My Mini Vacation

Oh boy did I have fun this weekend. I went out of town to visit my best friend Kathy. We did just what we wanted to do this weekend, Nothing!!! I was all about us. We did our nails, colored our hair, had Chinese for lunch on Friday and went out for lunch on Saturday. We had a great weekend. I was afraid to come home on Sunday because I didn't know what was waithing. The kitchen could have been cleaned up, it wasn't the way I left it. Kellie did fix dinner one night so at least I know they didn't starve :). Kathy and I had a great time and I can't wait to do it again.

Getting Away

I am so excited. I get to go out of town tomorrow, Thursday. I get to go see my best friend Kathy. I haven't seen her in quite awhile. We have plans to go out to eat and to visit the cutest little store around. I love to collect chickens and this place has them all, or they use to. I haven't been there in a long time. I am so hoping that this weekend is a great weekend. Just the girls!!

Happy Bithday Kellie

Today is my youngest daughter Kellie's 19th birthday. Boy do I feel old. Kellie is very much her own person. I remember that day she was born. Uncle "Turtle" had taken Chelsie, Kellie's older sister, to see Sesame Street Live and it was snow really bad. He brought Chelsie home around 6:30pm. I had Chelsie take her bath and eat dinner while I gave Les his bath, he was 1 at the time. We read stories and then it was bed time. The kids dad was at work, he worked the late night shift so he was gone. I went to bed and played Mario on the Nintendo and went to sleep around 11:30pm. I woke up at 3am thinking I had to go to the restroom. Well to my surprise that wasn't what was going on. I was in Labor!! There was no one here but me and two sleeping kids. What to do. Call Mom and have her send over Dad. That was the first thing. Call Randy and let him know he needed to come home. Call 911, this baby isn't going to wait. Most women usually have time. My first baby was a 4.5 hour labor, the 2nd was 2.75 hours and this one, well no way was she going to wait. I was talking the 911 dispatcher and he asked if my water had broken, thanks it just did. Yuck all over the carpet. Thanks 911. Then I had the Very YOUNG police officer that showed up and as soon as he seen what was going on, turned as white as a sheet. Great now what? My Dad showed up about that time. Thank you Dad. Here comes the paramedics. Finally. They get me into the ambulance and off to the hospital. Of course the roads were really nasty from all the snow, oh did I mention that it was a blizzard that was going on? Oh yes it was!! We had gotten to the hospital and I asked the paramedic to tell me if it was a boy or girl and she laughed. "You didn't have that baby yet". I asked her to amuse me and look anyway. "Wow it is a girl!" The rest is history. Thanks for letting me remember this day and to share it with you. Happy Birthday Kellie.

A little about my family

So my son is 20 years old and wants to either go to culinary school or machinics. He asked my to teach him how to make a peach pie, so here we are in the kitchen and he is covered in flour. What a funny sight it was! He has on black so you can only imagine how that looked. Mine you Les, my son, is 6'2" and a fairly hefty young man. So let your imagination run wild with that thought. I wish I would have had the camera handy. He loves to cook and is always ready to learn a new dish. Some day he will make a good house husband :). My girls on the other hand really don't care if they cook or not. Chelsie is my oldest, 24, and she is married to a super guy Richard. They have a little boy named Jaxson. Chelsie is in the Army and stationed in South Carolina for now. She will be deployed to Korea in April. Not so sure I will be able to handle that. Richard and Jaxson will come to stay with us for awhile while she is gone. Looking forward to that. I don't get to see Jaxson very much and he is 2. Can't wait. Kellie is my youngest, 19, and she has a little girl named Jayla. What a beauty she is. Jayla is 5 months old. Kellie can't decide what she wants to do with her life just yet. Nursing shool looks pretty good to her. Well thanks for reading a little about my family. I am sure there will be tons more to come.

Thank you Kim

I am just starting out blogging and I would like to say a big thank you to my sister-in-law Kim for coming and giving me a crash course on how to get started. Hopefully soon I will be off and running on my own. Again, thanks Kim for your help!!
