Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This year there is a lot to be thankful for. Our health, family, friends, and being happy:) It has been a wonderful year. Our family has had many new experiences one of which was when Dave took a job out of town. He was gone for a week and a day. However, I am so thankful that he now has a job at home (he is home every night). I love having the family together for dinner every night. I am thankful for my children they are the best kids in the whole world:) OK I know every mother says that. But really my children are trying very hard to help me out more. They are learning how to clean up after themselves:) What a great accomplishment. I am thankful that we live close to my family:) However, I really wish that we could live closer to Dave's family. I would love to get to know them a lot better. Maybe someday. Anyways, life here has been very busy we are trying to get ready for Christmas and making room for a tree in our living room (what a mess):0. Alright well it is really late so I must go for now. I will write more tomorrow. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

going crazy!!!!!

Alright, between trying to get the house cleaned up (which isn't going so smoothly) and my kids wanting everything from the kitchen sink to all the toys in the world. I am going a little crazy. So tonight I wanted to clean the house so that I could have it done before I had to go back to work tomorrow. Which let me tell you didn't get done. And I have no idea when it might get done seeings as how everytime I seem to get one room cleaned up. Katie my little mess maker seems to go behind me like a hurricane and distroy the room. I am tired of cleaning. Really I am. I believe my husband doesn't think I ever clean. Which I probably don't clean as much as I should but when it always gets messed up before I or anyone else can enjoy it, it is a little hard to convince myself that I am doing a good job. So I find myself these days just looking the other way at the mess. Ok enough of the complaining. My kids are off to bed and fighting as usual. DOES IT EVER STOP???????????? I guess with being sick this week I have lost all my cool with fighting and mess making. Maybe tomorrow might be a better day. I sure do hope so. since my house is really looking like a junk yard:) Anyway will try and post more tomorrow as far as tonight goes I need to go to bed before I loose all my marbles that I have left. :) Nite all

sorry it has been over a week since last post!

Well this last week was kinda crazy. On Saturday I went out hunting with my brother, while Dave stayed home with the children. I love that about him he is willing to take one day from his schedule and watch the children while I go out and do something. Anyway, when I got home I felt sick like I had a head ache. Well, the next day Sunday I was SO sick that yet another day Dave had to watch the children while I slept and tried to feel better. OK so on Monday I went to the doctor and found out I had strep throat again. So they are going to take my tonsils out. Yeah for me not really. But anyway this week has been crazy I feel like all my children want to do is fight and want money money money. Which is not cool in my book. I wish that they would just relax a little. Anyway will post a little more in a while here is a picture of Brady Dave's oldest son. ok well I guess it wont let me post picture right now so I will get it on here in awhile need to go finish dinner.

Ricky's big hunt:)

Ok so I know I am behind on my blog but let me tell you alittle of what has been going on. WORK:) Alright, so this afternoon Dave decided to go out hiking with Ricky to teach him how to be quite in the woods while you are hunting. So they went out and said for me to pick them up on the highway @5:30 pm. So Bailey, Katie, and I go to where we are suppose to pick them up at about 5:15 pm I wasn't exactly sure where we were suppose to be so I was driving up and down the highway looking for them and didn't see them. When we came back to where we were suppose to be so I thought we had just pulled in the turn out when Katie starts talking about this car that something is wrong with them and I should go check to see if they are ok. Well, this car that was right behind me before I pulled into the turn out pulled off the side of the road. We sat there for about I don't know 10-15 minutes before it started to get dark when I decided that maybe I was in the wrong place to pick Dave and Ricky up. It is now about 5:45 so I figures I will drive by the car that is parked along the road and now there is a police officer there (John). Ok, so we go to drive by and go to the other place they might have come out at when I look over to see....... Dave and Ricky walk along the road (no guns just looking for something it appears) Well to make a long story short Ricky had shot a buck up at the top of the mountain. The deer didn't want to make it easy on him or did he???? The deer ran down the hill to the highway where he decided that since he was going to die one way or another he will just jump out infront of a moving Ford explorer. So Ricky my mighty hunter shot his first buck and made a great story for me to tell to you all. His buck he gets to keep and the people that hit the deer aren't very happy (they think we should pay for thier car)(I don't think so). I am sorry that the deer hit thier car but you know what at least we didn't have to pack it out. LOL. Anyways here is the picture of Ricky's first deer 5x6 whitetail buck 11-07-08

