Ranch Picnic 10-08

Last Sunday, the whole crew of Adams went out to the Mackenzie ranch for a 4-wheeler ride and picnic. It was fun....we had 7 4-wheelers and 2 razors. Don & Freva, Delwin & Kristie, KD & Tandy, Joe Wayne & Julia, Dexter & I.....Plus all the kids....in order....Bailey, Marli, Aaron, Drew, Tye, Pake, Kendi, Brenden, Tate, Kyser & Kaityln...Cimmiarron did not come.
I got to see alot of the ranch hat I had not....it took us a couple of hours to get all the way to the otherside and back.
We then had burgers & hotdogs and german suasages for supper....boy the cherry cobbler and homemade ice cream was sooo good....it was fun and we would like to go again...guess we need to wait until it is warmer....maybe in the spring.....

tagged

Okay...So, I have been tagged by Tandy to say 6 things that some might not know about me:

1. I was born in Florida and lived there until the age of 12.

2. My Dad adopted me and my sister....my birth father died when I was 18.....I did not know him and had not seen him since I was 5.

3. I am VERY affraid of heights and do not enjoy flying.....but, I will to get to go on a trip.

4. I am shy and have a hard time going to events/parties with lots of people.

5. I am close to turning the big 40.....yes , it is freaking me out!!

6. Dexter went with me to my senior prom.

getting better

Took Bailey to the dermatologist yesterday, this is the 4th time that we have been. She got a planters wart on the heel on foot., oh this was in the spring.... If you have never had one, I hear they are very painful. And of course, hers was in a bad spot to begin with. Well, she got the all clear yesterday....We are so glad....we really wanted in cleared up before basketball started. She had to have in froze everytime that we went.....oh she would just cry and say how much it really hurt. So, we were glad that she did not this time and that it is gone.....Yeah.
Then we went to see Dr. Freeze and she has a sprained wrist.(it has been bothering here for some time now). She can not work out for 1 week and no lifting for 3 weeks. Hopefully, the coach will not be too upset. With Bailey, it always seems like there is something. You know , she gets over one thing to just have something else.....so is the life with a active teenager.....

teenagers

Why is it teenagers feel that they can say anything to anybody these days ? It is like that do not have a edit button at all. Are we not teaching are kids morals these days? It really suprises me what they say...even my own kids. They are so rude to each other. They call each other names....stupid, dumb,crack head....whatever. I hate it....The people who love you and will always be there for you.....you put down or act ugly too. Why?

I guess because my kids are getting older they seem to be getting more physical with each other...hitting, slapping, trowing things at each other......it has been this way since the summer.....I was so ready for school to start...just so they would be gone all day and away from each other. Dexter just does not understand why I am so drained by the time he gets home....I am constantly yelling stop....do this...get ready for bed...get in bed...sit down and eat your food....stop talking to your brother like that......all I want is quiet!

I love my kids very much.....but, I wonder what I have taught them....I have always thought of them as good kids....other people praise them on their behavior....why is that they feel they can treat me this way or each other this way! Have I given them too much and not had them earn what it is they desire? Why is they are always asking for something new and better? I did not have much when I was growing up....the name brand stuff...but, I do not remember being unhappy. No, I was not in the popular crowd .... but, I still had friends and I did enjoy high school. Who you are in hs does not mean who you will be in life.....

Life at our house

Needless to say it is crazy at our house.....I mean the kids are always running from one thing to the next or should I say...I'm running them all these places. With Bailey in HS , there is always somewhere to go or to be....she is not driving yet....so that is alot. She is not as busy as last year....no volleyball or cheerleading....believe me there is still alot. Aaron is in 7th grade so he is playing football...they have practice everyday after school until nearly 6pm....and then games on Thursday night. Brenden played soccer right before school started..so, we had games every Monday & Tuesday nights....but, he really loved it....and he had the best coaches .....He is not playing flag football...kinda glad about that....he is taking piano, so that is on Mondays at 4.....and of course, he is suppose to practice 3 to 4 times during the week....sometimes that is hard to do....We are getting really busy now....buying our pigs for stock shows....working on the pins and just getting it all ready....we do have 3 pigs now.....looks like we will have 9 or more before it is all over with.....It is hard trying to keep up with it all....but, they are worth it in the long run....until later
