Wise of the Wise

I am not.   Everyone is talking about reflecting and letting go to usher in a clean slate of a New Year...

ME............................................................

Its all about the shenanigans..... lets wave bye-bye through gritted teeth on all the crap and slam the door on 2015.   This no way implies that 2015 was a crappy year, but lets face it the whole year is over (there are no do overs when it comes to time) so be gone, so long, ta ta, get lost, and don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya!

Today at the office we are having some joviality playing
  and it is hysterical... It makes me very happy when we are all sharing laughs.  I have to say the rotten egg is simply disgusting and I gag and spit it out...

Tonight it will continue with Wheel of Fortune, cards, dice and more shenanigans that only my friend (Noodle Ninja) and I can create.

Walking in to 2016 like this is the best

Closing 2015

is almost here... 

My kiddos on Christmas day, graced me with a quick photo that was smiles instead of facial quirks.



We will celebrate with the Rumsey's at the annual ugly sweater party new years eve (always the best of times)

Still waiting to close on the property.  I guess the lawyers are doing their best to make up lost revenue out of our pockets.  Guess what guys they are empty.... Instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul, we have been mugging him.

We took some holiday cheer (our homemade caramel corn) to our new neighbors on Christmas Eve and were greeted with wonderful smiles, thanks and good conversation.  These people are really nice.  I finally got to meet both ladies of the home and more of our Amish (Elim and Barbara) neighbors children, I look forward to getting to know them better.

The good stuff

Our Amish neighbor came over to help when he saw us putting up the horse barn.  

Gingerbread Boot camp 2015 


We were missing Hailie but we made it work.  I do not know why my phone has been putting lines through my photos :(

Love all my kiddos, they just make life worth it.


Our tiny 2015 tree.  There just has not been time to go out and find a tree so making do with what we have.


We are still busy getting us and the animals settled in.  Warmer temps have been a blessing while we have had lots of outside work to do.

I find myself not getting a lot done in the evenings.  I sit down and the next thing I know its several hours later and my neck has a crick in it from falling asleep.  Nate was over last night to visit  find food and I sat down and promptly fell asleep, I woke up when he laughed at me.  I felt horrible about not being very good host.
