It's TRUE!!!!!!
Simon Delivers has been bought out by Coborns Company! It was in the paper that customers of Simon Delivers will keep their current accounts and Coborns will reopen in October as www.CobornsDelivers.com. I can't even tell you how happy I am right now! Thank you to my mother-in-law for religiously reading the paper to inform me of such news! You Rock, Minda! For me, finding time to grocery shop, spending time with my kids and even to spend time with my forever working husband is crazy! On top of that, I keep going to Target to grocery shop and it is getting expensive, because you want to wander the other areas. It is great because I can develop a grocery list as the week progresses and click "check-out" and I am done. Life is good, my friends. Life is good.
I am a mother of two wonderful little boys and a beautiful little girl that fill my life with joy everyday. I am a stay at home mom with a wondeful military husband. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and I wouldn't be who I am without him. This is our adventure together...

It drives me bonkers when....
...my one year old, Wyatt, has to do exactly what my two year old wants to do.
...my two year old, Hayden, plays with his food after being told a million times not to.
...my Wyatt sleeps for 40 minutes and thinks that is enough for the day.
...my Hayden throws a temper tantrum because he is "all done night-night" and he hasn't even went to bed.
...Wyatt wants to cry at me the minute I get to sit down.
...Hayden screams when the babies scream or play his "instruments" at a screeching pitch.
...Wyatt throws a tantrum because he can't play with the dirty mop and nasty bucket.
...Hayden hits and he thinks it is another way to say "hi" more than once a day!
...Wyatt wants to get out of the shopping cart by standing on the seat even locked in - those straps don't go tight enough!!!!
...Hayden thinks it is funny to scare the crap out of the cats!
but,
It makes me smile when...
... Hayden give Wyatt kisses because he is upset.
...Wyatt gives Hayden kisses goodnight.
...Hayden sings 'Happy Birthday" just because he can.
...Wyatt sings "Grey, squirrel. Grey Squirrel" just so I will sing the rest to his favorite part that makes him laugh everytime.
...Hayden gives kisses to anyone and everyone just because he is happy.
...Wyatt says "hi" consecutively to everyone with a smile.
...both Hayden and Wyatt give me kisses, they really mean it and when they give me hugs they hold on to me like they never want to let me go.
...Hayden and I have our own way of giving "kisses" with noseys, kisses on the nose and butterfly kisses.
...Wyatt gives me kisses, it consists of a wide open mouth and then a forehead to fore head moment.
It's the little things that make my job worth it...

My husband and I had a great loss in our family. My husband's cousin Niki has died. As pictured: Niki is far left, AJ is in the middle and I am on the right. This picture was taken her last trip to Minnesota in July 2005. Thank you AJ for the picture-I forgot that we took this one! Niki lived in Texas near her parents and sister Natalee(18) and brother Nathan (16). Ronnie's mom and other family members hopped planes and drove the 20 hours down to Texas. We are uncertain of when the memorial actually is, but maybe on Monday or Tuesday. Ronnie's cousin AJ explains the situation and details perfect:
"This will be a gut wrenching weekend for all and I, once again, ask that you keep them (us) in your prayers. The details of Niki's passing, I feel, should be kept mostly private and between family and friends. With this being such a public forum I do not want to risk exploiting anyone.What I can tell you is that Niki's death was most unexpected and a devastating shock to my entire family. My little cousin Nathan did try and save his older sister. My uncle did not want to leave her side and needed assistance doing so. Such tragedy is enough to take the breath straight from your body. I feel like I have so much I want to say, but at the same time, cannot piece together any words. ... Thank you all for being my listening ear and support.We are broken and sad, but your kind words lift our spirits."
I only got the pleasure of meeting Niki once. She was a sweet and heart warming person. When she walked into a room it lit up and she would make anyone feel welcomed to talk with her. It is so hard to accept such a young soul to die, but she will live forever in our hearts. It is amazing someone so young could touch so many people.
We are praying for her family down in Texas who's pain is intense, even more so than ours. Please pray to keep her family strong through this painful and very difficult time. We will miss you Niki and we are sorry to see you go...
