Happy Belated Easter, Everyone!!

Lets try this again ...

Well, here it is again; me trying to blog! I found this great template through a friend; good music; good times ahead! Do you think I can do it? Hmm .. we will see! Just a simple country girl trying to keep it simple, fun and a chance to tell our story(s)! To be honest, I found alot of these great songs from another persons blog and I wanted to load them to mine so that we can listen and for you all to listen as well!!! Let me know what you think of them!!!

A Day of Shopping and Catching Up ...

Meghan, Baby Brody and I went to the Outlet Mall this aftenoon for some new outfits for Luke and Joey (Fall Pictures), Shoes for me and a new, warm sweater from Eddie Bauer! We had a ucky soft pretzel (I brought it home for Luke and Joey ...they liked it!) and a soda! Then, we came home! Luke, Joey and I went to Wooster to pay a JCPENNY Bill and shopping at Buehlers and to redeem our points! We had dinner at Applebees and came home. Paul awoke from his nap and carried the groceries in, Luke and Joey took baths and I started some laundry. I also cleaned out the litter box ...not my favorite chore! It was a good day!

A Day at the Land

Yesterday we went to the Massaro's Cabin ... "The Land," with all of my side of the family. Eric, Trevor and Khrista wasnt there, but everyone else was! Even Angie and Eddie came down. Grandpa and Grandma Massaro worked so hard to get this together for all of us! It was a beautiful day! Cool and crisp! Yummy food! Good times on the four-wheeler! All of the kids; young and old had a great time! I am so thankful and blessed to have a wonderful, close-knit family! We loved ... we were happy ... we were in a peaceful environment! Thank you, God for safe travels to and from!

Christmas 2006

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year! These two boys were so happy and excited for Christmas Morning. Actually, Luke woke us up at 8 a.m. and Joey had to be carried downstairs by his daddy. Grandma "B" was here waiting for all of us to get up. Grandma spotted Santa and His sleigh and reindeers over the church as she was pulling into the driveway. We opened presents, had "Monkey Bread" with Chocolate Raspberry Coffee, played with the toys, and before we knew it ... it was 3:00; time to go to the cousins house for an Appetizer, Broccoli Soup and Chicken Salad Sandwiches Feast! We had a great time socializing and listening to the kids playing. We were home at 7:30 p.m. and watched the new movie, "Barnyard." What a wonderful day!

THANKFULNESS

Here are the boys on Thanksgiving morning plugging their noses. I made Cabbage, Cauliflower and Cheese Casserole for dinner at my sisters. The boys were thankful for their hankerchiefs to guard against the smell. Luke said as I am writing this; "I can still smell IT!" This is my only picture that I took on Thanksgiving .... can you believe it? AND, ITS OKAY!!!! :-) I will remember this day for a long time. We had a great time!!! We played games ... our favorites were Battleship, Othello and Cadoo!!! I even beat my brother!!!!
