Another birthday.

Today is my son's 18th birthday!

I can't tell you how hard that is to comprehend. Just like the rest of you, I feel like he should be around 6 yrs old...lol.

I want to say how proud I am of him and that he's growing into a wonderful young man! I love you son!

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TYLER!

Enjoy your weekend!

July 4th Weekend

I  know, I know...I said I was going to blog more. I love reading so many other blogs but can't keep      mine updated. We shall see if I do better.

Bought this little beauty for myself this past week. I love it so far but still have so much to figure out. My son has had an iphone for a few months,  so he has been my tutor...thank you Tyler!

I had a great 4th holiday with my family, always lots of good food and company.

The weather has been horribly hot here in NE Oklahoma. Trying to enjoy the rest of our summer break. Hope everyone is having a great summer!

More Snow

Okay, getting tired of the snow. Today was the first time I have been out of the house since Monday. Too bad my only outting was to Walmart...lol. We normally don't get this much snow in Oklahoma but looks like more in the next week or so. Maybe we can survive being cooped up a little longer.

Just tried Paula Deen's Snow Ice Cream recipe, it was wonderful!

Enjoy your weekend!

So much for blogging more in 2010

Hello everyone, looks like I haven't blogged since last January of 2010...I had good intentions...lol. The weather here in Oklahoma is bitterly cold, temps have been below 0 which isn't that common here. This is the third day of missing school and tomorow has already been canceled. I am starting to get cabin fever, hopefully I can get out of the house the next day or two. I think the animals are even tired of the snow and cold temps.

Of course, being stuck at home makes me want to cook and who can cook without eating...so much for that diet plan. I love watching the food network and everything looks delicious.

Happy Day!

Above 32 degrees!

Today has been the warmest day around here in a while and I will take it!!! The weather the next few days looks wonderful. Anyhoo...lol.

I have been trying to get myself motivated to craft and organize, you know...all those new year's resolutions we have all made. For one thing, the Christmas cards we receive each year. It's hard to just trash those knowing someone took the time to send them out. Take a look at Stephanie's blog for a simple but creative use for our old cards. I just ran across her blog today and I am so glad I did.

Of course, I had to make a Hobby Lobby run yesterday, especially when there is a 40% off coupon ready to use. I keep telling myself I need to get my craft/scrap booking supplies organized better before I buy MORE...that concept really needs to kick in.

I had to get this matted picture when I saw it yesterday. It says "Life is Short - Enjoy the Ride."

Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend!

BRRR!...It's cold out there!

We got two days of school in and missed again today. Last night it was snowing some but the temp and wind chill has been the major problem. I know alot of local schools just don't want the students to be out in the extreme cold so they have canceled the rest of the week. I know there are places with much colder temps and conditions so I am grateful because it could be so much worse. I think we only had one snow day built into our school calendar so these are days we will have to make up at some point.

This is Tiger, which is normally an outside cat. She has been in the house the last couple of days because of the cold temps.

This is Jade, which is a house cat for the most part. She and Tiger don't really like each other, so as you can imagine the growls and snarls that have been going on...lol.
I hope everyone stays warm and toasty today!!

Snow Day!

Today was supposed to be our first day back to school from Christmas Break but the weather had different plans for us. It was blowing some flurries around yesterday but evidently had more wet drizzle than I realized. With the cold temps, the drizzle turned into ice so needless to say...we didn't make it to school today. Speaking of weather, it's supposed to be like 0 degrees by the end of the week...BRRRR!!!! I hate it for the animals that have to stay outside. I am hoping spring will come early around here.

Enjoy your Tuesday!
