{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

{Fall Party}

Each year our family has the Conner Fall party in which we have so much fun. Food, sweets, games, prizes and lots of laughing fill this family event. Needless to say memories are made.

This year me and my daughters dressed like Superheros. I don't know who was more shocked at my auburn wig...my man or my grandkids! 

One of my grandgirls told me the wig made me look younger....I MIGHT BE WEARING IT MORE OFTEN!

My grandbabies sure had fun as always.


GAME TIME....


Needless to say the kiddos lined right up to throw the ball and knock down the cans. We definitely have some PITCHERS.


And the party would not be complete without tossing the balls into the pumpkins! Especially when they are going to win LIVE GOLDFISH!


 

Who can have a Fall party without playing "Go Fish"?.


The object of the game was to knock over the bottles without using your hands!


Another little Pitcher up to throw!


Pumpkin carving is always fun.
 

More game time with the kiddos.
 

My fatheirnlove thought he would show us how to walk the PLANK!


The Mummy wrap! 


This little one could care less about any of it....just let her eat the pumpkin and she was happy.


Proud of their carved pumpkins.
 

Everyone wanted to know why my man didn't dress up like a Superhero. His answer: I am a SUPERHERO for putting up with 4 women in my life all these years!
 

We had lots of Superheros this year at  our party! Can't wait to see what we come up with next year. 
 

Hot dogs and chili enjoyed by all....


We ended our day with a hay ride and story time. We actually had games that we didn't play because the ADULTS was wore out!!!
 

Our newest PUMPKIN is on the way so what better pumpkin for my daughter to carve than a baby pumpkin!


And we're having a gender reveal party this Sunday evening to reveal what this sweet little pumpkin will be! (lots of pictures to come I am sure)


 I hope that you all have a safe and happy Halloween. Enjoy family and friends...Make some memories and Happy Fall! 
 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. I felt like I was right there! Your family sure knows how to throw a party and have fun. Our family use to dress in costume when our girls were in college so I know how much fun you guys had. It's great when everybody gets into it like this. I love seeing families laugh together like this! You are ever beautiful, Cindy.

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
