As most of you are aware by now Oklahoma is burning. It has been burning since last week. This is the work of an arsonist!! The problem is they have NO IDEA who it is. They keep getting descriptions but with no luck as to who. And, the person has been setting them everyday!! UGH!! The person came out to our place and I thankfully scared them off. They saw me and took off way to suspiciously for me to not think it was them. Ironically a fire started 4 miles from our home about 1hr. later.
I have worked in law enforcement most of my life and this has caused much distress. I am an emotional person, and get very excited when something like this happens. And, it being so close to home has got very worried!!! Hopefully this person will stop!!

Cupcakes, Bread, and Birthday!!!
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!
Well I am officially a year older today!! Can't believe it's already been a year!! It has flown by!! Have I mentioned I am married to the most amazing man ever?! Well I am! As I have said before I LOVE to cook and bake!! I have wanted a kitchen aid mixer for a VERY LONG time!! Well guess what I got for my birthday(you prob. have already guessed)?? Yep he got me a kitchen aid mixer!! I jumped up and down, screamed, and almost cried when I opened it last night!! He is AMAZING and he kept the secret for 2 1/2 months(and he tortured me the whole time)!! Hahaha I ask my son what he wants me to make with it first and guess what he said(DUH ON MY PART)?!! Cupcakes!! So, I am going to surprise him with orange and black cupcakes(It's hard on me to do things like this considering I am an OU fan & they are OSU fans)!! The things we do for our kids and spouses!! Now, I want some nice and warm homemade bread!! So, I am almost sure that will be on my list this week too!! LOL Everyone will prob. gain 50 pounds by the time I get over my excitement!! Hahaha
I never knew how cool these things are! They have pasta, ice cream, meat grinder, and I am sure much more attachments for this thing!! I am mainly concerned with the ice cream maker. I am gonna save my money and get one of those!! We love ice cream!! Haha
Well I guess I better get around and get some stuff done around here!! Have a great week all!!!

Unsure of what to call this one!
It's Friday night! I am lost in thoughts as my guys play football on xbox. I can't help but think of years ago. Things were so simple! No bills, nothing but time, and being young. As I get older I reminisce more and more. I have lost so many people close to me(not just in death). I realize people change, and life happens. But, you can't help but wonder how other people you once loved and cherished every moment with them are doing. I can't help but think about a friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a very long time. She has been my best friend since kindergarten. I miss her!! For reasons beyond my own control we don't get to see each other. I wish that would change. But, I LOVE my life, and love my bestest friends I have now. I don't want to ever lose them!! I just like to think about those years every now and then!!
NOW.. I bought a carpet cleaner(well my mommy bought it for upcoming birthday.. hey priorities as adults kinda suck and we resort to using our birthdays to get things we wouldn't normally buy ourselves...face it) and I spent 5 hours cleaning carpets(and the hubby moved furniture, and piddled, and the kiddo well how do I put it thinks he helped.. hehehe) and our carpets are so clean we could eat off of them(I swear I will scream and lock myself in a rubber room if they spill something on it)!! My back hurts, my kitchen looks like a war zone, my other floors are sticky, my laundry basket threw up all over the place, and my back hurts(have I mentioned that?). OH and I have mentioned it rained(SERIOUSLY?????????) I haven't cleaned my carpets in well a long time and the ONE day I decide to it rains(ok I am done cause we sod farm families NEED rain)!! Have I mentioned that our son finds the ONLY mud hole on the farm and jumps up and down screaming until he is covered in mud(Can I have that rubber room now?? PLEASE????)!! Luckily we caught him before he was totally covered!! I was telling my grandma that I finally got done cleaning the carpets, and she just laughed at me and says(gotta love grandMA ism's): Well BACK IN THE DAY(REALLY grammy?? LOL LOL LOL) it took a lot longer to keep our floors clean(mind you in like 1940 or something) cause we didn't have machines to do it(OMG I would have NEVER survived)!! Speaking of machines... HOW IN the all that is holy did they survive with NO microwave?????? Ok that is all!!!

