Holy Smoly....I have been busy :)

OKay....I know that I have seriously neglected this blog, but I will have you know that I do that so I don't neglect my family :P Life has been crazy since I, and I say that jokingly, decided to return to work. (I was seriously mislead about the terms of the contract!!) As with anything I do I jump in with both feet then say...What the Hell just happened!! I think for the first time in my life my dad played this fact about me to his advantage! Sheesh....he is getting smart in his old age. This past week I went to three graduation ceremonies, and made two quilts. My kids were left with their dad for two days and Luca was there to supervise...LOL. I sure had fun watching my friend Angie and her daughter Jacey graduate from college and high school. I was a boob and cried....thank god for permanent make-up and eyelash extension that I was able to cry without turning into a mess. This summer is turning into a crazy summer and there are only a few short months to be completely swamped with all the projects in our plans!!! Two of which I have to pull off all by myself! I have had experience painting. Tomorrow is Memorial day and I have a hard time with it, but I know that Cadence is in heaven smiling down on Lewis and me, and probably giggling about the fact that Ryann is such a character. Wesley asks about her still and I know that he loved her before she was born, because that is just who that kid is. Tomorrow we will visit her grave and place the flowers and release the balloons....and even after that we will continue to love her and think of her often. Hopefully I will be able to get a day off here and there and catch up on all the other things that I am falling behind on.

Forgot I had a blog... ;)

Not really...just been real busy with life and other stuff. :) I took a photography class this past month and I am hoping that I can remember all that I learned about it. Short term brain damage may inhibit this, but I can always hope. I went back to work....temporarily for my mom to have surgery and I think she up and retired on me!!!! So I have obligations to the Family Business....which will lead me into an early straight jacket! I do however have big plans for the added income so here is hoping that it all works out. We are braving adding onto our house doing 95-96% of the work ourselves. I am hoping that I can keep my mouth shut during this LONG process so I can remain married. I hear that building a house or any major construction project can really put the screws to your relationship. I am so happy that mine is ROCK SOLID (I would add rolling eyes emoticon, but I don't know how to do that one). I informed the troops (our kids) that they were going to be enduring a diet of mac and cheese and ramen for the next 4-5 years so we can make our dreams possible....with my cooking skills they were not complaining about that one!! Way to take one for the team! Maybe though out the whole thing we will be able to finish all the other abandoned projects and finally have a house that we totally enjoy....but then we will probably have to move or something. :) With my new camera skills you'd think I'd have pics to post, but I am kind and will spare you all the pics of my back yard with all its dog poo glory....and at the moment it just looks like Lewis has dug me a shallow grave. (which I nearly fell backwards into....how convenient!) When we move onto the next step I will post much more exciting pics :)

I am posting irrelevant pictures that I missed these past few months...enjoy :)
