BUSY WEEKEND here.....starting today.....

Yesterday was a fun & busy day with the twins & new baby piggies!

Last night Deke & I went to the hospital to visit my step-dad.  He was in good spirits, but in alot of pain.  He has a long road ahead of him with healing from his hip surgery.  He has a huge screw, several little screws & a big plate in him now to hold everything together on his hip.  I felt so sorry for him.  He is definitely in my prayers, as he begins his healing journey.

My mom was diagnosed with bladder cancer late last fall.  She did several weeks of treatment & her last tests 6 weeks ago show that she is cancer free!!  She does have to follow up with treatment every couple months for several years & starts that process today......so will be saying extra prayers for her too.

 

For today's schedule....

Manda has the day off today, so she'll get to enjoy the day home with the twins.

With my coffee in hand, I am off to my Stamp Studio to cut wedding invites for Shanoah, as she will be home this weekend & they want to get them all made.

Then I have several orders that arrived the past couple of days too that I need to get sorted, cut & bagged to get delivered.

Nathan races in Donnellson tonight so all of the guys will be going there.

I am going to visit my friend Donna, whom I haven't seen since right before Christmas.

(She was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer & has been finished with her treatments for a month.  She is doing great!!!)

Ok- gotta run....

I hope you have a fabulous Friday!

Many Blessings!

What a fun day G'ma had with all 3 of her boys yesterday......

• We made cute bunnies out of cotton balls & paper plates.
• We colored Easter Eggs.
• We made Scotcheroos & put them into large plastic eggs.
• We went out to see the baby piggies.
• We watched a movie.
• We played with toys.
• We read lots of books.  

Today we get more new baby piggies, so the twins & I will spend the morning outside on the farm.

After work (when the boys leave) I plan to run to Osky to visit my step-dad, whom had surgery on Tuesday from falling on the ice & breaking his hip.

I hope you have a nice day!

Happy Stamping!

So Sorry......another pretty card.

Good morning.
Here is a quick post......as the boys come early this morning due to Manda having an early meeting.

Love this card!!  Love this color!  Love this stamp set!  What a great sympathy card it is.

This is another one of the cards we did at my 'All Occasions' card class.  It was a big hit!

My step-dad (Dick) fell on the ice yesterday & was taken to the hospital in the ambulance.

He broke his hip & had surgery late yesterday afternoon.

They put a plate & a pin in it.

Please keep him in your prayers.

The twins LOVED the baby piggies yesterday.

It is so cute to see them in the farm chores & outside with us.

I took a few pictures but they didn't turn out too good.

We get more babies in tomorrow, so I'll try to get some better pictures to share.

Gotta run.....

I hope you have a great day!!

Happy Stamping!
