WHAT??? I actually got something finished??

Life has been getting in the way entirely too much lately. I keep thinking I will make time for making some of the many things I love but it just has not been happening...I finally got busy and finished up this cute little snuggle sac and matching hat for a young woman who means a lot to me. She is due to have a sweet little angel soon!!

Shouting Out To The World!!

My little sister is getting older, wiser and more beautiful than EVER!!

I Love you Kari!

Today is a day that I'm sure is filled with every emotion under the sun for my sweet sister.

Not only is it her birthday today, she truly is starting on a new life path. Her divorce is final today. I think it's fitting for it to happen this way...sort of like a re-birth of sorts.  

She recently separated from her husband of 20 years. Although it has been a long time coming, they have been through a lot together, have raised 4 wonderful children and are brand new grandparents. They have switched gears and are working on a great friendship now.

I know it's going to be difficult at times and I wish I could make things easier for both of them.

I want to send Love and Light and special birthday wishes to my baby sister and also some Love and Light to my brother! I love you both with all my heart!!

 

TOTALLY OVERWHELMED

Welcome to my whiny little pity party.....LOL...Have you ever felt like you were stuck in the mud and the more you do trying to get out the more you sink?

YEP!!

That's where I'm at right about now. I'm trying so hard to plant the smile on my face and just keep on going but some days it's just a little to much for me. I feel like I'm being pulled in every direction possible and will soon be torn completely apart.

In an earlier post I said we had to move...we weren't given much notice, so we had to pretty much jump on the first thing we found. It's not a horrible house and actually I think it could be really cute but the yard needs some serious help. Next year it will hopefully be looking good and we can all pray for snow to cover it up for now.....lol...I just HATE moving more than anything in the entire world!! We will be getting a U-Haul and hopefully we'll be able to do it in one load...ANYWAY, on top of the NO notice move, we have all our girls home with us for awhile and our 2 three year old grandsons underfoot. I forgot how hard it is to get things ready for a move with little monsters err angels running around. I truly do love having them all with me but.....It just pushes the stress level up a notch or two. I know I will survive it but there have already been a few breakdowns and I'm sure there are more to come!!  UGHHHHHH...did I mention I FREAKIN' HATE MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had to share

The Birthday Boy at Texas Roadhouse....LOL Great food with all his girlies.....AND....He got to sit on the Birthday saddle...Just look how excited he was about that!!

It was topped off with a call from his sweet momma...She ALWAYS sings...I think if a birthday passed by without that sweet song it just wouldn't be complete!! 

Today is a SPECIAL day!!

Today is a special day, it's the day God sent my perfect match to start his life's journey!!

I feel so lucky to have found him and been able to spend the past 28 of his 54 birthdays with him!

I just have to say...

HaPpY BiRtHDaY BaRNeY

The best husband a girl could ask for!!

Thanks for always being the one that can make me laugh through the tears and feel loved like I never dreamed possible!

I hope you know just how much you mean to me. I can't imagine my life without you in it!!

Happy Birthday Sweetums

I LOVE YOU!!

Waiting...

I told you that we were going to have paranormal investigators come last Friday. Well, they did come and there was a little sumpin happening that we all witnessed. I feel a little silly about all of this but at the same time I'm a little on edge waiting for them to finish reviewing all the video and recordings.

The one thing we observed was in our livingroom. They placed flashlights across the room for us and asked if anything was there with us if they would turn the flashlight on. it took a couple of minutes but the light slowly came on then off. This happened a few times and I must say it totally creeped me out.

We got an email the other day from the team that came out to our house saying they were almost done going through everything and that they already had several things to share with us when they finish up. I will share what they find once we have met with them.

All of this does make it a little easier to deal with the fact that we have to move. YEP....AGAIN!!! I hate moving more than just about anything. We thought we had found someplace we would be happy for quite some time...then...UGHH the unthinkable happened. We were told Saturday September 10th that our landlords daughter had to be out of her house by October 1st and they told her she could just move into this house. We need to be moved by then.....OMH!!! that's not much notice and I'm pretty upset that we have to rush....but....What ya gonna do? We have been looking and looking and still don't have a place yet. Wish us luck.....On the up side, we won't be living in an old haunted farm house much longer....LOL

Have a terrific weekend!!

Time to remember

Once again, that fateful day has come around. That historical day that changed the world forever!

 It was a day the Nation went into mourning and came together to support each other through the devastation and horrific tragedy. People all over this wonderful nation were stunned, crying and huddled together. Our leaders were speechless, yet made promises of revenge.  

 This day will not soon be forgotten. It happened a decade ago yet the hurt and anger triggered by this attack lives on. The images of that fateful day  are etched in our minds and in our souls.

Do you remember the headlines?

 Do you remember where you were when our country was attacked? I can still remember like it was yesterday...I still get the same knot in my stomach and the sick and surreal feeling in my heart when I think about it. It's hard to believe 10 years have passed.

God Bless America!!

Tonight is the night!

We will be having a paranormal investigation team at my house tonight. I have been chuckling about it all week and trying to look at it as some entertainment for the evening....BUT....now that the day is here and I know it's going to happen I'm a little bit nervous. I'm hoping that they debunk every oddity that has been going on but if they don't, then what? They don't get rid of them for you so why are we doing this? Hmmmmm....I just don't know if I really want the answers, right now I am still able to set the strange happenings aside and NOT think about them. There has not been anything that seemed "bad" until last week when something truly terrified Dylan.

Check back for the results.

On a lighter note

 It's Peach Days here in our little hometown this weekend.

Among the many assets of Brigham City is the history and heritage that exists. Peach Days started in 1904 as a day-off from the harvest and time to celebrate “an abundance of the best peaches in Utah”, this city-wide event is the longest continually celebrated harvest festival in Utah, and is reported to be the second oldest in the country. Peach Days is an honored tradition that brings people into our community from all over for a fun-filled weekend every year.

I'm looking forward to taking my sweet grandsons to the carnival for some fun tomorrow and my mouth is already watering for some YUMMY peach cobbler! Hope to see you all there!!

2011 PEACH DAYS CELEBRATION

 

Hope everyone has a fantabulous weekend!

Things that go bump in the night!

I feel the need to share this with the few people that read my blog. We moved into an old farmhouse last February and almost immediately my girls started getting an uneasy feeling. Things have been getting more and more strange as time goes by and the past month has been full of scary sleepless nights for them. I don't get afraid like they do but, I have had a few odd things go on with me like, getting woke up in the middle of the night by the feeling of my shoulder being nudged and hearing my name at the same time (that did scare me a bit) 

Last night little Dylan was laying on the couch watching Rio, he sat straight up with a terrified look on his face and scrambled into his moms arms. He was so afraid he couldn't even cry. He was shaking and his eyes were huge.....once he calmed down a bit he said there was a scary head in the corner. We took him out on the front porch for a few minutes, then out of the blue he said the light went back in so we could go back into the house. That was IT for Aubrey, Today she called a paranormal investigative team to come investigate.

They are coming this weekend...OHHHHHH MY!! should be fun, I sure hope it puts her mind at ease.

She told Dylan that if he saw anyone else to just yell "GET OUT OF HERE!!"

He has yelled that a few times today so needless to say her and Dyl are home alone and she is totally freaked out!! 

stay tuned for the results of this investigation!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
