Lost and Found


 Brown asked me if I had any stories about her as a little kid, so I sent her here.  I haven't looked at this blog in forever.  It was fun to see the pictures and reread the entries.  I will do a small update.  

In November 2020 we moved as a family to La Grande Oregon.  We ended up buying a house and 4 acres in a little town called Cove.  All the kids went to school there except for Yellow who had graduated from North Summit in May of 2020.  Blue and Red graduated from Cove High School.  Then in June of 2025 we moved to Pullman Washington.  Green is working at Whitman County Hospital. He had been at Grande Ronde Hospital in La Grande.    

Lots of changes in our lives.  My mom died in 2024, Grandpa Dee died in 2023, we got another dog, and then gave him away, had chickens, ducks and geese in Cove.  We have been blessed by our Heavenly Father.  We have laughed, cried, won and lost through the years and are still trying to become who God knows we can be.  I love my family. 

The Eye (BROWS) have it!  Yes folks I did the unthinkable and went under the needles!  I had my eyebrows tattooed on and boy did it hurt!!  Here are a few pictures from day one!  Needless to say I am really second thinking going back to have touch ups done!  Now, here's . . . 
Guess who just joined our family!?!?  Her name is Cinderella.  She come last night and I put her right to work.  I love how quiet she is and how she is such a champ about cleaning!  Everyone needs a Cinderella.  Here's a picture our mine. . .

New Year, New Me

Can you believe it is 2014?!?!?  I cannot.  Time seems to fly by ever faster as I try to catch up.  This year has already been a busy one for our family.  My little brother got married in January, and Yellow turned twelve and became a deacon, and then little Red is now eight and was baptized!  I am amazed that I have children this old!  Green and I celebrated 16 years of marriage.
I have been reading other blogs, mostly women who have overcome great trials like the loss of a child or being in a horrific plane crash.  I have to say I rather feel like a Grinch because I am not the typical "fan" of these blogs.  I am blessed because I have not had to face these things.  I feel almost as if my life is charmed.  Day in and day out I am reminded of this.  Hopefully this year my blog will inspire my family to do and be better.
