Toe's

The girls spent the afternoon at a friends house, and they all came home with painted toenails, even little Sage. When I saw her toe's, I remembered my mother. MIMI always had her toenails painted!

Comments!


It is so fun to get comments! Thanks! Be looking for some cool pictures (I hope). One of the houses across the street from us is scheduled to be demolished and the fire department is using it for training. Every night when they show up I grab the camara-but no fire yet. We will keep watching. Tonight we go to our first meeting on re-integrating a soldier returning from deployment. It should be very interesting.

Lyssa and the girls


I have been trying to upload video, since I can't seem to figure it out, I decided to skip it. So here is a picture of Lyssa and the girls taken at Easter time. They make our life busy!

The Army


As we look forward to Michael returning frm Iraq, I have to chuckle at how the Army works. If big coorporations were run the same way, they would be out of business in a matter of months!
In the past 30 days, we have been given 4 different dates for their return, and completely different timetables for once they are out of country! We smile, and go about our daily lives!

About Us

Forrest and I have been married for 30 Years! That is quite the accomplishment considering our begining. When we were engaged, our friends made bets on how long we would remain married. The longest bet was for 6 months. I think we did much better than that.
We have had ups and downs, but every couple does. It is how we face those ups and downs that defines a relationship!
We have 4 beautiful daughters, and one son. Michael claims that he is quite hen picked, but his sisters all love him. This has been made very evident to us this past year as he has been serving our country in Iraq!
We have 6 beautiful granddaughters and one very handsome grandson, with another grandchild due in August. They keep our life busy and exciting. With 3 grandchildren living with us, there is never a dull moment at our house.
