Decapitated Fred!

2008-12-02T19:48:00.002-06:00

Yesterday we had another dr. appt. for Jacobs arm at this point I couldn't tell you how many times we have been back and fourth to the doctors but they know him by name now. Its almost become a routine for us. Jacob got his last cast off yesterday and is now wearing a soft cast. Yay improvement! His arm is healing fast and we are so greatful for that. He was given a blue stress toy to use for

Its been awhile!

2008-10-27T15:34:00.002-06:00

Things kinda went downhill again for us, I am thoroughly convinced it never ends and it never will, Jacob has broken his arm a few weeks ago. Hes doing a lot better now but hes been through so much. He literally broke it in two with one bone laying on the other and has had to have 2 surgeries which he did phenomenal through. We go back on Thursday the doctor wants to take off the cast and x-ray

Homecoming!

2008-09-29T09:58:00.002-06:00

My Cody was picked for homecoming king how cool is that. What a great experience. At the same time it was kinda bizarre for us as we were sitting on the bleachers before they had announced the king people were actually chanting his name my husband and I just looked at each other it was weird for the both of us. Then when they announced him as homecoming king it was like a huge eruption from the

So busy these days......

2008-09-22T12:36:00.002-06:00

It's been insanely busy for us. Over the weekend a couple of Cody's friends had come home from college to visit. I made a chocolate cake on Saturday and apple cobbler on Sunday and both are just gone. Where on earth did these boys put it all too funny. Cody is in the running top four for home coming king. The awesome thing about it is he is in with three of his friends. The funny part about it is

We lost our girl...

2008-09-11T11:20:00.002-06:00

We lost Taz on Sept. 3. She lived a long good life. We have had her since my oldest was about 2 I can remember her chasing him down the hallway and biting the diapers off his butt but yet never ever left any marks on him. Of course Cody had eventually turned it into a game he thought it was funny.Its funny some people have pets our pets have kids. Taz would do bed checks on the boys every night.

What happened to real crafts?????????

2008-06-24T09:57:00.002-06:00

For the past few days I have been under the weather and was unable to go to our towns fair. A friend of ours went to check out the craft show and gave us a full report. He cracks me up I don't think he realized how much I needed his humor. Anyway he was telling us that there were hardly any craft booths and the ones that were there pretty much stunk. Although he did say that there was one with

2008-06-04T22:10:00.002-06:00

It's been awhile since I have blogged about anything. Seems like time just flies by. Well I had a garden, I had planted zucchini, cucumbers, green peppers, onions and tomato plants. All to be wiped out by a severe storm. I don't know if they will recover from that or not I seriously doubt it. We were hit with 80-100 mi winds, hail up to walnut size which hit so fast there were places that it was

I just realized I haven't updated on my hubby's condition. We found out he has Crohn's Disease he is doing alright but still in a lot of pain. We have a long road ahead for us but we will manage we always do.It's really hard sometimes not to get down. I live with OA and a bulging disc in my back that has shifted. Now my husband is down but he is determined. I absolutely love that about him he has

What my blog is about

I had someone ask what it was about. It's about everything and nothing. It is more like a journal for the most part, but now I am also using it for my work at home business as well. I write about my family to keep family and friends updated as we are all spread out every which direction. I write because sometimes I just get so bored I needed an outlet.I have also made friends from the blog which

This is way outta my league. He is talking about wearing a white tux with a pink vest and white shoes since his prom date will be wearing a pink dress. He will look good in anything he wears though he always does.But wow, I

Have you ever wished you were someone else even for just one day. I feel like that a lot sometimes. I know there is a reason for everything but anymore I just wonder why. If it could go wrong it went wrong today. Just out of frustration I want to cry, scream or even kick something but I know that won't solve anything.It would be so nice to have everything go in the right direction for a change,

I got in trouble the other day with the hubby person. I still haven't made his strawberry cake he wanted. My bad! My husband has been in pain for quite some time but now it has come to the point where it is just unbearable pain. So we have been back and fourth with doctors and having test run. At first they thought it was a hernia but nothing showed up. So now we have to wait till our doctor can

I know it's a little early yet but a lot has been going through my mind. When I look back on this year I hope and pray next year will be better. We had our ups and downs, sometimes it seems like we had more downs than ups.What I am most grateful for is our family and our friends. We would of been so lost without everyone.

