Don't try this while DRIVING

I wanted you all to know that I am a trained professional. This is the only reason why I can have my little precious LadyBug on my lap, well bellyish area, while driving. She actually is trying to sit on the stearing wheel. Lauren, LadyBug and I are on our way back from Rentown. We were sent on a mission by my Dad to get him some cheese. LadyBug knows that I have Mondays off and insists on going with me.

I asked Lauren to take our picture. I am traveling at the speed of 55ish, smiling at a camera with a dog on my lap. What the hell is wrong with this picture? Your right, I should have had Lauren trying to be in the photo also.

Have a great HOT week.............

Baby is 16! OMG!

Sweet Sixteen and never been kissed? I don't think so? Puker up those lips, GIRL!

Where did all the time go? If you know her, then you will know that she is a GIRLY Girl. But loves FOX RACING!

Have a great Birthday!

Love Ya tons! Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Kevin

Father's Day 2009

I think that I have the BEST Dad in the whole wide world. Let me tell you some things about my Dad that makes me think so!

1. When we lived in LaCrosse, and I was in 1st grade I made an ornament for our Christmas tree. It was the shape of a Chrismas tree, with our class photo on it. Well my dad was such a great aim, with a BB gun, that he was able to shoot my picture out of the photo, while the ornament was hanging on the tree!
2. When living in LaCrosse, Lori and I experimented with gas. We decided to fill up the lawnmower by our selves. We put the nozzle in and squeezed with all our might. Well, it didn't take much to fill it. We got it in our eyes, and when we told our Mom, we were given the choice to go to bed with no supper or get a spanking from our Dad. We chose no supper. Well my Dad came up to our rooms and said we had to come down stairs. We didn't want to, and really didn't want the spanking. Well he just sent us down stairs, after a gentle swat on our butts, and we were off the hook!
3. My Dad took us sleding. He drove the truck, with Lori, Richard and I all on the sled, with a long rope driving ever so cautiously? Boy did he show us a good time!
4. Also while living in LaCrosse, my Dad taught me to own up to it, when I did something wrong. When my Grandpa came over and asked who ran over a kitten. I was able explain to him that no one ran it over, it was me that stepped on it while wearing my mom's shoes. It just ran under the car to die!
5. When I broke my elbow in 5th grade, he was going to be the doctor and decided that my arm needed to be amputated. He chased me around the shed with a chain saw! He taught me that I needed to get tuff!
6. He gave me my nick name Beulah Beaver. It is so original I don't have to worry about someone else using it. I really feel loved. (After the kitten story maybe he should had called me Bertha)
7. When I had a problem with varmits (opposum), while living in my trailer, he told me I was going to have to take care of the problem. And I did, I used paving bricks and smashed everyone of them damn things, all because of my Dad!
8. When my car broke down and I started walking home, and a black man stopped to give me a ride, my Dad just drove by and looked at me! Way to go Dad, you taught me that there are no strangers in the world.
9. When I was little and used to go with him, when he was working he taught me I could have what ever I wanted, I just had to work at it. So Lori, Richard and I wanted a Christmas tree at this job site and we stole it by hiding it in the bunk of my dad's semi. Little did we know that my Dad was hauling Christmas trees for this guy and we could have had any one we wanted out of the back of the trailer!
10. He doesn't take any shit from anyone and will stick up for us, to his dying day! Right Lori, didn't he come and protect you at the school, driving your car like a wild man?
11. He love's his family and shows it in his own special way. Like writing with an ink pen on our foreheads or feet for our mother to read. Naughty words for everyone!
12. He is not a hallmark kind of guy, and if he sent a card we would have him commited!
13. Dad your the best, I love you just as you are!

After reading this, I know that ALL of you will also think that he is GREAT and you will be jealous that he's not your DAD!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

I love you ~

Your number 1 daughter

Suzi (no not Lori!)

P.S. Happy Fathers Day, to my Husband Kevin, and brother's Richard and Norman. With some practice you can turn out to be Great Dads! Wait you already are! Love Ya!

Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Ducka Ducka Do!

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? This is almost weekly in our neighborhood. O thats right, we live in the country!

I was trying to take pictures with out having the flash on. I have no idea what is going on, but we always have front row seats.

You can see the policeman on the left outside the car. I was watching thru the screen door on the front of our house.

Tonight there were 4 Police Cars, You can only see 3 of the cars in the picture.

We love the simple life!

Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny, GO!

Ok, so like my Aunt is in her 80's and she decided (or her son Skee decided) that she was going to try her first KEG STAND! Skee is gently (I'm sure gently) HOISTING her in the air. Hey he could use a little help!

With some help and her Granddaughter Anna, telling her what she needs to do to get the beer, I think she is going to succeed.

Mission Accomplished! Way to go Aunt Ella! This is a great 3 generation photo. Grandma jacked up with her legs in the air, son laughing his ass off, and granddaughter inserting the spicket so Grandma can git some BEER!!!!!!! (PRICELESS)

GIT R DRUNK!

PLANT them and they will make you SMILE!

Today I bought 8 Gerbra daisys. They were in the back at Lowes. I believe it was the hospital, because these plants needed some TLC. I bought them for 2.49 each. That is a far cry from the 9.95 each that they were originally marked. I haven't thought of a place for them yet, but I had to buy them.

Full view of my flower bed. I have been working on this for years. I think that it is looking good. Kevin helped me weed yesterday. Wait let me rephrase that, Kevin weeded the flower bed yesterday. I helped, for about 20 minutes and then gave up. He has more patience than I do.

My poppy plant has 30 pods that are just now opening. These are so pretty. I hate that at the time that they are going to open, it seems like we get big storms and the winds really beat these plants up.

If you look closely, you can see that a BEE is even enjoying the plant. I have to stalk all my plants and take their pictures.

This is a new Knock Out rose bush. It is blooming its head off. I wanted something bright that you could see from the road.

This is my garden Kitty. Her name is Ricochet and she was 10 on May 31st. She loves to hunt and if you look at her, you can see that she is zoned in on something in the yard.

I love my gazing ball. This is something else that makes me think of my Grandma Wolff. She always had one, and we called them "Old Lady Balls". Now I have one, so I must be thinking of a new name for them.

I planted different color geraniums in this set up and Kricket pulls one out about every 4 or 5 days. I'm going to beat her if she doesn't stop!

Signing off for now ~
