Road Trip!!

Freckels & his people family went to Arkansas to see his cousins!!

Rudy, Freckles, & Otis chased each other & played until they collapsed on the couch!!
What a life!! Eat, Drink & be Lazy!!
Don't worry! The dishwasher sterilizes the dishes.

Freckels learned a new trick!

Just kidding!!

He got scolded after I took this picture!!

John helped his brother Steve build a pond. I think that it really turned out great!! I enjoyed just spending time with my sister in-law Lisa & neices!!

I'd say that our Spring Break was a success!!

SPRING BREAK!!

Yippy Skippy!!

The days are getting longer!!
The trees are starting to bud!!
Our pansies are are loving the beautiful Spring weather!!
Gotta love Spring Break!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

I love the color green!!

So, I look forward to St. Patrick's Day!!

Well, any excuse to celebrate works for me!!

When my boys were little I decorated for every holiday. Big or little, I was ready to spread some holiday cheer!! I just had to picked up some green stuff!! The only green the boys care anything about is the kind that is made out of paper, has a picture of a president, & has numbers on it!! I miss the days when they got excited about bubbles, silly putty, & sidewalk chalk!!
Give someone you love a little pinch & a big hug!!

Bathroom Update!!

This is a picture of our hall bathroom!

Those cute little blue flowers had to go!! The plaid shower curtain was a great idea 5 years ago!! Isn't it funny how our tastes change over time!
We found this textured paper that you put right on top of the old wallpaper.

Why do home improvment projects sound so simple until you get into the big middle of it!! Once you get started there is no turnig back!!

Here is the finished product!!

One project done & oh so many to go!!

Happy 18th Birthday Nathan!!

He had a few friends over for a quick lunch!!
Nate is a Sooner fan, but is planning to attend OSU next year.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Valentines Day is a great excuse to fix something "girly" for my sweet friends!
It's late & I'm gonna be dragging in the morning!

But, it has been almost 10 days since I posted last.

Life is just too busy!!

Most days I put more on my "To Do" list than I could ever get done;

which tends to make me feel a little defeated at the end of the day:(

Anyway, I decided to do something Fun & Valentiney!!

XOXOXOXOXO

Super Bowl Fun!!

Football + Friends + Food = FUN!!

Neither of my favorite football teams made it to the Super Bowl, but I enjoyed watching it anyway!!
YUMMY SNACKS!!
Paul couldn't wait to sample the dip!!

Diet Coke Break!!

I'm not a coffee drinker.

I love the smell & have tried adding all of the extra stuff!!

No coffee breaks for me!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is nothing better than a large Sonic Diet Coke with a touch of vanilla & extra ice!! Yummy!!

Diet Coke break for me please!!

Too Much Snail Mail!!

I kinda have snail mail issues!!

I don't check it until I have time to sort it!!

Which is usually once a week!!

My mailbox gets pretty full before I check it!!

I'm sure that my mail man doesn't like me!!

This is my pile of JUNK MAIL!!

The only thing that I get excited about is my magazines & coupons!!

The majority of my mail is JUNK & BILLS!!

This is my stack of KEEPER MAIL!!

This is yesterdays mail.

What the heck I'll go ahead & sort it now!!

Home Away From Home!!

I thought that I'd share a few pictures of my home away from home!!

I spend a big part of the day in my office, so I try to make it feel a bit like home!!
I work with some really neat girls!!

I want people to feel welcome when they come into my office!!

I hope you enjoy your home away from home!!
