My sweet guy

He's been rough lately.

But he still cute and so sweet.

Hi, Kristy

Did it work?

Soccer

Kasey loves soccer and she never stops running. Tires me out watching her. Jake played too. He is a fast runner but not much on kicking the ball so he opted out this season. He wants to play t-ball.

silly pics

Allie's always ready to be goofy. Don't know where she gets that from. I love hanging out with that girl.

Kasey Ann...friend to all. The dogs love her.

An old snow drift.

Papa always escapes my camera with invisible cloak, but Jake pulled it off him. And the two girls were about to go play in a flat snow drift. Jake went to. They loved it. It started drizzling and they didn't care. When it was raining we had to pull them it. I'm so glad they got some snow anyway. They just loved it!!!!

So they didn't ALWAYS get along

Anna,"You can't watch TV. You didn't take out the trash. And why do you have to sit in that stupid chair? Jake" Woman, leave me alone. I've had a hard day driving truck. Let me watch this show in peace!

Haircut

My baby got a haircut. Jake was so good. But he had no idea what was happening while brother Brian buzzed away. When Jake looked in the mirror, he cried. He's now happy to look like Brian and all is well. My little man is hansome.

Christmas Time

That's one of the last pictures of Jake in his long hair. He has a buzz cut now and I love it. He's starting to love it. He has about 72 cowlicks. Now he doesn't have to have his hair brushed. And Kasey dressed up for Nana's Christmas program. She's so beautiful. And Sarah just looks so perfect in the kitchen. I HAD to post that one. Merry Christmas!!!!

birthdays

Back in Oct the kids shared a party. It was lots of fun. The other picture is at one of Kasey's soccer games. She's a speedy runner. And if someone falls she stops to see if they're ok. It's so sweet. The Lord shines in her.

Rich and Allie

So who would have thought I would be spending Thanksgiving with Rich and Allie. And that Rich would insist on doing all of the cooking. Adding more to be thankful for. We talked at my meeting last night about needs versus wants. One old man said He gives me what I need even if I don't want it. I like that.

Me Me Me

Jake

Just today

Today was good. I got a lot of errands done. And a Dr finally filled my prescription that I really needed. Tomorrow, Allie has no school. So we'll have some fun, but I'm thinking she's going to want to chill and watch tv. Pete has Kasey and Jake but I may get them for Thanksgiving. Pete's ranting. I lose it occasionaly..join the battle. Anyway...I've got to go look for a picture.

Wear underwear

These three are wearing no underwear. I had court Wed to see if I can get off probation early. I wore a black skirt above the knee and I was going to wear nylons, but later remembered you don't have to wear nylons right now. So I left the house with no nylons and forgot the underwear too. It was really windy outside and the skirt went up and my butt hung out. I don't think anyone saw my butt, but I was too embarrassed to turn all the way around. So I made it into the court room where I soon find out I was supposed to be there yesterday. And yesterday it had not been windy.

Kevin

This is cousin Kevin,stud. But his biggest talent isn't water volleyball. He is so good with the kids when we all get together. I love that. All the holper kids Rock!!!

Just a day

My sister Ro, and her boyfriend. White Sox won!!!!!! Jake and Anna are adorable. This has been a nice lazy day. But I do have a lot hanging over my head. Just can't do it on a holiday. Or a Sunday..and is Monday a legal holiday? Last night I saw Roy we talked a lot and I listened :-) It was great to see him again. Slow and careful Mom. Great days for all. Kristy

Sarah and Brian's rehearsal dinner

This was such a good night. Any night with pizza is great on my list. I looked around the room and everyone was happy. Brian and Sarah are amazing. The second picture is Carla, Kasey and Holper.

Guitar lessons

So it's been a good week overall. Sometimes challenging...like when you run out of three meds and that's only half the meds your on. I've done what I can and the rest is to pray. Pray with me. And I'd like to apologize for putting the family, especially Mom through hell with pedro coparenting. It seems I've hurt or worried so many people. I love you all, Kristy
