Good Ol Days Weekend





Visited Family-my brother taking Brian for a ride on the Harley.



Went to Good Ol Days festival and watched the parade. These are the official Clydesdale's horses for Budweiser. They are beautiful creatures.


Speaking of beautiful creatures...here's Allen next to horse's head. Or it the other way around?


Kids in front of a Clydesdale. Notice how my kids and Allen all have matching shirts. I love it, how fun. Allen...he's a good sport and puts up with it.

Rode some rides in the kids carnival.

The kids all got wrist bands so they could ride all day.

This is my nephew Denton. I love his shirt! This is after he rode 1 ride too many and threw up. I promise after I took the picture I cleaned him up and got him a drink.

This is Brian's head at the bottom. Notice Bra Top girl in the background.

BBQ with good friends. This is Allison and her hubby. We went to high school together and got each other in lots of trouble. Her sister is the gal I got in a fist fight with in the parking lot. Good times.

left-right: Daniel (belongs to Taira) funny guy with a contagious laugh, Jennifer-she has 7 kiddos and homeschools-ugh, she makes me look bad. Teresa - the most tenacious woman I've ever met, Taira - One of those gems, she is so funny and bubbly. And one of our classmates that wasn't there that we talked about:
Alex McCord from The Real Housewives of New York City. If I can get our new scanner hooked up I'll post our high school picture.

I also got to see a dear friend for a brief time that was cut short from having to spend time looking for Brian as he got lost. It was a little unnerving- ok after about 10 minutes I thought I was going to pass out I was so scared.

I loved all the pics you posted (sorry it's taken me SO LONG to comment, my life is sort of busy these days)

I especially loved the first. We love riding motorcycle, all of us even my 3 yr old who is only allowed to ride from the driveway into the garage- It reminded me of the "good ol' days" when I used to ride with my hubby :)

Devotion for Baby Shower

I am so sad to miss out on this opportunity to get to celebrate LeAnne and the gift of this baby boy. I was asked to share a devotional and while honored, I also know my wisdom and experience pales in comparison to many ladies that are in LeAnne's life. Especially the example of her mom Judy. I am so thankful for their close relationship and friendship and the instruction that her parents and Josh's parents give to them to seek after the Lord. The is no greater accomplishment. My own parenting has been a constant learning process and with each new child I realize how little I only thought I knew. I pray for less of me and my weaknesses so that HE can fill and lead our family. Devotional: Live Fully in the moment. While it is easy to love a sleeping, snuggling, cooing baby. Kisses on warm fuzzy heads & velvet skin. Chubby little fingers, toes and thighs. That breathtaking love so deep that our hearts hurt as they sigh and find utter fulfillment resting on our chests. ...

Highway Horror

We were on our way back to college after a fun weekend trip to a friends home. The windows were down to allow at least the breeze in since it was scorching hot outside and this car had no air-conditioning, in fact, we were lucky it ran at all. And with the windows down, we actually had a nice cross breeze with the holes in the floor board.We were singing to whatever song we could find on the stations in the middle of Kansas on some little mostly unknown highway. It was the quickest route between Manhattan and Wichita. There are many things in life to fear and many things to fear in the flat lands . I had been in Wichita on two separate occasions when there were tornadoes , but this threat was even worse. On a long stretch of quiet highway we enjoyed the beautiful sights of the pastures and sky. There were several tractors working in the fields and mowing in the ditches. Up ahead of us, there was something covering the entire road for as far as we could see. As we neared, it lo...

Just Silly Random Sayings

In my earlier days when I worked at a night club, I had a pin on advertising " Tequilla Rose" liquor. Some guy says, " Tequilla Rose. I like your name." I decided right then that if I ever ended up needing a porn star name (let's pray not) that this will be my name. While eating outside at Braums in the picnic area. I glanced over to see Gabby was on top of the table dancing like some girl on Soul Train...when did she see that?! and Makensie was taking pictures with her camera. Let's pray also that none of my children ever need a tag name. Conversation with Gabby over last set of shots: her: Why do I have to have them? me: to keep you from getting really sick and die or end up paralyzed. her: What is paralyzed? Me: when you can’t walk ever again and have to be in a wheel chair. her: (silent thinking) me: (silent pat on the back for the ultimate scare method approach) her: ok , but will you push me in the wheel chair? Brian didn't want to eat supper ...
