Familey

Well isnt family great...Everyone thinks theirs is right....On June 29th my cousin went home to the arms of our Lord....He has been sick many years and is now free of pain...We just spent the last three days in Denver saying our goodbyes to him...Our kids all got to spend time together...As kids go they had a blast...Kids see the good in everything. Chuckie his brother Chris, my sister Shellie and I all grew up very close together...To loose someone is always so hard no matter what has happened...I dont even remember much of the funeral as I was such a basket case...For all of you that would like to lean on me dont....I am the worlds biggest babie...They made a poll and I took the whole thing....I was a mess....My 16 year old son Dain was a pall bearer...Hardest thing he has had to do in his young life...He had a very hard time w/ the whole thing too.. I have spent alot of the last two weeks praying for strengh and guidence to get me through this rough time in my life....We were supposed to grow old together like our parents have....I am a big baby and do feel sorry for my loss...Then I look around and see that my life isnt as bad as some people have it....Somtimes you just have to give your all to our Lord and let him have your whole life....I feel at peace knowing that just over a year ago Chuckie gave his life to the Lord..What a blessing to know that he had accepted our Lord into his life....

Our Trip

Well the kids and I just got home friday from Texas...We went down to see family and friends.....
We got there on the last day of school. I got to surprise a family friend at her 6th grade grad....She screamed so loud that now I think I might have to go and get a hearing aide...Job done. I for sure suprised her...
We got to spend time w/ our good friends Dave and Gill..As always crazy with kids all over...Of course darling Claire scared me AGAIN with her snake...My oldest son Dain went with us...Claire was trying to turn on the water and Dain asked if he could help her....She shot him a look that make me laugh so hard...I said Dain dont worry she is 5 going on 25....
We also got to go swimming w/ Gill and Aub...Out of 9 kids between us we only had 3 with us...Wow that was strange....
We spent alot of time w/ my bff Sandi andher kids....Sandi and I had some great times that I can not share on here....... She would for sure hurt me....
We spent alot of the time in pool....Talk about hot weather...Wow that was a change for us...But we all got great tans.....
I was able to go to church one sunday while we were there...So many new babies...Wow...It was a blessing to see everyone that I have grown to love...
Our trip home was bitter sweet as we did not want to leave our good friends...I do know that life always throws us curve balls and we have to take it as it comes....

Here We Go!!!!!!
