Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. yes I'm hearing that sound all day long. it sounds like rudolph and his friends have invaded our house. Wait I remember, I went out and bought bells to put on our 3 dogs. and everytime they run through the house we have, barking, bells ringing, and the tap tap tap of 12 little feet tapping on the new laminate floor. ho-ho-ho. What was I thinking? Actually I like the bells and they do to. I take them off every night and they line up in the morning to have them put back on. never a dull moment in our house. haha. hoho merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

I was on facebook today and our daughter dee started talking about our crazy family so I popped on and said they got it from their dad's side of the family. Then she comes back on and says who was the one running through the house chasing the kids with a hose? duh that would be me. Yeah I kind of forgot about that. We had fun and the kids and I got it all cleaned up before dad got home,.
But then I remembered we did it again when we lived in Gabbs Nev in an old trailer that had old yucky carpet and by the time we got done there was mud.(I'm talking in the house.

We had an awsome family and not only our biological kids but anybody elses kids that was staying with us at the time. Nieces, nephews, who-ever. It seemed the more the merrier. We loved them all.

We had a pastor friend who is gone now. but he use to say that the important thing is building memories, riches better then silver and gold. I started a journel years ago and wrote a lot of our memories and adventures down so they would be remember. But I don't think I wrote about the water-fights in the house. oops I'm bad. !! haha

well alot has happened since I was here last. My dad moved to the Lorenz hotel in town on Nov 8th 2011. He has always been very independant and needed his own space. So it is for the best. I worried about him to begin with but with prayer from my bible study group and friends I have a peace that he will be OK. God will watch over him and if something happens to him he will at least be happy with a place of his own. one thing I have always had a problem with is letting go. and this was just another thing I needed to remember that dad is a grown man and I am not his "mother".
since he doesn't have his license he is walking around town and getting some exercise so that is a good thing. Hopefully he will learn to ride the bus. other then that my brother Carl is coming over whenever he can to take him places. Bad things work out for the good and it was getting hard to deal with so this is for the best.
