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.

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. ...

A new year

Ugh! I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :) I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year. 2012 Wow. I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car. but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...

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)...
