WHAT A FUN WEEKEND!! WELL SORTA OF?

THIS WEEK STARTED OUT NOT SO FUN, ONLY BECAUSE WE DID YARD WORK FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT AND WENT GROCERY SHOPPING YIKES!! WE DID GET OUR GARDEN IN, ALTHOUGH I AM KINDA SCARED FOR WHAT IT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, I TOLD MARTY JUST PLANT ALL THE ZUCC. PLANTS WE HAVE, WHICH WAS ABOUT 50SEEDS, HE SAID ARE YOU CRAZY? I JUST LAUGHED AND TOOK THE PACKET FROM HIM AND CHUCKED THEM OVER THE GARDEN, ACTUALLY IT WAS MY CAMPBELL TEMPER COMING OUT AND I WAS A LITTLE TIRED AND FRUSTRATED AT THAT POINT. SO WE WILL HAVE ZUCC. AMONG EVERYTHING ELSE!! THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, THAT IS ALL I CAN SAY!! MARTY AND CHEVY GOT MY HAMMOCK UP, WELL SOMEWHAT, IT NEEDS A LITTLE MORE CEMENT ADDED TO BRACE IT, WE GOT ALL THE FLOWER GARDENS IN AND WEEDS PULLED AND WE ARE TRYING TO LEVEL SOME GROUND FOR CHEVY'S SWIMMING POOL, THIS IS NOT A SMALL TASK IN IDAHO, THERE ARE ROCKS EVERYWHERE!! WE HAD A VERY NICE B-QUE WITH THE CAMPBELL FAMILY SATURDAY NIGHT, AND A HUGE BONFIRE WITH THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE, THAT WAS A SIGHT TO SEE, IT WAS FUN BEING WITH THEIR FOUR ROWDY BOYS, MEANING KIM, WES AND ZAC, BEN-POOR MARY!! THANKS GUYS!! SUNDAY CASH AND ME BOTH GOT SICK DURING CHURCH AND SO WE WENT HOME, I HAVEN'T BEEN THAT SICK IN A LONG TIME. MONDAY I STILL FELT PRETTY CRAPPY, SO WE TOOK THE KIDS FOR PIZZA AT LEO'S AND STAYED HOME UNTIL THAT AFTERNOON. MARTY TOOK ME FOR A CAR RIDE TO SWAN VALLEY AND VICTOR, DRIGGS AND UP AROUND THE PALISADES DAM, IT IS ABSOULTLY BEAUTIFUL UP THERE-IT IS TRULY ONE OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S MOST WONDERFUL CREATIONS!! WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME JUST TALKING THE TWO OF US, I LOVE IT WHEN WE GET THOSE CHANCES TO JUST HAVE A GOOD OLE TALK ABOUT WHATEVER, MARTY IS BEST BLESSING I HAVE IN THIS LIFE!! I LOVE YOU HONEY BUNS!! WE ALSO TOOK IN A FOSTER GIRL THIS WEEK, JUST FOR THE WEEK, SHE IS NINE AND HAS BEEN THRU SOME HORRIFIC THINGS IN HER SHORT LIFE, SHE IS SO SWEET AND LOVES TEASING CHEVY. WE ONLY HAVE HER FOR A WEEK AND THEN SHE GOES BACK TO HER ORIGINAL FOSTER FAMILY, THEY JUST NEEDED SOMEONE TO WATCH HER THIS WEEK. EVERYTIME ONE OF THESE KIDS COME INTO OUR HOME, IT MAKES ME SO GRATEFUL FOR THE LIFE I HAD WITH MY PARENTS AND THE GOOD UPBRINGING I HAD. THANKS MOM AND DAD!!
SPEAKING OF WHICH. SINCE IT IS MEMORIAL DAY I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE MEMORY OF THE PEOPLE I MISS THE MOST. TO MY PARENTS, I WISH SO MUCH THAT I COULD JUST HAVE ONE HOUR WITH THEM, TO LET THEM GET TO KNOW MY HUSBAND AND KIDS, I AM SO GLAD THAT I HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE TOGETHER THOUGH. ONE FUNNY MEMORY I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE OTHER DAY THOUGH WAS, WHEN MY DAD BOUGHT MY MOM A BEAUTIFUL WHITE AND BLACK DRESS FOR CHRISTMAS, I THINK IT WAS THEN, ANYWAY IT WAS VERY LOW CUT FOR MY MOM'S TASTE, BUT THAT DAD OF OURS WAS A CHARACTER AND EVEN THOUGH HE WASN'T VERY TALL, HE WAS TALL ENOUGH TO SEE THAT CLEAVAGE!! MOM WOULD ALWAYS SAY, "OH WENDELL!!" I CAN HEAR HER JUST RIGHT IN MY HEAD, I AM SURE SOME OF YOU CAN TOO!! ANOTHER PERSON WHO I MISS ALOT IS MARTY'S DAD, WE DIDN'T ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE, BUT I MISS HIS INNER STRENGTH, AND THE CUTE WAY HE WOULD TEASE MY KIDS, I REALLY MISS SEEING HIM PUTT AROUND OUTSIDE AND HIS SUSPENDERS. MARTY AND ME FEEL LIKE HE HAD SOME DOING WITH THIS LITTLE CASH A ROO OF OURS, HE HAS A LOT OF TRAITS LIKE HIS GRANDPA CARRILLO. I SURE DO MISS HIS ADVICE EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T ALWAYS TALK ALOT. I AM GLAD TO KNOW HE IS ALSO IN A BETTER PLACE, YOU MISS THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PASSED ON BEFORE US, BUT WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE HAD THEM IN OUR LIVES AT ALL. WELL I AM OFF TO ANOTHER BUSY WEEK, BUT THE BLESSING THIS WEEK IS-I ONLY HAVE TO SLEEP WITHOUT MARTY FOR ONE NIGHT YA-HOO!! LOVE YOU ALL, LOVE C

