Happy Birthday Honey!!

Today my wonderful husband turned 51 and even though we didn’t get to spend the day like we had planned.  We tried to make the best of a rainy miserable day.  I’m sorry honey that your birthday was a miserable day for you.  Know that I love you and I am thankful for blessing you are to me.  I love you!

We’ve been busy with grand kids and lots of stressful issues in our lives.  As you know our travel days have been put on hold and we are dealing with a lot of family issues.  Hubby and I ask that you all pray for our family as we are in a time of need for as much pray as possible.  I know that my Lord and Savior is with us and there are times we have to learn to not lean on our understanding but his.  It’s very hard but we have a strong faith and we know that Jesus promises to protect us and those that we love.

We had a few beautiful days and then the cold returned and now the past few days it’s been rain.  We’ve been struggling with sleep issues and of course when we both get stressed out our health issues flare up. 

Please continue to pray for us and know that it means so much for all the love and support our family and friends are giving us.

Happy Birthday Toby John!!

We have a birthday boy!  Tomorrow is actually Toby’s birthday but since his daddy had him today we celebrated it today.

Instead of a cake this year we did something different.  We had angry birds cupcakes and they were a hit.  Toby ate 3 of them!

We had a great time although it was too cold to take the kids fishing, but we did spend some time outside and Toby got the presents he wanted!

Hailey and Toby showing off their new hats!  Yes both my precious jewels loves hats.  Before we knew it our time was over and they had to return back to their mom.

Sick again!!

The grand kids went home around noon and I just kept feeling worse.  Sore throat, stuffy nose, aching all over, running a fever and my ears hurt.  Ughh I’m sick of being sick! 

It was a afternoon/evening spent mostly in bed .. sure hope I get to feeling better soon.  Spring is on the way and I’m ready to get outside and get some sunshine and fresh air.

For now I’m going to be trying to get over this junk.

Happy Easter!

We enjoyed our first Easter meal at my dad’s house.  It was just us and our 2 boys this year.  It’s been a long time since it’s been just the 4 of us for a holiday dinner.  It was great.  I broke the tradition and made the boys favorite .. chili

After a beautiful day it was time to pick up the grand kids so they could spend the night with Grammy and Papa at the camper.  

 

Wishing you all a blessed day and may you take a moment to thank Jesus Christ our Savior for all he endured for us.  Thank you Jesus .. I love you for all you sacrificed for me and the world.

Spring Break with the Grand kids

Tuesday I headed to watch the kids and Hailey came home with me and on Wednesday Toby joined his sister after his doctor appointment.  He got a shorter cast put on his arm.

Hailey and I had ladies night out and we went to DQ for dinner.  Just her and Grammy and we had a blast.

She enjoyed showing Grammy all the fun stuff in the play room

While Toby and Papa had fun at the camper

while Hailey and Grammy went swimming in the indoor pool

wore out Grand kids and grandparents too

On Saturday we headed to Jerseyville for the Easter Egg hunt.  Although the kids were disappointed because of the snow storm the week before it was canceled do to the field being to muddy.

it was back to the house to find that the Easter Bunny left some good things at their dad’s place

our cute little bunnies …

they got bubbles too and the kids didn’t find it too cold to play .. although grammy and papa did!

before we knew 4 days flew by and it was time for the kids to go home with their mom.  We had a great time but now Papa and Grammy need some R & R time

Mother Nature blasting the North!

Yesterday was the calm before the storm .. this morning the snow started coming down

and it just kept on coming down

and coming down .. the wind is blowing and it’s a white out .. hmm

Mother nature seems to have forgotten that it’s spring!

Flu Bug!

I have had the flu bug all week long!  I thought on Wednesday I was feeling better but that afternoon it came back with a vengeance.  Finally on Friday I woke up feeling better and I think it’s safe to say I have gotten rid of that pesky bug!  Hubby on the hand came down with it Friday morning and so it’s looking to be another ruff week around here.

Since I had been sick all week long and hubby I now down with it we had to cancel getting the grand kids.  Their spending the weekend with their dad at the house and were staying in the camper.

Today temps were in the 50’s!  It felt like a heat wave and even enjoyed a bit of time out in the sunshine!  Of course it’s the calm before the storm as they are predicting a winter storm warning where we could get up to as much as 8-10 inches of snow!

That ground hog flat out lied!  I guess one thing about cold temps .. it’s make a day like today feel good.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
