Today it's my birthday.

All and all it has been a great b'day. 36... It is hard to imagine that I am 36. I always thought that late 30's were old, but I feel the same. It is kinda hard for me to comprehend that in 2 years I will be the same age as my mother was when Rudy and I married. She seemed so much older when I was 20 and she was 38. Time is a funny funny thing.

My wonderful Rudy has showered me with tons of nice gifts a new laptop ( that I have needed for a year, but was too cheap to buy), crown molding for our bedroom (after seeing the beautiful molding at Ragged's and Cynical's I asked for this as the bedroom has had nothing for 9 years and was in need of some molding), a Snuggie, and Inkheart the book.

My children made beautiful cards that I will treasure.

My brother blessed me yesterday with a new nephew and named him after me... William Austin Lee (Last Name). He is tiny pink and perfect.

My brother called at 6:30am from Afghanistan to wish me a happy b'day.

Ragged & Cynical, and Needles & Pilot suprised me with Amazon cards. So new books here I come!!

Nene & Papaw How send us money for a nice meal out.

My parents purchased me several nice spring shirts for work... and I will be receiving my b'day dinner of meatloaf, fried potatos, and lima beans all my favorites soon.

Oh and God gave us inches and inches of snow.

Now if I just had trees and horses for my farm my day would be complete. ;)

I have been so blessed with great friends and family. Thank you for all the birthday wishes.

4th Picture Fun

I saw that Farmwife did this and it looked like fun.


Here's the details:

1. Go to the 4th picture folder on your computer.

2. Post the 4th picture in that folder.

3. Explain the picture.

4. Tag 4 more people.

So I just went to my pics and this was 4 & 4 & 4. This was 2004 and then the 4th file in 2004 and then the 4th pic.


This was our dear, dear Coan and Yuri in the playhouse. Coan was the best dog ever and had to be put to sleep in 2005 because he was full of cancer.

This was a sunny day. He and Yuri were loving each other up in the playhouse. I can't believe how big my baby has gotten.

I tag anyone who wants to do this because I am not sure I have 4 readers. :)

After some checking I saw that I messed this up... no suprise there.

This is the pic that I should have posted. I am not sure if this is Pilot and Needles tent or if it was Ragged and Cynicals... all I know is that was one of the worst and best camping trips ever. We had no power and no water. Both of which are things I NEED. We visited Mammoth Cave and saw beautiful sites.

We also watched two Engineers take 4 hours to set up their tent in the pouring down rain. I am sure that the 6 of use could have had in done with 2 people in about 10 minutes. Ah... Memories.

Moe- cephus

We added to our family today.

Moe.

He is from the Humane Society from a larger town. We got him from Petsmart. I love Petsmart becuase the only sell aka adopt out Human Society animals.

They named him Moe. We tried about 100 other names and we went with Moe-cephus. We wanted a cat that would be good with the kids. They brought him in the room and sat him down, and he didn't run. He laid down and Yin & Yuri were on him like a bug on a monkey.

Right now he is running around like he owns the place. Yep, he is right at home.
