Lastly..... LoVe Week.

(Spencer B.'s hand, July '09-we were searching for heart shaped rocks in the creek.)

Okay, I stopped on day four.  OOPS!  Not feeling 100%, as I have this serious chest cold, and horrible cough.  Now, onto the finale....

5-- I cannot reminesse without mentioning my dearly departed Aunt Margie.....my rock, my fellow-coffee lover, my god-momma, my MOST influential person in my life besides my parents.  I love you Aunty, I miss you and I know you are watching out for me from heaven...... Thank you for everything!

6-- My Grandmas & Grandpa's, both in heaven and still alive.  I love you, and I know that I didn't appreciate you in the years past.  But, please know that I LOVE how you always are eager to listen to myself and my children ramble on.  Thank you for forging a path in this lesson of life for me......  Love you!

7-- My Besties/Bff's-  I love how you guys are never JUDGEMENTAL, and give me you honest opinions regardless of the event.  I have never realized how important all of this is until recently...... Love Ya Trish & Jess.... Thank YOU for being there for me and my family.  You are wonderful "Fairies".

Last but not least:
-- A few days ago, we recieved a valentine in the mail with no return address.....but, it was signed, "Love, GOD"!  I kid you not!  It was small, pink, and red; with a coffee cup on the front!  He know's me!  God, is good.... spread the love..........  THANK YOU GOD!

LoVe Week Day 4...

I must say my brother and his wonderful wife!
Ron has always been my "keeper."  He keeps me safe, on solid ground, and looks out for my best interests.  I LOVE THAT!  He is a great brother, unckie, and daddy.  I am so proud of how he has turned out!  Despite the times we used to try to beat each other up :o) THANK YOU for making me tough, Bro!
I love his wife Marisa- she is so much like myself!  More laid back, crafty, kind, generous, and is a foodie! AND she gave me my precious, one-and-only niece; Miranda!  Oh how I love my baby niece!
  Love ya Maris & Ron!

LoVe Week Day 3...

I so love my parents.....
They are so precious to me.  My Mom and Dad have been my "Faithful Fans".  And continue to be my "sounding boards." 
They have taught me so much in life:  morals & values, integrity, honesty, goodness, kindness, giving of oneself, to reach my dreams and goals (and never lose sight of them!) 
They have been married for 39 years on this Friday the 12th.  They survived through many trials and tribulations throughout their marriage.  After all, they we teen-married parents!  They survived my Dad's college education, the life of a teacher, life as a railroader-being away from his family due to lay-offs and ect- and life as farmers/ranchers.  They are tough-cookies!  Thank YOU Mom and Dad for making me who I am and I am so proud to come from such great "stock"!
I Love You more than words would EVER EXPRESS!
Happy Anniversary, and Happy LoVe Day!

LoVe Week Day 2...

My children.....
Andy- My sweet little first-born.  He is my empathatic, sweet, kind, aggressive, athletic, big brother to all.  I cannot wait to see what he does with his life, as he already has college pick out, and a plan in place at age 9.5 years!  What an achiever!  I love to watch him play all sports.....
Matt-  My sweet special second baby... who is quiet, inquisitive, kind, gentle, loves Star Wars EVERYTHING, he is the cuddle-bug of the family.  I love when he hums while he does tasks, as he is so happy!  He is my inspiration for everything, and I try to see through his eyes... his precious brown eyes.  I love you Mr. Mat!  I am so proud of you!
Megan- My beloved little girl.  She loves her puppy, her dollies, and her brothers.  She is my rock, my apprentice, my confidant, my comfort.  I love her so...... 
I thank the Lord for all of them everyday!

It's LoVe week....

Yep, let us celebrate Valentine's day all week.... starting by posting daily someone or something we cannot live without...
1. My Hubby.... he is so dear to me! He is my everyting....

p.s. turn up your speakers and dream with me about a lovely dance in a wonderful place with dear hubby...

I am a slacker!!

Yep, this week has flown by, mostly because Jeffey has been home most of it.... He took his rest days, and a personal day.  It was wonderful having him here to help with the kids.  They have been wearing on me pretty much the past two weeks.  Anyhow, we have no major plans for the weekend.  Nope, basketball is over---officially--- So, we will put all focus on wrestling.  Our first tourney is Feb 27 at Chadron.  Andy is prety excited, Matt not so much.  We will try to keep him encouraged, as it is so good for him.....   Well, I am off to workout and then work on cleaning this MESsy house.  It has gotten out of control! YIPeS!!  Take Care all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weekend is officially over....

Yep, it is Tuesday, and we had a pretty darn good weekend.  Andy had basketball games on Saturday in Chadron.  The boys are showing great inprovements, and are making lots of progress in playing together as a team.  I was impressed!  Then after the game, Andy's buddy came to spend the night.  Which we then decided to go to the movie, "The Tooth Fairy."  It was a cute, happy movie....
Sunday, Jeffey came home from work, then we took the kids to the ranch, and then left for Rapid.  We had a great time at the Stock Show, and then shopping everwhere.... lots of looking and more walking...  Boy am I sore today!
