Happy Saturday...

Up at 6am...why oh why can't I sleep late..... Must be because I do not want to miss a minute of the weekend. Stayed home last night, just Lily and I. Have to do that sometimes...just so I can use the remote control. Celina stomped Melissa 40-0. 4-0 so far. Busy week at work. Danny survived week one. Colby and Chelsey didn't miss us much, I think. Today, need to do Manicure/pedicure, but probably will not happen, since Danny and I are going to his 70's class reunion later. Wonder if I will be the youngest wife? Probably not...but a girl can dream! LOL. I need to figure out how to post in orange again....iPad is still a mystery on some things.

Not much else to say....love to all. PK

Danny might not grin over this post....

Four days into working again....tonights conversation on the way home from Colby's Game (they won 52 to 0 by the way)! Danny and I talk about.....the state picking up dead animals, cleaning up after wrecks (if there is anything on the road such as fuel), and how and where they bury things. Then we turn into our drive way and he says DANG, only one day off this weekend and I have to mow. I said WELCOME to my world babe.... Have had to pop his blisters this week, get lotion for his chapped legs and ask if he is sure he doesn't need sun screen. He wouldn't let me take his picture on Monday...with his lunch box. He leaves early, so he can get a good parking spot. All this makes me smile.....I think he's missing his time at home!

Called on Chelsey's ticket and she has to appear in court.....they must do this, so a judge can scare the crap out of them about speeding. A parent has to go too...guess that will be me, since Danny has not time off yet.

Joy, joy at the Fenter Funny Farm....football tomorrow night, 70's reunion with Danny Saturday and probably be pushing a mower Sunday, again, joy, joy....

Love to all, and Daddy, I hope you are feeling better! Love u!

A great Saturday!

Can't remember the last time I stayed home on a Saturday....Danny went to Colton's football at 8am in McKinney. The kids slept until eleven and I did nothing... Cooked an omelette, watched HGTV, played on my iPad, laid on the couch with Lily and finally took a shower after lunch time. Finally left the house at 7pm to find a patio and margarita. Ended up at Angelina's in The Colony, but it was still too hot for the patio. Have been thinking about how Danny and I could celebrate our 20th Anniversary at the end of next month....so...we drove out to The Gaylord Texan. I have been there before, but he had not. It is probably one of the most spectacular hotels I have ever been too, even cooler than those in Vegas. We walked around the shops, sat in a great sports bar (with reclining chairs) watching the Texas game on a gigantic tv, and then drove down to see The Glass Cactus nightclub. I think this is where we shall spend our anniversary... Also plan to take the boys out there for "Ice" this year, the theme is Charlie Brown. Have always wanted to go, this year I shall not procrastinate!

Today...I have 5 files to work on, a trip to the grocery store, oil change and Cowboys game tonight (from my own reclining chair). Sure do love weekends!

Hope everyone has a go one one as well. Aunt Sharon, your right, Megan has a lot of projects! Aunt Barbara, hope your enjoying the Kindle, Megan,can't wait to see the new place, Carla, hope you had a great weekend in the mud, Mom and Daddy...love u and to the visitors I am unsure of, Happy Sunday!

Xoxo, PK

Just remembering......

I shall never forget exactly where I was 9 years ago this morning.....I was sitting in traffic, on my way to work, precisely at Preston Road and Legacy. On the radio....a plane has flown into one of the World Trade Center towers. I couldn't have been more surprised, except when I was actually watching when the space shuttle blew up before our eyes many years ago. My thought was oh my...how could that happen! It's not as it you can't see a building of that size. Never thought about it being a terrorist attack. Never....then I get to work, just as the second plane has hit the other tower. Everyone was crowded around the TV watching in horror as the story unfolded. Then the other plane hits the Pentagon and yet another crashes in a field. Again, unbelievable.... Danny and I were scheduled to go to Cacun on a Production Trip the first week of October....Chelsey, at the tender age of 7, looks at me one morning, after she's been watching yet another story on the news, and says "Mommy, please don't get on a plane.". I called the next day and cancelled our attendance of the trip, so many did so, that the entire trip was cancelled and changed to Vegas at a later date.

At the age of 7, I remember not having many cares in the world, except a baby sister that I adored, a pony to ride and probably passing 2nd grade. Never a worry about terrorist or Mom and Daddy getting on a plane. I guess life was very simple back then. I read the Dallas paper this morning, and see photos of a Lady telling her husband and 1 year old goodbye as she is about to board a plane to Qatar. Not exactly sure where that is....but positive it's not a safe place. Can't imagine being her!

So......as I sit on my nice quiet patio.....enjoying a cup of coffee, I think about all the Mom's out there that are not exactly sure where their children are, but know they are standing up for our country. Makes me sad, but also gives me piece of mind that Chelsey and Colby are sleeping right here at home.

A few years ago we did a family vacation to Vermont. We flew into NY to change planes. Chelsey and I looked out the plane window as it made it's landing approach and could see the hole that would be called ground zero. Another sight I shall never forget. Didn't get to visit the site, but just a view from the plane window was enough to bring a tear to my eye.

A guy on the plane that went down in the Pennsylvania field said the words "Let's roll" and that was the very last words his wife ever heard him say..... Again, can't imagine! Makes me grateful for all the things I have....even if life gets tough at times....we still "roll."

I know this is a very strange post, but I'm just typing as I think about it all...crazy to have such a heavy heart, for something that happened 9 years ago, but also positive that I'm not the only one!

A great game and a ticket....

So......today one kid got a ticket and the other did not! Your first guess would be incorrect on the "winner".

Next! Celina 56 Pilot Point 35!!!!!! Was a great rough and tumble game. They had several on crutches by the end of the game. Hehe...

Glad it's the weekend. Hope everyone has a good one!

Colby....(Post #3 tonight)

No words to describe....picture says it all!

Bleacher babes (Post #2 tonight)

Okay....figured out that I had picture in html instead of jpg (sound just like I know what I'm talking about huh?)....Chelsey and Haley in their "Bleacher Babes" TShirts. Of course the back of Chelsey's has #40 for DR.... Now, be sure you read my first post from tonight as well. Posting twice, makes up for missing a week!
