Will's art work!

Will worked very hard on his rendition of a beaver dam on the Missouri river in Springtime! Beautiful art work if I do say so myself! He is such a creative little boy!

Summer Time!!!

Hi, I'm back and so is summer! We have been swimming and playing and just plain goofing off! My how my boys have grown. We had our first fireworks stand this summer and it was a huge success! Bomber Brothers Fireworks was Uncle Franks idea! It was definitely a long two week adventure but totally worth it in the end! I meant to add those pictures below the words, guess I'm a little rusty!

Guess what??? I got a new job! I am now the secretary at Warren Elementary School! I am so excited to see kids and work with families again! I am nervous about starting a new job again but I know this is God's plan for me and I am following His lead! Here's to a great new school year for all of us!

Dano is going into middle school this fall and Will will be in 4th grade a Rossiter Elementary! And Andrew well, he is 3! Enough said about that! Bill has been working his fingers literally to the bone and is wishing it was winter again! Summers are hard on Bill because me and the boys get to do a lot of playing and he gets to do a lot of working. He's still trying to find a way to retire early, very early! Good luck with that honey! Here are some more pics of the beautiful summer days we have had! TTFN!

busy, busy, busy!!!

My goodness it was a busy weekend! Bill and I took the kids up to Holter Lake just before the snow started! Thankfully we made it back home before the roads got bad! Then I spent the afternoon baking Christmas cookies with my sisters and my Mom and friend Tracy. It was a blast! We made Trilbies, Snickerdoodles, Peanut Butter Fudge, and Orange Snowball Cookies! YUM! I think I gained 10lbs. just thinking about baking them! I am taking most of mine to a cookie exchange tomorrow night. Next I raced home to get ready for an evening out with my hubby. My Aunt Sherry and Uncle Kim took Bill and I out for dinner at On Broadway. First they presented Bill with a plaque that they had made for him to put on their porch as a way to honor his amazing work. He rebuilt most of the front of their home and yard last summer! My husband is an amazing builder! We ate and visited for about 4 hours! What a nice time! Then we decided to head to Wal-Mart to do some Christmas shopping for the boys that are spending the night up at Holter Lake with Grandma Lila and Papa John! It was soooooooooo nice to be able to start and finish a whole conversation! Anyway we ended the night around 11:00 when Hastings closed! Today was fun too! Lila and the boys made it safely into town from Holter Lake for church and then Lila and I stayed and wrapped presents for the Angel Tree at church. Then we did a little shopping and went home! Lila made it back up to Holter Lake safe and sound and all is well with the Fields Family tonight! Made God richly bless your week! Love you all!

Sing unto the Lord a new song!

Well, after the death of our Grandma Nancy, my children have made me realize that I still have much to be happy about! We spent last Friday evening at my Aunt & Uncle's home to reminisce and just enjoy that fact that Grandma is in heaven now! I am so thankful! This is a picture of Drew enjoying the fire place at my Aunt Sherry & Uncle Kim's home!

Andrew & Jacksen sharing a big snuggle in front of the fire place! They really do love each other! We also went to the Festival of Trees last Saturday afternoon to watch Will sing in the choir for his school. Cousin Sean Patrick was here from Chicago to enjoy the festivities and enjoyed a moment with his sweet little Andrew! Sean and his wife Hope are expecting another baby in March! I think Sean was missing his sweet little boy Finn! I know I was!

If you look front and center you will see my handsome boy Will getting ready to sing! What a total cutie! He did a wonderful job! He is such a joy! Watch out guys he is gonna be a chick magnet when he gets older! :)

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers during the past few weeks! Love to all!

Giving is Living!

I think this should be my new motto for 2010! I am so thankful today that my sister recreated my blog site yesterday for me! I am also thankful for my many friends, family and the people that God puts in my path at just the right moments. I am so very thankful that I know my Grandparents are in heaven! My prayer today is that those of you who don't know Jesus will ask him to come into your heart today and save your soul! He is the way the truth and life! No one can come to the Father except by Him! I love you all, Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Bye Grandma Nancy

This beautiful little Gramma of ours went to be with the Lord yesterday. I am so sad for me today but I am rejoicing with God that one of his daughters went home to be with Him yesterday! She was a truly amazing woman. This beautiful lady never said an unkind word about anybody! I know that is hard to believe but that is how she lived her life. She had an unwavering strength about her in everything that she faced. She was a mother of 3 boys and a grandmother to 4 girls and one boy. Then much to her delight she was the great grandmother to 8 boys and 4 girls. She was just the best. I will miss her so much but I am very happy today that she is back with my Grandpa and all her sisters and parents that died before her. Love and miss you Grandma Nanny!
