Meet Bulldog

This is Bulldog. He is 3 weeks old and his name does him justice!!
Bubby just absolutely loves cattle of any kind. Well, he has his favorites. He is very good with his responsibilities. He is up at 5:30 am getting ready for school and to go feed his calves. This makes him 5 now. And, he has paid for them all by himself!!!!!!! He takes pride in everything he does, but his calves are his top priority. We are so proud of him!

A Fun Tag

I have been tagged by Jacquie at Middle of Eleven. The rules are to open the fifth folder then open your fifth photo. Post the photo and describe it, then tag 5 more people.

This photo was taken at Turkey Trot 2007. It includes my sister, Megan, my nephew, Lucas, my Bubby, and me. It was the first time we took the boys to something together. Low and behold it was the parade. It was so sweet watching Marcus trying to explain to Lucas what was going on. Lucas was only 4 months old and Marcus was 6. We have soo much fun taking the boys to stuff and watching their expressions especially since Lucas is getting older.

I tag anyone who wishes to do this.....it is fun!!!! I always love looking back at all of my pictures.

McAlester Day 3

Today was our last day of classes. I have learned a lot and just refreshed on a lot of it too. It is amazing to me that some of these people that have only worked in this business for a few months think that they know all of the ropes and everything to it. Well, guess what?? You always learn something new each day. It doesn't matter how long you have done it or not!!
Here was our class. There were 5 from Texas, 1 from California, 1 from Georgia, and us 2 from Arkansas. Our 2 instructors were also from Arkansas. I really enjoyed this class and I can now say that I am a Certified Franklin Tech!!!!! Yea, how many women can say that 3 times fast?!!!
We left in the afternoon for our trek back to home. Yes, I could here my recliner, let alone my washer, calling my name!! HA! We took a different route home than the way we came. No, we didn't stop at any casinos because we just wanted to get back. The only stop we made was at Sam's. You cannot pass up that place!! We are home safe and had a great time. It will be frigid temperatures tomorrow. They say in the wind chill it will be -10*. They even have freeze warnings out for hypothermea. So, if you are out tomorrow like we will be, wear plenty of clothes and make sure you go where it is warm as much as possible. Note: my truck will stay running at all times because I will be sitting in it 99.9% of the time!!! HA!!!!!

Surgery

I received the sweetest card the other day from all of my nurses that helped take care of me on Monday. I had some minor surgery on Monday, but I am doing a lot better now. I also received a phone call from my recovery nurse Wed. to check on me. I just thought that was soo sweet. I really tried hard to tell everyone that came in or out of my rooms "Thank You". And some of them just looked at me so funny and the more I thought about it I realized that you know they probably don't hear that very often. But after it went thru their head that I really had said "Thank You" they had a big smile on their faces and I was glad. I am glad that it is all over and ready to move on. Donald stayed with me and he is just the sweetest husband anyone could ask for. I am glad that GOD put us together. Well, since I am better, Marcus wants a "date night" tomorrow. So, guess where we are going??? To the drive-in to see Marley and Me. I can't wait.

Morris Christmas

On New Year's Day, we had our Morris Christmas. Yes, we are unusual but that is the day we always have it. Granny Lorean came and joined n on the eating and the fun. She laughed the whole time and really enjoyed watching the boys play.

Marcus, Cameron, and Carson enjoying their gifts. These boys had the best time together. They ate, opened all their presents, and watched Kung Fu Panda.

My sweet brother-in-law, Ronald got a good joke pulled on him....by me!!! I mow their yard and he is always aggravating me saying he needs a picture of his "lawn girl" to show the guys he works with. It is a standing joke. So, I found this amazing picture of his lawn girl!!!!! He was tickled pink as you can see by the color of his face!Rena and Brenda were in deep thought about something!!

We had a blast and can't wait until next year!!! The food was great and I didn't get to bring anything home with me. :( I am glad everyone enjoyed themselves!!
