Why?

Why do weekends go by so fast? Is there a way to slow down those two days? I'm so glad for warm weather and being able to sleep through the night now. So I tackled some of my roses today and by the looks of my arms, I think they won. Our family is growing, wish we could get a complete family group picture, all cousins, spouses,and grandkids. What a fun time that would be. Hope you are all well. Love, Vic
ps HAPPY DAY! I got into my goal dress Saturday-no bulges or gaping buttons.

Oop forgot the pictures

Our Weekend

We are now proud owners of 4 bee hives. We just brought two new hives and 20,000 bees to go in them. We are keeping these bees in Delta on Sam's parents ranch. So that is what we did this weekend. Our bees from last spring survived the winter and are doing great. Sam wants to add two new hives each spring. We are crazy but it is fun and interesting. So I have to share this poem with you that Sam's dad told us yesterday. It's silly but we laughed so here it goes:

The bee he is a busy soul
He has no time for birth control
I guess that's why at times like these
There are so many sons of bees.

Silly but go ahead and have you laugh for the day. Hope everyone has a wonderful week. Be happy. Love ya, Shawna

OH WHAT SURPRISES AT OUR HOUSE!!

THE FIRST AND MOST WONDERFUL SURPRISE OF THIS PAST WEEK IS, I AM GOING TO BE A GRANDMA, AT AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME, I AM EXCITED BUT ALSO A LITTLE WIERDED OUT TO THINK THAT I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD AND I AM ONLY 40, BUT I AM THRILLED FOR CONTESSA AND LORIN. LIFE COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER!! THIS PAST THURSDAY WE ADDED THREE NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR FAMILY, WE WILL HAVE THESE THREE LITTLE GIRLS FOR ANYWHERE FROM A YEAR TO FOREVER, IT DEPENDS ON IF THE MOM GETS IT TOGETHER, THE DAD WENT TO PRISON FOR SOME VERY BAD THINGS AND THE MOM IS VERY UNSTABLE. OUR HANDS ARE VERY FULL RIGHT NOW, BUT WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT HELPING THESE SWEET INNOCENT CHILDREN, THEIR AGES ARE 3, 2, AND 1, CASH LOVES PLAYING WITH THEM AND IT HAS BEEN GOOD FOR CHEROKEE AND CHEVY TO SEE THAT THEY CAN HELP SOMEONE ELSE IN NEED. LIFE IS GOOD! I WON'T BE COMING TO SISTER'S WEEKEND, MY PLACE IS WITH MY FAMILY RIGHT NOW, SO HAVE FUN AND I WILL SEND MY STUFF. LOVE YA ALL, C

(52 Week Plan) Water as much as you can buy and store each month
April (never to late to start)
Week # 3 * 20 pkgs of vegatable seeds, various types that will grow in your area. (and for up to 3 yrs worth if possible). They will keep in a dry dark area in a can with lid.
5 small boxes of Bisquick or Jiffy Mix
Week #4 * 5 boxes of Matches - Chlorine Bleach-1 gallon per family member (to purify) or purifing tablets
Week #5 * 6 cans Canned Vegatables (that your family likes) and dried pruns, apples, or apricots (for fiber). Make sure to look at dates on cans.

Hey sisters

Hey, please take a second and check out the message on Deb's last blog. Sorry for the misunderstanding and Char thanks for the offer-you're sweet. See you all soon. Love, Vic

SISTERS WEEK/13 DAYS

SISTERS:

A SUGGESTION HAS BEEN MADE BY SHAWNA.
I (DEBBIE) WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SCANNING ALL SLIDES INTO CATAGORIES, MAKE A MASTER COPY OF ALL, THEN YOU CAN COME AND MAKE A DVD/CD OF ANY YOU WANT (PICK AND CHOOSE ). IT WILL TAKE ME A FEW MONTHS TO FINISH.
SO BRING THE SLIDES TO SISTERS AND LEAVE THEM WITH ME THEN YOU CAN HAVE THEM BACK IF YOU WANT.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO THRU THEM AT SISTERS (BECAUSE OF THE LENGHT OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE) I WILL SCAN - THEM INTO FLOWERS, ANIMALS, FAMILY, SCOUTS, ETC. ON SEPARATE DVD/CDS. THAT IS WHY I NEED ALL OF THE SLIDES AT ONCE.
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
HUGS AND SEE YA SOON
OFF FOR CORY'S BACK SURGERY AT 1:30

A BETTER DAY

OKAY EVERYONE
NOW I'M TRYING TO GET OVER MY FRUSTRATION !!!! I'LL HAVE A BETTER DAY TODAY
DEB

UPSET YUP I AM

SISTERS:

