The beginning

Here is the first page.  I keep trying to work on it every chance I get. Busy busy right now.

Its ridiculous

Its simply ridiculous that people are just so immature. Tired of the drama of who I can and can not talk too.  Lets grow up now. So real simple... I just won't say a word to anyone.

Crochet

Wow what a beautiful morning! Its roughly 54 degrees outside. I love this weather. Got one of my hoodies on ready to get this day going. Took tomorrow off to do some scrapping : ) BUT the kids are out of school so we will see what I get done.

Started to learn chrocheting thanks to my dear friends at work, Leslie and Janet. So this picture is the beginning of my practicing. : ) Heck yea! 

Kids are doing good. Blaike is still working. Levi and Cora are both doing great. Noah is doing wonderful. He gets to play in his first football game Monday.  

Noah

Seeing this picture makes me so proud of the man that my son, Noah is becoming.  OMG there are lots of emotions that go along with this picture.  WOW he is such a good lookin' boy. : )
Noah decided last week that he wanted to join the football team.  So now we are in full swing football.

A few month's it will be wrestling, then baseball.

LOTS go on at our house right now.  Got class rings ordered for Cora and Levi. 

Waiting...

Sitting at the hospital waiting room right now. Shannon, Shanne and OK dad are back with OK mom. Its such a sad deal. I just started planning Coras 16th birthday party and it doesn't look like mom is going to be there. I thank God that she got to be part of the adoption of Cora though. Ok mom is one of the most amazing women I know. Always having a positive attitude and seeing the best of things.  She is so beautiful. She is a wonderful Granmama to my kids. I am so proud to call her my mom. <3

Rock Bottom

When you hit rock bottom the only way is up right? I am not sure if I have hit it yet or not but feel pretty close. (I think) So much has happened the past 24 hours. I have pissed a few people off, had to depend on my mother alot and held back ALOT of tears. The only thing holding me together right now are my kids.

We are heading to Oklahoma right now for my OK mom. She is in the hospital right now. The doctors say it isn't looking good, but I know God can heal. : )

Long time

I know I am getting bad at blogging again. Sorry everyone. : ) But I am sitting at COLBY'S GRADUATION.  Yet again another one of the hard things in life to do. My ex close friend in the same room and she is on my side of the place and I am on the other. Lovely... Sorry for being short and sweet but on here I am not to worried about people reading and talking about what I say. LOL ok singing done better pay attention. : )

Pie

This is the card that I started making at 8pm last night.  Its a throw me together card. LOL! Made 13 of them and I think they turned out pretty darn cute! : )











                             This is a Peanut butter pie that Cora and I made for Shannon's birthday.  He is 45 today. Happy Birthday to my dear husband!  Made him a pie instead of a cake cause every year his boss as a cake made for him so peanut butter is Shannon's weakness!

Bloomed

I was shocked when I got up this morning and a few of my flowers bloomed. Its the little things in life that bring joy and the little things that hurt. The quality of the picture isn't that great cause the sun is still coming up but they are beautiful!

Headed to work, no fear I am not driving I am riding, but there's a farm we pass and it has SO MANY calves! They are so cute and adorable another little thing that makes me smile.

I check my inbox and heres the scripture that I got how perfect for today. : )

Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.


~ Proverbs 3:13, NLT

Beautiful

On Easter I got a text message with this beautiful picture. Shawna (28 weeks pregnant this week) & Adalyn (who is 15 months old) Love them! Then yesterday I got a picture in the mail... And its baby girl Adalyn with the Easter bunny. Omg poor Grammy's girl. She is so sweet even when she is upset.

Rain rain rain

Riding in the car with my dad headed to work and its raining.  How I LOVE the rain! It could rain all the time and I would be happy. Maybe I should move to Portland.  I know my son Noah would be so tickled, he is always asking me to take him there.

I was checking on the plants that Cora and I planted this morning.  Thought I'd take a quick picture of them of course I wasn't going to step outside for the picture cause it was lightening out. : ) The blurry spots are rain drops on the window. <3




Here's the Easter card that my good friend Leslie made---->   Isn't it gorgeous??!!  She is so talented!  We need to open a scrap store together.  : ) (Hint Hint)

<----- Here's the card I made for Easter.  I think it turned out pretty cute. : )  Alright enough blogging, I better get going on my real job now.

He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.



~ Matthew 28:6, NLT

O my...

I know its Easter and I shouldn't complain but I feel like a maid service. I feel like "some people" take me for granite. From Friday to right now I do believe somebody as played a video game for at least 24 hours if not more!!!

I, of course, am a gift giver so everyone got an Easter gift in my house. Did I forget to say that I LOVE to get gifts too.  Well no gift for me. You would think I would just get use to it.  O well I really shouldn't complain that's not what today is about.

Cora and I did plant some tomato plants, cucumber plants, jalopenos and carrots. Hopefully something will grow. : ) Alright I am off to bed.

Monday

Well saw Sucker Punch again this time with my mother, Cora and Tj (Coras boyfriend) Again I loved it.

