So I have decided to open this post to all of you who are following or at least reading my blog! Here's what I would like you to do ... Please leave me a question in a comment or message on facebook form... Then in a few days I will collectively answer those questions in one blog! If I have two many to answer then I will break them up into a few posts!
Here are a few example questions :)
1: what is my fav guilty food?
2: Looking back 10 years, what would I have changed?
3: What is my best personal quality?
Etc... You get the general idea! I am excited to see what kind of questions you all come up with!

Sniffles and Snorts of all Sorts
It's that time of year folks! The time for runny noses, coughing, aches, stiff muscles and feeling like laying on the couch ALL day long!
Rhya caught a nasty cold and gave it to me! ACK!!!! Now I'm dealing with a grumpy baby, no sleep and a fever :(
I tried the thera flu stuff and yet I feel no different!
The good thing about a cold is... Nothing! Sorry I can usually find something good about almost every situation but a cold... Nope! Plus my creativity is slightly strained!
I'm not going to write a huge post but I figured I'd update everyone on what we are going to be up to the splendid holiday week!
So far this week we are doing to normal Christmas eve service... Not sure where yet... Then back to my parents to exchange gifts :) rhya has figured out how to open the gifts so now I must hide them!
Christmas day we will spend at my aunt and uncles which is a family tradition. We have been spending Christmas together for many many years!
Then the Sunday after Christmas we will spend the evening with Alans family :)
What fun! So many get togethers! I love this time of year!!!!!!
After this holiday season we have the big WEDDING! Yeppers! Kate is getting married !!!!!! Whoo Hooo!!!!!!!
Hopefully everybody will be feeling up to par by then :)

Up... Up... And... SPLAT
So... have any of you ever felt like you were on top of the world until ONE person says ONE mean, unsympathetic, and demeaning thing that brings you right back down to the ground were you started...
Well I had one of those moments... Today...
I have been struggling with my weight since high school... Up... Down... Up... Down and then back up. I was able to loose at least 10 pounds since rhya was born. I have about 10 more to go. Not to bad I thought. Yes it's been over a year since rhya was born and yes I'm only human... I enjoy chocolate every once in a while... Every girl does.
Why do people have to be so critical about how much weight you've put on or I'd you've lost it right away... I'm not one of those girls who can have a baby and you'd never know it.
I am stuck with extra skin I can't "loose". Thanks for reminding me... But before you start picking at me, have a baby and see where your at in a year... Yes I am angry but I don't hate you... I hate the skin, stretch marks and extra "winter insolation" I have.
I can't sleep on my side without pillows because the skin is heavy and hurts my stomach... I know there's some women out there that have the same issue... It's hard to be us somedays... We must always be reminding ourselves that god made us this way for a reason...
Thanks for being encouraging, uplifting, and kind (saying this sarcastically)
Next time think about what you say because it could hurt the people you love...

Seasons Blessings!
We (Alan and I) have so much to be thankful for!
Every year I LOVE sending out christmas cards as a thank you for all the love and support from our family and friends! There is no other internet printing website I wouldn't trust more than SHUTTERFLY!!!!!!!!!! I got all my Christmas cards last year from them and was so pleased! I was also given many compliments on how nice the card was! I am so excited to send Christmas cards this year!!!!!!! Here is the link/address : http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards
I noticed I wonderful friends blog post about Shutterflys 50 FREE prints! Yes I said it!!!!!!!! FREE!!!!! Yippie! So I filled out the form here
http://bit.ly/sfly2010
And am now praying that God will provide and we won't have to cut people from our Christmas card list! God does provide! Theres no question about it!
I also want to share that shutterfly is a great place to get your photo books, regular prints from wallet size up to canvas size prints! I am so excited to someday be able to do my own wedding album designed just the way I like it! Theres so many options and great prices!
Go check it out! http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books
I am also excited about shutterflys personalized calendars!!!!!!! They make awesome Christmas gifts and are a neat way to remember those special moments over the last year in the upcoming year!!!!! Here is the link / address so go check it out ! I promise you will find something you like!!!!! http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/desk-calendars
Now onto updates from the family!
Rhya is her normal mischievous self... Getting into everything! She's been on the table, cleaned all the papers off the computer desk, dumped baking soda all over the kitchen floor... Ack! And your all probably thinking where was I when all of this was happening! Well let's just say I was either washing dishes, used the bathroom for a quick second( thinking how much trouble could she get in in a few seconds) even cleaning up a mess she left in the living room! The little stinker keeps me on my toes!
Alan is doing what he does best! Pigs, cows, combine... Etc :) oh yes and lots of tires! We are excited that his tire business has taking off like crazy! It's funny when he calls to order tires and they already know who he is before he introduces himself! The pigs are going out this month so we will be getting little piggies right in the beginning of the year! We had/have five loads this week which means a lot (1000) pigs go to hatfeild ! Yummy! So if your having ham for Christmas, you can think of us! The farmers your supporting!
As for me... I'm running around like crazy after the little miss... Vacuuming cookie crumbs, scrubbing juice off the rugs, and sweeping baking soda off the tiles! Ha ha ha ! Plus keeping up with the laundry :( I hate laundry! It never ends! My husband goes through 2 pairs of socks a day! Ha! I never met anyone who makes me laugh like he does!
Heres a funny story to leave you with!
Alan and rhya were showering last night while I was making supper. I could hear the two of them laughing and an occasional squeal from rhya. Alan yelled for me to come look... I peeked through the door to see rhya covered in my shaving cream! Then Alan says... Watch this, and he proceeded to spray her with the shaving cream. She would then laugh and rub it around till it was fluffy! She then looked at me and smiled with her "I'm being funny scrunchy face" smile! What a precious moment!
Hopefully I will be able to blog more often now that it's getting cold outside!
