxjVsORe9bY2tBGwKRHN8tmR23Vlw/s320/whoa+banquet+09+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303536989138204978" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAzN7dfZs3lUVQuVYApbEGkuxGJpwtoPNIEBwjxRuDqe7plsRGWzdThNjWaZgBPg0NjdfZCD4Got2KKcKWKuyrow22PbmECj2zWMvK-nPB1l6szg16_WxIxapdsS8RQhDWsbbaMMTyIGE/s1600-h/whoa+banquet+09+030.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAzN7dfZs3lUVQuVYApbEGkuxGJpwtoPNIEBwjxRuDqe7plsRGWzdThNjWaZgBPg0NjdfZCD4Got2KKcKWKuyrow22PbmECj2zWMvK-nPB1l6szg16_WxIxapdsS8RQhDWsbbaMMTyIGE/s320/whoa+banquet+09+030.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303535857505375682" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7GYI8ChPJ75VFFeCJxhFZxYBJ3p5tHE5xKiZuh7gSIuyI16icnXaxyOoAVTYh-RQjfrI5IQw0R2JyZ8przHuYl7qxclEF6RIpQi_2VaKTjn02t9jzj28uYXp568QQG-BdA95pS6I4z6M/s1600-h/whoa+banquet+09+032.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7GYI8ChPJ75VFFeCJxhFZxYBJ3p5tHE5xKiZuh7gSIuyI16icnXaxyOoAVTYh-RQjfrI5IQw0R2JyZ8przHuYl7qxclEF6RIpQi_2VaKTjn02t9jzj28uYXp568QQG-BdA95pS6I4z6M/s320/whoa+banquet+09+032.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303535513317165906" border="0" /></a><br />We had a wonderful weekend! Valentine's Day is one of my favorite days. I love helping the kids with their cards & treats for school. Our valentine's day was perfect! We spent it together Sat. night at home. Shelby had spent the night with the girls from the stable on Friday night. Paul worked until 4pm on Saturday. He took Isaac to work with him. I spent the day cleaning the house and watching TV. So relaxing! Shelby got home about 2:30 so she helped get ready for the evening. We made baked potatoes, salad, french bread & an apple cobbler. When Paul got home, he grilled steaks. We set the table with our china & crystal and a lace table cloth. We even had sparkling white grape juice. After enjoying the candlelight dinner, we watched Madagascar 2. Our idea of a romantic evening has definitely changed since having kids. (ha-ha)!<br />Friday night was the WHOA banquet! Paul took Shelby. Our friends Jeanie, Sara & Alicia came by & picked them up. Shelby was so excited to be with her "barn girls" again! She was tickled to receive 2 awards. While they were gone, Isaac & I snuggled on the couch & watched TOY STORY. I love that movie.<br />Well, I guess I better go make dinner! Good night!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-73172570425870623812009-02-04T16:36:00.000-08:002009-02-04T17:24:05.234-08:00Super Sunday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8N54iBrr1Qg-S2Vp-4UDahpxDLJnHcFnzghtUtA6drQsCNtgT6-fTiJtgjvwSRqdQ8XSc9g_ZZtHcIdQmQN3JRNspA0t2O1k-Tr1kUn1pESO_hQb4XkLdLkB-HaK5NjluK4nV0BE71Og/s1600-h/feb1+09+098.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8N54iBrr1Qg-S2Vp-4UDahpxDLJnHcFnzghtUtA6drQsCNtgT6-fTiJtgjvwSRqdQ8XSc9g_ZZtHcIdQmQN3JRNspA0t2O1k-Tr1kUn1pESO_hQb4XkLdLkB-HaK5NjluK4nV0BE71Og/s320/feb1+09+098.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299115517965946946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2mTz-DAhcg1RCoG9J53nOVUgVTIpLRXJwHRcd-G27nDHpCca-EXfuqSAL-cpj-r-8ErNIedQnYLmNqd4K8mTEypkK9kNAposxL7LFH8GtOq9C0nyDfJX799YAwBM9DSsJkF9TqqCPpGk/s1600-h/feb1+09+028.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2mTz-DAhcg1RCoG9J53nOVUgVTIpLRXJwHRcd-G27nDHpCca-EXfuqSAL-cpj-r-8ErNIedQnYLmNqd4K8mTEypkK9kNAposxL7LFH8GtOq9C0nyDfJX799YAwBM9DSsJkF9TqqCPpGk/s320/feb1+09+028.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299115510100450210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha7n0FQ9QSsZB2ZDhEHW7hmPgFUpy0Ry1Ve8sDVWggTmiK868ZvxyDNwjhc5xVXK1BiUQd2y70gYL7V7mHD-m-hfSYkRIRXLFcm47wvRp3L7-sSQpwFP3pTJDPhqh4UFhVoJxz4rIbs3Y/s1600-h/feb1+09+035.