Friday saw Blaike and Colby showed up : ) had a great visit. Tried to give them some space with Shannon. Thought it would be good for them. Shannons friend Tommy came up for a visit, had a nice visit with him. We talked about one of my favorite things... God :)

Nothing to exciting about the weekend.  Found a 65 Mustang OMG I want it. : )

No sleep for me

No idea what my problem is, well I do but I will not talk about it yet... Anyway so I am listening to some music and blogging. : ) Alittle ELO. Colby and Blaike will be here tomorrow and one of Shannons friends from OK is up here in Ks. I think its alittle weird but what do I know.

Do u ever wonder if u have made all the right decisions in life? I know there is no changing the past and its probably best not to even think about it. Wheres my time machine?!?! Lol... Do u ever wonder if when someone says they love you if they really mean it? Maybe they are feeling guilty? So, many thoughts tonight. I am going with that they are feeling guilty.

Got more papers from the lawyer today and had to fill out some info about myself and when Jo was born. I am so ready for the adoption stuff to be over with. Thats stressing me out alittle. I thought I was going to have a panic attack when I was filling the paperwork outt today. Omg just what I need. Alright I am going to try to go to bed again. Night world : ) 

Look what I found

Got up and was making my coffee and I found this picture. I couldn't help but take a picture of it. I was sicker then a dog the day Shannon and I got married. Can u tell by how pale I look? Wow!  Its hard to believe that Shannon and I got married that day.  In the beginning neither of us really that we would make it 9 years.  Theres been some rough times in those nine years let me tell ya, but its had its good moments also. : ) 

 <----- Of course in this picture u see my wonderful husband, Shannon and my wonderful in laws Terry and Sue better known has dad and mom Ok. Ok stands for Oklahoma : ) I will have to find a picture of all the kids with us on that day.

So we went to see Sucker Punch at the Imax... It was so good. It was alot better then I thought it would be. That will be one that I buy on dvd. Put a new storm door in, Shannon says that Noah or I broke it when we were weed eating. I don't think we did, I will take the blame.  My plan is to break more stuff so I can get new stuff out of it. : ) Lets see what I can break next.... Maybe the couch. : o  Just kidding, but its a good idea. ; )

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.


~ Proverbs 2:7, NLT

Noah

Last Wednesday was my youngest son turned 13years old.  We didn't do much on his birthday cause my mother and I took Friday off and took him shopping.  He, of course, got games and the new Xbox 360.  Hard to believe he is 13 wow, seems like yesterday he was running around my grandparents backyard with his cute bowl haircut picking up Easter eggs. I am going to find that picture and post it on here. : )

Worked on getting the scrap room together last night.  Can't wait to get my new table for it.  Its going to be so nice to have lots of room!  I would like to get one of those OttLites so then I have good lighting.  I am hearing WONDERFUL things about them.  I will have to see about finding one soon or I could get my husband to put better lighting in.

St pattys

This is the card I made for St Patricks day.  I know its alittle late on the upload but I finally got the picture on here.

Yesterday we finally got the papers to sign for the adoption.  : ) All we have to do is get the ones for my parents and Cora notarized and wait alittle over 30 days, I am so excited!  I hope the 30 days goes by fast!  I don't know who is more excited Cora or myself. 

It amazes me how God can turn something that looks like there is know hope into something so wonderful, cause He is the one that is making this happen. : D



For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time - to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.


~ 2 Timothy 1:9, NLT

Bad...

I am getting BAD at blogging again. Oops I have been busy though. Cora and I painted the basement floor. So now we just need to get my scrap stuff back in order. I should have a new table for my area hopefully Thursday. Got some baby books and Easter cards to work on. 

Went to the movies Saturday with Shannon Cora and Noah, saw Red Riding Hood, was pretty good. The wolf wasn't who we thought. The plan is to go see Sucker Punch at the Imax Saturday. : )

Time is flying

Wrote all this Thursday forgot to post. LOL

Wow it doesn't seem like its Thursday already. This week has been busy so far, on our last week of wrestling for Noah. : ( He wrestled Tuesday and got pinned once and got a bye on the 2nd. Saturday is the big tournament. : )

Cora is trying a new way of eating starting yesterday. More protein less carbs. Goal is to stay under 20 grams. Go Cora!

Waiting...

Its midnight and i am sitting outside a bowling alley while my 2 kids are inside bowling and Shannon is asleep in the driver seat snoring. Lol!  So Colby called me and asked me to do his senior pictures : ) I am super excited and honored that he would ask me. I did Tarrances and I think they turned out really good.   How exciting?!?! I sure miss Colby. He also let me know that he is praying for Cora and I right now. Cora and I are dealing with alot. Hopefully that will change soon. Trying to get my mother to let Shannon and I to adopt Cora back. Cora has always lived with me. She hasn't ever been away from me except for when she went on vacation with my parents. O well I won't  give up until my name is on Coras birth certificate again. : )

I need spell check on this blog thing on my phone. : )
