Familes are Forever

Family.... what is this really?

As I was looking at a family’s member blog this hit me rather hard. I have wasted the better part of 20 years of memories and love with some of my family. About 16 years ago I got a call from another family member stating that my grandparents were far too old to be tending my girls. It seems they are not too old anymore since they are always tending others. So my response to this was OK than…… and I never had MY/OUR grandparents ever tend my girls again. I gave all the power to them and now 16 years later I see that not only did I give them the power I also let it cost me the relationship I had with them and the one that my girls could have had and deserved. There once was a day that I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s home. I use to walk over their daily just to practice the piano. And now I bet months go by without talking to them. I feel like the bad person in the family. I really wish that I could change some things in life… but we all know that we can’t so I guess I will just have to live with it. The part I would not change is the wonderful family that I have. I have three beautiful girls and a GREAT husband. I only hope that I have done any justice in rising them right. I know at times they all three think I am stupid and crazy at the same time. I know that a few of them are still in the stages of not really liking me….. even though I LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART! I am in hopes this stage does not last very long. So enough of all this…. I am stoked to making a change in not letting my stubborn self get the best of me, and for not letting family…… run me off anymore. After all is your family suppose to be family not your judge!

Winner gets a prize

So this is my trip to Wal Greens tonight. I had a few register rewards that expired tonight. I had Kelly go with me.... he was not thrilled at first, but after the outcome he was OK with it.

SO this picture is of all the stuff I got there........ look it over and at the end there is a question with a prize!

This one was almost the best one!

OK... anyone going to get this one right???

Count them... Seventeen packages of Bum Fottie......

Bet you will die when I finally post the total on this shopping trip!

This was the last one.... I needed to use the last register reward I had..... the m&m's where just a filler.

I want all of you that might still be looking at my blog... I know I have not updated this for a few months..... SORRY! summer is here I will get better I do have a ton of pictures and lots to post about. SO the winner gets..... not sure yet. (maybe a lesson in how to use coupons) This is really for all the people that give me crap about the coupon binder! Guess how much I spent at the store tonight! AND MOM AND HOLLY DON'T CHEAT!

So anyone even close yet?

The deodorant I got at Walmart?? any takers on guessing how much I spent here?

Sure hope someone can get close... be sure to study the pictures and don't leave anything out when calculating your guess!

Great Work Friends!

SO I work with these 2 wonderful, creative and crazy at times ladies. They go across the street to the park to eat lunch. There just happens to be a climbing wall at the park and one day I get a call to come over.... well when I get over there they are sitting on top of the climbing wall eating lunch. SO while riding Saturday Kelly says to me.... here are some NEW rocks Heidi and Kathleen can eat lunch on! SO GIRLS... one day I will bring my truck to work and we will eat lunch on the rocks!!!! I love these ladies and they MAKE work a great place to be! Thanks Heidi and Kathleen, YOUR THE BEST!!!

Cabin Fever!

Kelly had some cabin fever this past weekend and decided that he wanted to go with some friends from work out to Warner Valley and play in the sand! WE HAD A BLAST. This crazy person on the motor cycle is a crazy person that he works with. It is unreal just how far he can jump. ( I think he is just a few french fry's short of a happy meal, but fun to watch.)

This is the same crazy guy this time with NO feet on the pegs!! WHOLLY COW!

Bug needs to give the bike some GAS!!!

Nice STUCK marks from bug... she is not a big sand driver

Kelly giving bug a ride all the way up the hill!!

Kelly and the others working on getting the volley ball net up.

Finished picture of all the hard work in the new trailer.

CRANK it UP!!!

This is just one of the reasons I love NASCAR!! It is almost impossible not to get hooked on all that speed and sound..... CAN'T wait until the next race of this year......Not sure when that might be.

Lots of work!!

Bug is really no help!!

Like the green fish in the tub... any ideas how to get them out?

YUCK!! the window trim is ridiculous and that white thin board on the wall had to go.....

Kelly made new ones!! He is such a great husband!!!

Kelly really thinking about changing the vinyl

floor....... any guesses.... yep!

What a difference a color makes!

You can see why Kelly was having a hard time keeping the old carpet. I need to get a final finished picture and post it. This was a lot of work but worth every minute...our new trailer is like new!!!!! Can't wait to spend some time camping this summer.
