Today...

has been...one of THOSE day. First, Ron had a touch of the flu. Poor man. He had all kinds of bad stuff going on, but McCook made sure she sat on his lap all afternoon while he was napping. I let him watch Gunsmoke and Bonanza all day....even though I slept through Gunsmoke and he slept through Bonanza. Ron is NEVER sick...so I knew he was NOT feeling well.

I can't believe how fast our four day weekend went!! Where did it go????? I can't believe Ron is going to be gone this week, but I have so much to do that I'll live through it :)

This month is CRAZY!! I mean insane nuts and plain wild........there are only 6 days....YES 6 days that we don't have NOTHING going one.....WAIT it's 5!!

How do I cram in a months worth of stuff in 5 days?????

Well I can't believe this is it for November. The very last day...WOW what a month. At least I got to watch the replay on the Nationwide Series Banquet today!!! CONGRATS to my driver again for being the Nationwide Champ!!!

How can a couple game...

of cards take ALL day......and half the night.

I am serious...you put a deck of cards in front of my family and all Jacks breaks lose. I seriously don't mind, it just gives me the giggles. I can't believe how loud one group of people can be playing cards. Everything was fine when the family was in Mom's basement, but when they decided to play on the dining room table....well.......









It was a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and I have no complaints. We had a great day......especially me eating half a pan of potatoes :) I don't eat potatoes much anymore...so I made sure I had those potatoes....AND Ham :)

Of course I was a little surprised that we actually watched the Big Joe Polka Show :) and the CMA awards and PBS.......Thank goodness we caught he Kansas vs Missouri Football game...WOW that was a great game. I was happy for the JHawks!

All in all Saturday ROCKED!!

What a lovely day.......I miss my family. I am lucky we get to spend our holidays together...I love them all very much!

No matter how much...

I try to fight it off........I AM A LOYAL TRUE AND BLUE HUSKER FAN........Plain and simple, the is just NO way to take a Husker Red out of a girl from Nebraska......

I would LOVE to add some photos...........but nothing yet!!

Well.....here is one...the Game winning Kick by Alex Henery.




MY HUSKERS ROCK~

What a lovely....

THANKSGIVING day we had.

First, Ronnie made me his Famous French Toast which Totally made my day! Then we headed for the Stock Family farm for a wonderful day of eating, watching some football and spending some much needed time together. I am so lucky! Lucky to have such a wonderful group of extended family.

I love you all so much!! It is such a treat to spend time for our nieces and nephews. I LOVED holding our newest additions Jack and Alina.....such beautiful little ones. They are both so sweet!!!!! Sending you all our love.





Mom Stock made a wonderful meal and we were all full and happy. HOWEVER we did miss the Romero's. Michael, Cindi, Lexi and Curtis.....can't wait to see you at Christmas.....

My THANKSGIVING Eve Challenge....

It is simple!! I posted a similar Challenge on one of my Scrapbooking site that I frequent...and decided to do it here. This THANKSGIVING weekend...I challenge you to post a photo that you take over the weekend with someone or something you usually don't take your photo with!! This has to be YOU......with someone or something......post in my comments a link to your blog or email me at kkstock@stockra.com with you photos to share.

Here are mine...this is myself and my dog Buddy....we were having quite the kiss fest this afternoon...

Outdoor Challenge...

that is my newest "get me some exercise" program :) brought to me by Wii. BUT man...holy moses......I think Wii is trying to kill me...or maybe I am just that sad and pathetically out of shape. It pooped me out.

I love Mole stomp...who knew that stepping on moles could be such a workout!!

Or how about some log jumping....

I have to admit I had alot of fun doing this......I kind of forget that I am actually getting exercise while doing it. Now I am on to the Marathon Event by the end of December. NO not a real Marathon a Wii Marathon :)

How the weeks do fly by....

I swear just like it was two hours ago, I was looking forward to watching the KSU/Nebraska Football game and then following it up with the conclusion of the NASCAR Nationwide Season, but it has already been a week! WOW...no way. This week has left me no time for bloggin or catching up. Two days I spent not feeling well and then had to pack up and leave for an auction in Kansas.

