Guess whos Back...

Jess is Back!!

And we couldn't be more excited! The boys can't get enough of him... and cling on to him like no other! He can't DO ANYTHING alone! Anything.... including trying to sleep!  BUT I don't blame them! I'm not a fan of a family bed.. But Trent has woke up a couple of ties crying for Daddy (something he NEVER does).  So I quickly go get him, and bring him on in with us... Because I know first hand how much he has missed him!! And Drew wonders in first thing in the morning. The feeling of having all my boys surround me is the best!! Even though I am uncomfortably surrounded with a foot in my chin, so I have no other choice than to get out of bed! 

I forgot what having a husband felt like!  I forgot what a tremendous help he is to us! I am so thankful for his hard work... BUT I'm even more thankful that dreadful job in Nevada is DONE!!

That was miserable!

    Today was MAGGIE'S BIRTHDAY!!

                                                We celebrated last night, and it was a lovely time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGGIE!

WELCOME HOME JESS!

Just Because

                                                      Because I LOVE him... I visit him!

             Because I Love his Spot... I spend as much time as possible here!

          Because I Miss Him and I want him to know, I tell him while I'm there!

 

I've become quite familiar with this place over the last year and 5 months.

I know some people don't want to be buried, but I do!

I think you're not supposed to step on the grave,  but I sit on it... hope that's not bad

I know Some People get scared and uncomfortable about talking about death.... I used to be.

I'd always change the subject, not mention it, not wanting to not upset the loved ones of the deceased!! That's all just silly! I LOVE him... LOVE talking about him... Love everything about him!

People are just now starting to bring him up in conversation to me... And I LOVE that!

His Plot is so beautiful to me.
It's Under a nice Tree, and it's near a big empty pasture.

I get overwhelming feeling of comfort there.
When I'm there....
I'm Proud to be his sister
I'm Honored to be recognized as looking like him as I look at that handsome etched in stone
I'm Blessed to have had him in my life
I'm Grateful for 28 years with him
I'm Lucky to have so many fabulous memories
I'm Hurt because we only got 30 years of him
I feel silly Because I talk to him out loud
I'm Afraid because I don't ever want to feel this again
I'm Happy because I feel so much Peace here

sunshine

Despite Yesterdays Showers... which I hope were good for the flowers!  We have had some spectacular sunshiny days lately! We got our flowers, tomatoes, and strawberries all planted! And my personal little Sunshine's made fabulous helpers... really they did help out quite a bit that day!  Sweet little Trent is pretty anxious for those strawberries...  as he has pulled each of the entire plants out of the ground  while trying to pick the little blossoms that I told him would soon be berries! 
                      

A Very Special Ray of Sunshine in our life celebrates a Special Birthday Today!!

Cowboys and Indians

We just celebrated my nephew Brayden's 2nd Birthday! It was a Wild Indian Party! It was the perfect theam for this wild little child! He is into everything.. giving my sweet sister-in-law a good run for her money, as well as a good work out keeping up with him! The Party was a Kick in the Pants! 

We started our Day off at the Colusa Western Days were we watched the boys in the family try and win big! The Boys had a Big time! Trent Is In Love with anything that involves Cow's and Drew could care less! He was all about hanging with the Big Boys! 

And of course these cute little guys stold the show!

Then we were off To One WILD INDIAN Party

let me tell you!!

 Turns Out the Most fun of the Day was held at the after Party!

After all the guests had gone is when the real party began! 

 How could we expect for little Brayden to be anything short of a Wild Indian... when this is what he as to look up too!!  Seems a if the Real Wild Indians were the Mamas!!

 Look at Sweet Little Brayden's Smile Looking down at his nut of a mother after she just did a double back flip down the Bounce Palace!! Funnest Party Investment EVER!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Little Muffin!!