EVERYTIME I PLAN SOMETHING IT GETS MESSED UP.
I AM NOT STUPID ABOUT THE SLIDES, I AM NOT WILLING TO GIVE THEM OUT.
THEY DON'T GO ANYWHERE EXCEPT TO ONE PERSON (ME) CAN YOU TRUST ME. THIS MAKES ME A BIT UPSET THAT I PLAN SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO DO AS A SURPRISED FOR MY SIBLINGS AND IT GETS TURNED INTO SOMETHING ELSE EVERYTIME. YES I AM UPSET ! I DO WANT THE SLIDES FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.
AND IF NO ONE ELSE WANTS THEM FINE BUT I DO ALL OF THEM. (I WILL PAY FOR ALL THE EXPENSE) .
THEN YOU CAN HAVE THE SLIDES BACK. THIS IS A BIT OF A INSULT TO ME, THAT I AM NOT TRUSTED, HOWEVER I HAVE ALWAYS SHARED EVERYTHING THAT I GET FROM ALL OUR AUNTS AND COUSINS ETC. BUT I FEEL IT REALLY IS ABOUT CONTROL AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I HAD THEM ALL LABELED SO YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU WANTED THEM.
CD # 1 : ANIMALS AND FLOWERS
CD #2: FAMILY
CD #3: SCOUTS
AND SO FORTH.
SO BRING THE SLIDES ! MY SURPRISE (I AM BUYING A SLIDE SCANNER ON FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK ). NOW YOU KNOW MY SURPRISE !!!! WOW
HAVE A GOOD WEEK EVERYONE.
DEB

sisters weekend

Can't wait. I do have one concern about the slides, I don't want all of the animals scenery etc. I don't think Shawna and Cricket are on many slides, so I don't know if they'll want all of them or not. We need to decide how to do that. Also, I have a big problem with letting them all go to get done at the same time, just in case something unforeseen happens at the picture place. I think we need to be cautious about that. I really only want family slides to keep on a dvd. Do any of you have any input? Love ya, Vic

HAPPY EASTER

Hope everyone had a great Easter, we had it at our house this year here is a picture before the fun scavenger hunt Brittney and my Mom made! -Char

PUT INTO CATAGORIES ON DVD/CD'S A MASTER COPY WILL BE MADE AND PUT IN A SAFE BOX I HAVE FOR ORIGINALS. THEN YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT YOU ALL WANT OFF YOUR COPIES IN YOUR OWN TIME AFTER COPIES ARE MADE. I TOOK IN SOME SLIDES AND THE PICTURES ARE FADING AND CRACKING SO LETS PRESERVE THESE MEMORIES FOR ALL OF US AND OUR POSTERITY.

happy easter from texas

love you all

Just an Idea

So I was just down in my sewing room doing some projects and I was looking at the pictures of dad and mom on my wall. I got thinking about them and was wondering what ever happened to our tradition of passing Dad's slippers and Mom's pink curlers around. So here's my idea whoever has them can bring them to sister's weekend and pass them to the next person who is in charge of next years family get togethers. How does that sound? It's just an idea I won't be offended if someone doesn't like it. Anyways think about it and hopefully we can get the tradition started again. Love ya, Shawna

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Sunday. Go to this website and enjoy this amazing video.

conference

It was so great to watch all four sessions. I missed a few minutes of Sat. afternoon, but got the rest.
I loved the talks on temples and going more often-something I need to do monthly is not nearly enough. I got Al home for 34 hours, now he's off to Arizona, then Wisconsin. I made bread on Monday-second attempt at whole wheat-the new recipe was amazing. I got some raspberry jam done Tues. night and I'm making honey recipes for FHPE on Weds. I made up a yummy mango, honey lime salsa. It's fun to experiment. Can't wait for sisters. Love to all the my nieces and and all of your families. Vic YEAH- the sun's been shining for two days.

Great Conference

Hello Everyone! How is everyone doing? Wasn't General Conference wonderful? I loved Elder Dallin H. Oaks talk on Unselfish Service. He hit it right on the head when he said we live in a "ME" generation, it's all about me, getting something for nothing. A selfish person seeks to please himself and man not God. We as a people need to make the sacrifice to lose ourself in service to others. I had to ponder on the question he asked "How many people did you help?" It's a great question to ask ourselves at the end of every day. Okay I just want to share a couple of quotes I loved too..."We get what we focus on consistently." Elder Kevin Pearson "It's always right and the right time to walk in His way." Pres. Uchtdorf "Don't dwell on what is wrong with ourselves and the world" & Our Decisions determine our Destiny-Pres. Monson This one isn't from conference but I love it "Noble and Great...that is who you are" Sheri Dew. I think all of you are noble and great and I am so happy and grateful you are all a part of my life. The gospel is true, Christ lives and President Monson is a prophet of God I know these things to be true just wanted to let you all know that. Be happy. Love ya, Shawna

New Look

Hey everyone! Wendy's plea for an easier background to read inspired me to try the 3 column look... I debated back and forth between something pretty and pink or monkeys... as you can see... the monkeys won out!! :) Let me know what you think and if it's easier on the eyes (all ya old ladies)!!

Happy Conference Weekend!!