BUT the good news is. We are done with the auction. Home safe and sound and spending the day at our lake house, which it totally fine with me. I was hoping to get a jump on some holiday projects this weekend, but I have laundry, dishes and bags to unpack. Not to mention endless Creative Team stuff to catch up on and about a dozen emails to reply to.

OH well.....tonight is the Nationwide Banquet at which Clint Bowyer will offically receive his 2008 Championship Trophy and the much anticipated Oklahoma/Texas Tech game, which has HUGE implications for the Big 12 South...worth watching even though I don't know how I am going to function without my Huskers :)

I did manage to scan some older photos in this week that I have been meaning to save and eventually scrap, but in terms of the 100's of other projects....NOT so much.

Well.......that is it for me today. I'll share some of those scanned in photos later.....

AN older photo....

...of Ron and I...over 10 years ago from my Grandmother's 90th Birthday party. Dang.....I swear I had to look three times to make sure it was us :)



I have been scanning in some older photos that I don't want to lose. I was reinspired by my Friend Rhonda King who posted some older photos of myself, her, T and Ron on her facebook. I reminded me how fun it is too look back and remember all the great times.

Who are these two??? and how do I get back into those pants.....hehehehe

No time...

for bloggin today...too busy in the restroom....UGGHHHH. That is too much information but the truth........YUCK!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to my brother George! I hope you had a wonderful day. I am glad to be your sister and love you very much! I am your sister and I will always have your back!!

CHAMPION!!!!!

.....THE 2008 NASCAR NATIONWIDE CHAMPION IS............

MY driver...CLINT BOWYER!

Congratulations Clint on a great season.....even though it was close and I about had a heartattack....I THANK YOU for being the best of the best..........you are my hero. Through the tears, the jears and nervous moments I knew today that I picked the best of the best~

I am....

sort of happy............again what could have ended up as a crappy day for Clint Bowyer....ended up..well..OK. I am certainly happy to be a Clint fan and the result.....a 12th place. I am sooo OK with that...after the day he had.

WHOOOOOOO!!

The Huskers Won today over the Kansas Jayahawks.....that was a very enjoyable game. A good game...a well played game by the Huskers AND our injured Joe Ganz (our Quarterback)









In a weird twist....my favorite NASCAR driver just happens to be from Kansas and his favorite team...the Kansas Jayhawks!! Piled it up in the Nationwide race, but right now is having a great comeback. At one point had lost his Nationwide Championship lead, but seems to be a man on one hell of a mission.

Stay tuned for updates on Clint :)

AND here it is........

WRECKED......TO FOURTH!! I am one extremely proud Clint Bowyer fan today....now bring that Mojo over to tomorrow my friend.......and BRING HOME THAT NATIONWIDE championship next weekend. I will certainly be watching....I have to work on next Sunday which totally make me upset, but I want you to be that Nationwide Champion.....




There isn't one moment that I haven't said "Wow Kristin what a great choice for your driver"

A little sad...

at the same time being a little scared....for Clint Bowyer that is. There are only two more Nationwide Races and two more Sprint Cup races of the season. He is currently leading the Nationwide points race but by a slim margin. I am nervous for him. I would certainly like to see him win that title..in addition to having an excellent finish in the Sprint Cup Chase. So I'll watch the race tomorrow and see if he can hold on and pull away.......




..and I'll watch on Sunday to see if he can have another great finish!!



Go Clint Bowyer!!

Meanwhile back here.......

I have been sorting and sorting my final box of photos I needed to sort!! I am so sooooooo happy to have that done.....Happy days are here again!! Now if I could just finish my last box of Memorbilia done too......

No matter what...

Happened......yesterday at the Newman Grove Football State Playoff game.....I am very proud of Sheldon Boschen. It was such a great rush for me cheering for the team I cheered for most of my life. You played great!

It is such a great honor being an Aunt to you, Jessica, Seth, Alicia and Cassidy. I love you all to pieces.....I am sooooo proud of all of you.....

and....I am proud of you Shel. and look forward to the next couple of years......