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha7n0FQ9QSsZB2ZDhEHW7hmPgFUpy0Ry1Ve8sDVWggTmiK868ZvxyDNwjhc5xVXK1BiUQd2y70gYL7V7mHD-m-hfSYkRIRXLFcm47wvRp3L7-sSQpwFP3pTJDPhqh4UFhVoJxz4rIbs3Y/s320/feb1+09+035.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299115509914869362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQd9eTEGA_cUDyrBuK9_9u9rymnG8NPNkTDpvHcwfULG52eRliUu8R2lgM-73fPFR7XJZ3o1qGOspXgnQ7nU8FjjPHnwTBWTkN9LYRmj1FVKAY7VbGpFunbwt337WIH3FrDNiixchH2Jk/s1600-h/feb1+09+044.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQd9eTEGA_cUDyrBuK9_9u9rymnG8NPNkTDpvHcwfULG52eRliUu8R2lgM-73fPFR7XJZ3o1qGOspXgnQ7nU8FjjPHnwTBWTkN9LYRmj1FVKAY7VbGpFunbwt337WIH3FrDNiixchH2Jk/s320/feb1+09+044.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299115507907457874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidGMA8WvAqT8EweQ82_bccb_bv8TobxxJnLADpFJNxM9ftc7aJsYmX54xQEWY1-xb2XvXZNc2_w-Ec0kvwRPi9tLk8vcIezL4VbLDz-YZ3SVyv0B5e-B6-VZcRzntUrcbYVF07Gy2K9og/s1600-h/feb1+09+049.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidGMA8WvAqT8EweQ82_bccb_bv8TobxxJnLADpFJNxM9ftc7aJsYmX54xQEWY1-xb2XvXZNc2_w-Ec0kvwRPi9tLk8vcIezL4VbLDz-YZ3SVyv0B5e-B6-VZcRzntUrcbYVF07Gy2K9og/s320/feb1+09+049.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299115503692482242" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">Super bowl</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Sunday</span> was a fun day in our house. While I am not a football fan, I do love to entertain. We planned a little get-together with the in-laws and my sister-in-law and her family. My sister-in-law's daughter got sick so they weren't able to come but my in-laws came. Paul & I made homemade <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">pico de galo</span> (I don't think I spelled it right), rotel cheese dip, and corn chips. Paul's mom made <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">homemade spaghetti & meatballs</span>. I also made a <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">chocolate cake</span>. It was a nice evening. Paul & his parents liked <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Arizona</span> and the kids & I liked <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">Pittsburgh</span> (only because Isaac has a Steelers football shirt). I went to bed before the game ended because I didn't feel good. I didn't even hear the cheers from the other room.<br />Earlier in the day after church, I took advantage of the<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> pretty day </span>to take some pictures of the kids. I was pleased with how they turned out. I wish I had photoshop to touch up my pictures. Maybe one day... Anyway, I took the pictures out by our barn. I love outdoor pictures. It was so funny the goats kept coming up to me to see what I was doing. They even made it into some of the pictures.<br />You will have to excuse the sporadic color changes in the text--I was just having fun!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-2558233494370740622009-01-28T18:47:00.000-08:002009-01-28T19:07:51.112-08:00Blessed!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhza57cQvs-ZqDX2EEnYABan6cPx3I3r-Bw7b2JFOQTB_raTEMmFxkuYB17TjiyA1QopbTAzL6cq-aFhfs7CqDh1N3y3yXXwLBasBW1oHem0agOG2amYbIjYq6ZgTsf_vr4wBgPa3bnIQ/s1600-h/isaac+%26+pwhat+banquet+020.