Football Camp

Cole will be starting football camp the end of this week. He will be in 8th grade this year and more will be expected of him now that this is his second year playing ball for the school. He hasn't done much for conditioning this summer so I have a feeling he will be one sore kid come Friday afternoon. They had a great year last year losing only one game. I sure hope they do just as well or better.

Gracie Jayne

Gracie Jayne is my brothers little girl. She is 2 1/2 years old and was born with Downs Syndrome. She has had a very hard battle to fight in her short little life. She weighed just over three pounds when she was born and at five months old had open heart surgery due to a hole in her heart. She is sure the little fighter and will be one independent individual as she continues to grow and learn new things everyday. I am really excited to see the person she will become.

As Snug As A Bug



The saying as snug as a bug in a rug doesn't hold more true than when I look at these pictures of Becca. It puts a smile on my face to see her all snuggled up in bed. To look at these pictures again, I still don't know how she got herself so wrapped up in those blankets. I thought for sure when she finally came out of her cocoon that she was going to have butterfly wings on her back.

Pay It Forward

I have never seen the whole movie Pay It Forward, but from what I have seen it has a very good message. That message is, if you do something nice for someone don't ask for anything in return, just ask them pay it forward. Today this saying spoke volumes to me and someday when the time is right I too will pay it forward. Thanks.

Medical Supplies

Diabetes is a medical condition that runs in my family. My grandpa and mom have had this disease for many years now. With my last two pregnancies I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, which means the chance of having type II diabetes is probably inevitable for me. Having the knowledge I do about diabetes I am relieved there are place to purchase diabetic supplies such as test stripes and syringes online from the convenience of home. Allegro Medical has had over one million customers and is one of the largest independently owed online retailers in the United States. They first launched their online store in 1998 selling all types of medical equipment. They have now expanded to include over 55,000 products such as exercise equipment, dietary supplements, outdoor gear, and baby supplies just to name a few of the products they have to offer.

Hudson and Logan



Hudson and Logan are spending the next couple of days with Grandma Kat. It's the time of year when my sister Trisha and her husband Mike take their annual vacation up north for some relaxation and leave the boys with grandma. Becca goes over to help grandma with Hudson and Logan as they can sometimes be a handful. Grandma Kat's quote of the day is "don't babies sleep anymore?" Logan is about 2 1/2 months old and is only taking short little cat naps during the day. Grandma just shakes her head and tells me "when you kids were young you ate, played, and slept for LONG periods of time. Don't babies do that anymore?" she asks me. I just smiled knowing how time clouds our memories. I know she is enjoying her time with them and is looking forward to next years visit.

Sleeping Baby

I really love to watch Dru as she sleeps. There is really nothing more calming than watching her while she is asleep in my arms. It is just so peaceful. I just look at her and I am mesmerized but what god has created for our family. The perfect little girl who just fits right in. I love to watch the adorable faces she makes, especially when she smiles, and the noises Dru makes always puts a smile on my face.

Computer Problems

Tonight I was trying to spice up my new blog by adding pictures of my family to it, but for some reason I was unable to upload pictures due to some kind of internal error. I am not one that has to much computer knowledge and when things don't go my way it can get very frustrating. I like things to work perfect all the time with no complications . Only in a perfect world and I guess we don't live in one. I did talk to someone about the problem I was having and they thought it might have to do with my internet connection. Lets hope that's all it is and they are able to fix it when I call them tomorrow. I sure would like to be able to upload some more picture into my blog.

Losing Teeth

My daughter Becca recently went to visit her dentist for her six month check-up. She is eight years old and was told by her hygienist that she would be losing a lot of teeth real soon. Tonight at supper she lost one of those teeth. It was kinda funny in that all she really wanted to eat was a salad, which was okay because who wants to eat when it is this hot outside. Anyway the rest of us were having a pork chop cooked on the grill which went perfect with our salads. Eventually Becca decides she would like one too just so she could nibble on the bone like the rest of us (we all like to do this cuz it has the best flavor). Well, you can about imagine what happened next, to no one's surprise she starts to cry because her tooth hurts. She obviously bit down on the wrong tooth and oop's it became really loose and dad needed to take it out. Of course it always hurts worse then it actually does but the bigger the scene the bigger the money, or so she thinks. It did bleed an awful lot but it didn't take long to stop. Guess I better let the tooth fairy know she needs to make a stop at our house tonight or I will have one disappointed little girl.

Midwest Auto Recycling

There is nothing more frustrating to me than when my vehicle has a problem. Just last month my husband had problems with this truck that required it being in the shop for a few days. Thank goodness we were able to borrow another truck from his dad or we would have had a long couple of days trying to get from one place to another. It is also maddening when the bill is handed over to you, not only are parts expensive but so is the labor. Using midwest auto recycling, who specializes in used engines and transmissions is one place to go to save money on your next auto repair. Knowing your engine miles are all CARFAX verified is also a positive when buying parts from them. You can be sure that all engines are inspected for compression, checked for oil, cleaned, and all transmissions are test driven so that you will be satisfied with the parts you purchase. So the next time you are in need of fixing your vehicles, just visit their website and see what they have to offer you.
