Congratulations Nebraska Cornhuskers...

On your win over the COLORADO BUFFALO'S!!!!!!and On a great regular season.......CONGRATULATIONS! You guys have given us a wonderful and impressive season..oh yeah....we have had wins, we have loses, but I am so proud of the huskers for all you have done off and off the field. Each one of you have volunteered to do various things and given your time to not only play football but use your notoriety to affect the things that really matter. You haven't played in the Big 12 Championship since 1999 and congratulations boys......now bring us home that Big 12 Trophy.....five national titles, several Heisman trophy winners and the best fans in College football.....cause as Memorial Stadium says "Through these Gates pass the Greatest fan in College Football" and the greatest teams!

MOOOOOOOOve it on over.....

Yes...this is my FRONT YARD and yes THESE are our cattle.....THANKFULLY not all of them, but after coming home after being gone a week..the last thing you want to see is herd of animals grazing in your front yard.....apparently they really liked my old plants in the planter they drug all over the yard.....

Nebraska vs Colorado........

This week is the Colorado vs Nebraska Football game week, sort of a big deal here in Husker nation. After watching the news last night I am more than ready for the big game. First...what is up with the Buffs talking so much smack about the Huskers. Apparently Colorado has not learned what talking smack does to the Huskers.....did the Buffs not learn a blessed thing last year....apparently not......COME on COLORADO.... get a life with this Quote....."Colorado's Worst Season is better than Nebraska's Best Season"......We will see about that cause Colorado's season was less than stealer :)

I really really love my Eddie.....

I love my little SUV....I am here kissing my Eddie cause I love her . I

have had the same style and color of SUV since I bought my first Eddie. I am hooked on the white and tan Eddie's. I can haul all my stuff , i feel comfortable driving her and she never lets me down...I "heart" my Eddie~

I really love this picture of Ron and McCook. I didn't think that having another cat would be good, but we really do enjoy our McCook. She is one of a kind. Here Ron is reading and McCook is interested in me taking the picture. Button is and always will be our special kitty, but McCook is another great addition to our lives...now if they would just get along!

I really really really love this photo...it is so me...I am darn near tempted to use this photo in a frame for the center piece for me downstairs bathroom. This layout is real special to me. It just happened and I love it.

Thanksgiving week Already!

I simply can NOT believe that it is already Thanksgiving week. It means a short work week, but it hardly seems possible that it is that time again. I am getting the serious urge to put up my Holiday decorations and I think I might just get as much done as Ican. The weather has been perfectly lovely and it is a perfect time to get the outside decor up without freezing my fingers. I have been very lucky everyyear it has been nice when I have been putting them up and taking them down...so here is to antoher lucky weather break. I am still unsure what the holiday will bring. My family is split this year, so my mom wants to celebrate by going out to eat. That would be a first for my family and I have to admit I am not sure I am all that thrilled about it. It seems so commercial, plus we are gone so much that eating at home is a treat for us!

Show Clint some love................

I am all about showing Clint Bowyer some love this weekend...only two more races left and I know how determined you are Clint. Bring me home a win Bud......bring us all a win who are so proud to be your fans. You rock Clint Bowyer and what a great season you have had...and here is to one great Midwest Dirtrack Driver.

What a great way to end a season...

Well our Beavers lost tonight, but there isn't a town that could not be prouder than St. Edward, Nebraska. We are so proud of our boys! I am proud to live in St. Edward and I am proud of being a Nebraskan! CONGRATULATIONS to our Beaver Boys on a great season that NO one thought you could do and CONGRATULATIONS to the Nebraska Cornhuskers and our own HuskerBeaver Andy Shanle on a Husker victory over Texas A&M!! OH and congratulations to KSU over your win over Texas Hook em WHAT????????????????????????? WHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!

CONGRATULATIONS CLINT BOWYER!!!!

Photo Courtesy of NASCAR.com WAY TO GO CLINT.....on your first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Win at Texas Motorspeedway. Great show buddy and someone call a WAMMMMMMMMBULANCE for Mike Skinner :) Get over it Mike.....Clint is more that a great sportsman he's a class act and kicked the crap out of you! MAN do I feel better.

Ahhhh my dear nephew and Godson Eric. I did the layout for a challenge at one of my scrapbooking sites. I so LOVE this layout. I think I might pull the one picture out and scrap it seperate.....cause you can't see the cute look on Eric's face as he is getting ready to jump. This is one of my favorite layouts of the week.