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhza57cQvs-ZqDX2EEnYABan6cPx3I3r-Bw7b2JFOQTB_raTEMmFxkuYB17TjiyA1QopbTAzL6cq-aFhfs7CqDh1N3y3yXXwLBasBW1oHem0agOG2amYbIjYq6ZgTsf_vr4wBgPa3bnIQ/s320/isaac+%26+pwhat+banquet+020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296542908839914258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigv-oPoE2LtadodEe8GKvFe659bgidoIdasdKG-KVqu7aNMwMeYXa73tj7Wziw_0xu3Zf80eOKR8xv1Saq3qa-8bZsBA3xe45s92zbjzKx2cJTkqH3K0JevIir6siMl5hk9A120z03yTM/s1600-h/isaac+%26+pwhat+banquet+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigv-oPoE2LtadodEe8GKvFe659bgidoIdasdKG-KVqu7aNMwMeYXa73tj7Wziw_0xu3Zf80eOKR8xv1Saq3qa-8bZsBA3xe45s92zbjzKx2cJTkqH3K0JevIir6siMl5hk9A120z03yTM/s320/isaac+%26+pwhat+banquet+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296542895071553538" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I am truly a blessed person. I have been blessed with a wonderful life! I need to remember to thank God everyday for all the things I have been given. Above are pictures of my 2 biggest blessings. Shelby is pictured above showing off her ribbons from a recent horse show banquet. I was so happy to get to take her. Isaac is pictured next showing his peace sign. He has no clue what it means. He has just seen other people do it. Paul & I have to be careful because he copies everything! Speaking of Paul, I have been blessed to have been married to him for 16 yrs! Man, time flies. I could not have picked a better husband and father of my children. I have also been blessed with awesome parents and siblings. I have wonderful friends. God has provided for all of my needs and most of my wants. I am so thankful but don't always remember to thank God for my blessings. That is something that I intend to spend a lot of time working on!<br /></div>lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-86129939201659658192009-01-20T16:11:00.000-08:002009-01-20T16:46:53.059-08:00I will finish what I start<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXyheLntIX2JvHR9-5TyQh1sIN5Jo6Ur2lGMOiLVcGu9p_WFhbfA3FSFqc7odUg9YaAECwfqQElx_Tm7LMYtBgU_FUehJwqkwKEU2BOD0wmE7NMNm8vubYp1eXCAjRHc4Y1ligdju8No/s1600-h/scrapbooks&yoda+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXyheLntIX2JvHR9-5TyQh1sIN5Jo6Ur2lGMOiLVcGu9p_WFhbfA3FSFqc7odUg9YaAECwfqQElx_Tm7LMYtBgU_FUehJwqkwKEU2BOD0wmE7NMNm8vubYp1eXCAjRHc4Y1ligdju8No/s320/scrapbooks&yoda+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293541394900212786" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPeHdLW6MC-smj-lCputyXbbub3lWiFs8t8b0Kc3iNTmxWpa8De6ht322mwBWCZwAz5Iuae1m0yWD1cgskBnY0BQrXbmR2gPInNcIXjZ9PJN-15HbfX32kAPmR_ywTcUTmYj_uLyDAqmg/s1600-h/scrapbooks&yoda+001.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPeHdLW6MC-smj-lCputyXbbub3lWiFs8t8b0Kc3iNTmxWpa8De6ht322mwBWCZwAz5Iuae1m0yWD1cgskBnY0BQrXbmR2gPInNcIXjZ9PJN-15HbfX32kAPmR_ywTcUTmYj_uLyDAqmg/s320/scrapbooks&yoda+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293541387408732978" border="0" /></a><br />Hello--<br />The new year is already flying by. I love starting a new year because it always feels like you get to start a clean slate. This year I am determined to finish a lot of the little projects that I have been working on forever. Last night I finished Shelby's scrapbook thru age 5 (yeah)! I just have one more of hers to complete. I have stayed pretty caught up on Isaac's. Another huge goal is to finish Paul's cross-stitched stocking. I have been working on it for more than 10 yrs!!! I know-sad! I only have the foot part left. I also want to add the pictures and journaling to Paul's Air Force album. After all my other goals are reached, I will work to catch up my family albums. They will never be done! Wish me luck!<br />Attached are pictures of my stack of completed albums and our dog, Yoda. He looked so cute that I had to take a picture. <br />Have a good night!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-27551495726426167002009-01-14T17:25:00.000-08:002009-01-14T17:39:02.593-08:00FUN QUESTIONAIRE<span><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><strong>This a fun little <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">questionaire</span> that I found on-line.

