Happy Thanksgiving 2010

More Than A Day


As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.


We have friends and family we love;
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.


So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got;
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.

Heavy Haul Southwest Industrial Rigging

Rob has been working on these trailers for over a year. Found video on you tube, hauling back east.

Toys for Tot's BMX race

On Saturday, Robert raced a double point race at Black Mountain BMX, He won a first place trophy, Who would have thought, after having a cast on his arm, his first race back, that he would go out there and steel those kids trophy...

Unfortunately a wreck in the second race prevented him from winning again....

Roberts New Ramp

So we got this ramp for free... wow... a little bit of work and its all fixed up, he ,loves it, Caidence too, and of course all the neighborhood kids, as long as they have a note from mom or dad, I know I'm such an old lady... but I cant afford other kids broken bones, Have a Grateful day!!!

Happy Halloween

Busy...busy...busy

This week has been a busy one...I started a new job and working on setting up a new store, its allot more work than I expected, so its been kicking my butt...Also decided that I am going back to school starting in January, I have to take some pre-requisites, and that kind of has me worried. I hope I do well on the placement test, I have not been to school in 10 years, and not paying attention for 5 before that, has me a bit out of practice. I plan to attend dental school as soon as I get the first class' out of the way. I think it will be a lot of work but will pay off in the long run.. so wish me luck, I will keep studying, and head in for the placement test my next weekday off.
Have a Peaceful day...

Chesters Harley Octoberfest

There's a house upon the hilltop
We will not go inside
For that is where the witches live,
Where ghosts and goblins hide.

Tonight they have their party,
All the lights are burning bright,
But oh we will not go inside
The haunted house tonight.

The demons there are whirling
And the spirits swirl about.
They sing their songs to Halloween.
"Come join the fun," they shout.

But we do not want to go there
So we run with all our might
And oh we will not go inside
The haunted house tonight.

Reward Chart

This is Caidence's reward chart, for each good day at school, she earns a flower, on Friday, if she earns 5 flowers, she gets to pick a prize from a hat. We made reward tags, and what ever she picks she earns, for example, sleep over, movie night, pick a toy, day at the park etc.

Got some cute foam flower cut outs at the $ store, and drew faces on them.....used poster board and cut into flower pot shapes.....

Hot glued Velcro onto pot and flowers, and put the flower faces into a vase next to her bedroom.....

Is summer Over???

*****Update*****

This is what happens when we have a storm......

and the calm

Goofing off in the rain... its a big treat...

At last we finally had rain fall and cool weather, only in the 80's this week. Now the yard work can get started.. walking the dogs, and being outside, there is just no doing that in summer .... so the day has come, I'm off to go enjoy the outdoors...enjoy your day!!!

Michael Moore

I have been watching these movies a lot lately... I'm sure that they are controversial, but he makes some good points.. he talks about all sorts of things in his movies. They point out flaws in our medical, government, I'm sure some feel that he is un-American, but I really enjoy the education in these videos.
I think we all should have rights to, have medical care, make a good livable wage. Check out the trailers below... I would love to hear some comments........

Imagine....

I have always loved this song...Imagine... Imagine.... Imagine... What can you do... what can I do???? Imagine...

Bartlett Lake

On Saturday we went to Bartlett Lake for the day to hang out with some friends. I thought it would be to hot, but it was really nice... only 105 for the day... actually it was not bad......with the water to swim in we all stayed cool...

This was our view... very pretty..

Robert and Caidence stayed in the water all day... swimming and pattling around with Kyla...

The day was nice... everyone enjoyed them selves...

Look at that smile....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT

Robert celebrated his 12th birthday on Sunday, had a little party with a few friends... Remember he went to the Skate Competition....They went to the skate park and swimming... Had a good time

I originally wanted to make a ramp cake, but it kept falling apart on me,,, so he got a regular cake with a teck deck ramp and board... turned out good anyways....

At the skate park

President Obama's speech to our school kids
