Happy Thanksgiving

A few things to be thankful for:

• Today we had a Thanksgiving meal with our school kids. We provide the turkey, ham, potatoes, and a green bean casserole, they provide a side dish. We have 30 kids on our roster they all brought something from vegetables to desserts. Every year that we do this it is amazing to me the amount of food and how much it means to the kids. Every year I am reminded of a quote that says "To the world you may only be one person but to one person you might be the world"
• Remember if bills are pouring in and money is tight that at least you had money to create bills.
• Remember when your kids are doing the "I want game" at least you have given in the past and they feel free to dream of more then food on the table and a warm place to sleep
• Remember that when your car isn't running the way you hope that at least you have a car to be mad at
• Remember when you are cussing the cost of propane at least you have the money to heat your house

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers and please don't just eat the turkey but count your blessing and remember you to have a plenty to be thankful for!!!

Horse names??

Ok people not sure why you read my mindless dribble either because your bored or because you need a laugh but I am glad you do.....so now I need you help!!
We bought two mini horses a month ago and they STILL do not have names. We can't agree on anything so I am involving my blog buddies.

This is the baby and she is a blue/gray color very cute!!

This is momma and we think that she is expecting!! If it is easier for you to send me an e-mail then to contact on this blog send it to one2winit@yahoo.com if I have enough suggestion I may have to make it a contest so think people think

It is ok to....

• It is OK to have a different opinion, but if you can't disagree without getting mad then keep it to yourself
• It is OK to be a strong women it doesn't make you a bitch
• It is OK to make a mistake they are the way we learn
• It is OK to eat the entire personal container of bunny tracks ice cream, you will not go to hell
• It is OK to take a sick day and then go get a massage, that is health care, take care of the stress
• It is OK to be frustrated with your children, they don't come with instruction manuals
• It is OK to not "love" your job everyday, it is not OK to not "like" your job everyday
• It is OK to say NO (still working on this)
• It is OK to refuse to cook supper, clean house, do dishes (not long term but sometimes)

If you have other things that it is OK to do let me know, I think to often we get frustrated with all the things we "can't" do such as be superwomen, keep the perfect house, be the perfect parent etc...that we forget it is OK to take time for ourselves.

Country girls life

How does a country girl spend a Saturday afternoon? Apparently laying on the hood of a truck soaking up the sun and watching the building loading activities.


We are in the process of moving this shed to our house this is the men in my life trying to figure out how to get the frame that they built on the trailer under the shed. I will update you with pictures of the final placement of the shed.

Halloween 08

This is my Halloween follow up, we had a blast. The picture below is of my friend and her son being scared by a creepy man that was having way to much fun with Halloween.

Then there is my adorable husband and my very cute and nerdy looking daughter

My daughter dressed up as a gangster and went with her friends for the night, she is not the most threatening looking "punk" she is just to cute!! I wish I had a picture of my son for this blog but he was handing out candy to the little kids and didn't dress up.

I hope you all had a great Halloween and made plenty of memories, I am glad that the Nebraska family got to join us in Kansas it was great to see you, come back soon!!
