Woo to the Hoo Wednesday

Blogging just hasn't been my thing lately. Not sure why, but I haven't felt like boring you with my NOT exciting, mundane life. I could have told you about my hubs wrecked car, or my little Nieci who has cherry eye in both eyes, or my daughter telling me her favorite show is CSI or Jake telling me he now wants to be a Policeman.....sigh.....but I didn't cuz I still want you all to be my friends....I need you.....

So, I decided to post a WTTH post. Cuz it's quick, easy and painless....and might be just a little boring?

Here's my WTTH post for this week!

I ♥ Lime Coke from Sonic! It can't be from anywhere else! Not even DQ....they try but it doesn't quite cut it. I know I've got some girlz out there (my BFF's) who feel the same way! You know who you are!

If you haven't tried one, run, now to your nearest Sonic!!!


I can't believe I just wasted my time and yours on Lime Coke from Sonic....Hee hee...is anyone out there? Are you still reading this....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I ♥ Faces...Wonder

I love this website...I ♥ Faces...I entered the contest this week for "Wonder".

This is my daughter Maeci meeting her new baby cousin, The Boy, for the first time.



Now, click on the link above and enter your cute photo! : )

Hugs!!

Wordless Wednesday...My Babies...Maeci & Nieci

Hugs!

Hi sweet friends! I just wanted to apologize for being an awful bloggy friend!!! I haven't commented on several of your blogs for so so long!

Please don't be mad and if you are mad, just don't tell me! I'm an emotional person but pretty good about holding it in. If I suspect you all might be upset, it could throw me over the edge and in turn would make me weepeth. I would rather not cry because I don't do well with snot AT ALL! Just keepin it real.

So, I'm sorry, I will hopefully be back soon when I have something worth blogging about and when I can sit and catch up with each of your lives! Just didn't want any of you to think I've forgotten about our virtual friendships! It's so funny, we've never met but I think about you all the time!


Hugs!!! xoxo

Woo to the Hoo Wednesday

We're here to say goodbye to a cherished friend: Reba, the hamster. Reba was a good hamster. She was a fine listener, always willing to put a smile on the face of my little Moo. (Even though she made it hard to sleep at night with her gnawing on the sides of the cage and running a marathon on that squeaky wheel)....she will be sadly missed. (I won't miss cleaning that cage!) Moo would put her in her little hamster ball and let her roam around....the cat loved that...said with EVIL laugh!

So...Reba, the hamster was laid to rest this morning. Well, not really, she's laying very still in her cage which is still in my daughters room because I couldn't bring myself to carry her downstairs out to to the garage.

So...I sent a text to Mr. Mom and told him to PLEASE have the hamster G.O.N.E. when I get home. I loved that little rodent and didn't mind holding her but seeing her laying there made me sick....cuz now she's just a rodent. Ugh! I know that sounds harsh but I'm just keepin' it real.

Anyway....Reba is gone...Moo was sad for a moment this morning but she's one that takes death very easy. I'm not sure why. She doesn't cry, she wants to talk about it but doesn't really get upset.

I wish I had a picture to share with you all but I don't. Just close your eyes and think "fat fuzzy teddy bear hamster"....there, can you see her?

So, my Woo to the Hoo goes to Reba for keeping Moo critter happy for almost a year! I'm going to make myself clear right now...are you listening.....WE ARE NOT GETTING ANOTHER ONE!

My Grandpa!!! My sister, Sheli, did a wonderful tribute to our Grandmother yesterday. If you haven't read it, you should, but make sure you have kleenex or a sleeve...you'll need it. So..I thought I would give my Woo to the Hoo button to my Papa for taking care of our Grandma.

Ray, aka Papa, is kind, gentle, patient (although that is being tested these days), hard working, loving, heart of gold, honest, positive...I could go on and on. He taught me (all of us) to have love in our hearts for all, he taught us to pray and to have faith in God, to work hard, be responsible for your actions and always be honest and kind and "don't sweat the small stuff". Every day is a beautiful day to Papa and he always tells us (when we are on the phone with him) that we are "lookin' good"! And there's nothin' better than getting a Papa pat on the back....he pats your back and says "I appreciate you dear"...sigh...I love him.

I (we) all love him so much for who he is and for how he is taking care of our Grandma, aka GiGi, Granny. Their life together is a TRUE love story from beginning to end. Grandma has dementia and is not doing so well these days. She still has spunk and we can still make her giggle (which I love!) and she has so much love for her family! And, the most beautiful blue eyes you've ever seen!

