Another great prompt from ALLYSCRAPS!

Today marks only one month till my husband comes home!!!! Yep, only 30 days until my hubby is back in my arms!! And no I cannot not wait, like a kid in a candy store!

Another one!

Just a quick layout of my husband...yep, I have been doing those alot lately. I guess that is what happens when he is gone for so long.

I told him that it looks like someone just ran over his puppy and my brother corrected me saying "No, that is him telling you that he is going to run over YOUR puppy!"

Love you baby!

Sad day for our family!

I know that most people have "fur babies" and couldnt imagine their life without them...well, for my family we have horses as our "fur babies". And this morning one of our babies had to be put to sleep. My dad's friend that lives at his ranch found his horse, Martha, out in the field with a leg broken in two places, we called the Vets son, who was someone that had been around Martha and could handle him and he called us to say that there was nothing that could be done and he would take care of it for my dad. We all know what "take care of" means when you are talking about animals.
Martha, a boy with a girls name as the grandkids say, was a very special horse to my dad and our family. He was given to my dad from a great friend, Martha, before she passed away from cancer. So while Martha was a bit of a stink to the rest of us, he was a great horse to my dad. And my dad was very proud of him; they were amazing together. My dad was even asked to by a photographer to ride Martha so he could photograph them.
So yes, today is a sad day for our family...I truly thank my dads friends Lane and Drew for taking care of things for my dad, as this is not easy for anyone to handle...
Now off to comfort the kids as they loved all of Boppa's horses!

My last travel adventure!

This layout was for a Prompt for My Book of Me at Allyscraps. For me, my last travel was to see my husband graduate from Boot Camp at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. I was more than happy to do this page and was so amazed at how short of a time it took me! I love my husband and had to share this wonderful travel for me!

My journaling reads:

July 9,2008, Fort Jackson has been my latest travel. I flew from Sacramento to San Francisco to D.C. to Columbia just to see him! I would never regret this trip, he made me so proud!

As he graduated boot camp on the 11th of July he made us an Army family.

South Carolina was so beautiful, the people were so nice and the humidity was totally new to me. BUT, I loved it there for the short time I was there!

Next time I want to visit Myrtle Beach and maybe Charleston.

I am telling ya, The Palmetto State made a good impression on me!

Crazy, hectic...

Crazy and hectic is a good way to describe our mini family reunion we had this lat weekend. There were six grandchildren, six parents, two grandparents and one cousin! Yep, that is alot of Chiefs and not enough Indians as they say...

All of the cousins had a great time playing together and the "older" cousins, meaning my kids of course, were trying to "take care" of the littlest ones! I am not sure that Bella and Logan minded since being 17 and 15 months old they were able to ignore them a bit..

Early Friday morning we made our very small treck our to the ranch so that we could ride the horses. I am not sure that Terry and Buck, the best horses ever, were totally thrilled with the agenda but they were on their best behavior! At this point in this picture, it looked like Buck was asleep with the girls on his back! Hence, the suprised look on Natalia's face and the smile on Cayleanna's!
