"Amid the hectic pace of our lives, a library is like a comfy chair in front of a cozy fireplace on a wintry day, where people of every age and status can sit down and feel like they've come home... to a world without boundaries, to the world of books."

C. J. Carr

Being a big fan of reading I am so thankful for the staff members at the library!  To pinpoint one employee in particular I give you

This Guy!

“A complete stranger has the capacity to alter the life of another irrevocably. This domino effect has the capacity to change the course of an entire world. That is what life is; a chain reaction of individuals colliding with others and influencing their lives without realizing it. A decision that seems miniscule to you, may be monumental to the fate of the world.”
― J.D. Stroube

 “But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
― Mitch Albom

January 21, 2014 - Aunt Betty

Alright, I am confessing that I didn't take this picture.  However, under the circumstances I had to post this on my blog.

I received the news this morning that my Aunt Betty passed away late last night.  So, I won't ever be able to take another picture of her.   My heart is breaking, more for my mom then for me.  Don't misunderstand I love my Aunt Betty very much, but being one of the youngest nieces I wasn't around when all of the older cousins lived close and were growing up together.  Now we all live away from each other.   So, anyways my mom is taking this really really hard.  She explains that the way she is feeling is like losing my Uncle Wayne all over again.  When my Uncle Wayne and Aunt Betty got married my mom was just a little girl.  There is no in-law where it concerns the 2 women.

You will be GREATLY missed, I am sure Uncle Wayne was waiting with open arms!  Love You!

This is Kellen, he enjoys moonlit walks on the beach, treating girls right, cuddling up in a blanket during movies.  He does NOT like scary movies! 

Oh, this kid is something!  He is full of all kinds of information, he loves movies, video games and books!   He always has his nose in a book!  He is full of spunk and energy!

What is there to say about this kid???     He is very intuitive, loves movies, video games, video games and did I mention video games!  Oh, he does enjoy reading also!  He has a love for all kinds of animals, he is a softy, he wears his heart on his sleeve (I've seen him cry during movies)  he gets so into them! 

January 17, 2014 - Nightwing

 So, my brother Alex was telling me I was cheating!  He says that eventually I will run out of people I know.  HEEHEE!  However, between family and friends, church and having worked at Wal-Mart, I do know a FEW people!!

I decided to take a picture of Nightwing!  He belongs to my brother Alex and his family!  This cat is so spoiled!  He thinks I need to pet him whenever I go over to their house!

My brother Alex and I were talking the other day.   I had gone over to Winco and seen that the Liberty Tax sign wavers were out already!  Later that evening, Alex had mentioned to me that it would be could to get a picture of one of them!!   Well, I went and did just that!

 GRACEY GIRL!!

Today I decided I wanted to take a picture of my Gracey Girl!  How can I forget to take a picture of someone that means so much to me!  Gracey has been in the family since she was a puppy!  She is 9 yrs old and as fiesty as can be!  I love it when she growls at me for wiggling my nose at her!  Silly girl, Gracey!

Today I decided to do a self portrait picture!  All I did today was hang out with my kids, watching movies and playing games (board games and Wii games).    It was a much needed relaxing day!

My 4th and final kid!  Or, maybe I saved the best for last..........  shhh!  Don't tell my kids!   This is my Tori Turd, she is fun and energetic.  Always smiling and giggling, I would have to say truly a GIRL!!  She is blooming into quite the young lady to be honest with you!

 I didn't want to leave home today, it was just a lazy day for me and Jesse!  So, I decided to take a picture of my oldest baby girl!  I almost forgot to get a picture today!  Not Good!

January 5, 2014 - Rosalyn Rhinehart

So, I decided this morning that I wanted to take a picture of someone that wasn't related to me today.  I still haven't got up the nerve to ask someone new yet.   I thought all afternoon about who I wanted to take a picture of, I ran into a few friends downtown and didn't take there pictures.  Then about 4 P.M. I drove down to the gas station to fill up the van.  As I was pulling out of the parking lot it hit me.  Who better to take a picture of then Mrs. Rhinehart!!

January 4, 2014 - Jesse James

Oh, the things I can tell you about this little man right here!!  I just ADORE him!  He is my world, my knight in shining armor, my everything!!   I love all of my kids (equally I might add)!  But this kid is my baby and I swear he is a little mixture of all of his siblings and he is a way for me to keep them young!  He comes up with the CRAZIEST things!  Where does he learn this stuff?  Let me tell you, I have asked him those exact words and his answer is always the same.  NCIS!! 

Whoever came up with the quote about kids saying the silliest things was correct!  I thought I had heard it all with my Jason and Tori.  Not at all!!  There is definitely more to hear!  I look forward to it all!

January 3, 2014 - Jensen and Ethan

On this day I am using my 2 youngest nephews!  Oh my goodness, what is there to say about them.   Well to start off they are as different as night is from day to each other.
  Jensen is quiet, mellow and wears his heart on his sleeve.  Whereas Ethan is a HOLY Terror!!  I have nicknamed him as my monster and he sure holds up to it!  I love these boys!!

January 2, 2014 - Jason Jr.

Staying close to home here is a picture of my oldest boy!  Jason is, well to say the least a handful.  He know it all, always has and probably always will. 
Yes, I tell him he is very smart and it is the truth, but can one be TOO smart for their own good?  The answer is YES!

January 1, 2014 - Benjamin Williams aka Daddy or Santa Claus
