Shayna's Horse Show and the Free Stormy horse
Shayna had her and Stormy's first horse show yesterday. They did really good. They placed in 3rd all day. Stormy has been learning how to do shows after his being a trail horse for 14 years. It was all new to him. Shayna did a great job on teaching him how to slow down and all that fun stuff. They did not do the trail class though. Shayna felt he was not ready for that. I am proud of her ending the day on a good not with Stormy.
Stormy's old owner Pam came to watch them do this show. Pam said it was bitter sweet. She misses him (stormy) but is happy to see that he is well love and that his new mommy spends everyday with him. Pam was selling Stormy for 7 years. A few days after Shayna's horse Bucks died from last years California's wild fires, he had asthma Shayna started looking at horse to find a price range that was fair. While looking at one site she saw Stormy. She came in to me and said mom he is the one. So we e-mailed Pam , she called us back (at the time she wanted $1200.00 for him) , we set up a time to go see him.
We went to see him, brought our animal photo book. Pam watched how Shayna and Stormy did withe each other. We asked if she had other people coming to see him , Pam said yes. I asked her to call us after she has made the choice on who his mew person would be.
Pam started crying and said Shayna is it, she is the one she has been looking for the the last 7 years! She said she wanted Shayna to be his new mommy. We all started crying, even hubby got teary eyed.
We ended up buying Stormy for $1.00 . Why a whole $1.00?? For a bill of sale. God Blessed us all. We got a new horse, new family members Pam, Keith, their kids and grand-kids.
We had this picture taken for Pam & Keith as a thank you:
This is Shayna's graduation picture with Stormy.
This is a picture of Stormy:

I am so proud of Shayna. Yesterday at the end of the show she gave Pam Stormy's 1st horse show ribbon that he ever earned. That made me tear up real good. Shayna blessed Pam , Pam blessed Shayna. I am blessed to be Shayna's mom.
God Blessed, mj
prayer needed,scared,hospital,190,mad,worried,sad & up date
Yesterday started out so fun with the grand-babies, we had a blast. Michelle let them stay later because Shannon (my hubby) had an employee (his driller) get something in his eye. Hubby is an operations mangers for an environmental drilling company. Thank you Michelle. Hubby and I had fun playing out side with the babies. But later.
Scared: After dinner I started to get an upset stomach and it felt like an allergic reaction one. I waited a few minutes to see if it was or not, then took some of my medicine to see if that would stop it, NO. After a few minutes it got worse so I called 911 and gave my self a shot. By the time help got here I was red and trowing up. The give me an i.v. and get started taking me in. Hubby was talking to them. The girls left to take the babies back to Michelle. So off I go , scared because I/they never know if it is going to be a mild hospital visit or an i.c.u hospital visit. I was crying because I was upset at having another and I wanted my husband!!
Hospital: As soon as the ambulance gets me in the parking lot it hit worse. The hospital advised the ambulance to not give me more medicine I had enough, ugh wrong. The run me in and I get a bunch of shots because what I did not take was enough. The hospital brought up my records and said she has a BIG record here she needs this. Thank God I asked for my usual hospital because of that reason. I let early because I got better and was back to normal, ok normal, for me after a reaction! They wanted to admit me for 3 hours! Hello no. So I did an AMA. I know my body and if I was not feeling normal and did not wait to see if it would come back again after the medicine wore off.
190: This hospital visit was my 190th one!! I have had more reactions than that a ton more. That number is just my hospital visits in 16 years.
Mad: because it happened again! It has been almost a year. And they wanted me to be admitted for 3 hours. The hospital can NOT feed me at all and it is verry hard for them because I am sooo allergic to all of the cleaners they use. I scare most of the dr.'s and nurses. When I broke my leg my dr. kept telling me how scared he was to operate on me. He told me I scared him **** less. He told me so many times how much I scare him because of my allergies. What a good feeling know you have to go under when you are suppose to and having the dr. tell you he does not want to operate because he is so scared. Thank God for the anasteseologist he made me feel good about it and told me not to worry.
