Poems For Dads .....and for my Dad....
Written by Anonymous
A little girl needs a daddy, for many many things: For calling her a princess, and for pushing on the swings. For loving her to pieces, and for tucking in at night. a little girl needs a daddy every single night.

I miss you Dad! SOOOO Much! But Aunt Carolyn summed it up when she said "Well he is here......I just know it" Even though I can't call him like I wanted to ...........he is definately here. You inspire me to be my best.........always have...always will.

I LOVE you Dad and I hope they celebrate Happy Birthdays in Heaven....

Please let it be Spring!

Well, Spring is almost here! Yeah!! Clap clap!! Whoooohooooo! THANK the lord......in honor of the almost first day of Spring I want to share a layout I did using the Color green for a Scrapbook contest I was in. Ron took this picture in Mexico in January and it was perfect for the my contest entry, as well as the cover for our Mexico trip album.......

ST EDWARD BEAVERS STATE CHAMPIONS!!!

Watch to see this awesome video produced by none other than another fabulous Stock Auction Employee Ashley Micek whose brother Issac was a member of the 2007 State Championship Team....

St Pat's Day...was nothing less than stellar. We are not much of the St. Pat's celebrating kind and celebrate we did not. Ron worked outside all day and I cleaned my house and watch the Busch race......which by the way.....was raced very well by BB&T driver Clint Bowyer!

I was glad it was Saturday and I was glad Heriberto was here to clean out our camper for us. Apparently, someone left the door wide open for like three months and every animal in Boone County Nebraska has had free run of our beautiful Dutchmen. It almost brought me to tears to see the mess inside...but THANKS to Heriberto....it is as good as new!

Where oh were has Kristin been????

Gone gone gone......I have been gone gone gone....well not so much physically this time but creatively and inspirationaly to scrap or write. BUT I think I might be back at least for the time being, I am going to be traveling this week so......hang on to your shorts.....a little recap of last week.

Sunday.......Ron was sicker than a Dog which just NEVER happens...ever.......he had the worst cough, sore throat and fever. He and I both stayed home from our auction on Sunday. I was scheduled to stay home, but he was not.....but did anyway. It was weird watching the auction on Proxibid, but my job was in good hands.....Krissy was in Charge and she ROCKS!! Here is a layout I did for A contest I entered in......I had to do a Layout entitled "Someday I am Gonna" . Totally a Kristin was having a fit layout...but I still think it was awesome.....even though no one voted for it!



OK SO you know how somedays are diamond and some days are.....well.....this is one in terms of uploading this great layout is crap :) Scratch that...I will upload it, but this computer is having...well ummm issues :) Lots and Lots of issues!

FINALLY I got my layout uploaded...........see above :)
