Thanks for the update. Prayers for Kasey, I'm glad her children are doing well!

Thanks Kat! They are!!!!

Hi Stacy, I was just thinking of you the other day--really! Glad to get an update on your kiddos. Are you and Brian still traveling for jobs or are you in Oklahoma (I think Oklahoma is where you live??)

Hey Patti yes we live in OK and we have not been out of OK since before he broke his back we need a huge nice paying job......which means traveling but since we are in such a drought right now it is better we are home....our pond is dried up and we are having to feed and water the horses 2 times a day! Oh gosh I think I forgot we got a colt....I went to the doc for my first bout with poison ivy and came home and Brian said we had a baby I looked at my tummy and said I have put on weight but no they just said I have P.I! Anyway all of our horses have been given to us and one was preggo! We love the baby!! We let B's fav. great niece name her so she calls her Thunder (after the OKC basketball team) but Little Bit has stuck LOL!!

You were gone but not forgotten. try and post when you get a chance. congrats on the new baby!!

Hey Minnie.....I am just hooked up with family on FB and then we all know the horrid pinterest! I will go take some new pics of little bit she is to die for! Why we needed another colt God only knows right? They were all in homes who couldn't feed or take care of them so we do without so they are all fat and sassy between the dogs and the horses.....our table is slim pickings LOL!!!

So good to "hear" from you. Please drop in more often.

LOL Hounds thanks! I will try! Just alot keeping me busy and those dang bubble games on FB if I could get off of them I totally could post more! Supposed to start training for another 5k for this fall so since it is so hot and I am a baby been doing leg kicks in the pool 500 on my back and 500 on my tummy after that I am jello bhahhaaha!!!!! Other then the new pony not much news other then I hate OK weather I hate my burnt up yard and my horses not having anything to graze on.....Brian did put a mister up to help keep them cool and a fan so that is helping them but if I could I would move then in the house!

So good to hear from you. Contined prayers for Kasey. Glad Brian is healing nicely. Congrats on Little Bit :)

Are you still watching any of the Real Housewives series? I always enjoyed your thoughts on them. I'm still hooked lol

Hi, Stacy! How wonderful to hear from you and the good news about your children. Kasey will be o.k. - just stick by her as much as you can - I know it's difficult, but GOD has a plan.

I've been keeping track of you on FB , but it's nice to see you back "home", too!!

I'm sure Kasey and the grand kids are a big worry for you but everyone else seems to be on a good path right now. I hope it stays that way and that your main focus is on the good stuff and that which you can do something about. I know that is easier said than done but it's what keeps us sane. Good to hear from you.

Oh Matti I am hanging my head in shame...I have become a slacker but try and catch up when the hubs isn't home.....I will do my best to catch up and we will do a "talk thru the crazy post" LOL!!!!
Thanks Kay but right now there is no sticking by her...she has chosen her bad path again...she knows where she needs to go but I guess still hasn't hit rock bottom I send her up beat posts on
FB and that is all I can do right now...she takes blame for nothign in her life it is always someoen eles fault....
Yeah Phyliss yep I am a addict on FB but I have gotten so close with my cousins etc as all my family is gypsys n move around so it is great!!!
Gerogrysmom actually for the first time the GB's are not a worry because I know where they are and I know the families and how they are being taken care of before I know how they lived how they saw their dad beat their mom and both of the parents do drugs now these babies are seeing how life truly is.....as for Kasey we have offered and offered not sure what her bottom will be I fear it will be death but I can't help her anymore as she abuses the help I give her...sad for a mom to say that but I don't know what else to do! Thanks again! And I am sure I will get alot of negavtive commints on that last post so be it.....but that is how I feel she is on her own she has lost everything every wk I post to her offer to get her to rehab it is never her fault she doesn't need it I can't do any more for her!

Really good to hear from you and see that your Brian and kids are (mostly) all doing well. We all have to be wise enough to recognize our limits in providing help for our kids. ((((Stacy)))) (And, yes, we always want to do more!)

How far away are the kids from you? How often are you allowed to see them? I think about those poor kids so often. I hope they are all together, but probably not.

Stacy, you are doing the right thing regarding Kasey. She has chosen her path. I know it is hard to watch her, but you have your husband, other children and the grandkids. Be strong.

I just want to say Hi!!! and you are a very brave mother.You have do what you have to do may god be with you.I understand as I have a sister in the same place.

Hi Stacy thanks for the update. The most important thing to learn for me is that those beautiful Gb's are being taken care of in an environment that is safe and loving.They are away from the abuse.
I was so happy to read that.
Glad Brian is on the mend and the other children are all doing well.

Hi Stacy! So glad you stopped by..you will always be welcome here.

My heart goes out to you regarding Kasey...just so sad. :(

You are blessed with your blended family and your beautiful animals. Little Bit is a beauty...so is her mom. I know everyone will enjoy seeing a picture or two.

Hugs from me and see you on FB.

Hi Stacy. Glad to get the update. Sounds like there are many positive things in your life, and that's great.

As far as thinking you might get negative comments on your post about your daughter? How dare anyone do that. Unless someone has walked that path with a loved one, they have no right to comment on what they think you are doing right or wrong.

I will pray for you, your whole family, and especially your daughter. Like you said, she is the only one that can save herself, as hard as that fact is to accept.

Glad you stopped by and updated us. You have your hands full with all going on. I know what you're going through with the drought and all, we still have one pond with some water in it, out of 7 on this place. Going to take a long time and mucho rain to ever get them back in service.

Hard to imagine your youngest being a senior this year. Sounds like he's doing quite well with his music, good for him.

Stacy, I cannot imagine you getting negative comments on any post. You are facing the reality of life and that takes a strong, smart person. I'm so glad the grand babies are getting a taste of a normal life. I hope you get to see them often. God bless you all.
