I am glad we got some snow so kiddos could go sledding. I am sick so I sent them to mom and dad's to go sledding, thank God for parents!

Happy Grandparent's Day

Happy Granparent's Day to all the grandparents out there in the "blogging" world. Happy Grandparent's Day to my Papaw Mink in Heaven!

Ryan new job, new doors open...

The miles between us,
Seem ever so long,
But while you're out there,
I have to stay strong.

It seems so hard,
Not having you near,
But I have to remember,
Soon you will be here.

The days seem so long,
The road seems to never end,
The voices on the radio,
Are your only friend.

Into the endless sky,
As the truck roles on,
I know you're thinking of me,
All the time that you're gone.

The kids they miss you,
And can't wait for your return,
To play Wii and games,
From you it's these things they learn.

I can't wait for you to hold me,
Your arms around me so tight,
Just to be close to you,
The feeling of loneliness I have to fight.

I worry about you out there alone,
With the hazards that follow you,
As you travel down the road,
I know you're thinking about them too.

I can't wait for you to come home,
To see your smiling face,
Please remember I love you,
And I'm with you in every place.

I hope you will always know,
That I am so proud to be you wife,
And knowing that trucking,
Helps fulfill your life.

Every mile behind you,
Is one less you have to go,
Cause every mile traveled,
Brings you closer to home.


This is for my husband Ryan,
I am so proud to be your wife.
Just remember that even though we
can't always be together I love you
more than life. Drive on and drive strong
and always be proud of who you are.

Happy Birthday Laken on Sept 10th

As I Watch You Grow

Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart
it's there you'll always be though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me awhirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals, sit before you very near.
With god's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt Love!

happy birthday Hunter

Wyatt, Hunter & Laken's birthdays...

License now, no permit

I passed the rider's part of my motorcycle license tonight. I went and took the driving test at Washington. I was a nervous wreck, a friend went along and that made it a little easier. Until half way there they mentioned they came to this same place to take this test and waited in line, signed up and everything. Someone else dropped their bike right there on the course, needless to say friend walked away immediately saying " I cant do this either". The guy was nice enough to work me into his schedule.... Thanks to Gary Williams (lil Gary) that is... I am really ready to ride now

Taylor Swift

We got Laken and Chloe concert tickets for Valentines Day to see Taylor Swift. It was great! The girls loved it! She walked out in the crowd and Ryan put Chloe on his shoulders and she was about 10 feet away from her. Chloe's eyes were sooo big!

Laken's 1st turkey hunt with papaw

Dad took Laken turkey hunting for her first time this past weekend. She didnt get one, unfortunately but she did see 7 or 8 and she had a blast. Plus she found mushrooms too!

Prayer for strength request

Please pray for my brother, he has got a rough day ahead of him tomorrow. Really dont want to go into details just send prayers Jason's way please. Not just for Jason but his family also. Thanks, a concerned sis.

Turkey Hunt

This weekend was turkey season for the youth hunters. Dad took Laken, she stayed up there 3 nights in a row. 1st night to get her gun sighted in and the other 2 so they could get up before daylight. On Saturday they actually saw 7 or 8 but couldnt get a good shot. This morning they did go back to woods but it rained them out. They didnt see any turkeys today. Dad said they had so much fun they were laying in the grass laughing. They did find some mushrooms, and I am glad Laken got to spend quality time with dad. I am sure she will never forget her first turkey hunt!
She informed me she is leaving her camo and boots at Papaws because they are still going hunting, season comes in this Wed. or Thurs for everyone so maybe they will get one, if so I will post it!!!

Mushroom season is here!!!

Virginia trip with my hubby

Well I took off this week to spend spring break with my girls. Chloe ends up sick all week and has been doing breathing tx three times daily. Laken is bored and mad because Chloes sick. They wanted to go to French Lick to new water park but we are goin to have to do that when sis is feeling better.

Ryan found out last minute he was goin to Va & Kentucky for work so I rode along. Mom babysitted for me, and I am glad I went. It was beautiful, you can see from my pics how pretty the Appalachian Mts are. Maybe girls can go on road trip with him too, when their off school sometime...Enjoy my pics

Design website help!!!

Does anyone have any pointers on creating a website? I would prefer it to be free. I have been looking into this for a couple weeks, so I know there are free web hosting available. I am just not too sure how it all works. Any ideas would be greatful. I am Sec. of Abate in Martin County so I decided to take this task on. I am thinking maybe this was a little too much for me. Just asking...Have a great day! All the sunshine and then some rain, the mushrooms will be popping up before too long! Yum, Yum...
