Last Post.......

So my hubby and I decided that the Internet is sucking out our souls and making us zombies. With that said this will be my last post. I am very sad about this but I have to say the spirit has made it clear to me that this is the right thing to do. You can not argue with that.
I hope you will all still think of me and call me often. Love to you all........

Like gag me with a spoon!!!

So my friend Melanie is sooooo fun! She loves to do BIG parties and plan things she is a great organizer. Her hubby just turned 40 so she threw a surprise party for him. And not just any party an 80's murder mystery party. IT WAS SOOOOOOO FUN!!!
Debbie Gribson, Teen Wolf, Spunky Brewster. Scab Face,
Polly Abdool Our Hostess with the mostest!! And El Vampira
Everyone got a character from the 80's. I was Debbie Gribson (Debbie Gibson) and Brian was Howard Scott (Teen Wolf) There were so many fun Characters and it turns out that Lyndi Lauper (Cindy Lauper) killed Alligator Dundee (Crocodile Dundee) with a Rubik's Cube!! So FUNNY!!!! When he came out with the Rubik's Cube stuck to his head I almost peed my pants. AHHHH GOOD TIMES!!
Alligator Dundee (victim) Lyndi Lauper (murderer)
My SEXY HOT hubby!!!
So I realized I was having soooo much fun that I didn't take very good pictures. Sorry and I didn't get everybody. there were 11 different couples. All with a part and unique name. BRAVO MELANIE!! It was a blast!!!

First Day of School!!

Most moms dread the first day of school. They will miss their kids being home, blah, blah, blah!!! NOT ME!!! WHOOOO HOOO!!
Let my vacation begin!!!
My best friend Tye and I decided to do a hot chocolate and donut party for the kids, we wanted them to think we were "sad" they were leaving!! They all pounded the goodies and laughed and tolerated "picture time" when the bus pulled up I tried real hard not to shout HOOOORRAYYYY!!! and watched them march on to the big yellow limo.....
Yeah we got on the bus!! we are CRAZY like that here!!
WE WERE BOTH JUMPING FOR JOY!!! AHHHH what a great day!!!
Emi was so excited to get a donut, and loved seeing the bus... She was happier when she discovered she had me all to herself!!

Parker is 10 and starting the 5th grade. He is such a good kid and is soooooo excited for his teacher Mr. Despain. Kenna LOVED him and got Parker all jazzed about this year. Parks looks sooo much like his daddy. Sooo handsome!!!

Kenna is 12 and starting 7th grade!!!( Middle school ) She is soooo beautiful I want her to stop growing. This is the year that makes or breaks you. I know she will do great things, and ignore the "Mean Girls" at school cause we all know they are out there!!
GOOD LUCK MY SWEET BABIES!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAN!!!

12 years ago I was getting ready to watch the Monster truck show at the fair, I was sooooo excited! However.... Makenna had other plans!! It was a looooong day, needless to say I am happy to have her here, and I am fine with missing the monster trucks.

I can not believe my baby is 12, YOUNG WOMEN'S! AHHHHHH!!! I am getting old. Oh well it happens right?


I LOVE THIS KID!!!!


Kenna is a huge Zelda fan so her cake was the Tri-force from the game. Don't know what that is? Me either. OH well! she was happy and it tasted GOOD! Each triangle was a different flavor combination . MMMMMM!



Pretty soon we are going to have to lock her up!!!

Fair Time

Ahhhh the sound of carnival rides,the smell of funnel cakes, the sound of kids laughing, the smell of cow poop, sheep poop, pig poop, and don't forget the chicken poop!! That's right folks it is time for the Lincoln County Fair! YEEEEE HAAWWWW!

I have to admit I HATE the fair. It is dirty and over priced. I also feel violated every time I go over by the rides. The Carnies are NASTY!!! And it is not that I am the hottest thing to happen to them they stare and creep out everyone. GRRRRRROOSSSSS!
Anyhow.. Needless to say we still take the kids. They LOVE it and I love to see their smile!!