Ok, back to Papa...he has given Grandma the best care. It is clear how deep their love is when he looks at her. He still tells her she's beautiful, tells her he loves her all the time, hugs, pats, opens doors, helps her eat and so many other personal things.

So, Woo to the Hoo to Papa for his loving care!!!

Love you, Papa!!!

Snow Day and a Thankful Thursday!

Please please please pray!!! My friend Nicole's daughter was admitted to the hospital tonight with RSV, my friend Feather's niece is in the hospital with RSV and Bart Millard's (Mercy Me) daughter Sophie is also in the hospital with RSV! All three baby's are not doing well and need our prayers!! I know there are some awesome prayer warriors out there!! Thank you in advance!!!


What do you do when you get a snow day??? Play in the snow of course! And if you have a really cool big brother, you get a really big mound of snow AND a ramp right in your backyard!!!

This is the cool big brother who made the mound and the ramp...

He looks a little disgusted but I thing he was just frozen.

It took quite awhile to build this masterpiece.

This is the cool mound of snow and

ramp that the cool big brother made for his little sis...

Do you realize how many times I heard "Watch me Mom", "Watch this", "Wait, watch this one"...

I was frrreeezzziiiinnnggg brrrrrrrrr...

But you know it was worth it...not really...ok maybe a little..but it was still cold.....

Can you see that it was dark out?

I had a hard time getting her in the house!

Side note: Isn't it cool how the camera captured the snowflakes?
I thought so too!


The End

So, the Thankful Thursday part of this is....How awesome is it to have a brother that is almost 9 yrs. older (18 next week!) take the time to do this for you and your friends?! I'm thankful that they get along, most of the time and that he chose to do this for her AND enjoyed every minute of it! I know Moo is thankful...you should have seen the smile! There's that smile again! : )

I love it!

I hope everyone that had snow days, had fun!!!


Love you all!

Wordless Wednesday

My sister, Sheli, is blogging!!!

Good grief, it's about time!!! She couldn't take the pressure! You all will love her just as much as I do (hmmm...did I just type that?). She's a pain in the bu...side but she's fun! So, please, please, please follow her blog or she'll cry and snot everywhere and I just can't take that! Not that I will feel sorry for her or anything, I just don't like snot!

Keli & Sheli = Skeli



You can find her here - www.whileiamwaiting423.blogspot.com

You gals & guys are the best!!! xoxoxo

Can we get a puppy????

NO NO NO NO and gee let me think....NO! These words were repeated several times for several months by Jay, my hubby, the Dad, Mr. Mom, the Man of House, etc. And who can deny me my birthday present from my Dad????

Guess what????? Meet Nieci....
He gave in!

She's supposed to be part Jack Russell and part Toy Terrier. Not thinkin that's what she is...we think she's part Min Pin, if not all. She weighs 6.2 oz and is so little. But, in the end, it doesn't matter, she needed a home and a loving family.

She is sooo loveable, cute, sweet and is adjusting so well! And did I mention that she has not barked at all?! She cried for a couple seconds when I put her in her bed but she was out like a light in no time. She had her first Vet visit on our way home from picking her up. I will blog about that this week...you know we took pictures! : )



And after, "I don't want nothin to do with her!" BAHWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He loves her!!! He's not so tough deep inside! There's a heart in there and she found it on the first day.



Love at first sight!!!




Oh, and one last thing...she's not a dog...she's a baby. My baby. She will have all girlie things, including a girlie leash and collar....I love her. I wonder if she will like to shop...hmmmm...



I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!!! xoxo

The Seniors Won!

My son, Jake #3, is a Senior this year and the Seniors play the Faculty every year in basketball game. All proceeds benefited Riley Hospital for Children! How cool is that??

For the last 12 years the Faculty have been the big winners! But guess what???? Not this year! Nope!! The Seniors won!!! What an awesome memory for Jake to look back on!

And the game itself? HI LARRY US! The Seniors wore the "old school" uniforms from decades ago..hee hee! And the Senior boys who are on the "real" varsity team were the coaches! They decided to dress up...scary. I have a few shots. Some of these picture were taken by one of the teachers, this #1 Mom, forgot her camera! I was not happy! And some were taken with my trusty ol' Blackberry.

Home-Seniors/Guest-Faculty

It was an awesome game and fun family time!

Have a wonderful weekend sweet friends!!! xoxo
