Epic Table

Once again this man listened to my crazy ideas then got to work on making my dreams come true

I always dreamed of owning a gigantic, awe-inspiring, rough honed wood table built with love large enough that our family, us, our girls and one day their husbands and children. 

A family table that will last forever and will be the topic of tales to be passed on through the generations to come..

A table worthy of Vikings or the Corleone Family lol 

So being my dream maker he once again made my dreams come true he built me an epic table to fill up with food, family and friends...

CHRISTMAS 2017

Our Country needed a change

Somewhere during the last Presidency our Country which was once great went off the rails

I am not going to get into a debate on Politics or throwing blame on Obama because the truth is only weak minded people are led off course that being said I am hopeful that Trump will help lead the country back to the place where it once was on top. 

This years Christmas Pajamas were a tribute to President Trump here is to you Sir 

MAGA 

CHRISTMAS 2017

Building memories...

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breatherd the mountain air, man
Travel, I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

Oh the stories these girls have to tell, the things they have seen, the things they have done, the places they have been, the places they will go...I can not wait to see the stories they tell their children one day...

A fulfilled life....

Don't let the sun set on the end of your life without having lived each day to the fullest. 

Chase dreams, go on adventures, travel, dance, climb mountains, smell the flowers, dig your toes into the sand, grow things, create, savor, read books, listen to music, taste the local cuisine. Don't forget to share these things with the people you love.

 Life is so short don't sit around waiting for later go forth...

You are you, and I am I

Two together

 flying side by side

 at times one leading one following 

 coasting on a breeze 

16 years years together

15 years married

& this still is the most important thing to me. 

                                                    I do my thing and you do your thing.
                                      I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
                                            And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
                                                            You are you, and I am I,
                                         and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
                                                            If not, it can't be helped.
                                          (Fritz Perls, "Gestalt Therapy Verbatim", 1969)

My Twinkles

Happiness, joy, laughter, love, smiles, giggles...

these girls are my heart they bring me so happiness 

these two here may be my greatest accomplishment 

They are sweet, loving, smart, intelligent, beautiful, funny, silly, motivated, ambitious, leaders, fearless and empathetic. These girls are going to do great things in this world.

My best friend

This man is my best friend.

 He knows me inside and out, I tell him everything, I like him more than anyone else, I want to give him the world as he has given it to me. I hope he knows how much happiness he brings into my world. I love how no matter what crazy off the wall idea I come up with he just takes my hand and backs my play. He loves me unconditionally, he cheers me on and walks beside me as I chase my dreams. Do to his current career he is gone for long periods so I savor our time together and cramming in as many adventures as possible into that time.  I hope our daughters find men who love them as much as this man loves me, I hope our girls find a best friend not just a mate. I wish for them to feel as blessed as I have.  I hope that when they share stories with their children about us and our relationship that they say it was full of laughter, love, jokes, friendship and that it was epic.

When our time together comes to an end I hope it's remembered with a smile and fondly... 

Cooney Reservoir Montana

I have to say out of everything we have purchased this tent here is definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made. I love it, the price was great I see it went up in price since I bought it but still a great deal when I grabbed it, it is huge inside plenty of room for 3 queen size air mattresses however I think I am upgrading the girls to cots this year snazzy is notorious for popping holes in air mattresses damn dog nails...anyways back to my love of this tent a huge window on one side wish the other side had a matching window but it is still nice the front and back side both have a window as well as a door which makes it nice with multiple entrances and did I mention it is huge inside ??? it can be divided into 3 rooms we only used the one main divider to make 2 large rooms which was perfect for privacy for changing clothes or adult cuddle time omg ...close your eyes yes we kiss while camping it gets cold at night in Montana..  Living life in a tent I could do it  

Bear tooth Highway Montana

Bear-tooth mountain Highway I could live right here. Let me tell you about these girls they are everything I have done right all packaged up in these little bundles of adventures they love to explore to see it, to touch it, to taste it and to experience it...These kids have traveled the world I love seeing these places through their eyes I wonder where their favorite place has been so far I need to ask them and update this blog...So far my favorite place is....some where in Montana 

Colter Bay Grand Tetons Campground Wyoming

It is funny how I say this isn't where we were headed but Thank You God for this being where we ended up the views stunning, the weather perfection, the campground nice but busy more busy than we prefer also it was a trek to the water we definitely are camping spoiled with being on the water every where we usually stay but I have to say even though it was busy and on the water it was drop dead beautiful and I would love to find another campground in the area on the water ...

             Snow capped Mountains Artic water but we only live once so we take a splash

                                                       
                                                               This is my tribe

Half Moon Campground Wyoming aka Skeeterville

Hey not where we were headed but this is where we headed up a little secluded a little overgrown but the lake was nice and it was super quiet the girls had a blast as usual...However the location was a hot bed feeding ground for the skeeters those blood suckers got us all good ....

