Finally getting a little crafty

I saw a craft on Becky's blog that I just had to try. So Becky C. (who does my shopping for me since I don't get out much) got all the stuff and look what we have been making. They are rather disposable but only cost about $4 to make. I am now on my 5th or 6th one. I forgot how crafting makes my heart happy.

Still Not Bad After All These Years!

Ok Brandi - you asked!! I think it still is.

35 Years and Still Going

Jeff and I celebrated 35 years of marriage on Sat. We picked the first day of spring to get married and then.....they changed it to the 20th, however it reverts back to the 21st in a few years. I don't know where the years went, but they went fast. We were married in Hot Springs, SD. This is a special place for us, one that we would like to retire to in 10 or 15 years. So Sat. night we drove up for supper and a drink, it was really nice. Brandi was the only one of our children that remembered, well Damion did too but I think it was from a friendly reminder from his sister. Thanks to Brandi for the blog!! We looked like babies and we were!! That was a prom picture for us, we started dating when we were just 15. I thought he had a nice butt and a cool car, definitely good reasons to base a marriage on. HA HA! Anyway.......I wish all of you that many and more wonderful years with your guys too.

It's spring and the birds are back!

Papa, Emma & Taylor are putting up bird feeders to welcome the birdies back from their winter get away.

Fun at the Park

What a wonderful day!

Thank you to: everyone who called and sent cards, to the Fort for the delicious meal, Brandi & family for the cooking utensils, Becky for the blanket, Twila for the table runner, JoAnn & Debbie for the bird feeder, and Jeff for the movie. I had a great birthday and I only feel 25 :) :) :)AND on top of all that my Aunt Ginny called from Montana! I think this year is going to be the BEST every!

Curls and Girls...Bruises and Boys

Oh the difference of boys and girls. Most of this weekend was girl time. Adrianne spent Friday and Sat. night with grandma and papa and Miss Emma stayed with her dad this weekend so she got to spend time at my house too. We played makeup, fixed our hair, got out the dolly stuff and watched Strawberry Shortcake over and over and over..............you get the idea. However Jaxon came over for a little while on Sat. night and Austin joined us after the wrestling tournament. Quiet time was over, out came the trucks, bikes and blocks. Emma ended up getting her curly little head slammed in the door and Adrianne had bloody knees by the time we were ready for bed. But we had so much fun and I love watching the cousins play. I watch Emma with the reserve nature just like her daddy, Adrianne has Jeremy's love of animals, Jaxon has Brandi's nurturing personality and Austin has his mother's social attributes. They just crack me up and I love spending time with them.
