Wedding anniversary

We are going to Missouri this weekend to celebrate my hubby's parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Can't believe it is here already. They are having a get together at their house tomorrow. There are to be about 100 people there. We are also going to meet some more Forees. My hubby loves geneology and he met up with more Forees and invited them to the reunion. He is thrilled to meet more family b/c there are not too many Forees out there.
Will add pictures later after the get together. (if my camera will keep up) It is getting old. May have to take pictures on my phone. It seems to do better these days.
Raining today so hopefully it will quit before we have to travel. Have a great weekend all.

happy Fourth of July

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July. I just can't believe it is that time of year already. It has gone by way too quick. We are not doing much this weekend. Just staying around the house doing work on the stairs. We took the carpet off last weekend and now have to sand it down and stain it. Takes a while to do projects when all u do is work.
Enjoy the weekend.

Gone too long

Wow!!! It's been a long time since i blogged. Seems like everything else takes place over it lately. Today is my birthday. Not telling how old. Just guess if u have too.:)
We have been very busy this summer,as usual. Our oldest daughter is a camp counselor at the Bill Rice Ranch. She is doing well. We went down there last week and visited with her as much as we could. Then we went to Georgia to visit with my parents and grandparents and my sisters family. We had a lot of fun.
Right now my family is making a big chocolate chip cookie for my birthday. Smells good in here hehe:) I know we don't need the cookie,but it sounded sooooooooo good.Hey, it's my birthday right? :)
This week is Junior camp for Ricky. He leaves tomorrow afternoon. They are going to Camp Joy in Wisconsin. He ought to have fun. Next week is Teen camp but they are going to Northland Camp which is also in Wisconsin but a LOT longer drive.
Hope u all have a great week. We are going to enjoy the nice weather today.

We have had some good news lately with our kids. Our oldest daughter was made prayer captain of her dorm room for next year. This is a great honor. That means they have seen leadership abilities from her and we are very proud of her.
Our youngest daughter just found out she made it to vocal jazz. This is a singing group at their high school. She is so excited. She is going to be very busy this next year. This group requires a lot of work and practices. We even had to sign a paper saying we wouldn't be gone certain days of the year. They really take this seriously.
My best thing that has happened this week is we got a replacement dryer!!!!!!!!!! You don't realize how bad we have needed a dryer for about a month now. With a family of 6 you cannot go very long w/o it. I can't wait until tonight to get it hooked up and get caught up on laundry again!!!!! Funny how u get excited about small things huh? Guess we take those things for granted.
Have a great day. I am going to enjoy the warm weather while it is here!!! Upper 60's today.

Spring time

Not too much to blog about lately. The kids were on spring break last week and it was cold and rainy most of the week. The two older girls were out of the state. Our oldest was on the east coast with the band tour from school and our next daughter was on the west coast enjoying the warm weather. My hubby was out of work last week b/c of his knee problem. Come to find out he has no knee cap left. It needs to be replaced but not going to happen any time soon b/c of no extra help while he is off. So guess he will get cortizone shots to keep going.
This week hubby had his wisdom tooth pulled. Still don't understand why we have those teeth. They don't add extra wisdom and they usually need to be pulled. He is relaxing today with antibiotics and pain medication. Should feel pretty good right now. Ha :)
It is a rainy icky day today. Should be a good nap day for the kids...I am hoping.
Hope u all are enjoying your spring. Sunshine and warm weather are on their way.

Too much sickness

I am so ready for spring to get here so we can open the windows and get rid of these germs that are making everyone sick. Our oldest daughter has been home all week b/c of the virus that is going around campus. She will hopefully be able to go back this weekend. The high school has told us that they have been sending 10-15 kids home every day b/c of this virus. We just need some warm weather here!!!!
We are having a thunderstorm today. It reminds us of warmer weather:) I love thunderstorms if they aren't too bad :) Most of the snow is gone now. Yeah!!!! Hope we don't have any more big snowstorms. Next week is daylight savings time and soon it will be warmer. We made it through yet another winter-well almost.
Hope everyone is staying well.
