Wow, What A Month

I'm still here. Finding time for blogging has been a little difficult for me this month, starting with Halloween. We get busy with decorating for Halloween, getting the kids ready for Halloween and our yearly Halloween Party we go to. Then that throws straight into November with birthdays and the holidays. By some unusual chance all three of our children were born in November. My son on the 9th, my youngest daughter on the 29th, my oldest daughter on the 30th, my sister on the 26th and my mother-in-law on the 4th. November is full of Birthdays. So, a big shout out to my other mom, Happy Birthday Kat! We love you!

December is pretty much the same. There is my mom on the 2nd, my dad on the 6th and my husband on the 17th. Then Christmas follows. Plus, I have been working on my website non-stop trying to get it ready for Christmas. There just doesn't seem to be enough time in the days lately.

Happy Father's Day

It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.  ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

Dad, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever.  ~Author Unknown

Happy Father's Day sweetheart, we love you!!

Holiday Fun

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend. I know our family had a great time. We had a family barbecue with our friends and family. Memorial Day is probably one of my favorite holidays, it is one of those holidays where you don't have all the pressure of getting gifts, the family comes together to kick off summer and have fun. Summer barbeques are what memories are made of, they are some of my fondest memories growing up. Most of us remember those fun times we had at the family barbeques playing with our cousins growing up.

I always try and make it extra fun for the kids, so they have a great time. We got them poppers, sparklers, sidewalk chalk and glow in the dark necklaces, so they wouldn't get bored. I enjoy watching them playing and having fun together. It was actually amusing to watch them all running down the sidewalk on bikes, scooters, and skate boards together. My husband said "It looks like the Fat Albert Gang." I think they were louder than the adults, especially when we got the fire pit going to roast marshmallows. But that's what it's all about, having fun together. Lets not forget the real reason that brings us all together for Memorial Day, remembering the our countries, vets.

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!!!!

Happy Mothers Day Everyone!!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone has a wonderful & blessed Easter Sunday with family & friends.
