Upate and Random Information




Hello Everyone!


There is not really much going on in our world other than the usual... Work, School, Church, doggies... oh yea... Jibber is gone... the beautiful lab we had for a short while.. he is gone, but not forgotten... and now we have Buddy-- an absolutely adorable little Beagle. Maddi adores him and Jake is enjoying having a "smaller" guy to push around.




I am looking forward to the Mother's Day lunch at Maddi's school in the next couple of weeks and then I am going to be going on a field trip with her class in May as well! I sometimes really would love to just be available to do all those things... but the few I get to do are special.





Maddi is becoming such a wonderul young lady. She is beautiful and smart and sassy as you can possibly imagine and then some!





I just love this picture of her.


Oh! We did go to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for Maddi's Spring Break. We only went for a couple of days, but really had a great time.



us in the car:)


loving the SNOW!

Maddi with the bubble maker... I love this of her face!

So yeah, that's pretty much it lately... and no, I am not dating or engaged or getting married... just in case anyone asks you.

Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey -The Greatest Show on Earth











We went to the circus on Saturday, March 29. It was so much fun. For just a couple of hours, I was a kid again! I have always loved the circus and been amazed at the beauty of the people and the animals... I still am!

Maddi got to see the wonderment for the first time and it was so much fun watching her and Kristopher and Aidan and Courtlyn be amazed at what they saw!

The white tigers were just breath-taking. Such gorgeous animals...such strength, such grace... but yet they can destroy you with one swipe of a massive paw!

The elephant--so adorable and so H U G E-seemingly docile and sweet-with a kind of sad look-but again, the wild animal could have taken us out with one stomp!

The ladies, the gents---just such pretty people... so talented, so fun!

I hope at least once you get to enjoy the circus--and if you have children, take them and get the closest seats possible-it's WORTH the money!