Emi loved the train, FAST ACTION AND ALL!




Emi and Millie. HOT BABES!! This is Emis first time at the fair that we can remember. Last year they "forgot" to reserve the rides so we just didn't even go.


Look at that face!!! "Come on grandma..... GIVE ME THE TICKETS!!!!" Parks was sooooo funny!


"Can we ride the zipper just one more time PLEEEEEASE!!!" Kenna is a mad woman. (like Mom)


This was our favorite pig at the fair!! NICE TUTU!!! I some how managed to only spend $30 dollars at the fair this year!! That is AMAZING!!! We had a good time and I am glad it is over!!!

Call Family Farm

We have started our family farm...... It is slow and we are taking baby steps, but exciting non the less. Our first acquisition...
4 baby ducks!!
Afflac, Barbie, Buddy, & Pistachio.
They are very cute and surprisingly fun. Thanks to my sister in law Joyce, the animal lover she is, got them for us. The kids are in heaven, especially Kenna.

Kenna and Pistachio. We were worried about the ducks with Pepper, our dog, she is part English Springer Spaniel and LOVES birds. She chases them all day long. Pistachio at 2 weeks old bit Peppers nose and that was that. Pepper steers clear, she is still curious but keeps her distance.


The little one in my shadow is Buddy. He is the smallest one and very gentle. He hurt his foot and has a limp. Parker has attached himself to Buddy and is nursing him back to health. So far so good. Buddy seems to be doing better every day.
Emily named Barbie. (surprise)
And we named Afflac in honor of my dad!! LOVE YOU!!!

The Rainbow Connection!!

Sooooo.... A few weeks ago my mom was here with T.J.'s kids. It had been raining for about 4 weeks on and off. On this particular day there was a rainbow in our back yard. It was perfect. When we walked out our back door it was from one end of our property to the other. It was AMAZING!!!
I LOVE rainbows they make me happy! I feel sooo comforted when I see them.
You can also see the rock work we have been doing... It is taking FOREVER!!!!!! And I have a lawn coming in! YAY!!!

30 minute sand box!!!

We are trying to do a little landscaping on our land and it is sooooooooo HARD with Emi. She always wants to be right under my feet. So on Saturday my wonderful hubby was helping me in the yard and finally agreed that Emi is a pain.....
I have been hinting around about a sand box.. Brian always rolls his eyes.. :) But he said he thought it would be good idea to distract her...(Glad he thought of it!!!) ugh.....
So thanks to the fact that my hubby is handy and has access to heavy equipment,(thanks Mom and Dad Call) and we have some pretty good connections at the local lumber yard.HA HA HA! We went to get the stuff we needed and literally 30 minutes later......TAAAHH DAHHHHH!!! a sand box....
The irony in all this is that the last sand box we had I did by myself. It took about 3 weeks. I had to hand shovel all the sand and move all the Rail Road ties by myself. this time Brian just sort of threw everything around and BAMMMM it was done!!! I love me a good strong man!!! ;p

Parks playing dead!! Kenna and Parker like this almost more than Emi!!!

Kenna stabbing Parker in the foot!!! Needless to say the best money we have spent in a long time!! So far 3 days of fun, fun, fun!!!!

I think his tractor is SEXY!!!!

Ask and ye shall receive!!! We are now officially Red-necked farmers!!!And the proud owners of a John Deere tractor!!

we have 10+ acres to take care of and I am soooooo thankful that Brian doesn't think I should do it all by myself with the 4 wheeler!!! lol!

Brian searched and searched for months. He finally found this little gem. I LOVE it!! Sooooo much fun to use. So now needless to say we are landscaping up a storm and of course working on the motocross track.
Brian's new girly friend... She is HOT!!!!
Future site of Bubbas motocross track. You cant tell very well but he has been scraping and leveling and de-rocking it already. Very exciting. We love our place.
This is my project. We are placing rocks across the front of our property, like a wall, 1- because it is too steep for a mower. And 2- not only do we grow grasshoppers but we grow ROCKS!!! so it is free materials!! I like FREE!!
In my hurry to get things started I decided to smash my birdie finger between two boulders!! I didn't even swear. Thank you very much. But I see my hand and think my fingers are dirty because they are VERY purple now!!! Did I mention I have my own accident policy??? :P

Dani's first 5K !!!!!!