WOOOO HOOOO! I just won a layout contest with this layout! My nieces and nephews must have brought me good luck. I love this picture of the kids. They hardly get to be together anymore, so I really treasure this photo of them . THANKS kids for taking this picture and you are each a blessing.

Good Lord where I have been!!

OH Wait....funerals, auctions & cleaning closets and messy farm buildings. NOW I remember!

I am so glad for being able to share some stuff.......

List 5 moments in your life that you wish you could relive...

1. Meeting my first nephew/niece, I was so honored to have met my nephew...19 years ago. 19 years ago.....I can not believe that my sweet, little boy, the one I cuddled and held like he was glass is 19 years old.

2. The first time my DH every took me to a NASCAR race. WHY, because I really don't think I have ever been speechless in my life. I couldn't move, I could barely breathe. Every single time I go racing or go to a race track I think of my Dad.....I am a race girl and proud of it!

3. Our very first auction, that we all worked together. I would enjoy it. I would soak it up....I would appreciate it more. We were so young, so full of energy......

4. The day I found out that my Best Friends son was very badly burned and I thought I was t00 busy to take care of them, I was a horrid friend and I admit it.....on a good note...it was an inspiration for me because I was a worthless friend who didn't care and it motivated me to not miss one single moment that my friends need me.

5. The day that I found out Dave wasn't going to race the 18 car anymore. I was upset. I had NO idea that he was not going to race and I was mortified. I didn't take enough pictures, I didn't enjoy each race night more......I have come to grips with it....sort of.......OK maybe not so much...

Really these are just mimimal things. I am very blessed and in the big picture........I really would not go back............unless I could relive our Cruise.....OH yeah...I would definately do that again :P

Six best and worst.......upgraded....

Six Best Things and Six Worst Things In Life

Inspired/borrowed from Auntie Cathie (AC) from Scrapjazz

The ten best things in my life have been:
1. Being a Godmother and Aunt (if I can't be a Mom...I am honored to be a wonderful Aunt)
2. Being adopted by my Mom and Dad they are irreplaceable and having my brother as my brothers, they were the best parents and brothers in the world.
3. My bestest friends in the world. .....Tommy, Sonja Krissy & Rhonda. I love them all so much! I am blessed.
4. Being married to Ron Stock, he is one terrific man. I am a very lucky wife.
5. This irreplaceable business we have, we have made it what it is today and I am proud of us....it has not been easy.
6. Our home....it is one great place to be .
7. My grandparents....they still inspire me to this day
8. My love for racing....it has brought me more joy than anyone will ever know.
9. My love for Nebraska football.....how much fun have I had cheering and crying for my Huskers.
10. Scrapbooking...that is all I have to say....


The ten worst things in my life:
1. Losing my Dad.......worst moment, day, month and year of my life.
2. Sometimes not being able to control myself
3. Stuggling so hard to learn....but it really did make me stronger.
4. One certain ex person........good bye and who cares what you said about me!
5. Dealing with my brother's divorces
6. Dealing with my brother's addiction.
7. Having my husband travel alot! Being home alone
8. Food.....why do I have an addiction to eating.
9. Not being able to call my Mom, because I don't want to listen to the negative
10. Wishing my family would call me more without being the one who has intitate it!

I had to pick and I picked a good one.......

Yup....I picked Midwest Dirt Driver Clint Bowyer as my NASCAR drive and I am very glad I did. Clint reminds of Ricky Rudd, always positive, rough if he has to be, smiling and always looking foward to a great race. His interviews rock! What made me pick Clint.........it is that Midwest Dirt Track smile and that he is so repectful and honorable. OK it is just that Midwest dirt. Dirt drivers do it best, and you Clint do........just get me a win. My DH challenged me to tell the world why I cheer for Clint...........it is because race...you really, really race. Just like Dave, it is all about racin!

I personally....

AM glad to see that Ward Burton is making a return (at least for one race) this weekend at Martinsville. When Chad Little stopped racing the John Deere car I started cheering for Ward, while still remaining a Ricky Rudd fan....I was pretty bumbed when Ward stopped racing. What am I a Jinx????? Anyway, I am glad to see him back in a cup car......even if it is for just one race....BUT.....
What about Clint? Oh NO worries, this race girl remains true to Jack!! Ummmm Clint......Clint deserves a win this year and if Clint isn't racing for the win then I can assure you that I will be rooting for Ward!