Worried: because I do not like these , I hate them, I am scared I will have more. I am always afraid I am going to die and leave my family. I know I have no control of when God calls me home, but I still worry about leaving my hubby and babies. Shayna's 1st horse show is in the morning I want to go , but am a little bit worried about it after last night.
Sad: I missed our adopted daughter wedding . That hurt me so bad. We sent the girls to watch their sister get married , they sent me pictures while it was going on.
We never know what sets me off like that. It could be a build up of my allergies and then I am exposed to a thing I am allergic to and off we go. Or being exposed to one of my HIGH allergies and off we go. My dr. who treated me for 10 years believes it is the 1st one.
I would like to ask for prayer. For strength to go one with out fear, for me to recover , for me not to worry like I do and play it over and over in my mind. And for my family as they take over again as I recover.
God Bless and thank you so much, mj
P.S. Update: Michelle texted Kristi my youngest daughter. Michelle asked if I was doing better ?. Kristi said yes. Michelle wrote back ****! . How rude . Is it ok to love your child but to not like them from time to time????? Because I love Michelle , but sometimes I just do not like her. She is not the woman we brought up!!!
Fun, Fun , Fun
We have had a great day with the babies today. Michelle let the babies spend the day here with us . They made brownies for Bubba and had so much fun doing it and tasting the batter. I will post pictures latter.
We took them to thrift store. Jeffie found a toy airplane and Maddie a soccer ball. We found a cute nurses top for Marty (the dog) to wear on Halloween. We go spend the night at our church and Marty always dresses up. We will take pictures of him dressed up. The girls are making Marty a girl again this year. He has been Snow White, a fairy I do not remember what else girl wise they have made him. Last year he was a dragon. The poor Dog, sad to say he loves it!
From the thrift store we got:
2 pairs of jeans $11.98
1 western show shirt to sell on ebay .99
1 new show shirt for Shaynas horse show $1.99
1 show vest for Shaynas horse show $1.99
1 nurses shirt for the dogs Halloween outfit $3.99
1 toy airplane $1.99
1 soccer ball $1.99
1 stuffed horse .59
All that for $19.93
The jeans were $5.99 each a little high I think, but tonight it was 30% off your total. I think we did good.
God Bless, mj
Our daughter is getting married in the morning
I can not wait for Morning, our daughter Dejah is getting married!!!
We adopted Dejah almost 7 years ago, where has the time gone??
Dejah came into the family when Scooter came into our family, she was his girlfriend. Scooter came over as a 4 H friend and never left ! Dejah has lived here while going to college. Even though she and Scooter have broken up a long time ago, we kept her.
To us Dejah is a real daughter even though she was not born to us.
We have told her soon to be hubby that we want a grandchild or them to be expecting one within two years ! Joseph just smiled, but Dejah said ok, she wants a baby soon too!
Here is a picture of Dejah:
God Bless, mj
How Rude and a cute picture
Most of you know the trouble we have with our oldest daughter Michelle. Well this tops it. She got up set with us a few days ago because we wanted to take the grand-babies to the fair to have an old time picture done. She would not let us see them because we do not respect her as a mother.
Well Shannon talked to Michelle and told her why we did not tell her about the picture we wanted to have done is because we wanted a nice picture to give her for Christmas. Michelle said why did we not tell her? Hello it was for Christmas.
So any way we just got a text that she went and had the picture done we were going to do for her, @$#%$%$%&^ . Michelle is such a vindictive little girl, not a woman. How rude of her do that when she knew we were going to.
Michelle gets in these moods and likes to hurt people, we do not know why but she does.
We are going to do something else with the babies when we see them in the morning. Maybe take the babies to Disneyland or the movies???
Here is the picture she took tonight: Gill, Michelle and The Grand-babies Jeffie And Maddie:

Cute Picture never less. Jeffie looks so proud, Maddie looks lost.