Lazy day's of Fall:)

Today was kind of a lazy day for me I didn't do much around the house. However, I was talking with Dave the other day and I had mentioned that the wood was getting low outside. He told me that I could use his chain saw and saw some up if I felt like it as long as I checked the gas and oil in it so today with my laziness I decided I better cut some up before going to work tomorrow. I ran a chain saw for the first time in my life today YAHOOOOOOOO. Being so excited to tell Dave when he came home I was jumping up and down. When Ricky got to it before I did:( But he was excited for me. However, I ask myself should I have told him? Know I can't say we need wood I don't know how to run the saw LOL. Anyway, for more news Ricky had a friend over today, they watched MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL yeah :) I am beginning to think that our oldest son is growing up:( Katie went to girl scouts and had a lot of fun when I went to pick her up she was eating a brownie and drinking cool aid. She says "mom can I go to the after school program?" I ask "why? you said you didn't want to go to it anymore!" She replies "Well you see mom! They have good snakes there and I would like to eat some more" Lol. What a girl she think that I don't have good snakes at home. Well of course they aren't new choices. Bailey came home today all proud of himself. First you have to understand we have been struggling with him in school work. So he comes home and throws his papers at me yelling I have a C+ I have a C+. OK so I look at the first paper he gives me and it is his spelling test 101% I tell him Bay this is an A+ which he says I know I know I have a C+ though lol. OK so I look through the papers and he gets frustrated and shows me his math test which he is right a C+ 79%. I am so proud of that kid he is really trying. At the begging of school all the papers he was bringing home were F's which was hard to take because we knew he could do better but didn't want to punish him because he isn't the type of kids that when you punish him he does better. No he just gives up because he doesn't think he can do it. So incentive incentive, incentive is our mod ow. At the end of the year if he can get straight A's he will get his dad's monster truck it is nitro powered. Or he can have the littler monster truck if he gets good grades with nothing below a C. Anyways that was my day today. Type to you all tomorrow. Sorry I will pick up my camera tomorrow after work and post pictures then I promise

Had a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

Halloween was fun. We went out with a friend of mine and her children. It was a lot of fun. However my feet are still sore we walked the whole town. And received lots of candy oh my gosh the kids have been on a sugar high for the last two days. I can not wait till school tomorrow. Anyways I forgot my camera at my parents house so I will get it and post pictures tomorrow. Anyway, what else?? I am still on my mission to be a better parent, wife and person. I did finally get most of my house kind of clean. We has a friend over today which was fun. It was the same friend we went trick or treating with she has three kids 2 girls and a boy well the boy is her nephew but she always has him. The kids are all very close so it is fun when we are all together. Dave is doing good he is on his week on. Well, I am still in the proses of making my list of things to do but it is going good I think.

On a different note have you ever found a person that you do not particularly like but kind of have to because of some reason or another. Well for those of you who know me know I am an easy going person who is easy to get along with but I have found this person that it is so hard to get along with. The person has a personality of a flat board. I am not joking they don't know how to have a conversation with out it being turned around to be about them. Or by down grading my children and you know what makes me the most mad. This person should be a friend of mine or at least I wish we could be friends given the circumstances. I however feel like I have give them plenty of chances to be my friend and have stuck up for them more then once and for what for them to give me crap in front of a whole bunch of my friends about my children. What ever. Anyways, I wish I could help them be a little better at their social engagements. But you know what it is like talking to a brick wall. Oh well maybe someday they will not try so hard to be better then everyone else. For now I will just deal with it. That is my thoughts and for today I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great week to come.
