old man philosophy

This picture makes me smile. Being married aint no easy thang, but every once in awhile if you get the chance to romance up in the mountains with the 3 loves of your life {dog, horse, wife}, life just gets easy.

Man Im missing the mountains.......

Another good

I love me a good duo. These two are excellent.

fav

This just may be my favorite picture of all time.

Carved a few months after we were married in one of the most beautiful places on earth when we didnt have a care in the world, well except for figuring out life and all.
Thanks Skye...

puppy huts

The kids spent all morning tearing the house and my purse apart, and building their "kids only space" in which they spread cereal everywhere, hid from their sister, and told 3 year old dirty jokes...i.e...."poo is brown like a cow" "ah hahahaha" {kids}

But it wasn't the awesome kids only space, the shredded coupons Maya so diligently tore apart, or Honey Bunches of Oats in my vacuum that I loved, its what I found inside this hut after I persuaded nap time with cupcakes....it worked :)

Meet the newestest member of the family. Im not sure how I like being a dog owner....but that little black whirlwind is growing on me. But don't worry Violet, girl cats rule, boy dogs drool.

fa fa fa friday

~I was at the park today with a friend talking about the 2nd Transformer movie and how I wasnt going to let my kids watch it because of the inappropriate innuendos its littered with, and guess where my 3 and 4 year old are right this very second?.....down the street watching Bumble Bee and Decepticons fight it out. hmmmm.

~Since we moved to Nebraska the weeks have just flown by. I have nothing to show for it. Still have bright pink and blue walls, still have boxes lying around, still am a bit "moved depressed"

~Slap in my face moment: Leah changed her mind about what she wants to be when she is big, "I want to be you mom" Why? I asked. "Because you watch TV, you eat treats, you wear makeup."
I will be the first one to admit, I do all of these things and more.

~The Schwann Man is my best friend these days. Have you had the Toffee Crunch bars? They are killer. killer. killer.

~There is a show on MTV called 16 and pregnant. I loved every episode. But the last one, had me balling my eyes out (in a good way). This 16 year old girl and boy had to face the very huge decision of adoption with no support from their not normal families. A mistake turned into a miracle for another family. I loved it.

~I finally started working out again. Only 2 years later. But Im still eating toffee bars....at 1130 pm at night.

~The county fair is next week. This is b-i-g here. Lets hope it doesnt disappoint.

~We are doing some major projects to the outside of our home. Exterior painting, a new deck, concrete work. You know what this means? Goodbye nest egg. Darned.

~I love the green here. I love the corn fields. I love the soybean fields. I love no street lights. And no noise. And seeing coyotes up on the hills at dusk. And the Dairy Sweet.

~Ashers favorite song right now is Big Green Tractor, by Jason Aldean. He wont sing it unless he is in character which is riding his green tractor with some sort of hat and boot ensemble and it is hilarious. I love my boy.

~Im trying not to swear. And its hard. I hit a concrete slab at the gas station with my car door the other day and from the backseat before I had a chance to say it I hear "damnit" A 3 year old shouldnt think of that when something goes wrong. I gotsta change.

~I miss my Grandma. A lot. She wont be around for much longer and I hate living so far apart. I will call her tomorrow.

Buenos noches amigos y amigas.

Until I become more educated|productive|motivated that is.... now where the hell is my soda....

pip squeaks 2.5 years ago {how I miss that delicious new home}

Present-They'll run that dora bike into the ground I tell you

One last bum shot :) *the outside of the garage gives you an idea of the kind of work that is in store for us....gulp. There are 8 levels of shingles on that puppy.*
Still no rings. But no use in crying over spilled milk (although I still cry). I'm pretty certain they are gone forever. Luckily...we had an insurance policy on our valuables. Money wont replace them, but it will sure ease the pain...I think.
