Dear Someone

I love this new thing "Dear Someone." Click on over with Family of Shorts and play along.

Dear Little Man (Coby) -
why do you keep growing up so fast? How is it that I blink my eyes and you are bigger and growing more every day? Just this past weekend you taught me your song " 5 little monkeys swinging from a tree." How is it you are old enough to be teaching your mommy things? I watched you walk down the hallway last night to get your pajamas to put on? I wanted to get them for you! I've always got them for you! That's something you are still suppose to need your mommy for.
I watched you this past weekend shooting your bow. You are only 3
I wish you were still small enough for me to rock you to sleep at night.
Time is flying by for us and it really bothers me! You are the baby of the family and I want you to stay a baby longer!
I know I'm going to blink my eyes and you will be a teenager.
So, please please if you would stay little, for just a little bit longer! Let me know that you NEED me and you couldn't survive in this world without me!

Love always -
Your sad sad mommy!

Craigslist Find of the Day

So - Brandy and I had JUST been looking at the website where you buy these vinyls for your home. The VERY next day - I found our favorite one on craigslist for $5! I called the lady immediately and met her to get it.
I put it up in Coby's bedroom last night! I think it is cute!
Let me know what you think.......

Wordless Wednesday

So- on our 3-day weekend, I got some scrapbooking done! YEA ME!

Hunting Season is right around the corner.....

Check this out.....little man, has learned to pull his bow back ALL THE WAY! The first time daddy showed him how to pull it back all the way- the arrow went VERY FAR! Coby was HOOKED after that!

Yes, daddy has a target set up for him! He's 3 now - time to get serious with this.....

And look...he's doing it all by himself! :) He is so proud that he knows how to shoot his bow now.

Please Forgive Me!

I am so so mad at myself!
So - Yesterday Cory, Coby and I were leaving to go riding. 1 mile down the road I tell Cory "shoot! I forgot my camera." (Which is NOT like me!) And OF COURSE we are going to drive down Amish lane, and I thought what a perfect day it would have been to take pics of the Amish farms and post them on here, for all my blogging friends to see.
Yada Yada the day goes on, and we are driving home....
One Amish home had all their windows open! IT IS 87 degrees here! Which I KNOW isn't HOT-HOT, but still....it's HOT! Right?
Then....we drive up behind an Amish couple walking down the road? Did I have my camera? NO!
Drive a little farther.....and drive by an Amish buggy sitting in another Amish's "driveway" (if you can call it that) and looks as if they are delivering food to that home. Only the woman got out of the buggy, carrying a couple containers. Do I have my camera? NO!!!
So, we drive a litte bit farther and come right up behind a horse and buggy going down the road. So I grab Cory's cell phone to use the camera on it. And we get beside them to pass them (slowly of course, so we don't scare their horse.) And i got scared! I was scared they were going to see me taking their picture and get mad! So by the time I clicked - I got a picture of Cory's door panel on the truck! REALLY!?!?!?
I could have had SO many great Amish pictures for my blogging friends - but I don't! :( What a sad sad day! I'm so sorry!! Please forgive me!

Dear Someone

Join me in the Dear Someone...... This is my first time playing - so I'm a little excited!

Dear Swine Flu -

why must you make your way into America? Furthermore why must you make your way into Oklahoma? Even furthermore, why must you make your way into MY HOME!? Yes, my 2 oldest children have been infected with your bacteria now! Well, let me say....they have tested positive for Flu Type A - -and from what I'm being told by healthcare professionals now is that they DO have H1N1. How can you look so innocent and still give us all your germs? If you want to roll around in the mud all day and eat nasty disgusting things, then go right ahead, but PLEASE little piggy leave us alone!!!

Signed - aggravated mom!

Dear Teenage children-

Why do you insist in your bedroom being a mess? When I, your mother, can keep the kitchen, dining room, living room, master bath, hall bath, and my own bedroom clean. Dust free, vaccummed, everything in it's place. And I always give you clean laundered clothes to wear. You have one divided off section to call your own and it looks like a tornado came through there? What is it about not putting clothes in the dirty laundry hamper? What is it about having wrappers of all sorts all over your bedroom? What is it about digging everything out and just throwing it somewhere, rather than putting it back where it belongs? And you wonder why your mother seems so stressed?

Well just remember one thing dear teenage children........IF MOMMA AIN'T HAPPY AIN'T NOBODY HAPPY!!!!

Love always - MOM!