I swear it never fails if one thing don't go wrong something else will. My day started with a hurried teen running late for school, he got in his car and couldn't go nowhere he was out of gas but he remembers to check his oil. Seriously shaking my head at this point. My husband is down with a nasty cold so he is home today and going to the doctors I hope they can give him something to make it go

2007-11-20T11:30:00.000-06:00

I will avoid it like the plague. My first attempt at shopping on black Friday was my last and that was last year. Never had I seen so many people rude, pushy, and on some cases down right mean. Why do some people get like that around the holidays granted I know stress may cause some of it but come on everyone has some sort of stress to deal with.Last year we went to store to try key word here try

Scary creepy guy is gone!

2007-11-12T14:09:00.000-06:00

I was so excited to learn yesterday that scary creepy guy had moved.Oh he was a piece of work, one minute he was yelling cussing throwing stuff and the next thing he would sing show tunes. We never knew what to expect next. The neighborhood kids named him the scary creepy guy. Thankfully they all knew to steer clear of him. Ok, so ya this is a totally useless post

We are still working on our house this is taking longer than I wanted it to but I am still so thrilled its getting done.A lot of changes have happened to our family some good some bad and some that definitely scared me.Our oldest is now working, driving and now starting to get college information in the mail. I try not to think too much about it because

2007-09-17T13:37:00.000-06:00

It's been crazy around as usual that part never seems to change. We just recently got a new roof put on which is a blessing and so need to be done. We are working on our house we had a week of random events I could of lived without but that is par for the course I reckon. In a matter of a week my husband just darn near fell through a beam broke that he was close to so scary, then another day our

It is with great pleasure I get to say our 15 and under Babe Ruth boys will be representing Kansas in the Regionals tournament to be held in Boone, Iowa.I am so thrilled that our boys accomplished this, the boys thought going to State was an honor so they are real jazzed up about this. They played hard worked hard to get there. Not only that but our boys also got the sportsmanship award. It is

So sorry it's been awhile

2007-07-10T09:34:00.000-06:00

So it's been awhile since I have last blogged but a lot has gone on since. Just recently my hometown has flooded and a lot of homes were lost to that flood. It makes me sick just to think of everything the families have lost. Thankfully though no lives were lost and that is what matters the most but I still can't help but feel horrible inside every time I see their kids toys out by the curb.

He always amazes me though. He has

Why is it?

2007-05-28T00:05:00.001-06:00

When things are already rough you get totally kicked down even further. I just don't understand how people can be so cruel. We were robbed the other day, someone went through our suburban and stole all our fishing poles, tackle boxes, even the pole holder just everything. The only comfort I got from this whole experience is knowing whoever took our stuff also took the stink bait and boy do they

This is a picture of the river well actually the parking lot to the river down here. Would you believe someone was fishing in the parking lot I don't know why but that made me laugh. Although he tried he didn't catch anything. Alot of the fishermen and women came down to fish. I thought about it but I don't really care to fish the river unless it's down. I have a terrible time trying to fight the

Awesome Weekend!

2007-05-06T20:09:00.000-06:00

Well until today hit. We spent most of the weekend fishing. Our son Jacob caught his first 13 in bass unfortunately we had to turn it back due to the guidelines but it was awesome watching him fight to bring it in by himself. What was really neat was there was this guy just driving around the lake he stopped his car to watch Jacob bring it in, once Jacob got it in and started walking back to me

What a weird day!

2007-04-25T23:56:00.000-06:00

I went over to my neighbors house for instructions on the care of one of the dogs because he isn't doing well they almost lost him. Anyway the other dog had a seizure while I was there. I always watch their dogs because their dogs know me. We often joke about how I have become the stepmom to them. Ok so I love my fur babies.......It was weird to see a dog have a seizure I have never seen that

Tonights Varsity Ballgame

2007-04-23T21:21:00.000-06:00

Tonight we got to go to a varsity ball game finally. I am so glad we got to go. It was a night of first for us. We got to see one of the boys hit a real nice home run that was so cool. The neatest thing was watching the boys get all jazzed up about it they all came out of the dugout and waited at home plate while he was running bases. I loved every minute of watching them get that excited.