A LITTLE NEWS!!

IT HAS BEEN A CRAZY MONTH AND VERY BUSY!! MARTY AND ME GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE TWICE THIS MONTH WITH THE CAMPBELL FAMILY AND IT WAS SO NICE AND BROUGHT MUCH PEACE TO OUR MINDS, THANK HEAVENS WE HAVE THAT COMFORT IN THIS CRAZY WORLD!! CONTESSA AND LORIN CAME DOWN FOR MOTHER'S DAY AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH THEM, WE SHOPPED, SHOT TWENTY-TWO'S, AND B-QUED, AND TALKED LOTS AND JUST ENJOYED BEING TOGETHER, I EVEN GOT LORIN TO PUT MY SWING UP, THAT MARTY BOUGHT ME!! CHEROKEE HAD PROM AND SHE LOOKED BEAUTIFUL, TRAVIS LOOKED REALLY HANDSOME TOO, THOSE TWO ARE JUST TWO PEAS IN A POD!! CASH WAS JUST HIS NORMAL SELF, HE CLINGS TO CONTESSA AND LORIN WHEN THEY ARE HERE, HE LOVES ALL THE ATTENTION AND CRIES WHEN THEY LEAVE, ACTUALLY THIS TIME HE THRU A MAJOR FIT WHEN THEY LEFT. CHEVY IS BUSY TRYING TO EARN MONEY FOR A 22 RIFLE, HE HAS TO EARN FIFTY BUCKS, THEN HE GETS THE REST FOR HIS BIRTHDAY!! HE ACTUALLY DID IT, HE WORKED FOR 12 HOURS IN THE YARD TO EARN THAT MONEY, HE IS PRETTY PROUD OF THOSE BLISTERS!!! MARTY JUST SITS BACK AND ENJOYS HIS FAMILY, I CAN SEE THIS LITTLE TWINKLE IN HIS EYES WHEN HE WATCHES THE GOING ONS OF HIS FAMILY!! CONTESSA AND LORIN HAVE HAD A HARD MONTH, TESSIE LOST HER BABY LAST WEEK AND IT HAS BEEN PRETTY ROUGH THE PAST FEW DAYS. SHE ISN'T DOING WHAT HER BODY IS SUPPOSE TO, SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS, WE ARE SO PROUD OF THE WAY THOSE TWO ARE HANDLING EVERYTHING THOUGH, THEY ARE REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF EACH OTHER AND I JUST WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT WE LOVE THEM AND THAT THINGS WILL BE OKAY, OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHT ARE WITH THEM. WELL I HOPE ALL IS WELL FOR EVERYONE, LOVE C
