The Mom

I find I keep wanting to make my blog a priority..and then I can't think of what to say. This last week has been amazing.. so I want to be sure and journal it. First and foremost.. I have the most amazing and loving children. I don't know how they manage to always pull together and get things done. Flying by the seat of our pants has always been a way of life for the Tom and Annette Quesenberry family. Not that it was our preferred way of life..it's just that with Tom's job and my lack of organization..it's just the way it was..and most the time is.. Though sometimes I think we are getting better.

Tom celebrate his 60th birthday this last week.. Starting with a nice little get together at Jason's with some friends and loved ones.. on Wednesday. Then Thursday Tom, Ryan and I flew into Pdx and then drove down to La Pine on the pretense that Bryan and Timmy and Tommy could meet us to do some measuring on the property. I convinced Tom we needed to drive right to La Pine and then later let him know that they got bored at the property and went looking for a place to let the kids swim a bit. When we pulled into the camp area... .all our children..except Josh and Nicole and Tommy (Tommy arrived a bit later that night)...and all our grandchildren except Greyson were lining the road.. waving to him. Oh my gosh... if you could have heard the crack in his voice..when he said.. "oh my gosh... their all here" He was so choked up.. It was wonderful... we had great times around the fire. Telling stories of Grampa Harry and his days...and toasting marshmellows and making smores. Tommy started a great progressive story that starred John and William..with William's sister Sara. It moved on from there.. to Montana moose man. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I love my family.......I'll post more as I think about it more and more

starting over as a theif!!!

Ok I keep saying I'm going to post more..and I don't. I have the hardest time putting thoughts down anymore. We're all in a whirlwind with getting Timmy in school. I'm not sleeping much just worrying about it all. I'm sure it will work out. I got the news that Donna's moving and thats killing me. I have seen her less since I moved here... than I did when I lived in Oregon. Tom's going to try and take some time off to take me over there so I can help her pack. Maybe he can help Don with some heavy stuff.

Tom's hired a new Production Manager and he's so happy. I had so much fun showing his sweet wife Jody around our lovely little town. I'm hoping she won't be upset.. cause I thieved a couple of pictures she had on her blog... she did them so cool.. and then you all can see where we went and I can cut down on the words.. since it's been a hour now. .since I started this post. Jody is a "Madscrapper" when it comes to scrapbooking.. so I'm hoping she can motivate me... she thinks she can...but then she doesn't really know how UNorganized and scatterbrained I can be. All the rest of you do!! LOL shhhhhhhh don't tell her.. maybe she might make at least some headway before she throws up her hands :)

My Birthday Christmas Tree

We have a lady here.. "Miss Teresa Lee" that works with Tom... she is the first lady I meant when we moved her. She calls everyone her sister.. but I love her. She is almost as crazy as me.. Her and her "real" sister came over on my birthday and put this tree up in my living room. .and then decorated it.. For my birthday... I love it here..... now to trick the rest of my family to move here :)
