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 again being silly...in this picture she was almost in a panic because I was "helping" with the gas pedal and she thought we were going way too fast.  Shh...don't tell papa he gets his feathers a bit ruffled when they give it too much gas too often. 
He says the kids will have it wore out before summer is even over (he's probably right though if the truth be told)  But they love this getting to drive thing (every one of them) even if it is just a little yellow golf cart.        
It might as well be a fancy car to them.        


 

Papa told them they cant drive unless a grown up is on the golf cart with them. So I was the fun aunt for a bit this morning because no one else wanted to go out for a ride with them.
 I miss my parents more and more with each passing week and try to text and facebook them often to tell them that.  I wish every single day that they would move back home. 
But with this view I completely understand their reasons as to why they love being where they are. It really is a nice lake. I can not wait to visit them when the summer temps finally get here. We will be having a blast camping,cooking out, fishing, swimming, spending time with all the family and boating...all of my favorite things.
I got to spend a good amount of time with Stephens dad this past weekend too.  It is quite convenient that he happens to live just a few miles away from my parents.  His lady friend seems very nice and was excited about maybe getting to meet my girls.  Maybe she is what he needs to get him to spend more time with his only grand kids...who knows.  That is another story for another day.
I will be out of pocket so to speak for the next couple of weeks.  Stephen and I are getting to join some of my other family members on a cruise.(not as many as originally planned due to a broken down ship but we will make do and they will have a great time in a few months, I just know it.)
Anyway I will try to post before we head out and I will definitely post when we get back. 
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
As always, thanks for reading today.

  1. Hi! I enjoy reading another small town Oklahoma person's take on life. The lake photo looks like it might be Lake Eufaula. Very nice. Keep up the good work! A friend in Porum, OK.

18 already?

The reality of it really hasn't sank in yet I don't think, she still has one more year of school so that's probably why. My first born 18 years old.  Despite all the reminders of her age from my sweet girl, it truly does seem like only yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital when all the sudden here we are just over 2 weeks past her turning eighteen, where did all those years go? I would love to be able to sit here and recount every single detail with you from the very start but that might bore you to tears and well she might kill me of I did that.  Because I can remember lots of little moments that would embarrassed her to death like how she was so scared of everyone singing happy birthday on her first birthday that she hid under the table crying and didn't want to touch the cake we got her.  Or of her and her bff having cupcakes in their diapers that nanny brought by after Cathy's party at school when they were only one.  Or of her and t...

Midlife crisis? Nah, just having a little fun.

I guess that is what some people call it when a guy nearing (ever so close to) 40 goes out and buys himself a shiny new (or not so new) motorcycle.  However that thought never really crossed my mind when Stephen asked to buy one off a guy he works with.  I wasn't thrilled with the idea, not because I thought he was having a midlife crisis, but because I thought there were plenty of other things we could spend our money on.  I said no.  We always talk about big purchases and agree when or if we spend the money.  I was sure this thought was settled and we would not be the owners of a motorcycle anytime soon.  Stephen had other ideas... Stephens toy He made the decision to get the bike (it really was a good price, I guess) and well now we are that crazy old couple that rides around on a motorcycle every chance at nice weather we get. Here is a bit of history...My dad had a Honda gold wing when we were little (I was like 13)  he and my mom wou...

it's been a minute

yep, since I posted anyway.  This is just a short sweet post, to let you all know that I am still here...It has just been a little busy spending time with Stephen and the girls, taking a mini road trip with Steph and Rita to Texas (crazy story) and so much other stuff that I haven't made time to sit down and write anything.  I have a couple of things in the works though so don't give up on me.  Something about farm animals, another post about Chuck(s) and a few other things.  I haven't really made any time for quilting, bag making or anything crafty in a bit either so I gotta get on that (I miss it). Check back often to see that yes I am still alive and well, just busier than normal (and my normal is pretty busy) Have a great week ahead hope to write for you all soon.
