Doyle is comin' of age!!!!!

Okay, so the wheels coincide with his age!! Can you believe this?! Mimi's heart was definitely in her throat but he did really well, oh life in rural America!!

This is what I mean by priorities ....

Even though C.J. has been home for a little over two months, these pictures were taken the two days after we got to Safford. C.J. got in on a Tuesday, the next day Trevor had knee surgery and the day after that he and Heather stayed until the following Monday so they could be here for our missionary's homecoming. That's what family is all about!! Rex took a week off of work so he could be here for his brother, that's what I'm talkin' bout!! So we had all our family under one roof and this mama was one grateful, excited and relieved woman!!!!!!!

Where did the time go ???!!!

Okay, this is now one of my priorities since I have put my life in on a schedule (and when I can get to the computer since C.J. is using it for all his college assignments). I am home today and 1/2 day Thurs and yesterday with the flu and this is the first time I have been pretty much upright.
I am truly blessed and now I can focus on the essentials and leave the non-essentials to lie where they may!

One year closer to retirement !!

Yup, I must say that is a lovely thought. I loved my day and having my mom here for awhile has made it really fun!!
I love my family and my sweetheart, we got to go on a ride tonight and I still get breathless when I am with him!!!
Yes, the advantages of having birthdays are so awesome and having good health to enjoy them is a blessing!!!!

Happy Birthday, Heather Danine !!!!!!

34 years ago today !!!!!

When they put that precious bundle in my arms, I couldn't believe she had just left Heavenly Father's arms!!! I was excited, scared, exuberant, and thought I could not love any one more than my Heather Danine!!! She became a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend to all who has crossed her path.
Thank you, Heather for being the first best friend with four more to come. I love you!!!!

YUP, THE FIRST WEEK IS OVER !!!!!

Can I just say this week of registration is over and now I feel like I finally have a handle on the "don't get so uptight" thing? I love the people I work with and now I am so much happier with the kids coming back. FOOTBALL starts in a few weeks and I am so excited!!!! I can scream my head off and nobody cares except for Dad who has purchased earplugs so I don't give him a headache!!!!!!
So here comes the Bulldogs and the crazy lady with the big mouth!!!!!!