You might be thinking... What? We have been really researching everything about floor tiles for the last few nights. I saved enough $ at my 2nd job to replace the kitchen floor. We had settled on ceramic tiles. We did all the research, found the perfect tile or so we thought. Paul started asking around and found out we would have to replace the sub-floor to use real ceramic tile. This is just not possible. With the limited time Paul would have to work on it-we would be without a floor for possibly days. So now we are looking at laminate. The crazy thing it is double the price. We are still looking. I tried to upload a picture of the one we are considering but was not able to. We may resort to laminate wood--the room has paneling on the walls so wood is not my first choice. I will post before and after pictures of the room once we are done. Wish us luck!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-62156087145549946122009-01-08T19:43:00.000-08:002009-01-08T20:19:28.299-08:00A hot mess-Before & After<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWlNytgzVTti3yNf_h9BLQNd8PxydTtH590YKauJs4XDYSQok2EGJ_69cbuIoZrHAGkg8ylvbvjEX35ahizR8loyVg9AsLxYuDmsJU0YwNRJ9jlJRh0WQ8m9KSDrq_HMlFCHhZEj5e8U/s1600-h/scrapbook+desk+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWlNytgzVTti3yNf_h9BLQNd8PxydTtH590YKauJs4XDYSQok2EGJ_69cbuIoZrHAGkg8ylvbvjEX35ahizR8loyVg9AsLxYuDmsJU0YwNRJ9jlJRh0WQ8m9KSDrq_HMlFCHhZEj5e8U/s320/scrapbook+desk+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289142922611905826" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglTGTmLkT5uh5-SSMhk2ICokdRcD3b74epgZNSdjDbgOoMnX1laGIJ0gGY4yWM45_-nbW-mVUhXGCtNoK-nGwqXGaFK6_iQL7wkVMWddMu8YAIrnzUGma4XwuepKLLlxwffmQoC7FTpsY/s1600-h/scrapbook+desk+004.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglTGTmLkT5uh5-SSMhk2ICokdRcD3b74epgZNSdjDbgOoMnX1laGIJ0gGY4yWM45_-nbW-mVUhXGCtNoK-nGwqXGaFK6_iQL7wkVMWddMu8YAIrnzUGma4XwuepKLLlxwffmQoC7FTpsY/s320/scrapbook+desk+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289142931869327282" border="0" /></a><iframe style="display: block;" id="richeditorframe"></iframe><br />My scrapbook room (or I guess really just my desk) has been making me crazy for the last few weeks! It has been a HOT MESS! It started when the kids brought their school stuff home at Christmas. I didn't have time to go thru everything so I made a stack on my desk in the scrapbook room. Then, I got sick so I didn't feel like cleaning so instead of trying to stay on top of the clutter, I moved it to my desk to be dealt with later. Well, later got later and later until I hated going into my room. My room is my "happy place." After dinner tonight, I decided enough was enough!!!<br />It is now clean (yeah)! Posted are my before & after! My "happy place" is happy again & so am I!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-78276660796327103122009-01-07T17:16:00.001-08:002009-01-07T17:57:40.781-08:00Back to the grind!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccN3Yu8AmyZtCEgQz941i2nj8i9jtWUONtzIyXHBfNg0gKHG8L_mesX7erIvboGrrgh-imEXjuvJ9VhsNYEIAEB0Inoa9ZqPc5BEmTQs7XqlTx9533JoUda6tTrlNVSh1RIa2YS2rZUY/s1600-h/jan+09+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccN3Yu8AmyZtCEgQz941i2nj8i9jtWUONtzIyXHBfNg0gKHG8L_mesX7erIvboGrrgh-imEXjuvJ9VhsNYEIAEB0Inoa9ZqPc5BEmTQs7XqlTx9533JoUda6tTrlNVSh1RIa2YS2rZUY/s320/jan+09+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288735799232306450" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPFo7HGVxSt_AWFDFe5g2y622nx6a-Wu9hJP_pLY-P57Sg4clfv-3xcTYqfD74Ce6752T5bjIkG1h0djEDD7leHRXa295h5jWlAj0mZxSd0jUBpT4CYf-WyzI912aE9Vld_5xPSqFqMgc/s1600-h/jan+09+013.