"My Favorite Christmas Ever"

This year Christmas was hard on the check book, so my kids didn't get a ton of stuff... which is good, they need to learn that they don't always get anything and everything. Jackson and Gracie were so excited when we went in and woke them up....yeah we set our alarm clock for 6:00. When I was little my Mom always woke us up early if we went already up. They opened all of their gifts and Jackson said "Mom this is my favorite Christmas ever", I was so happy!! That made my day, that shows you that they don't need a lot of things.

Have you EVER saw such a redneck??

Jackson and Gracie asked Clint to help them build a snowman, and this is what they got... poor kids. Just kiddin' they loved it, they thought it was so funny!!!

Enough is FREAKIN' enough!!!

I feel like my family has been through so much through the past ten years, we don't need anything else to happen!!

Lately it feels like everything is going so wrong, with our health, money situation, my Step Dad having a heart attack last week, and my poor Grandma that is not doing very good... not to mention my wonderful Gramps that has been taking care of her and the house... poor guy, he's getting run down. My Mom and Jay just found out that Jay's son's wife has breast cancer....COME ON!!! I just don't know if I can handle anything else!! I don't understand how some people can have such great lives, have anything, do anything, look good doing it and the rest of us just get shit on... it's not fair!!!

Oh Damn!!

Gracie has such a cute funny personality I just love it. So the other night she was putting on her pj's and she thinks that she can do everything herself... she was putting on her shirt and she kept putting it on backwards, she would take it off and it would come inside out. I would fix it for her and kept telling her that next time just turn it around But, no she would have to pull it all the way off and start over. I was laughing so hard, she was trying her best to get it on right, she tried one more time and it happened again. She took it off and realized that it was inside out again, she said "oh damn" and then handed it to me to finally help her. I won't lie, my kids have bad potty mouths. I always laugh so they think it's ok, I know it's not...but I can't help it.

THEY DID IT!!!

Eric and Ashley got married today!

They just told us on Tuesday that they were going to get married today. We were a little shocked that it was this soon, even though they have been engaged since February. They are going to Wendover tonight, so I hope that they have fun, especially with NO KIDS!!! It's funny in the last ten months Eric has gone from single to engaged, a new daddy, married, and now a step dad. I am so happy for them! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
