when my mom was in the 3rd grade




here is my mom when she was 12 yrs old




my mom again just not sure of the age in this one





recent pic of my mom




I love you mom....If you think I'm crazy, wait till you meet my mom then you will realize what crazy really is!....

prayer request for my dad

ok i will be the first to admitt it but I am a mommy's girl..always have been...she is there when I need to cry, laugh or talk to...but my attention is towards my dad...He is at the hospital fighting a battle for his life...I love my dad and now I am crying again..I haven't treated my dad like he ought to be treated I admit I have feelings for my dad that I have to work on..and with him being in the hospital its bringing those feelings out and i am having a hard time dealing with them...so please work with me on this...

I was so hurt by Him not showing up to my wedding I always wanted my dad to give me away my mom stepped up and gave me away but he showed up to my brother and sis in laws wedding and gave her away...
He says call him more often but can't call us...
complains when I am not on the computer as often as i should be...
says constantly I don't love him...
says you need to loose weight...

I love my dad so very much but with the examples above show you what i have dealt with from him in the past 16 yrs...part of me feels that he didn't want me as a baby so he says things to me as an adult to push me away...I AM HERE DAD...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH...

prayers

Please pray for a special needs little girl that goes to my church..her name is Sydney they found her in a pool today and its not looking good they say there is very little brain activity..please God watch over our little Angel Sydney..she is in your hands and we ask that honestly you do as you please with her...if its meant for her to stay on earth or be in heaven then let it be comforting for her family..I hope that don't sound mean

Sidney passed away Wed. July 14, 2010

Flashback

I follow a blog named Eva Nicole..she is a special needs little girl and her mom does a blog called Flashback Fridays so I'm just going to do Flashback...back when my kids loved each other and never tried to hurt each other...The Good and Bad times...The good because they truly loved each other, there to help each other out, cry on each others shoulders, good times..The bad times cause when this picture was taken my favorite Aunt Judy was taking care of them...you see my house wasn't always the cleanest so DHR stepped in and removed them from my house till we showed a difference in how it looked, with lots of counseling & going to see the case worker my kids came home 3 months after leaving my house..Now wonder why I am saying this cause most people would say "OMG i would never say a word cause that is so embarrassing...NOT me I find it helpful to say I had a problem, that problem led me to question God, Myself, My family, Just Everything..I came to find out that God loved me so much and wanted the best for me...I love God and nothing will every change that feeling...He has brought me through Hell and allowed me to land on my feet, solid ground..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL

I have a best friend that I would like to wish a Very Happy Birthday to...

Happy Birthday Mel

My present to you..


Best Friend

Happy birthday my best friend,
Amazing times, we always spend.
Laughter and jokes are common place,
Since we built that solid base.

Special friend that I hold dear,
Always wish to have you near.
We get along, like bread with honey,
A friendship worth, much more than money.

If you stumble, count me there,
Gratitude; no need to declare.
Your thoughts are clear, in my mind,
Understanding we always find.

Happy birthday my best friend,
I’m excited to attend.
This birthday poem, is just for you,
A great big smile is overdue.

friday fun

Friday fun was awesome...

Amanda was asked by her friend to go to the movies...so they went around 12:18pm to see Marmaduke they said it was a blast and funny...sorry no pic of them two...

In the mean time I decided to take Meagan and Chelsea bowling they had a free 1 game but had to pay for shoe rental...well I decided to let Kevin bowl 1 game too...came out spending $11.50 not bad

us before heading in to bowl


My two little cuties..I love Chelsea's look in this pic...Meagan your sweet


Kevin bowling....


the score...Chelsea got an 80....Meagan 82 and Kevin 114


then Amanda came over and joined in the fun



Amanda and Kevin played a game of pool....to which I think He won...



My favorite one of the kids... now being they are my kids it took me yelling at them to get this pic done...needless to say Meagan and Chelsea were into it...pushing, yelling, hitting, then Kevin "tried" to brake it up by yelling and hitting each of them and me yelling so this is a truly Kodak moment..



At the bowling alley they have a machine that will take your picture and sketch it and it cost $2.00 so I got one with me and Amanda...


then got one of the kids....
