Not Just An Ordinary Life

Heck...if our lives could just be ordinary...wouldn't that be precious!
Seems like if we don't have the Swine Flu down to a jammed finger at our house...we wouldn't be able to attend the race called life.

Almost all of you know...Whitney is trying out for BB...and she has been doing okay until last night...she came home with a jammed finger...her ring finger no less! I told her that tonight that we will just have to get the tobacco leaves out and get her finger wrapped up and send her to bed...we did that for her sprained ankle and it worked...she said, "well my finger isn't sprained...it's jammed" I then told her that jammed/sprained...same thing isn't it! So...wish us luck! We had to go clear to Richfield to get the tobacco leaves when she sprained her ankle...imagine that...so now we just keep the left overs on hand...I sure hope that they don't get old...they shouldn't should they?

I guess that we are going to try and head north on Saturday and locate basketball shoes! I really want to go...so that I can find shirts for all of us to wear for family pictures at Thanksgiving!
I'm thinking of putting Greg, Whit and me in brown/green, Jaron, Larissa and Jager in brown/blue and Nolan, Chelsie, Chasin, and Braegan in brown/pink... with the color green,blue and pink being just a hint to give off a little glow...what do ya think...give me some input!

It sure feels like snow today...I'm really not looking forward to snow...but we need moisture so bad here...and if we don't see any at all this winter...then we are not going to have a great time at farming next summer...our poor horses and cows...oh brother...I hate to think about the pastures!

Christmas...wouldn't it be nice if I really knew what everyone wanted for Christmas! If I don't find out...I'm going to get what I think they need the most...they might be surprised just how much they might need it...most of the time Christmas is blown clear out of what it is meant to be...so I hope this year...we manage to keep it small and special! Family and Friends are what is most important after all...along with remembering the Savior and all that he has done for us!
What the crap am I doing...Thanksgiving hasn't even gotten here yet...sheesh...if only I can get through one holiday at a time...but most important...I wish that I could learn to live each day of my life as if it were Christmas...cause it doesn't have to be about the presents...just the gifts of Love and Unselfishness!

Well enough of my ramblings for today...I just wanted to let you know what is up this weekend if I don't get enough time to blog before then!

Today's Quote:
You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.
~Albert Schweitzer~
May we all remember to give away freely...and forever enjoy the smile or tear that accompanied the beautiful person that paid us with it.

Love freely...for it costs nothing but a small piece of our heart which grows with each new experience of love.

Love you all my friends~

i think those colors sound great for pictures! And in my opinion it's never too early to be thinking about Christmas!! It's not about the gifts, it's about being together as a family!!
