Can't sleep, too much Cherry Pepsie!!!

We had a blast with the Furbee's last night! Their little miss Paige & our little Ann (both 3 yrs)...They are two little princesses that have a blast. We put them in the same car on the way to the restoraunt. About a 1/2 hour drive...they chit chatted the whole way there. I guess they have a head start to teenage years...lol We mostly had all you can eat beer battered fish, and some of us tried really hot wings out...lol Then we had to top it off with cheese cakes and smore fondue....mmmm No one walked away hungry...lol More like on the verge of miserable.

our little snow angel...

Getting her to stop eating snow is a non ending job. I personally do not think it will hurt her except we live on a busy street where coal trucks are constantly going by...lol Area ladies got together and gave the preschoolers gifts from Santa. Ann got this whole snow suit..gloves and hat to match & Nice warm pj's. We were so gratefull. She is growing like a bad weed...every time we turn around somthing is too small. I'm sure you all know what that's like! Hope you have a great day!

Yea!!! My Ford Feestyle Crossover......It's brand new!!! Sparkling paint job!!

Wow, almost $8,000.00 worth of damage...

When I picked up my Freestyle crossover yesterday it was sparkling! New parts, new paint job and the whole works! I think I am more excited about it now than I was the day I bought it...hehe The inside smells like fresh paint!! My rental car was a far cry from my "taxi"...lol The kids weren't too thrilled about having to scrunch into one back seat...had a few more arguments. Maybe that will help them appreciate what they have a little more.

These guys are best snow buds! Doenisha is the camera girl. Was trying to find a picture of her, but she said she doesn't really care for the snow. She only takes Ann out to let her have fun.

Ann loves to eat snow. Sometimes that's all you she'll do. Donnie told her she would get a belly ache, but she's not convinced. Doenisha made her some snow creme. She really liked that!

"2008" Bergholz 4th of July Parade!!

We were so proud to have one of our own town hero's as Grand Marshall in the 2008 4th of July celebration here in town! Read more below...

He is Medic Sgt Kenneth Thomas, and is a Veteran of Iraqu and Afghanistan. He has been on several tours over seas. He is the son of Rev and Mrs Mark Thomas, Pastor of the Begholz United Methodist Church. Kenney has a lovely wife Maggie and a handsome 2 year old son Adrian!! Hope you enjoy! Also pictures of Cpl Kurtis Thomas... Yet another son of Rev and Mrs Mark Thomas that has served over seas for several tours. You can imagine the nerves of parents who have one son over seas let alone two. Thank God for their protection thus far.

A Giant of a Man...

Please pause my music to listen to this. It is awsome!! enjoy...

6th Wedding Anniversary June 8th, 2008

"2009"

Here we are! Another year has come and gone by soooo fast... I always heard my parents say that the older they got the faster time went, but I guess I'm just now experiencing it. I think part of it is the bills...lol Seems like we buy Christmas, and before we know it, it's time to shell out again...

Donnie and I were able to get out for a New Years Eve party last night. Donnie loves to sing, and has a beautifull voice, so he was able to sing at least three songs last night at the party. I love it when he sings special songs to me that we have found meaningful in our relationship. Those are times and memories that are building blocks along life's journey. I am so blessed. I love "God Blessed the Broken Road" and he knows it! So that was the last song he sang to me.

The kids stayed home and watched movies etc... Donnie had made a crock full of pork and kraut. Then he made a gallon of Egg Nogg, (of course no alcohol...hehe) so they would be well equipped. We told them that gallon had better not be gone when we got home...they like it so well, but would have been very sick :) They seemed to enjoy their evening also, and we brought some hats home to get a picture of them!!! Ann of course had to have a hat and a crown.
