Memorial Day Weekend...

We had a great weekend filled with barn, riding (Dani falling off twice), movies, relaxation, and Fantasy Lake.

Fantasy Lake was alot of fun. I saved a little boy. The lifeguards weren't doing their job and while they were talking a little boy was drowning. I jumped in and swam to him, got him out, then proceeded to tell the lifeguards about themselves. The guy told me he was a lifeguard and was going his job ... really? Then why didn't they hear the little boy screaming help between him going under about 3 times??? UGH teen lifeguards! Aside from the idiot lifeguards we had a great time! Didn't even get burnt! YAY!!!

Jess came and spent the weekend with Dani, which is always fun. The girls have been best friends every since we moved here and it's always fun having the two of them together!

Dakotah called me yesterday to say he loves me! :) He has been gone since Thursday. He is having so much fun. He went to Fort Sill, OK for a couple days and now it at Fort Hood, TX. He is have a blast in Texas with Lamar and Ishy, of course DayDay too. Lamar and Ishy are Kotah's best friends from Washington.

Tomorrow is back to the "real world" :( Don't wanna go Don't wanna go!

Awesome Weekend!!!

We had another great weekend. Love the warm weather and have been spending so much time outside!

Dani had a horse show on Saturday. She did great, as always. Stoney didn't even throw her when he was under speaker! She even rode Belle and did poles. She has never tried poles before so I was very proud of her. I posted pictures of the show on facebook.


Dakotah spent the weekend at a friends house. Being boys! :D

Today we went to the beach. It was so much fun. Dani and I were out playing in the waves when I looked up and saw a dolphin a foot from us. After telling her it was a shark and getting her out of the water she was so mad at me. It was funny but in the end she was so happy to be able to say a dolphin was a foot from her. We sat on the beach and watched it jump and swim around for a while before it swam away. She even drug her Daddy out into the ocean for a few minutes. The water wasn't really warm yet because we got there early so Don didn't stay in long. But the water temp didn't keep Dani or myself from playing! :D Lil Kota went with us and had alot of fun too. I posted pictures on facebook.

We are not ready for Monday. It's going to be a long week, so much to do for all of us :(

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!
