Lucky Dorito

My husband went out of town on Saturday, driving my van. That left the girls and I sporting around town in his big ol’ truck… (which I actually enjoy driving because it makes me feel TALL!) It was a beautiful day so when all the errands were done, the girls played outside until it started [...]

I get so stinkin’ tired of thinking of a title sometimes. Sheesh. It actually deters me from writing a post some days. So Beebo told me a funny story tonight that made me laugh out loud. She cracks me up sometimes. She was at school today, walking with a friend in the gym. As they [...]

I am truly overwhelmed and so full of joy just looking at these photos and the event they represent. I keep looking at Beebo’s sweet smile and find myself sitting here, smiling back at my computer screen. Totally dorky. But true. Beebo was saved on January 8th – the Sunday before I left for Guatemala. [...]

This past weekend, my daughter’s school presented their production of Beauty and the Beast Junior – done solely by 4th and 5th graders. It was awesome – from the set, to the costumes, to the performances, to the solos. Awesome, I tell ya!! Luby in red, behind the spinning wheel. Belle and the Beast Mrs. [...]

I was thinking and reviewing 2010 in my mind the other day, trying to remember all the things we did. Well, you know how pitiful my memory can be…. so I had to look back through all the pictures on my computer to remember it all! January 2010: *New Year’s Eve with Lena *My mom’s [...]

You should have seen it …. it was scary. Floor-shaking. Laugh til you drop funny. My oldest daughter gave us “Just Dance” for the wii so on New Year’s Day after Lena and her hubby went home, the four of us, Mr. Lucky, Beebo, Luby and myself got our funk on! Heavens to Betsy. So [...]

Random, random, random 1. I love my first ever Scentsy crock. Love love love it. (and the “sugar cookie” fragrance is wonderful!) 2. I found this shirt at CafePress and I think I MUST have it! (Maybe Santa will bring it to me!) 3. I saw this cutie-patootie again the other day. He is still [...]

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Luby, Happy birthday to YOU!! My baby girl turns 11 today. That just seems impossible to me….. time flies by fast! I wish you all knew my sweet girls. I can describe how wonderful they are but… coming from a mother that loves them [...]

This past Saturday, we finally got to take the girls zip-lining. I was the designated “spectator” because I do NOT like heights and had absolutely NO intention of participating but I wanted to get some pictures. I only got a few though, right before they took off on the first zip-line because after that, you [...]

We took the girls to an orchard in a neighboring town this past weekend. They have a petting zoo. And a lot of pumpkins. And apples out the wazoo. And a big ole’ slide for the kids. Even the big kids get to go on it!
