Wolf Creek, Colorado Adventures.....

For Christmas Break ...we went to South Fork, Colorado. We left the day after Christmas for our adventure.....it snowed 30 inches the night before, so there was lots and lots of SNOW! The most snow my kids have ever seen....they loved it....It was cold...the first day we went skiing , it was a high of 15....yes.....COLD....FUN!!!!! We skied at Wolf Creek.

We stayed in a Condo with Terry & Tish Murrell and their whole crew....plus, Chase, Zack and Jarrett....14 people all together.... Some of the brave ones, skied all 3 days. We went to ride snowmobiles on Tuesday....it was sooo much fun...sometimes a little scary, but mostly FUN!

Looks like we will be going back in the future...

Weather

The weather is down right cold....and I do not enjoy going out into it.

I would rather stay at home in my old sweats and curl up on the couch , watching movies or reading a book. It is hard to get to do that with all the activities that are going on right now.

But, at least when we do get to something ....it is marking one more "to do" off my LIST.
Yeah....one less thing to remember or be at. It gets kinda crazy this time of year. Of course, it is all worth it.......

I hope everyone has a Wonderful Christmas!!!!

Friendship......

I have recently had somethings in my life happen...And it makes me so happy that I have GREAT girlfriends to talk it over with...they listen , always .......cause, you know I talk a lot....hehe ...

Anyway, they give advice and most of all they give SUPPORT......I LOVE them with all my HEART!!! I'm so lucky to have them in my life. When I first moved to Tulia ( almost 16 years ago) I knew no one...and it was very sad for me.

But, when Bailey was 2 , I was introduced to a great gal.....Tish....she just took me right in and it did help that she had a boy( T) who was 2 too. So, we became fast friends.....there have been times in our years that we not see that much of each other.....she was going to school, I was working, she was working, she was going to school....but, we have always stayed friends.....in the past she was there supporting me and I hope I was there to support her....we both have twins....another bond....lol.....

I have many others gals too....Tandy(sister-in-law), she is more than that......more of a sister to me....I'm closer to her than my own sis.....we have always had lots of fun together......she is really good to my kids too. Plus, many others ......the list goes on and on......

I LOVE YOU ALL......Forever

Trying to Be Positive!!!!

As, you can guess from my top line....that I am trying to be positive.....DANG! it is not working very well for me. I'm just not good at it. I think it is something in my genetic make-up...to always dwell on the negative......like I was made that way.....Why can nothing ever seem to be right......Why?
Maybe i need a pill to help me? Who knows. Not Me!
Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself!!!!
Some would ask why I would feel this way.......I guess you would have to walk in my shoes for awhile to understand. This has been a hard year on our family. Not that it has not been on the others. I guess it is just LIFE!!! Right....your kids can not always be happy and they have to go through things ......it is just part of life. The good and the bad!!!!
Our kids grow through experiences.....I know this.....maybe I have always wanted to leave a bubble around my kids... so something could never hurt them...but, that does not work in the real world.
Hopefully. it will all work out in the end.

Thanksgving

Well, the kids and I went to Stephenville to spend the holiday with my mom , my sister and family and my brother and his family.....It was really good....We had not been, since June. When we went to Proctor Lake for a week, they all came over for a visit. So, it was sooo good to see everyone. I got to hold and LOVE my new newphew(Trenton).....wow, it was just great.

So, my mom wanted pics of all the grandkids together....that make 10. They all wore white shirts and jeans....lets just say that I took over 350 pics...yes, that is right.....some were deleted along the way...but, ended up with @ 325.....
We thought that they turned out really good.....

Hope you think so...Love Ya