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPFo7HGVxSt_AWFDFe5g2y622nx6a-Wu9hJP_pLY-P57Sg4clfv-3xcTYqfD74Ce6752T5bjIkG1h0djEDD7leHRXa295h5jWlAj0mZxSd0jUBpT4CYf-WyzI912aE9Vld_5xPSqFqMgc/s320/jan+09+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288735794022195794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ftDmSO0b57yAuDPi5co475_zulmMxwZ57n6LO_UlGCSs2bgLwTDPY08chQe_l86QM-xA2sKZN5kQJWMwKbjWA_6EPwW8vvA8-hYhAx8n8gvhrC2OGtr5wgGoet1gjTyIxFNvt_vOwpg/s1600-h/jan+09+012.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ftDmSO0b57yAuDPi5co475_zulmMxwZ57n6LO_UlGCSs2bgLwTDPY08chQe_l86QM-xA2sKZN5kQJWMwKbjWA_6EPwW8vvA8-hYhAx8n8gvhrC2OGtr5wgGoet1gjTyIxFNvt_vOwpg/s320/jan+09+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288735788589941938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhelThezqihGkQlOu_rxgxtng81qXSLDD_uq92DaIg3hfFF-bvKfVfhNHI1Dj34w17CSN7jp1JT6FPYpAFila2rCk2805CI1o-c33c5lWmYHbrSCC_BbAUG3hfCkWmo0skCGt3CYtR2BN0/s1600-h/jan+09+009.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhelThezqihGkQlOu_rxgxtng81qXSLDD_uq92DaIg3hfFF-bvKfVfhNHI1Dj34w17CSN7jp1JT6FPYpAFila2rCk2805CI1o-c33c5lWmYHbrSCC_BbAUG3hfCkWmo0skCGt3CYtR2BN0/s320/jan+09+009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288735783895778162" border="0" /></a><br />Hello,<br /><br />I am getting back in the work routine. Today was a pretty good day-just busy as usual. The kids got out of school early today. Isaac had a play date and Shelby went to work with Paul. Isaac got home at about 5:30. We ate dinner. By 6:30, he was puking AGAIN! Bless his heart! Paul cleaned the carpets in his room and the hall and I gave him a bath. I hope it was because he ate too much--only time will tell!

Paul & I usually rotate spending Thanksgiving one yr with my family and the next year with his. For the last 2 yrs, Mama has spent Thanksgiving in GA with her brothers so we have spent the time with Paul's family. This is fine because Mama lost her mother at Thanksgiving so I'm sure being with her brothers makes her feel closer to her Mom. My family had a Christmas/Thanksgiving combo this year on Christmas day. This way we got to have Mama's awesome Thanksgiving meal! My favorite is the cornbread dressing. I actually made some myself this year for the first time ever. It was great--not Mama's but a great first try. Paul & the kids really loved it. Anyway, we had Thanksgiving at Paul's sister's house. It was a wonderful meal. It is the only "fancy" meal that we have every year. It is a sit down dinner with china & crystal. The table always looks beautiful! We always have so much fun! Paul set up the bouncy so the kids played outside on it for a long time. The boys spent much the day playing football w/ Tyler. The girls spent their day catching up & worshiping Tori (ha-ha). After, we went to see Grammy. She was so happy to see us! She spent the day with her son but was a little blue not seeing the whole family.<br />We were so thankful to spend the day with those that we love! <br />I had to attach a picture of my photo shoot with the kids and one from Isaac's little school program! So sweet!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-78286113754666036632009-01-06T18:16:00.000-08:002009-01-06T18:54:46.146-08:00I'm back!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcOzEHdpqcctjsiMMWHUlZVZgkoOCUfyNMbGsBU-UZtiKZLYyRczv1kte500U4ILiWIb6r3tv56q82DvrinUah-MwE-z2D20vqKCoSn9VOIO5AkwAUSzlzKjePBvXAOYFxU1NNM7ketY/s1600-h/christmas+08+051.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcOzEHdpqcctjsiMMWHUlZVZgkoOCUfyNMbGsBU-UZtiKZLYyRczv1kte500U4ILiWIb6r3tv56q82DvrinUah-MwE-z2D20vqKCoSn9VOIO5AkwAUSzlzKjePBvXAOYFxU1NNM7ketY/s320/christmas+08+051.