Really Sad

Hey Dallee Jo Bean I love you!

I found this cute pic of you and thought I would add your precious face to the day!

So, you know what's really sad to me??? When you post a couple of different blogs and the only people that comment on them are yourselves and your 14-year-old nephew that's giving you crap. That is pretty pathetic for us :0)

The Mann's have been super busy! I thought McKinley would be talking before I had a chance to post and give an update..... Believe me she's well on her way!

We found out Rylan has to be put to sleep to have his teeth worked on and a couple of them capped so he can actually keep them for a few years. He's been having a lot of toothaches and such, so we finally had to do something about that one. If any of you know Ammon and I you know that we are like the poster children for the most fillings in a mouth. I took a many a walks down to the dentist in Bicknell and I guess this is just one of those walks for Rylan that won't stop til he's 30. Bless his heart.....

Nothin else to really report. I've been observing some different schools for one of my classes and what I've found out is that Mr. Peterson really was a good teacher. He was a lot more dedicated and interested in our success than some of the people I'm meeting and talking to in this district. retirement won't come fast enough for them and the kids they torture everyday. I just hope you all realize the great teachers you once had, and be glad you don't have to ever have the crappy ones again. Hell I hope I can be one of those that kids want to have.

We're excited for Halloween I guess. I just barely broke down and got the kids' costumes yesterday. Nothin like the last minute, so we'll be posting some cute pics of a little Pirate Mate and little Tink.

P.S. Are we all as ready for this Damned election to be over as I am? I can't wait to stop listening to the backbiting and bickering bullsh**t! Heaven help us pick the right ones for the job!

This picture says it all!

I need not say a thing the photo speaks volumes. Pass the message!

1,2,3 guess who's off her knees????

Yes my little McKinley is walking. She had decided the crawling thing is outdated and she wants to keep up with the rest of us and walk. She's been so cute wabbling and learning how to stay upright. She is not quite 11 months yet, but she is well on her way to the big 1 year!!! I think these pictures are so cute of her and just wanted to share the big news of the week at our house!

This picture below is the silly sister doing her new thing of laying on the floor practically under my feet while I'm in the kitchen trying to cook or whatever. She's such a little ball of fire and a cuddly little precious munchkin! Notice the lip thing. I don't know how she learned to do it, but it's really cute. Oh, and by the way, the poor child does have another scary hairdo, I promise it's cute before the removal of the hair thingy :o) She'll probably hate me when she's old enough to look back at these pictures.

Food For Thought

This little saying is compliments of Joe Brown...(aka Nate) you know who you are. You sent me an adorable email the other day and it put a smile on my face. I just loved this little poem and picture. For some reason it really does seem like the minute we step foot out of bed the wind starts blowing against us. If only I could remember throughout the day how I'm supposed to act....... Joe, you're a good example and you're so precious. I love your innocence. Keep sending the cute pics.

Hello out there! Anyone still check us out????

Hey All! Greetings for the Mann's. It's been a very long time since we've posted. Here's a quick update of what we've been doing and what we still look like. So much has been going on we hope you all keep checking up on us. Between work, school, play, and more work we manage to still snap a few shots. I finally purchased myself a new camera that I Love, love, love and I am finally trying it out and posting some pics. We are enjoying the perfect weather around these parts and looking forward to Fall. The kids are growing and being little typical kids and life is good. Here's a few fun pics of the last few weeks. Later!

Lots of fun cousin time and playing. We love going to Aurora and spending time with everyone!

Double was quit the apple peeler. We whipped right through 'em like crazy ladies. Thanks for the fun times girls! Love Ya!
These are just a couple of fun pictures of McKinley. She looks like such a Wednesday's child, but she is just so precious. Her hair has quite the hot look!! Oh Baby!

We've been REALLY busy down south lately. I have been recruited to work back at my old job help to cover the hunters of the bunch and so McKinley and even Rylan have been able to spend some quality time with mommy at the office. For the most part they were good little munchkins, but I don't recommend it daily :o)

She was such a good little secretary! the people did have a hard understanding her though go figure.....

We've also been up to my big sis's house doing our yearly canning and bottling for the season. We had a ton of spagetti sauce, tomatoes, juice, beets, pears, beans, etc, etc, etc. by the time we were finished and most of all we had a ton of fun working together and being industrious souls ;o)

Little catch up day

Have you ever seen something so cute as this picture of thes guys and their dad? We were playing at the station trying on these hats and I just think this is the funnest little picture ever.

Seriously, when McKinley gets older and she sees that bow on her head, she'll probably start to cry. You try to do cute things with their hair and whatever, but it ends up making them look like it's the attack of the bows. I got a bunch of these darling bows from Mary and I love them, but McKinley doesn't have the hair for them yet and I don't have the talents for them yet, so in time we will hopefully get the hang of it.

So, I thought I would finally catch up with you all for a minute today. It's been a crazy couple of weeks with starting school and working and momming, and everything elsing...... You all know what I'm talking about and sometimes it gets the best of you. I have decided to take a blogging breather today and fill you in a little. Plus, I have gone ahead and done the "responsible" thing with some of my student loan and I bought a laptop computer that I LOVE!!! I'm so stoked about it. I made Ammon take a lunch break with me the other day to go and get it and I'm trying it out today. I have never bought a computer for myself. I have somehow always had one, but I really have a nice one now that I can use for my schooling, blogging, and whatever else I decide :o) I have decided I love school. It has been really hard making the transition back and trying to get the brain to do new things again, but I am really excited to be taking classes toward my major and not those dreaded required ones anymore. I will keep you posted on us and you can be sure some of you will be getting used in some of my assignments and courses. Take Care All!

You Belong in 1974

Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all!

What Year Do You Belong In?

I'm gonna have to say I think this one might fit sorta.... I like to think that I take life by the horns, but really it's got me upside down by my toenail and shaking the *--* out of me.

Give it a whirl see where you are.....
