Happy Thanksgiving!!

For Thanksgiving, the family went out to Ocotillo Wells to spend the day/ night with my sister Lorrie and her family and friends. We had a great time!! Reedley and Raidon loved playing in the dirt and getting filthy! We fried turkeys and Lorrie and her friend Shelly made a wonderful meal of mashed taters, green bean casserole and of course dressing. It was delicious!
At night while sitting by the campfire, Mark and Denny deep fried ANYTHING that people would bring them. They fried pickles, bananas, cheese, twinkies, snickers, pumpkin pie, marshmellows, and apples. Everything was sooooo good!!!
Anyway, we had a great time!! The only thing that would have made it better is if we had our own toys to ride on! BooHoo:(!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!

No Goodbyes...just see you later!

The entire video would not download. I wanted to share the final photo of the video with you. Mark took it this summer and when he snapped it, we both knew that this was the photo that said it all. My Dad will be missed by many but none will miss him as deeply as his children and grandchildren!


I love and miss you Daddy,

The greatest man I knew!

I know that I have not posted in a while but for those of you who know me, you know why. My father has been battling cancer since February and unfortunatly he lost his fight last Tuesday. He was a wonderful man and a terrific father. He will be greatly missed. I wanted to share the video that Mark made for his services. Please enjoy the memories we will carry with us.

We love and will miss you Papa Joe!!