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288379706444145890" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDRZ9qlAl3ox42JGbOZS02PtKTRmQrJTBkLLTPQfYS0FZckmCXGMBd13Zc1vhBUwF8FfH6jihslSPbPRFk_bAm91MArLSHpQwQcFXA3FO3m1ORqSp6Qizk3vnynHbhFJELmjMnE8Z7maU/s1600-h/christmas+08+056.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDRZ9qlAl3ox42JGbOZS02PtKTRmQrJTBkLLTPQfYS0FZckmCXGMBd13Zc1vhBUwF8FfH6jihslSPbPRFk_bAm91MArLSHpQwQcFXA3FO3m1ORqSp6Qizk3vnynHbhFJELmjMnE8Z7maU/s320/christmas+08+056.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288379696738742290" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxDpFwHSZXRmYUmbhAOW8Qq_glrKfXcIDNuKCxL2J2sLyIvxibD0cVidxpETwGmUai17HSmg4hA6QQM12PJm_Yx_LDMs0zOnOVAheZDTy87b2Z5jROtJD5DWS1KwI4JKDF_QCkisQwi9A/s1600-h/christmas+08+050.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxDpFwHSZXRmYUmbhAOW8Qq_glrKfXcIDNuKCxL2J2sLyIvxibD0cVidxpETwGmUai17HSmg4hA6QQM12PJm_Yx_LDMs0zOnOVAheZDTy87b2Z5jROtJD5DWS1KwI4JKDF_QCkisQwi9A/s320/christmas+08+050.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288379691237486882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvjZ8JWRZXGIWp7MqF6FuFJNd9R8bKz_CxJ0P9uUu8uJFJRNTOk6WPLCQqkgkFh3NsODW6EipzRWXGMYxJo3Y3sbCrs2pgSthJfX2DTzXc8Cna1s0gxcos1LMGdkFNRWqrFoC5THdsQM/s1600-h/christmas+08+052.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQvjZ8JWRZXGIWp7MqF6FuFJNd9R8bKz_CxJ0P9uUu8uJFJRNTOk6WPLCQqkgkFh3NsODW6EipzRWXGMYxJo3Y3sbCrs2pgSthJfX2DTzXc8Cna1s0gxcos1LMGdkFNRWqrFoC5THdsQM/s320/christmas+08+052.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288379680428099202" border="0" /></a><br />Finally--I am back!

I have enjoyed it and am so happy to have money for a new kitchen floor. Hopefully, by the end of this month Paul can begin working on it! I will post the before & after pics.

It was so much fun. I loved seeing my old classmates & friends. There were some that came that really surprised me and others that them not coming surprised me. Paul & I sat with my 2 BFF's from high school, Wendy & Cathy. We laughed & caught up on our lives. We vowed not to lose touch again. Cathy couldn't believe that we have Walking Horses too.<br />Everyone looked the same but different. Ha! I know makes no sense. Most people I could recognize by looking at the their eyes. Once I realized who each person was. I kept picturing them as they were 20 yrs ago. So wild!<br />Attached are a couple of my favorite pics from the evening...lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-11204904148535859342008-11-08T17:10:00.000-08:002008-11-08T17:50:32.277-08:00Super Saturday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3nZiNV0I5Lglk2YHfOckXfn1Eolpi8w0upaGerMuUIti-h8I5kerSyQ284no3hS94Nbz1iCKZZVwP6kOAToMVlPbN7bR8RRzqDBodsd7Kn1LcCR3zO2Off-HzvVVxAV4JvTG63Lq2cio/s1600-h/oct+31+08-27.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3nZiNV0I5Lglk2YHfOckXfn1Eolpi8w0upaGerMuUIti-h8I5kerSyQ284no3hS94Nbz1iCKZZVwP6kOAToMVlPbN7bR8RRzqDBodsd7Kn1LcCR3zO2Off-HzvVVxAV4JvTG63Lq2cio/s320/oct+31+08-27.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266462426660181426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqYE_Vf_WyFgwzbjHi-DJ5YQatMTi86cb5S8fLHqmdYFmvyX8fqqckElGeAKPvXOvPuYz9cxJ79QH-54uSL4HP7V_NLJ8Jyl5c8fRCZPFNnKviTSzp9CmbXFgqrHD3g7kye_b3jcy0LPA/s1600-h/oct+31+08-28.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqYE_Vf_WyFgwzbjHi-DJ5YQatMTi86cb5S8fLHqmdYFmvyX8fqqckElGeAKPvXOvPuYz9cxJ79QH-54uSL4HP7V_NLJ8Jyl5c8fRCZPFNnKviTSzp9CmbXFgqrHD3g7kye_b3jcy0LPA/s320/oct+31+08-28.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266462418011757090" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg1BDNYpcaW0Fsr180J1c7wCDgX6qsbYj0rBGkpVy4dRUi0POKfx5RTXM6KzSrrEjpBbVK5Icj9H4ul-8p3-lf-jkwfoc7NML24ttWCh84WqjzfiOdAZNW1CFrrfxwCsTkfDX_ViBMx5M/s1600-h/oct+31+08-25.