Cody's Ball Game

2007-04-18T23:33:00.000-06:00

It was amazing to me how over confident the other team was. They came in with the attitude they were going to win and thats it. Well lets just say they had their um bats handed to them. Our boys won both games. I could of lived without the weather though, the temperature dropped down fast then it rained and then the wind kicked up it was so cold but I held out. I sat in my chair next to our

Last nights storm was so weird it started snowing about 5 pm huge flakes of snow it was pretty but messy. Then a little bit later on we had some wicked low pink lightening and thunder that just kept on going I swear it lasted at least two minutes every time. Kinda freaky though. It was kinda neat to see the lightening when it was snowing.Then last night I had the crap scared out of me, the weight

Cody's Baseball Game Last Night

2007-04-13T14:44:00.002-06:00

Cody's team had a double header last night and our boys won both games! Cody pitched the first game and said he had done really good. I just wish he remembered what the scores were. I got kinda worried though as he didn't come home till after 10:30 last night but I also knew that they were playing far away.

Science Fair Projects

2007-04-12T08:51:00.000-06:00

Jacob's science teacher has figured out the hard way that food projects do not make the best science fair projects. Jacob said he had to throw away three of the students projects due to horrific smells. I kinda figured that would happen. I am pretty sure there will be more thrown out soon as there is one project with bananas and they are already black and stinky, and another one with cheese and

I have had enough of this rain already. Pretty soon we will need a boat to get to the cars. Cody's baseball game was canceled the other day they were going to try to reschedule it for today but I don't see that happening either I am pretty sure the fields are totally swamped. He also has a game on Thursday I am pretty sure it will be rained out by the way the weather has been going. I am glad we

2007-04-11T10:49:00.000-06:00

They are now saying it is possible arson, there was also another fire that morning at another school it wasn't the school but a building on the property. It had been there for over 150 years. So sad that this happened and I know a lot of people here are very upset by someones poor choices they had made. This is a small town and there is a lot of pride down here. I just hate seeing things like

Guess I will find out soon enough. I know the boys will be

2007-04-08T19:48:00.000-06:00

Our middle school had a modular building put next to the middle school building not too long ago, they used it for the gifted classes so I have been told. I knew they had used it for extra classroom space but didn't know for what class. I can't remember how long its been there. Well around 4:30 this morning it caught on fire. It is completely gutted from the fire. I am just thankful that it

We rented Eragon I admit I liked that one and from the ending it had it looks like they will come out with another can't wait to find out. We also rented You Me and Dupree I didn't think it was as funny or as they put it hilarious at all but

He had the date the team they were playing and everything put on it. His dad is getting a cube display box to put it in. Figures I missed it that is the one thing I have always wanted to see is one of

Jacob almost missed it this morning, Cody did I had to take him this morning that was fun. I am having to drive our suburban I can drive it but I am not comfortable driving it, I tend to get this attitude I'm bigger

Weird Ball Game Tonight

2007-04-03T20:21:00.000-06:00

Tonight was one of the weirdest games I have ever seen. First the boys had a double header so the coaches put in the younger guys to play first our boys got stomped didn't even stand a chance on that one. Cody did play toward the end he was pitching when he pitched they didn't get anymore runs though so that was great. Now for the weird game the other team didn't want to play the entire 7 innings

I am still trying to get used to the fence being moved I still walk all the way around when I go to take my trash out back. On Saturday I got all of my stuff moved out of my booth space, that didn't take as long as I thought it would thankfully. It felt kinda weird I

Jesse was loading wood up to get ready for his trip to the dump tomorrow, anyway he was loading the wood in the truck and shattered the back window. We so do not need this right now. At the same time I couldn't stop laughing about it. He had no idea that he had shattered it, I was raking up the yard heard a weird

Jacobs tooth

2007-03-30T12:37:00.000-06:00

Jacob had a rough time this past week but I wanted to let everyone know his tooth finally came out. He was so desperate to get this tooth out he even asked me to get a pair of pliers out and pull it for him. It came out last night on its own. I can see why it hurt though, it was a huge tooth and it had on one side a long part of bone that was pointy and sharp so I imagine thats why it hurt him so

Our busy week

2007-03-30T12:14:00.000-06:00

I took a week off from the internet and alot of other stuff as well. I have been down most of it but I am starting to feel better, well I was until the rain hit. We have had the most busiest couple of weeks and I am waiting for it to slow down but yet I don't think that will happen anytime soon. I didn't think I would survive spring break my god the kids came out of the woodwork at one point and

First Baseball Game

2007-03-30T11:53:00.000-06:00

Cody had his first baseball game on thursday night and it was a double header. The boys won both games the first one was scored at 15-4 it was a great game. I have to do some bragging Cody played centerfield and had a couple of really great catches the one that got me going the most though was the one where the ball went to right field, Cody was in centerfield we didnt know if he could make it or

This is Lucy my parents new addition. She is quite a love. I have never in my life seen such a relaxed cat. We found out that she preferred not to be around other cats. If one of ours even looked at her she was hissing at them, it was great. Lucy had attitude. They didn't know what to think about that.She is very loveable and has a tendency to want to help my parents put their puzzles together.

