Tornado..!! pictures from my backyard!

In Memory..

“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”

For all those that have paid the ultimate price for my freedom. I thank you!

Thank You Grandpa.. Rudolph G. Schowe ~ Army World War II

For those that have served ..
Thank You Dad.. Leland J. Goularte Jr. ~ Navy ( Aviation ) Vietnam War

Thank You Grandpa Leland J. Goularte Sr. ~ Army World War II





To all of the men and women serving our country today I salute you.

I will be praying for all of you today.. Forever in my heart.

Graduation Day!

Preston I am so very proud of you from the first moment I held you in my arms you changed my life forever. Today you are leaving High School and the world is your to explore.. take all I have shared with you and run with it.. I know you are destined for greatness.

Here is the quote my son shared with me today..
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace... Jimi Hendrix


I have always believed that children learn what they live.. I have always done my best to teach my children to love one another.. and that no matter what life throws at you always try to see the silver lining in everything.. Today my son has taught me something. That even when I thought he wasn't listening he was.. THANK YOU Preston.. I LOVE YOU!

Respect Life.

April 20th, 1999.

Another tragic day in history.

May you all Rest In Peace...

I remember as if it were yesterday... has it really been ten years? I can not drive by Columbine or my old house and not have those memories return those images are forever etched in my mind.

To my family and friends that survived that day.. Know that I am praying for you and thinking about you today and always..

May God bless all of you.

OH ya.. the teenagers..

My second oldest just turned 17 and even though the thought of them getting older and eventually " leaving the nest" has me feeling an entire gamut of emotions. I figured I better start taking more pictures....

We had some family and friends over. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we did!

Devin and " the girls"

My boys.. Well the one the left might as well be mine !

Crazy Kids!

I want a turn!

Another attempt at a picture with my children.

Make a wish !

Boys will be boys!

Where did Spring go ????

I can't take being in the house another day. The kids are older now and they get into everything. And we won't even get into the fighting, crying, screaming, biting... need I say more?

It's like I've done a complete 180.. I hated going "out in public" all the gawking, staring, 1000+ questions. I'll take that in a heartbeat now.

This time I'm going to be prepared though. I am making a sign with all the questions.. along with the answers and I'm attaching it to the wagon...
