Remembering.....

(Those pink kiss marks on Joel's headstone are kisses from the girls...this is the way they kiss their daddy now)

Sept 11 is a day no one will ever forget. It is a day that changed us all. That date in history set in motion a series of events that forever changed our family personally.

May we all remember those who perished that day and may we all remember those who took the oath to protect our country and our children from it ever happening again.



For our family we will never forget the sacrifices that were made.



To Mary, Brenna & Faith we will never forget............

Love,
Uncle Brent, Aunt Melissa, Lillian, Madison & Lukus

Is anyone out there?

Just wanted you all to know that life has been a bit crazy but I am still here. I have been reading everyones but have been lazy about updating mine. I shall return with something good by monday. Hope everyone is well!!

First Communion Photos

I was not going to share these pictures because I did not want a certain person who could not be bothered to attend to see them but I figure my mom and family deserve to. Just proving that I will always be the bigger person. The high road is a nice place to be:) BTW the date is for 2008 still have not reset the date stamp.

Oh Pee up a tree I forgot my camera at home. I am working and I have all the kids with me here. Brent is out enjoying the beautiful weather we are finally having. He is dirt biking with his cousin and I am stuck inside. BOO HOO that is the breaks of being managment. YUCK what did I sign up for? Just kidding I love my job just a bit bummed that it is sat day and I am working.

Have an awesome day and enjoy your weekend.

Love,

Mel

I am alive and kicking. I have been working the fingers to the bone each and everyday. I will post the pictures on sat of the house I am on for a 18 hour shift then. I will have plenty of time then.

Love and miss you all:)

I am back after a short break. I do have some news I got a promotion at work and am now a manager. I am a little apprehensive due to the last manager in this building only made it 4 days before the employees ran her out. They are a tough bunch but they all know me and I hope respect me. I am a little nervous because I think I am going to get lynched now that I have to cut 2 day people out and run a 2 man shift but we will see. I am putting the schedule out on friday so if you do not hear from me then you know the new schedule went over badly and I am wearing concrete shoes in a lake somewhere.

In other news I have a confession to make. My mother in law has found my blog and I am feeling a little weird that she reads it. Sorry Brenda but it is weird cause this is a pretty blunt and to the point place. I feel a little guarded about writting some stuff. How many of you have relatives read your stuff??? I gave my info to my SIL to try and get to know her a little better and she has a blog also but that is it outside of my momma and good friends. It is not that I am going to trash anyone or write something that I could not say in person it just feels weird. Tell me what you think.

We are completely moved now and the unpacking is almost done. I will add some pictures when I finally download the 1st communion pictures and the spring concert pictures. My memory is full and the cord is MIA.


Thats it for now I will make a better effort to blog I promise.
Melissa

We are moved!! Sorry about the no guest bloggers I was busy and did not think to check the email so sorry to those who wanted to blog for me.

It has been an interesting move I swear hubby and I are hiring out the next time due to the good possibility one of us may not survive another move. He was a grump ass the entire time and whined about all the shit we have. I will post pictures of this he has 2 garage stalls full of stuff and I have one. I may have won the closet space but he has way more shit.

I am going to blog some more later I am so tired right now it is not funny.

Love,

Me