I Want To Go Fishing!

2007-03-22T14:55:00.000-06:00

I still need to get my fishing license before I can go and haven't been able to do that yet, just not right at all.It kinda irritated me that they had both managed to tell me all about

Here are our newest additions to our fish tank. There is actually four of them but one hid smart snail. We are enjoying watching them. They will crawl up the fish tank and then just fall down. They also seem to want to mate a lot and sometimes all together at the same time which was fun explaining to Jacob what that was about.I never would of thought watching snails could be entertaining but it

When Irish Eyes Are Smilingwords and music Chauncey Olcott & George Graff, Jr. There's a tear in your eye, And I'm wondering why,For it never should be there at all.With such pow'r in your smile, Sure a stone you'd beguile,So there's never a teardrop should fall.When your sweet lilting laughter's Like some fairy song,And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;You should laugh all the while And all

Shopping

2007-03-16T06:16:00.000-06:00

I am probably not a normal female, I so totally detest shopping. Any kind of shopping I just do not like to shop. I can walk in a store in a relatively good mood and come out wanting to slug someone. What I really can't stand are some of the other customers in the stores. It never fails you will hit road blocks in the grocery isles because some people feel the need to block everyone elses way. Or

Bragging Time

2007-03-14T22:05:00.000-06:00

I have some bragging to do today. My oldest son Cody competed in the 2007 Kansas General Federation of Women's Clubs Arts Competition. In which he earned a 2nd place award for a scratchboard eagle he had done. We had no clue until our neighbor came outside and said to tell Cody congratulations so I had to ask him on what, when he had told me about it and that it was in the newspaper down here I

My Teenagers

2007-03-13T09:03:00.000-06:00

The kids had figured out that I have over 20 kids that call me mom. It reminds me so much of my mom, all our friends called her mom seems like mom just adopted them throughout the years. Well now it is my turn and somehow it had happened without me realising it happened. It is a fun experience all though there are times I would like to pull my hair out. Its funny over the years the kids always

Childhood Memories

2007-03-12T12:56:00.000-06:00

Have you ever had a song that just takes you back to a time when things were good and just make you want to cry when you hear it. The other night I was flipping the channels on the remote and I came across the kcpt channel there on it was John Denver singing Country Roads. I just about lost it. I have always somehow related his music to my grandparents.We had spent quite a bit of time at my

Mom's homemade cinnamon rolls just rub it on and get it over with. So glad they came down today! Although I am still pretty stuffed and feeling fat and sassy.We had a wonderful weekend with all the grandparents. I love that the weather is now warming up and everyone can get out and about. It looked like a ghost town down here during the winter we all hibernate so well.I can't wait to get working

Guppies

2007-03-08T13:04:00.000-06:00

We have new babies! Pretty soon we will have way too many. Seems like the adult guppies have grown a tolerance for the fry. Normally they eat their fry. I have no clue as to how many we now have because we also have at least a two dozen fry in the breeder trap and quite a few in the tank itself. The baby toward the bottom of the picture is our first born from several weeks ago was the only one I

Baseball Season Is Under Way

2007-03-08T12:28:00.000-06:00

My oldest son Cody and his team have started their practice for high school baseball a couple of weeks ago. Cody is getting pretty banged up already. The other day he slid under the fence to catch a ball which he did catch but he got pretty scraped up and muddy. When he came home the other day from practice one of his shoes and his pant leg was covered in mud. They are really working hard getting

My Crazy Day!

2007-03-06T02:03:00.000-06:00

We started out with a real fun one. First our cat Jasmine some how or another got up in the attic. So naturally my husband was late for work because he was on safari. Finally after a good 30 minutes or so he was able to get him down from there. Later on I was folding laundry and if I wouldn't of seen it I would never of believed it but our cat did it again only this time he fell through the