I DID IT!!!!!!!
That's right I ran my first ever 5K. It was sooooo fun. I ran the whole way NO STOPS for this girl!!! I did it in 36 minutes and 18 seconds. I was the last in our group to come in. But I was not the last in the race by any means!! I just wanted to finish it, I didn't care about the time so much. And I haven't been running for a very long time. It was a GREAT day! Mom and dad were even in town for the race. That was cool for me because I remember going to my dads races alot when I was little. Now I just need to work on lengthening my stride!!!

The crew : Tye, Alana, Me, and Erin, We have been getting up and running every morning at 6 am. This is a great group of girls. Tye pushes me. Erin inspires me. And Alana is where I want to be. They are all AMAZING people!!!
Me at the finish line!! WHOOO HOOO!!

The best part was that my super HOT hubby showed up on his street bike at the end. He has been real supportive of this new hobby and is sooooo GOOD to me!! I am a lucky girl!! (He likes me enough to get off of his tractor to come see me. LOL!!!)
I FEEL GOOD!!!!

Running!!!

So I am sure I have a million funny stories to tell and cute pics to post....... However I have taken up a new hobby and I am obsessed with it. In a way that is sooooo unhealthy I am quite excited about the whole thing.
I woke up one day and decided I wanted to run. For those of you who know me know that that is CRAZY TALK!!! I have never had the endurance to run very far or fast. I have the strength just no endurance.
I have been off of soda completely for 2 months, I started a diet and I have been exercising for 2 months. I feel great. I still have alot of work to do but I look alot better already and feel better. I put my whole family on this program, cooking better and more activity so far so good.
Anyways back to the running thing. I decided to go running. I talked to my sis in law about breathing. She is an avid runner and I figured she would have great advise........ She did. I said "So tell me the secret to regulating your breathing while you run. I just can't get it." She looked at me and said "Just breath normally!!" LIGHT BULB!!!! I know stupid. Right? It really works. I ran that first day a mile and a half non stop!!!!!! MIRACLE!!!!!! Ask anyone who knows me and they will laugh and say "Oh yeah Dani does NOT run!!! HAHAHAHAA!!"
Even better ask any of my P.E. coaches, They will tell you " nada! why do you think she got an F in P.E.?" SO now I am running everyday. I feel AMAZAZAZAZING!!!! It is great. I can not tell you any measurements or LBS. lost because I haven't kept track of it, I find myself getting discouraged when I police that stuff. I just know my clothes fit better and I feel better!!! YEAH!!!!

Breakin' The Law!!!!

My good friend Melanie has been missing in action for the last month. Not because she wants to be but because she is the cheer coach for the High School and they have been crunching for State!!! Well State is done and now we have her back!!! YEAHHHH!!
They got 2nd place and feel it was a good competition. they worked hard and preformed better than ever. Tye and I decided to give her a little recognition............
It's just a little shoe polish and paper fans!!!
She is one "FAN" tastic coach!!!
It was about 10 degrees outside so the shoe polish kept freezing!! It was very funny. So our vandalism is a bit lumpy!! The desired look was accomplished and we had a blast!!!
Good Job Melanie!!!

Play Date!

Emi is the only girl in our neighborhood her age..... We thought. We recently figured out that my friend Heidi's little girl Gwenney is younger but will be in the same grade. So we started play dates. It was fun for all and good to see Emily learn to share.... She is working on it!!! Hopefully a great friendship will come of this... Not to mention some missionary work!! Hee hee!
The ball less ball pit... Great Fun!


Miss Gwenney


Heidi and Nicki, Gwenney is trying to take my picture!! She is a cutie!!!