A little over a month
Well as I sit here and write this I am almost in tears. This summer has went way to fast, and our baby boy starts pre-K! I am not ready in no shape, form, or fashion!! I am almost in tears! Can I just pretend I send him to school(ya know like when we were kids pretend)? I know I know I can't but I want to. I wanna run to the hills, and hide forever! Ok.. enough of my blubbering! I gotta put my big girl panties on and face it!!
I graduate in 1yr. FINALLY!! It seems like it was never gonna end! I am hoping it will fly by(ok so I secretly like "school"... OK the school breaks)! I will def. need another vacation by this time next year! Hopefully things work out and we get to take a I dunno mini-other honeymoon~adult only vacation to Mexico. If not we will eventually!
As my wonderful hubby and I drove home the other night from Branson we talked and talked and talked. It felt so good to have some great conversation! We are both so happy with our life and it can only getter better!! I love him more and more everyday! He is an excellent father, and husband!! Boy I am lucky!!
Well I am off and running for the day!! Random thoughts for today are brought to you by a refreshing vacation!!!! ;)

Shut the front door!!!
Well it's has been a super busy weekend!! My WONDERFUL hubby takes such good care of us! He re-filled the swimming pool for us!! Yay!! We watched Oilton fireworks, church, Wal-Mart(I think I live there), and now home relaxing! We may try and sneak in a nap today!
Sitting here thinking about all the times my parents would tell us things like: Shut the front door! We don't want to air condition the outside. Or you do the same things your mom does when you clean, cook, etc. Well I had eaten a cupcake(shhhh don't tell anyone) and I asked Luke to tell me if I had icing on my face. He said oh ya mom wait. He turns my head licks his thumb, and wipes it off(OH MY GOODNESS)!! I am not saying this is a bad thing! I have picked up some great things from my parents!! In leu of an anniversary for my best friend and my sister(in-law) mothers passing please DON'T EVER take for granted any time with the people who you care about the most!! Always tell them you love them, and never ever for get to thank them for making you who you are today!! Have a good Sunday!!

A little bit of this; A little bit of that
Well it has been almost a month since I last posted. Man I have been busy! I am still babysitting, taking care of grandma, helping with my aunt as much as I can, and trying to keep my sanity(which has been a little hard lately)! But, I thank God everyday for the time I get to spend with my family/friends!
On this note! It's hot out here in sod farm land, and frankly everywhere! Irrigating, irrigating, and more irrigating has what's been happening! The boys all need a break from the heat! But, as I sit here and type in my air conditioned house the boys drive by in a cloud of dust! We NEED rain! Rain makes corn, and corn makes whiskey~~UH oh um, ok! We leave next Friday for Branson! We are beyond ready(like since March). Swimming, go-karts, mini-golf, bumper boats, eating junk food, and yes I dare to say it a NAP!!! We aren't braving Silver Dollar City this trip because well Luke isn't old enough to remember it yet! If we get to go back in September we will probably go then(this is my excuse until then)! 2 of my friends and their children were there this week, and he puts it so well: he needs to invent a motorized cart of some sort to ride, and push the kids with! Those hills are killer!! LOL
I have so much to say but, stuff needs done!! Off to print a recipe for the perfect iced coffee according to The Pioneer Woman!! hehehehehe

We bought a pool!
Here lately I feel like saying we bought a zoo!! It's been crazy around here. After last weekend I am counting every blessing I have!! We bought a pool a little pool but a pool. When you live on a farm you have well water. Therefore you have to get water elsewhere for the pool. Also, the leveling of the ground is not going to be easy!! With that being said. I am still excited that I don't have to drive anywhere to go swimming!! And, the kiddos have a place to stay cool and be outside!! Having 2 children in the house has been fun, but tiring!!! There is extra messes, and so on!!
So, Saturday evening I get a call from my parents asking me where we all were all at. I knew something was wrong so I was very quick to tell her where we all were. If I haven't said we own some land on the river. About a mile down the pasture. So she proceeded to tell me there was a person that supposedly drowned in the river. She said that my brother is on his way home to put the airboat in the water and help them rescue the victim. So, I get my rubber boots on, and load Luke up on the 4-wheeler and we head to the barn. If anything we could open gates for the rescue teams to get down to the river. Ended up driving my brothers truck and he took the airboat down. After him and my dad got in the water he met the team half way and brought them back to river bank. The man was in his 40's and had been drinking(mixing alcohol and water doesn't mix well), and diving in waste deep water, and hit his head. I am sure he broke his neck. They did CPR, and pushed meds. I am confident in saying that was the only thing that kept him alive at that point. He wasn't good at all! I feel so sorry for his family. I hope he made it, but don't know his name, or where he was flown to to be able to check. And, the law enforcement and others aren't allowed to tell. The helicopter tried to land out here, but had some mechanical issues and had to leave. It's hard to see stuff like this, but the rescue teams were excellent!! I have been in the medical/law enforcement field since I was in high school. I have seen so much so I knew what to expect. Not saying it is easy to take at all. Well I needed to get that off my chest!! Have a great week!!!
