Hey there yall. I wanted to post this picture on here to remind us all to remember those far away. This was one of the pictures I took to use as a Christmas card. I got alot of comments from neighbors. Some I had never met before. It seems someone knows someone who has been over or going over to the sandbox as my big brother always says. This past weekend I was reminded that people have fought to give us the rights we have. Although I really think it is wrong to bad mouth the USA, my family has fought for that right. SO you can burn a flag, spit on the soldiers coming home, yell names at them. Because they have fought for you, you can do all those things. It really is funny when you think of it. People want to yell and "defend" their thoughts and rights but if they weren't fighting for us we wouldn't have those rights. I don't want to get into a debate on if this war is a just war or not. I am only interested in the people and their families who have sacraficed so much. Time away from loved ones, not being able to see your child born, not being there to help support your wife/husband when things get overbearing. Poeple have died defending this country of ours. All for your right to yell, scream, spit on them. Being a military brat the one thing I know.... This is the best country and I am very PROUD to say my family has given when needed. My dad wasn't always there when I came home from school. He wasn't always at my chorus concerts, he couldn't tuck me in at night like my other friends dads. But I can tell you one thing, He taught me how to hold my head up high and to fight for my country. My Mom was a Navy wife. She was alone more times then I can remember as dad was away. She taught each one of us kids that you still go on. Day to day you keep going. Things had to get done, she did them. I honestly think that when you are called to the military, whether solider or wife/husband you have the highest calling. You should be very proud of yourself and your loved one. I know I am proud of my Grandfather who was in the Navy... My Father, navy... Oldest Brother Army (still serving)... Brother Army... Aunt Airforce.... Uncle Marines....... Husband Airforce.... Mother..Navy wife..... Myself Airforce wife for a brief time... (sorry if I forgot anyone)So thank you family for giving of yourselves for this country. I LOVE YOU ALL

Alot has happened in the last two months. First let me start with Sarah and her DEBUT singing. She is in a class where they learn from music and they put show on. She loves singing (I have no idea where she got that just kidding). I knew she could sing but I didn't really know she could really sing. I was sitting in the audience that first night of the show all proud but when she got up to sing the last song of the night I was BLOWN AWAY! She had me speechless. I hope she makes you speechless as well. This class is really a nice class. She has alot of friends in the class. I have been given glances into the woman Sarah is becoming and it takes my breath away. Wow is all I can say! It doesn't look like the video is going to work tonight so I will have to do it tom. after I get home from work. Wish it would save! I was going to put up one of Noah as well but I guess I will have to do it tom as well. He got to sing at Church with the Adult choir. He sang Away in a Manger verses 1 ...

Cheering 101

I hope you enjoyed the video. I went to Sarah's game this past Saturday to watch her cheer. She did good and you could hear her even when she turned around. This being her first year cheering for football she seems very interested in it. Who knows she might just be a fan soon! Okay Uncles.... she doesn't have one team she likes yet, so recruit her for your team. Uncle Teddy I think she Might be leaning to the Cowboys because her friend likes them. You just never know!

So Much Time HA

I thought, as I always do, that once the kids are back in school I would have spare time on my hands. Well this year has been no different than the other years. No time. Laundry, cooking (I cook when Mike isn't home), cleaning, cleaning and more CLEANING. I hate cleaning. It would be easier if the people living in my house would put their things away when they are done with it but they don't. So there fore I must clean up after them. I think I should count my blessings as I have quite a few. One of which I don't HAVE to work. I think I might like to work but I don't have to atleast not yet. I have to say I love my Longaberger business. It is very fun to go out and make a few new friends and make some extra money. So if any of you would like to have a show I will travel! I should tell you that I did take a bustrip to Ohio in September. We had a ball. Ike came across Ohio and killed the electricity at the hotel for a few hours. It was funny eating by candle light. I was g...