On the road Wyoming

On the road again tripping our way through Wyoming working our way up to Montana. God was an artist when he created these two beautiful states. There is something majestic and magical about these places. It is June with snowy areas in the Wyoming Mountains the girls and snazzy had so much fun finding snow on a hot summer day granted up here it wasn't a hot day "Hey did we pack our winter coats and snow boots?" nah just bathing suits and sunglasses gang....Where in the world are we Waldo? Some where in the middle of Wyoming who cares where it's beautiful hope to stumble across this place again....I bet we could of drank the water right out of that lake...

                                     Climbed to the top of this snowy mountain hill

Lost in the woods in Wyoming

You hope in the Jeep and hit the road your final destination is known but you are going to wind around the off beaten paths, windy mountain roads and you stumble upon the perfect place to set up camp water running in the background, trees surrounding you in a welcoming hug...I don't even know if we could stumble upon this place again what a life we are blessed to live...

                                             Camping with my Tribe some where in Wyoming

Zen twitches

No stress this lady here is nothing but zen why worry about things you have no control over, why stress over what other people do, say or think...I think I stay young because I don't stress over things I can't control come on people life happens good shit, bad shit, planned shit, unexpected shit but at the end of the day I just roll with what ever blows in on the tide. So something that most people see as a negative or potential disastrous happens I stop, breath, stay calm and figure out how I am going to put a positive spin on it I look at it and say "How can I make this work in the positive for me?" so far in life this method has worked for me...I am not stressed, I am not angry, I am not pulling my hair out, I am not yelling or nagging or miserable, I am not running around panicked, I am not wrinkled, haggy, graying, cunty, crusty or stressed..No ulcers or high blood pressure building up inside me ready to blow like a capped volcano ...I am just my audacious self riding this roller coaster of life  

                I hope to be remembered for my positive outlook and for staying calm during shtf

Tipi living

I have to say spending a weekend in a tipi (also tepee or teepee) however you want to spell it was definitely on my bucket list I think I enjoyed it more than the tribe though. I guess I embraced my inner Native American roots more than my girls..Ok so it was chilly at times and the weather a little iffy sure some rain drops came in the hole on the top of the tipi and things got damp but still I had a blast I definitely would sleep in a tipi again. I have to say I wasn't really impressed with this Jellystone location though I didn't bring breakfast for Saturday morning since they supposedly offered a pancake breakfast on Saturdays according to their website advertisement get there nope no Pancake Saturdays then bounce house hours nope bounce houses did not go up the entire weekend we were there....the tipis sit on top of a hill you park in a parking lot and lug your stuff up stairs that honestly have seen better days they were very weathered looking and had some bend and bounce to them as you walked up...but to top it all off no fire rings at the campsites instead way back down at the parking lot there were community fire rings next to the cabins well 5 fire rings to be shared between 4 cabins, 4 tipis yeah need less to say luckily as experienced campers I had brought along our portable camping grill oh yeah and extra quick meals for that missing Saturday pancake breakfast...no parking near the pool and the kid bounce mat was way over yonder and even further away was the petting farm which was hands down the best park of the Jellystone camping trip. Our observation they probably make the most money out of the golf cart rentals since you absolutely need one unless you want to be trekking all around the place.... man I really want a tipi now

                                                         
                                                                  My tribe tipi life

A little farm of our own...one day

This is our goal, this is our dream a little place to call our own with animals to love on. I love how these people just dive right in they are so loving, caring and adventurous. Lets herd sheep and make friends with goats. One day I hope to give this things to my girls a little farm of their own.

Sisters

At the end of my life the only thing I wish for is that these girls, my girls love one another enough to be friends.  I tell them once I am gone all they will have each other I hope they can pull together to fill in the void that I will leave behind I hope they are good to one another, that they can pick each other up, cheer each other on, wipe each others tears, to be one another's sounding board. I hope they can be everything to one another that I hope I was to them. My loves big to little 

Sisterhood 

Great Wolf Lodge CS

Great Wolf lodge a little Easter getaway to lighten the girls mood after snazzy's surgery.  I am cheap so I found it expensive or maybe I am just spoiled with traveling so much that for this price I expect free breakfasts, in room kitchenettes,  Jacuzzi suites, or even Jacuzzi's period !! or a view heck a view would of been nice oh wait this state does not have view other than houses on top of houses and brown ....

Ate at some restaurant near the arcade area cafeteria food totally disappointed for the money shelled out if we were to stay again :/ we would eat some where else not at the lodge...save your money go else where! The room we stayed in was cute not a themed  room but cute, comfortable I was loving the hanging lanterns I need those...

Not an exciting view but of course my girls were checking it out 

 Like I say to my girls all the time take the leap, get in the tube and see what happens you might be scared and unsure but you aren't going to know if you hate it, like it, love it if you don't at least try it...So the question is did you die? no ...and nothing but excited smiles after each trip down...
