Happy 4th of July!

Okay so today is the 4th of July and I was looking for a cool picture of a flag to put on my blog. I really didn't see on I liked. But I found this picture of the sky I took when we went to Maryland to visit Aunt Betty a few years ago. I think the sky may have looked like this on that morning Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem.

Today is a great day for this country. I am very proud of the service men and women that have served our country. Willingly giving up a part of their lives for us. Sometimes giving up their lives for freedom. So Thank you one and all.

Sometimes saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. Sometimes it is more than enough. So if you see someone in uniform just say thanks. You might just be surprised by the reaction of the service man/woman. I remember riding by the Armory a few years ago and their was a group of protesters on front of the armory. They were screaming at the men in uniform. I was angry and I could tell Mike was as well. He wanted to stop and yell at the protesters. I rolled my window down and yelled "thanks for serving" to the men in uniform. The protesters stopped and looked, the men stopped smiled and yelled "your welcome". We were stuck in traffic for a few minutes and I saw the men in uniform walk with smiles on their faces and the protesters stop yelling at least until we were gone. You just never know when a kind word will touch someones day.

So Thanks for all you do to the MANY service men and women! May God Bless you and keep you safe!

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...
