My mom's birthday!

Hello! I am KateOMalley's daughter MaidenCapitolaBallot and I have a VERY good reason for sneaking onto her blog. Her birthday, I will not say WHICH birthday, was July 24th! But we were out of town, so that is why this is late.

My mom grew up in the tiny, very tiny town of Waldon Co. with her three sisters and two brothers, one brother was alot younger then the others. She tells us stories about how she about killed herself sledding down step hills in the winter, trying to sled down in a tuba case, how she would walk and read, and walk into things.

Grandpa was well known in Waldon, and so his kids couldn't get away with much without being found out, not that they didn't try, seems my mom and her brother, not the one who is alot younger, got into the most trouble together.

My mom met my dad when she moved up here, our town which I aint gonna tell you the name of, wahahahaha. He was going to school here. She fell in love with this mechanic who would put trannies on his table to work on them, who can blame him in Wyo when it is nearly always cold outside? :)

Anyways, they did the fast thing. Fell in love and were soon married. They decided to stay here to raise their family. A daughter and three sons, one died at child birth. They also had a dog, one dog.

So many more years later and her children are now aged 21, 18, and 17, her house has been taken over by two cats, three ferrets, one hampster, one rabbit, one creepy spider, and two dogs one of which is a nut. Still, that hasn't changed my mom, she is still the same wonderful mom, even more so as she lets us, mostly me, keep all those pets.

My mom is a computer geek, can fix any computer you give her, she loves reading, she writes poems, she sews, she can do about everything! And I am so grateful God gave me to her and that she is my mom!

To Mommy
Thank you for being the best mom ever. Thank you for always being there for me when I needed someone to talk to. Thank you for the things you have taught me, cooking, sewing, and taking care of the house. Thank you for homeshcooling me and the boys so that you could teach us about God. Thank you for always making me try to do things I would never have done, like babysitting and doing AWANA. Thank you for your honesty.

HAPPY...can't tell your age...BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fathers Day with My Rocky

The kids and I had a wonderful day with Kirk.  THey all chipped in and bought him a five in one entertainment center. It has a turntable,radio,cd,tape and a jack for mp3 players.  We all went to church this morning after he listened to a Smothers brothers album, then we took him to Cheyenne to the Outback for dinner.  WE had such a good time walking around the park with him and just watching him enjoy his time with us.  He made us smile with his little jokes and movements.  I love him so much and treasure this day with him.

My Husband, my friend

I just read Joesephines blog and I am taking the challenge,  My husband Kirk is one of the kindest sweetest men i know, He loves me in spite of the financial debt I put us in with credit cards he didn't know, he is a great father and a blessing as a spiritual leader.  He has his own automotive business and his fairness and hard work for his customers is something I am proud of. It has sometimes taken him 3 times, pulling out and installing a transmission. He rebuilds them and once in a while one will not shift properly and he has to take it out and try it again. He never gives up but keeps going the distance. I call him My Rocky Balboa.  If anyone has seen the Rocky movies you can probably figure out why.
