Ugh Mondays ...

Someone forgot to pay the NC heating bill. It is FREEZING outside! What the heck happened to our warm summer weather :(

It was a great weekend. Saturday Dakotah went camping with his friends. They had alot of fun but were scared of a Russian guy and an old man with a poodle. ROFL ... boys! I got to see my Stevo too. ;p

Don had his friends over and they did nerdy stuff til way past I went to bed on Saturday. NERDS!

Sunday was great too. My hubby and kids love me so much! :) Nice to be reminded every now and then. Dani had all my "kids" sign this huge card for me! I love all my "kids" aka Dani's friends! :)

I got to reconnect with one of my favorite people ever this weekend too. It was so awesome!!! It's been over 12 years since we've talked. How cool is facebook sometimes! Good thing we both have unlimited texting!

Dani's got braces issues. Her band is falling off. It would be ok if it wasn't connected to the appliance in the top of her mouth and the band on the other side. Poor kid. She was crying and we all know when Dani cries my heart melts. We got it pushed back up onto her tooth the best we could but without cement it just keeps falling back down. She was hungry and couldn't eat because she was biting on the metal. Took her this morning to get it fixed but we have to wait til this afternoon. Poor kid can't seem to catch a break! :(

Ok Mason is hugging on me ... My baby boy wants my attention!

May 1999

11 years ago this month I was a single mom, receiving no child support and working 2 jobs to take care of Dakotah and Dani on my own. I followed my friend, Angel, and started working at Outback where I met the most awesome group of friends, some of who are my most treasured family members. Not only did I meet Jeremy and Tab but I also met Don. We started dating in July and it has been the best 11 years of my life every since!

In 2002 we got married ... besides the day both my children were born that was the best day of my life! We have had an awesome 11 years together and an awesome 8 years of marriage! I love you Donald and am so proud of you! My favorite soldier and hero!

My kids are lucky to have such a wonderful Daddy! No one will ever love Dakotah and DaniKay more than Don has loved his children. He has done such a great job raising two spoiled little midgets and turned them into two spoiled awesome teenagers! He has given my kids more than I ever dreamed/wanted them to have. He has been there for them through the hardest times in their lives and through the best times in their lives. I'm so glad that Dakotah and DaniKay have such an awesome father and friend in their lives. I can't think of anyone that I would rather raise these two spoiled monsters with!

I love you Donald and thank you for all you have done for us!

Another Monday Update ...

It's a blah Monday in Lusterville. Even my babies are blah today. Must be the weather. It's finally warm again. Love the warm weather!!!

Don went and spent the day with Dani at school on Friday. She had so much fun having her Daddy at school with her. She took alot of pictures of the Ryan Daniel concert. She got a signature picture of Ryan Daniel. She also got her arm signed and got to meet The Black Daggers Parachute Team. She was very excited. I'll post the pictures of the concert and Parachute team on my facebook. Saturday Dani spent the day at the barn then went on a date with her Daddy. They went to see Nightmare on Elm Street. Dani loves to be scared! :) Sunday Dani went back to the barn and got extremely sunburnt! She had alot of fun though! :-) Two more weeks before her next horse show!

Dakotah had a good weekend too. He hung out with his friends and their band on Saturday. Dakotah is getting really good at playing all his guitars. Sunday Dakotah also went to the barn and had alot of fun. He came home a "red neck" lol He wore a t-shirt so his neck and face are all that got burnt! :p

I had class on Friday night and again on Saturday afternoon. But Sunday I got to spend the whole day with my best friend and favorite soldier. We did nothing but hang out and had the best time! I am almost done with school for this semester. I have some final project stuff to finish up today, a couple tests to take, then another final this weekend. After this weekend I am done til summer courses start!!! YAY!

We have a busy weekend this coming weekend. Dani has a party to go to. I'll have Lil Kota and a cake to make for Chy's party. Dakotah and his friends are going camping. Never a dull moment in Lusterville, just the way I love it!!! I'm so happy my kids have so many opportunities to do the things they love. My life couldn't get any better, well no deployments would be nice but since there is one in the near future I will be satisfied with what we have! :)

Later all ....

Busy Life in Lusterville

As always alot is going on.

Zachals last day here is Wednesday so we had him a birthday/going away party on Saturday. The kids had a great time. 3 of them spent the night. Mason came to hang out with Lil Kota and so did Jedaris. The little kids came inside with me when the mosquitos came out but the older kids stayed out and did marshmallows over the firepit.

I took Jinx to get his shots yesterday and WOW! That puppy has gained just over 8 pounds in about 2 1/2 weeks!!! According to the vet he is very healthy. I was also told he was a very well behaved dog! I think so for only being 6 months and he listens pretty good too but I love my puppy so I'm a little biased! :) Every time we go to PetSmart with him so many people stop to tell me what a "pretty dog" I have ... well I must admit he is pretty good looking! ;b When we got home from PetSmart Jinx went out and dug in his favorite mudhole. He was covered in mud so Dani threw him in the pool with her and her friends. Yeah he jumped out and didn't go near the pool again! :) Smart puppy! He starts dog obedience school in a few weeks and I'm very excited!

Dakotah is doing good. He bought a bass electric guitar and has been going and playing every day with a couple of friends. He is quite good and seems to really enjoy it.

Dani is good just not ready for Zach to move but hey that's military life! :/

I'm doing good. Still taking cooking classes. My finals are coming up this week and next for my FayTech courses. ugh so not ready to take them but ready for a couple weeks off before summer term. I registered for 5 classes this fall and filed my fasfa now just to wait and see what that award letter says. My medical transcription courses are going slow. I have so many end of semester projects due that I haven't had much time to focus on medical transcription. But soon soon soon ... I hope ;/

Don is doing good. Busy, as always.

That's it for Lusterville ....
