Our Troops





The sacrifice these men make for our country is something that is totally unimaginable in my mind. These men know that they may not make it home, but they love our country so much that they will put their lives on the line to allow us to keep our freedom. I have posted a few pictures here of my first cousin who is in the military police battalion over in Iraq right now, protecting us from our seen and not so unseen enemies. In my mind these men and women are the hero's of our country. Let's remember them in our prayers that God will protect them and reward them for their ultimate sacrifice.


I Love You Boo, Stay safe.

You are my Sunshine

Just Thinking
Finding a Treasure.
My Little Sunshine
Cheese!!!

Annie is my little sunshine. She can be so sweet. She lights up my day and terrorizes
my night. LOL

first post

well, o-kay. This is my very first post. If it reads a little first graderish just bear with me I am new to this. I have been wanting to do this blogging thingy for a while and I just haven't made myself sit down and just start on it. I do have to admit that I have a wonderful friend that has been slightly prodding me for the past 3 or so months to try this.(you know who you are...Denna)LOL. She loves blogging and reading her blogs really has made me want to try this out. I'm kinda liking it already. I feel like I am talking to friends. What fun! Whew! let me tell you, after listening to wonderful little rugrats all day, this is nice. Now to tell you a little about myself, I am a wife, mother to 4 children, referee, waitress, kisser of booboos, chauffer, maid service, helper of homework, bed tucker-in-er, and family physcologist pretty much 7 days a week. Do I like my job, you may ask? Not only do I like my job, I love my job. God has given me my hearts desire in allowing me to love, and raise 4 precious children to hopefully be good citizens and hopefully saved, happy individuals with precious families of their own and sweet little grandchildren for me and my husband.

Oh, yeah, my husband, I did mention a husband didn't I ?LOL My husband is my friend and such a hard worker. I am so thankful that God allowed me to have a husband that is not lazy. He is a crazy goofy man that loveeees to tease people and cut up a little too much, I might add.
He is good father that loves his children very much. I love him very much. We are in this crazy, family raising thing together. We wanted 6 kids, but after 2 decided 4 would be plenty, thank you very much. Do we have our hands full, you may ask?(lots of people tell me this in town), yes we do, but there is absolutely nothing I would rather be doing.(except sleeping the day away with the covers over my head)lol, those days will be back again someday and I plan to enjoy every age of my childrens lives.I may think my house does not look like I might always wish but are we really going to remeber the messy house years down the road or the wonderful times that we spent together as a family? They are going to grow up and leave the nest someday and I would much rather remember the special times together . I think I need a tissue.

Well I think we are pretty much on a first name basis now, so I'll tell you a few more things about me, then I'll sign off. I love going to church, my relationship with God is my life, I love him sooo much, he has been so good to me. I am thankful to be able to raise my kids to know all about him and his word. I love to read, just give me a good, fat book and let me tell you I'm in heaven. I love to sing, singing to myself comforts me. Now it might make you feel like covering your ears or running for cover as fast as you can, but, yeah, it comforts me. I have a twin brother that probably hates my singing. I probably sung us to sleep a few times too many as babies seeing as we probably shared a bed a few times. We look like Mutt and Jeff beside each other. He's a hulking dude and I'm a short gal. Hardly anybody thinks we look much alike. I have a sister 13 months younger. I have 2 nephews and 3 neices, and let me tell you they each own a piece of my heart(I love them so much). I love chocolate and pan pizza. I do love fruits and veges. too , but truthfully, I just love food period. Sometimes this is not a good thing. Oh and Chinese food (my stomach is fixing to growl). I love to make people smile and I love to help others. If I could ever be remembered for anything it would be for everybody to know that I loved them. I like to sew when I have time and make neat crafty things. Someday i'd like to go into the craft making business. Well enough is enough. I've talked about myself enough that maybe y0u feel like you know me a little bit. My blogs from now on will consist of the days of sunshine that pops up over the horizon. Maybe some juicy tidbits of info that I learn daily about all sorts of things. I learn something new everyday. I will try to share little bits of happenings in my life and always love hearing all you guys blogger stories out there. Signing off till next post.......
