Good knowledge to have in case you are ever pursued by a crocodile!! I can barely run not alone in a zigzag!!

The crocodile is surprisingly fast on land. If pursued by a crocodile, a person should run in a zigzag motion, for the crocodile has little or no ability to make sudden changes of direction.

Thanksgiving 2009

Last month was Lee's birthday , Oct. 21st. Jessica and I were driving over to the cemetary to visit Lee's gravesite. Jessica said, Mom I can't wait any longer!! Can I give you your Christmas present early? So I said sure. She had my blog printed off for me in a book form. I LOVE it!! It is so neat. I started my blog Oct. 22 2008, so its a years worth of journaling with great pictures! Thank you Jessica, I love you so much, you are so thoughtful!!

I picked Courtney up from school yesterday. As we were driving home she said, "My dad doesn't like malls, he says there is too many girl things at malls, so when its Fathers Day me and my mom go to Cabellas and when its mothers day me and my dad go to the mall to get her perfume. I took Courtney to Walmart yesterday and she asked me if I would buy her a toy. I said, you have so many toys, how many do you have? She said, oh about 100 but I need one more! She picked out a 65 dollar toy and said Grandma do you have 65 dollars I said no I need a husband for those kind of toys, she said, you do, Lee is your husband! Oh great help!!

I just talked to Audrey (age 4) on the phone. I told her that she is going to love what I got her for Christmas. She said, just tell me, I will forget!!

Our little Sun Devil!!

Lastnight I came into the office and left Carlee in the front room. It got way to quiet so i walked into the kitchen Carlee had a cup and was putting water in it from our 5 gallon water dispenser. Except she didn't stop pushing the button when the cup was full so needless to say I had cold water everywhere! When I walked in she was saying Oh no Oh no Oh no over and over again!! It was so funny!

My funny mom!

This morning I was taking my mom to get her blood test. She started laughing and said, look at that billboard!! The billboard had this really ugly guy on it and it said I'm available and so is this billboard!! I said to my mom, oh that would be sad to get a job because you were so ugly. She said well, ugly people have to work too I guess!! The way she said it was hillarious!!!

My front room at 6870

This is my front room that I love so much! But I have to move back to my other house, I hope it all fits!!

Some Halloween Fun!

Lee I am really missing you today. I love you! I just read Jessica's blog it made me cry she is so sweet! You were so good to me and my kids. I know I was the love of your life and you made me feel that way. I miss you calling me Kid and saying I love you babe. I know you are ok,it must be beautiful in heaven. Carlee still calls out for you. Courtney says she misses you as we all do. The kids are taking good care of me as is the church. I love them so much. You were a good man. I have started dating but the touch is not the same as yours. We had our hard times but I still love you for the good man that you are. You were the best grandpa ever!!!!! I know you must miss it. You were so excited for Jessica's baby boy to join our family. I am sure you are getting to know him before we are. I will give him extra hugs from you. I dance with Carlee she loves it so much, since you are not here to dance with her. I tell the girls how much you loved them. Thank you for helping me raise my kids. I appreciate you so much. You were a good dad to them. I am so sorry you had to pass away way before you wanted to at least you got your wish and passed in your sleep. The last words you said to me were so sweet, you told me that you were going to be ok, and I know you are!! I miss you! Love you, Kathy

I asked her if she has asked him to stop smoking and she said yes so I asked her what he said and she said NO CAN DO!!!! I'm the boss too!!
