"The Optimist Creed,"

Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud
word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to
the best that is in you.
***********************************************************************************
Note from Steph: I found this on the web today.....I love it....what if you took one of these a
week and that's what you worked on.....would you be a better, happier person at the end of
12 weeks ? Would the people around you notice a change ? Would the people around you
think you were happier and more content ? Pair this with the love of God and it pretty
much seems like you would be invincible !

So here is Wolfie and my monkey friend from when I was little....how creepy is this that back in the day someone was creating these very very strange "stuffed animals" for kids to play with ? It must of been genius marketing cause my mom bought me one and I played with it for years !!!

I was cleaning out my parents garage one day and came across him....I decided it was time to throw him away.....but snapped this pic of Wolfie and friend.....good times !!!

Madi




How cute is she ? Seriously people ? She works it out !!! In the words of Randy Jackson from American Idol !!! I'm still working on a few "secret" projects but just had to post these pics of Madi !! I got a new fancy slideshow program but am still having issues getting it to work !!! So I used photobucket for this one but it has no music !!! UGGGGG But even with all the issues it still does not take away how much I love taking pics !!!!! So just say CHEESE and check back later !!!!! :-)

OUCH !

So I guess that migraines run in the family.  Wolfie came down with a bad one tonight.  We were doing some work on the computer together and he started to not be able to see letters.  He said he had sun spots and was having a hard time seeing.  We gave him two Motrin and told him to get into bed.  Well about 30 minutes later he came out in so much pain.  We have him laying in our bed, with a wet rag on his forehead with the fan on.  These headaches are just like Rob got when he was a kid.  Mine are different with the way they come on.  Poor Wolfie !  I hope this is the last one he ever had.  If you have ever had a migraine.....you know what I'm talking about !

It's MayFair time again !!!! I'm posting this photo of Lexi from 2005...3 years ago. Ever since my hubby moved me back to this small town I get extreme joy of taking the kids to the MayFair !!! It's one of the oldest fairs in California ! My mil is the town Historian and I'm sure I could get exact dates from her but heck the Zipper is waiting along with a rolled taco and cotton candy ! No time to waste !!!

The kids get out of school early today and then it's a MAD MAD MAD rush to get them fed a decent lunch and then head out to the fair to get a decent parking spot and the kids INSTANTLY on rides and hooked up wtih their friends !!!! It's all GOOD !!!!

Last night the B-52's played and with the way the sound works in this little town they might of been in my backyard or at least down the street !! Love shack BABY !!!!

So check back soon partners for photos of the fairs little pleasures !!! Also maybe some good carnie footage ! LOL
