Snowing in Cumberland ...

Just when we thought that it was going to be Spring time weather!! NOT!! When I left for work this morning @ 5:50 am, the snow was coming down. My truck was covered with snow. Heather emailed me and said that it was still coming down pretty good. I hope this cold weather doesn't last long. I want to be able to work in the yard, leave my windows open, & play ball with the children in the yard.

I will keep praying & keep my fingers crossed that it happens real soon!! :)

Have a great day and weekend!! :)

March Madness Coming

Hello all! Well Sunday is coming closer and closer. My baby, Kami, is going to be 7 years old. She has grown up a lot these past few months. She is getting taller and taller. She is the most lovable child I know. She always wants to give hugs and kisses. She always tells you she loves you. She has no problem expressing her feelings with everyone. If she loves you, she lets you know. That is one thing that I truly love about her. She is genuine. If you make her mad she lets you know too. LOL!

Sunday is the start of my crazy month. Not only is Kami's birthday in March. ALL 3 of my children's birthday's are in March. Kami's birthday is on the 15th, Taylor's birthday is on the 17th, and Chase's birthday is on the 30th. (What can I say, Ronnie and I like June/July) We are having a birthday party for them on the 28th at my house. It should be really fun!

AWESOME WEEKEND

We had a really busy weekend. Friday after the children got off the bus, we went to Montpelier to meet my sister to drop off Taylor and for me to get Kaila. The girls had so much fun! Friday was all about driving really because it takes me an hour to get to Montpelier from my house. Then Saturday, my Dad called and said that he was going to be in Virginia around 8pm or so. So, for my sister's and I to see my Dad, we were all playing phone tag and trying to get a game plan down. We decided to go to my sister Theresa's camp ground. It was an awesome weekend for it. Ronnie and I left our house around 3:30 pm to meet my sister Katina in Montpelier to get her kids and truck. Katina and Chip had plans with Daryl, Abbie, Betsy, and Jon to ride their bikes to dinner for Betsy's birthday. So, I had to drive Katina's truck so she would have a vehicle the next day to get the kids home. On the way to the camp ground we stopped by my mom's house because she was going to babysit Hershey for the night. Well she ended up keeping Hailey too. Hailey was feeling a little under the weather.

So we left there and headed to the campground. I was so excited and anxious to get there to see my sister Theresa and then eventually see my Dad. I don't get to see either of them as much as I would like to. We arrived at the campground and was greeted by big hugs from Theresa and Kaylee. I can't believe how much Kaylee and Drew have grown. Katina and Chip arrived about 3 minutes before my Dad and his friend John arrived at the campground. Katina pretty much just got off the bike and got in Theresa's truck so we could meet Dad in front of the campground. Theresa and I were watching Dad park his truck and we both said, I feel like a little kid. You know how you get those butterflies in your stomach because you are happy to see someone. That is how it is when I see my Dad. I don't get to see him that often. We usually only see him once a year in the summer, so this weekend was nice. We all had a good time Saturday night staying up talking and laughing. We did a lot of laughing! :) The kids were happy to see their Pap Paw. Dad enjoyed seeing everyone. I loved spending time with my sister Theresa too. When her and I are together all we do is laugh. Dad calls us his giggle boxes. I don't get to see Theresa that much either. We usually see each other maybe 2 times a year. I told her that we are going to have to start seeing each other more! I am very proud of her, she is going back to school to get her Teacher's Degree! She is an awesome sister!! :) Love you sis!! :)

Sunday, we went to mom's for a cookout for her birthday. We had a nice time there as well. With the time change, I was so off whack. I was so tired. We finally got home around 8pm. I still had to cook dinner and do my other mommy things. Thank goodness my mom made Kami get a bath before we left her house. Taylor and Chase took showers while I was making dinner. Ronnie was doing his Daddy things. I finally was able to go to sleep around 11pm.

Well, I hope everyone has an awesome week!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

Today is my mom's birthday! She is 55 years old! I know she will not get mad that I put her age out there like that. She isn't a shy person! LOL! On Sunday, Katina and I are going to my mom's house for a cook out to celebrate her birthday. I am really excited about that because it is going to be nice with everyone together. The weather is suppose to be AWESOME! I wish Sunday was already here!! LOL!

Today after work, I have to get the children off the bus because Heather is off today. Baylie has a couple of doctor's appointments today. Once I get the children off the bus, we are heading to Katina's. Taylor is going to spend the night with Katina tonight and Saturday night. I am bringing home Kaila with me. Kami is soooo excited about Kaila spending the weekend with us. I am glad too, I really do love spending time with my niece's. I honestly can't wait to have Jessie and Hailey too. If everything works out the way I hope that it does, I will be able to see them everyday and they can visit me as much as they want.

Taylor and Jessie's horse show has been rescheduled until 3/29/09. I am bummed that it keeps getting moved back, but I totally understand why it does. This just gives the girls more riding time.

Well, I hope everyone has a nice Friday!! :)

Wednesday ....

Well the children are still out of school. They went to Heather's today so I could go to work. They were really excited to play with their friends. Chase especially because since he started the After School program at school, he only sees Lane 2 days a week. Poor Chase! We couldn't find Chase's snow boots so, the poor guy is wearing girl boots. He didn't want to wear them to Heather's because Lane would see them. I said well, I am sorry but if you don't wear them then you will not be able to go outside and play. He said, I will wear them. Lane will not pick on me. He is my buddy! I said that's right. LOL!

Well, everyone have a nice Wednesday!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THERESA!!

Today is my sister Theresa's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I miss you and Love you!

Snow

The snow is beautiful! We received about a foot of snow in our neck of the woods. Last night the lights kept on flickering and finally the electricity gave out. We lost power about 10:00. We packed our bags and headed to Violet's house. We got to Violet's around 1am. We have trees down all over our road. We tried to go one way and we couldn't even get by all the trees. We had to turn around and go another way. It was a long drive to Chesterfield. We made it though.

Poor Hershey! When Ronnie took him outside to go to the bathroom, we lost him in the snow. It was funny! Ronnie scooped him up and carried him to a place that he could go to the bathroom. I wish I had my camera to take pictures. We were in such a rush to get to Violet's that the children didn't pack any of their snow clothes. We will figure something out for them to use. You have to play in the snow. It isn't often that we get this kind of snow. :)

Hope everyone enjoys the snow! Stay warm and cozy!!



Oh! Taylor's horse show has been postponed until 3/8/09 due to the weather. If anything changes, I will update you.
