HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Tommorrow Alexis Ruby Dean will be 5 years old. I cant believe how fast that has gone by. It was just yesterday that Annikan told us she was pregnant. I feel such a bond with Alexis because Annikan and Mike shared so much of the pregnancy with us. Everything from the day they found out to all the Dr Appts, pains and every movement Alexis made. The weeks prior to her birth were so exciting. The day before Alexis was born Annikan called and said she was having a few contractions. We of course raced up to Pokey and hung out all day. We were so excited we just about bought everything in sight getting ready for her birth. We wouldnt go home so we got ready for bed and just as we were falling asleep Annikan and Mike woke us up and we headed to the hospital. We were up all night long and still no baby. It wasnt until the next day she finally came. It was so cool that Mike and Annikan let us be in the delivery room and part of the birth. I took so many photos it was awesome. Thank you Mike and Annikan for sharing it all with us. We love Alexis Ruby so much she will always be very SPECIAL TO US!!! Happy Birthday ALEXIS RUBY we love you very much. Cant wait to see you later today.

ISNT HE SO CUTE!!!

Why do we worry so much?

I worry about me kids and the problems they face. I know I cry alot about Jeremy and worry that we will never have a good relationship with him again. I worry about the grandkids that everything is okay with them. And then as if that is not enough, you have neices and nephews to worry about. Why cant we just all get along and live happily ever after? Why is there so many problems is the world? Why cant we wave magic wands and make everyone happy? ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN!!!!!!! Cherish every moment with everyone you know because you never know what will happen.

I am so glad that I get along with my siblings. It was nice last night to go to Phil and Andrias with Pam and Terry and our families and have a little cook out. We sat around the fire and ate (NASTY HOTDOGS) I dont even like them. We had cooked marshmallows that were perfect (thanks to Amber) and just sat and talked. It is so great to have FAMILY!!!! I love all of you!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Happy Birthday Honey!

Today is my husbands 39th Birthday.
I cant believe you are not yet 40. When will that day ever get here. Next month we will have known each other 12 years. Where did the time go. We have been through so much. He is everything that I could of ever wanted. He has taken such good care of me and my children. I cant help think where would I be without him. Funny how our lives change when we come to fork in the road of life. Who knew my divorce would be so wonderful. I love you so much and I am so glad we are sealed for eternity with each other. LOVE YA BABE!!!!!

Weekend in Spokane

In 1970 my father,A.J. Tondini, bought a 1914 Model T touring car while living in California. That same year I was born. Thirtyeight years later my dad passed that antique car down to me. This car has travelled from California, Oregon, Washington, Brithish Columbia, Montana, and Idaho. It still runs great. Yes it actually runs!! A few turns of the crank, and then a few more, then switch people cranking and it fires right up. Sandra and I went to Spokane to pick the "T" up, My brother Gene was also there to help fix any small items that needed fixing on the trailer and the "T". We are so excited to drive the car this summer!!!! Can't wait to take all the grandkids for a ride in Grampa T's "T". On a side bar note, lunch at the Thrifty Scotsman was as delicious as it was in High School, I even brought home some of the special tarter sauce...Yummy!!!! (if you've been there you know what I am saying)
