Get out and VOTE!

Ok your choice may not be the same as mine, but no matter what you choose you should take yourself out to the polling place and let your voice be heard.

Never really thought much about how my vote mattered in the grand scheme of things until 16 years ago when my uncle began his first race for Osage county commissioner.   Getting out all those weekends walking the hilly neighborhoods of Osage county some weekend hot as fire(July) and other weenends pretty cold(November of course) just to wait until voting day to see what the people decide (praying all your time did its job)
It has now been 16 years 4 terms and we are doing it all again. Tomorrow is voting day and we will be gathered with the rest of our family and friends supporting a great county commissioner (& uncle) holding our breath until the last vote has been cast and counted.  It has been pretty close in the past which is what taught me that no matter how insignificant I think my one single vote is it still counts.  

So with all this rambling if you take nothing else away please take this.

     Tomorrow November 6, 2012 GO VOTE!

Gather up your friends and neighbors carpool (heck go for ice cream after to celebrate your right to vote) but get out there and do your part.

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

My baby girl

 found this pic, not sure but I believe she was 3 April 12th (yes i know it is the 13th now)...This date in 1999 we welcomed into the world our sweet baby Britt.  She had a bit of a rough time in the first week, but wow look at her now.  She is 12.  Cant believe she is already almost a teen. (yuck)  We were so spoiled with Val that when Miss Britt came along she set our world on edge.  Thats right, she was quite a mess(not sleeping throught the night even to this day she sleep walks) But you wouldn't meet a sweeter, kinder girl.  She has the biggest heart.  Ive been thinking alot about her today with reason, it was after all her birthday.  She got to bring her horse to our pasture this week inlight of her day, so she didn't really seem to mind that I had to work and she had a softball game on her birthday.  As long as she gets to play with Ladybug alittle before the day is over.  She is now fast asleep in her bed(for now) most likley dreaming of her best friend(the hors

 My Vallie...gotta love those cheeks  It is hard for me to really pick just one thing to write about my girls, seems they are always up to something.  Cant believe today my first born turned 15.  I remember the day we brought her home from the hospital.  Stephen had seen Joe(he was on the fire dept. with stephen) at the store on the way home and stopped to show off his pretty baby girl.  I still didn't know him well, but he and Jackie came to the truck and ooo'd and ahhh'd over my sweet baby. then out of the blue, Jackie pulled her little foot out and said "Well look at that Joe, she has your toes!" (because they were very long little toes) they all laughed, I was slightly embarrassed but that comment has made it all these years as our little joke.  Now every time we see either Joe or Jackie, they ask how their girl is doing and if she still has Joes toes.  Seems just like yesterday she was that tiny little girl with all that hair. (her hair was the firs
