Allison, Kaitlyn, Teresa, Ellie & Reanna (left to right)Today is my sweet hubby's birthday! He is 65 today and I am having a hard time realizing that we have reached this point together! In my minds eye we are both still in our 30's with our young family and all of life still ahead of us. The years have totally flown by.
So, I just want to say that the years we have had together have been, without a doubt, the absolute best in my life. I hope you have a great birthday Michael and many, many more to come.
Just as a side note you know how people always say that life can change in just a second...yesterday Michael's boss had an accident in the truck that Michael drives fairly often. It just makes you stop and think how quick something could happen...luckily Lane wasn't hurt badly, some burns and glass in his face. I am thankful that Michael did not have that truck yesterday, and I am thankful that Lane will be OK...he and his wife just had a brand new baby!

utters! Almost c
artoonish! Ha ha!
So, I kept thinking that there had to be something in my car that they wanted...I couldn't imagine them bashing the window just for fun....well, it finally came to me! I had received my latest shipment from Tassimo (my coffee/hot chocolate machine)...and that was sitting on my back seat! So with a $2,000 computer in the trunk and a pile of money for the bank they got away with a box of chocolate syrup! I hope they enjoyed it!
So I wake up Sunday morning ready to enjoy a day with my scrapbook buddies...I look out my bedroom window to get a look at the early summer morning, birds are singing, flowers are blooming and this is what I see!
Someone has bashed in my car window! Nothing was taken, the doors weren't even unlocked! The police wondered if something scared them off....
It could have been so much worse and I have learned a valuable lesson! In my trunk was my $2,000 laptop that has my complete book store inventory, and business on it...plus my weeks deposit was in the trunk! I was absolutely sick to my stomach until I found everything still there!
We installed sensor lights on the garage last night and I will never...repeat NEVER leave things in my car again!
Reanna.....what can I say? Such a pretty, sweet, wonderful 17 year old with such an attitude!
Jake is now 15 and loves to race motorcycles off road. 
Allison is now 9 years old. She is my little crafty girl...loves to scrapbook and make cards. She even taught me how to make a pop-up card!
Wyatt & Ellie....they both love each other so much! When Ellie walks in to the room Wyatt's face just lights up and Ellie always hurries over to him to give him a hug! How stinkin' precious is that?
Ellie is so in love with Butch...she follows him all over the yard and whenever possible leans in to give him hugs & kisses!
So, with all the things around me that make me smile it's pretty silly to let myself get down at all, right? I gotta keep that in mind and remember how wonderful a simple life can be with such wonderful people in it.
