Life on the Funny Farm

Oh wow - look.....a new blog, and one with pictures!!!! Where oh where do I start??? Well, how about with Ashley! This girl has given me more grey hair in the last 3 weeks than I deserve!! :)) First of all, she decided to come down with the stomach flu. We got rid of it in time for her to head off to the land of strep throat. Then.........

.....yea...she sorta totaled her sisters car. She was driving along a street here in town and a lady stopped at a stop sign, didn't see Ashley and plowed into her drivers door and spinning her around until.......

.....she hit a telephone pole. She did very well at not going into a state of panic but called her daddy to come and rescue her!! :)) Thankfully, other than a few bruises, she is fine! Well enough in fact, that after a few minutes.......

.....she was on the phone!! Three guesses as to who she was talking to but the first two do not count!!! We are actually very thankful that she was not hurt and reminded her that cars are replaceable but she is not!! Although in the last few weeks, I have considered it!!!! :))

Now on to the next daughter and wedding stuff!! Engagement picture have been taken - below are three of my favorite shots of them! Mind you these are MY favorite, not necessarily those of the future bride and groom!!



What a beautiful couple!!!! Wedding plans are coming along really well and of course, there are still many more to do!! Carrie has such a great handle on things and I am so incredibly proud of her!! She makes bigger and better lists than her mother and trust me, that is saying something!! :))
Well, I think that is enough for now! The body is tired and the mind is weary and the bed is calling!! C-YA!!!!!!

Yikes! Glad Ashley is OK - tell Carrie "Happy new car hunting!"

OK, is it just me and my old age eyes or are picture #1 and #3 the same one? The onrd you showed us are really good, who took them?

Happy Mother's Day Leah!

I like the pictures of Carrie and her "future hubby to be" they are really cute and they look cute together. Makes me feel old that I remember all your kids as just little ones and now another one of them is soon to be married. Guess this is where the journey of me feeling old begins. All these kids I know getting married!