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg1BDNYpcaW0Fsr180J1c7wCDgX6qsbYj0rBGkpVy4dRUi0POKfx5RTXM6KzSrrEjpBbVK5Icj9H4ul-8p3-lf-jkwfoc7NML24ttWCh84WqjzfiOdAZNW1CFrrfxwCsTkfDX_ViBMx5M/s320/oct+31+08-25.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266461974583450594" border="0" /></a><br />Today was a beautiful day! It was sunny & nice out. I woke up at the usual time, 5:30am. I could have slept in but I am just programed I guess. I had my first cup of coffee & played on the internet. Then did a little house work. I had to be at my second job by 12:00. I worked there until about 4:15. It was really busy but not as bad as last week. I work tomorrow from 2-9:30pm. I shopped after work. I got 3 shirts and a necklace. When I got home, Paul & I fixed dinner together. It was a tasty Frito salad. Yum! It is time for me to get the kids in the tub.<br />I have to share some pictures from work(my real job) first...these are a few of my peeps. I love my co-workers...we are truly like family. I couldn't get everyone to pose so this isn't everyone. <br />The top pic is Tanya--she is my age & has a very sarcastic sense of humor. She is so funny! The next pic is sweet Alexia--she is cute, sweet & silly. She is our newest edition. She is awesome! The last pic is of Ethan and Sara Beth both wearing wigs. It was halloween. Ethan is our token male. He is a sweet guy who cooks for us all the time. Sara Beth is a younger version of me. She & I see eye to eye on so many things. She is brilliant ( ha-ha). We also have Raechelle, Philon & Angela and then the upstairs girls and the boss. Rae is the downstairs supervisor--she's like the Mom of our group even though she is younger than most of us. Philon is crazy. She keeps me laughing. She would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. Angela is our future attorney and very smart. She is the person I go to for Mommy advice. She has 2 kids. Her youngest is a little 10 yr old girl. I don't have pictures of anyone else. :( Like I said before, we are truly like family. I wouldn't trade any of them for the world even though we sometimes want to kill each other. Ha-ha I better end this for now.

I have been as I speculated in my 1st post a lazy blogger. I just had to share my little spooks with ya. Shelby decided to be a scarecrow and Isaac was the evil spiderman. This was the first year that I didn't get to go trick or treating with them (boo-hoo.) I had to work. Paul took them to his parents neighborhood where they got tons of candy. I had to dress them up on Saturday for the costume photo shoot. ha-ha. As you can tell in these pictures, my babies are growing up.<br />Bye for now--I am going to get up & do a few chores that I have been neglecting.lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-71288474007499104752008-10-26T18:26:00.000-07:002008-10-26T18:47:54.741-07:00Pumpkin carving<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIadekQKcb76-S9SXoiAQ_OlcXoCv32LDMbq8u4X1i5lAgbO94U5ebhLGLZXd4pA-ALQWiT7pGJIx-jZWSd3WvZLq9wFdSYcbIBGslDtowEM8002lWyXhFse-T3BQsFOet4ihX9Udiao/s1600-h/pumpkin+carving+024.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIadekQKcb76-S9SXoiAQ_OlcXoCv32LDMbq8u4X1i5lAgbO94U5ebhLGLZXd4pA-ALQWiT7pGJIx-jZWSd3WvZLq9wFdSYcbIBGslDtowEM8002lWyXhFse-T3BQsFOet4ihX9Udiao/s320/pumpkin+carving+024.