Thank you for all everyone's prayers and kind words. It means a lot to me and the family.
God Bless, mj
The problem with Michelle cont............
We found out that Michelle is upset because we did not tell her that when we wanted to take the babies to the fair we wanted to have a special picture taken to give her for Christmas.
Hello, it was for Christmas!!
But now we get the babies on Friday to take them to the fair and have the picture taken. But she will not talk to us still.
All because we wanted to something special for her.
God Bless, mj
Prayer needed please pray for us
My family and I need prayer. Michelle is keeping the grand-babies away from us all. She says it is because we do not respect here as a mother. Well that is true, but she does not need to keep the babies away. It all came a head last week when Shannon's mom come over to visit us. We invited Michelle and Gill and the babies over to have dinner with us all. They got there 1/2 late. After dinner Michelle asked me if we would watch the babies while she goes to get a blood test done at 8am. I said no we can't at that time. That she needs to take the babies with her and have them in a stroller. She says what stroller I said the one we bought her. She said she loaned it to her friend and it got stolen, so buy me another one! I told her to get a job! She has not worked a day in the past 6 months and wants everyone else to support her.
After all we have done for her she pulls this stuff!! We feed her , the babies and her boyfriend. We pay for her gas and help her out. We are done helping Michelle. She needs to stop playing these little games. We will care for the babies and help support them . But Michelle she needs to grow up and become a mom to her babies. Not go from guy to guy trying to get pregnant and looking for the easy road by having each new guy care for her and the babies. Gill is the 3rd daddy they had this year!
We do not respect Michelle as a mom. Her sister have raised the babies as much as she has. They cry when she takes them away from here. Jeffie has a mother and son bond with Shayna not Michelle. Maddy calls Kristi mommy. When Michelle brings the babies over Maddy run to Kristi and says "Mommy I am home". When Michelle and the babies are here Maddy calls Kristi mommy not Michelle.
We cloth and feed the babies. We take care of them a lot of the time. They have lived here over 1/2 of their lives. How could we respect her as a mom.
A mom does everything for her children. Not have everyone else do it. Yes, mom's need help and family is a wonderful help. But the problem is Michelle does not help herself or help the babies. It would be different if she did something for the babies. How could you go for 6 months with out buy food for your children ? Or with out giving them a home? She will live place to place , with person to person. At least until she got pregnant again, now she lives with Gill and his parents. How can a grown woman with 2 babies and 1 on the way have him and his family pay for everything and not do anything to help them help her.
We would feel different if she was doing something.
I / we are hurt over her keeping the babies away from us.
She will want or need something and then she will be oh so sweet, but sorry we are going to play your game.
Please pray for us.
Godd bless, mj

Hubby Fishing Trip , his call
Posted on Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 06:53 by m j - 0 Comments - Post Comment - Link
Hubby is spending a this weekend in Mexico fishing on a yacht! He took four clients on this trip. I love his company and so does he. They pay him to go fishing and pay for what ever boat he picks. They even send him on fishing tournaments in different states. What perks he has !!
But my favorite part is when he calls me to see how we girls are doing. I love it when he tells me how much he loves me and misses me. It is neat that while he is out having fun doing his favorite thing he calls when he can to just send his love.
I love this man God sent me to be my husband, what a blessing he is.
God bless, mj
My grandson's cute words
I just love my grandchildren!
My grandson says some cute things, of course he is 3.5 yrs old.
When he helps us cook he is not a cook, nope "he's a fry cook" 
Maybe he watches TOOO much Spongebob, just maybe.
Here is my little fry cook:
And one more:
More of his words:
On asking him if his aunties are a girl or a boy?
He says you are a pirate , boy or auntie, but not a girl !
When he plays with Bubba's (my hubby) hard hat, he is NOT a fireman he is a "Firework".
Jeffie is a cute little one.
Next post on Maddie his sister.
God Bless, mj
