Throwback Thursday!

Yes you read that right. I am writing another throwback thursday. I was reminded how much I miss writing. I got a text today and all it said was "I miss throwback thursday" my reply was I miss blogging and that I would see what I could come up with. So here it is. I hope it meets expectations and puts a smile on your face.
I chose this photo because it is getting close to my Valories 17th birthday and well look at how much that dark haired chubby cheek baby girl has changed. And the sweet little red headed cutie means just as much to me as my own girls (I can't believe she is already 20, man I'm getting old).
This was shortly after Val was born and since day one has been pretty much spoiled by Miss Nikki.
Its hard to believe this was taken 17 years ago heck it seems like just yesterday when Nanny brought Nikki home from the hospital. She was so sweet, another little sister that I never had (Cathy Jo was the other) I had spent so much time with Nanny and Mikey growing up that it seemed like second nature to feel like their daughters were my sisters. The feelings just seem to trickle down because they treat my girls like sisters and Kashly looks up to my Britt like any little sister would.
I love having a great circle of aunts and cousins for my girls (& I) to look up to.
I've heard it said that "it takes a village to raise a child" and if you know my family you know that we have a pretty good "village" of people for helping us out one way or another.

I know this was a short one, but its past bed time and it took me forever this evening to find a photo good enough to be called a throwback.

I love hearing from you all so comment, email, call or text anytime the mood strikes. I have a few good stories I need to get on this blog so keep checking back for a good laugh (or maybe even a tear or two)

I love you all!
Thanks for reading.

A good time

Yep anytime you get to spend the weekend at the lake is a good time. My girls and I drove over to mom and dads place on the lake this past weekend (Stephen met us there on Saturday) I wanted to see them as it has been several weeks since the last time I had seen them. Just wanted to share a few of the silly moments. ~~~~> This is one of the little girls (forgive me Janae, I still can't tell them apart unless I'm looking directly at their faces. I'm sorry. I love them like crazy just can't tell them apart very well) <~~~~This is my girls making our purchase at the Dairy Deal. This is a MUST when making the drive to Salina for any reason. I have never had the food there but the ice cream products they offer are out of this world (unless you are a dork like Britt and order dippin' dots...those are just weird) Be careful when ordering a large...they are way too large (especially if you on a diet. :) ~~~~> Here we are agai

Happy New Year! !

I can not believe how quickly the years pass now that I am inching ever so close to 40. Some people say "wow I dont know where the year went" but crazy as it sounds I do know. It really seems like yesterday Stephen and I were hanging out with some friends waiting to ring in 2013. And here it is January 1, 2014. It flat flew by. At first thought I could think I don't know what happened to the time. But given a few minutes to ponder it all I remember well what all happened (Stephen always gives me 9 kinds of crap about posting on Facebook or instagram but when looking back they help me remember all the fun we had). We did some pretty great things in 2013. We got to travel out of the country for the first time (to 3 different countries), made some new friends, sadly lost touch with some dear friends & got back in touch with some old ones. Val got her drivers license and Britt started her first year of high school. We had some pretty great adventures and spe

Wonderful waste of time

I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad. I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work). And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom. Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such. She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself. So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along. That girl made her whole hat. She loves it and wears it everywhere already. Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats. They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company. I mentioned to Val that maybe they could make some