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261643740416073714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDfFYfcePZb4ls19v7B2D1LSmwQtM0x3PQdeysB6ivVIs_dtMbXqqkyJ_cjznzZTYg_vGKtMnYXPn7VeQdlurMF1EcpLPd2crns0OJABTceG7ekZtVlOvm4goFmUgU4f4hs4Zt9LmRXU0/s1600-h/pumpkin+carving+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDfFYfcePZb4ls19v7B2D1LSmwQtM0x3PQdeysB6ivVIs_dtMbXqqkyJ_cjznzZTYg_vGKtMnYXPn7VeQdlurMF1EcpLPd2crns0OJABTceG7ekZtVlOvm4goFmUgU4f4hs4Zt9LmRXU0/s320/pumpkin+carving+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261643098266990194" border="0" /></a><br />Today we have had another wonderful day. We woke up bright and early for our Sunday morning breakfast with Grammy & Papa. The food & company were great as usual. Then we came home and I went grocery shopping. I couldn't resist getting a huge pumpkin for us to carve. The kids were so excited. We decorated & carved the pumpkin. We saved the seeds to roast tomorrow night. I had to take pictures of the entire transformation from pumpkin to Jack-O-Lantern. The kids and Paul had a pumpkin "guts" fight (ewww.) After lighting the pumpkin, we came inside to eat the delicious hamburgers that Paul grilled. YUMMY! Then, after relaxing for a little while and the kids bath it is time for bed. Good night sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246436615962885424.post-46302188814720120422008-10-25T18:20:00.000-07:002008-10-25T18:37:59.420-07:00Horsin' Around<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DmmmVIV9JKuyx6NUM6ye4cTv1bUcjtZYf7CcurlnQXr0LuNXeuH5tWSylVND5DZDfzc7HSK7T32TiFFWMesWFenmWwEY6Jk5qJBWBjmZVu4vhaJ36E7xq2-4_Csyjra0hfr9U5up2xE/s1600-h/rising+glory+horse+show-oct+08+082.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DmmmVIV9JKuyx6NUM6ye4cTv1bUcjtZYf7CcurlnQXr0LuNXeuH5tWSylVND5DZDfzc7HSK7T32TiFFWMesWFenmWwEY6Jk5qJBWBjmZVu4vhaJ36E7xq2-4_Csyjra0hfr9U5up2xE/s320/rising+glory+horse+show-oct+08+082.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261270694526918738" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0T1d5tg6b-Q5TKUOyA2xyd-Lj-Apwpf1fXgQixmFDOEd4Mo_8qX8n5Z5nF8e1Y-lXWgWvabqJvBsT6i74c9UDnraom0AT8oYfv1Vy0JA23IUmu1tkxY272df-2aA9MLaCv_57KXobhjI/s1600-h/rising+glory+horse+show-oct+08+078.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0T1d5tg6b-Q5TKUOyA2xyd-Lj-Apwpf1fXgQixmFDOEd4Mo_8qX8n5Z5nF8e1Y-lXWgWvabqJvBsT6i74c9UDnraom0AT8oYfv1Vy0JA23IUmu1tkxY272df-2aA9MLaCv_57KXobhjI/s320/rising+glory+horse+show-oct+08+078.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261270289569573506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_WE0J8A48MCEq51ISxMXtMBWPgO2J7wQ6yDfVJ3npQLb9tXcS1_rRYvjwzFkm39U0VQSZO8yEq9czOEqnFAmE7ryxycTw7SNsdwPJlrTtlcT1J4DIwLQER11AhLE0wuRHmoGrdt_Vt-4/s1600-h/rising+glory+horse+show-oct+08+068.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_WE0J8A48MCEq51ISxMXtMBWPgO2J7wQ6yDfVJ3npQLb9tXcS1_rRYvjwzFkm39U0VQSZO8yEq9czOEqnFAmE7ryxycTw7SNsdwPJlrTtlcT1J4DIwLQER11AhLE0wuRHmoGrdt_Vt-4/s320/rising+glory+horse+show-oct+08+068.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261269751574807730" border="0" /></a><br />Today was a great day! Shelby had a horse show in Lewisburg. Our friend, Jeanie came over and picked Shelby & me up and took us to the show. It was a beautiful day. We enjoyed the scenery & girl talk on the trip over. Paul met us over there. Shelby was catch riding for the Gernt's . How awesome! Shelby loves them and their horses! She rode 5 times! That is the most she has ever shown in one show. She was awesome. She placed in every class-- 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 4th & 5th. She said it was the best show she has ever had. She did not place last in anything! We are proud of what a great rider she has grown into.<br />Ok the hot tub is calling so I am cutting this short!<br />Good night!lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01355656972865721632noreply@blogger.com0
