It's A Wonderful Life

10 years ago today I married my best friend. He has made me so HAPPY!!!!!!! He took my son in his heart as his own and has loved him as his own since then. He has given me a wonderful step son and two sweet little boys to add to the mix. I am so proud to call him my husband. He has a die hard love for his family and loves me to the ends of the earth and back. I couldn't ask for anything more. I am so BLESSED to have him in my life. I can't believe it has already been 10 years but at the same time it seems like we have been together forever.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone :) I hope you all have a wonderful wonderful day. We are headed out to Mom and Dads house in a little while to have some Easter fun!!! I am sure you will see pictures soon from me or my Mom ( punkin ). You know how much she loves to show off her Grand kids.

One Special Kid

I have four wonderfully smart and kind boys....but today i want to talk (brag) about my oldest son, Travis. Travis is 14 (almost 15) and showes us all the time that he is a very kind hearted boy. The other day I got a call from his GTT (gateway to technology) teacher. She called me and said...."Mrs. Rummerfield? " I said "yes" and she then said "this is Travis' GTT teacher" of course my first thought was oh no what happened now. (my son is very outspoken and gets in trouble for it often ) she said "I just wanted to call you and brag on your WONDERFUL son..." here is why..."in my class we have two young ladies that are special needs girls. No one really ever wants to sit with them much less help them because of how other kids will make fun of them. Your son doesn't care what other say about him. From the beginning he volunteered to share a table with these two girls and has been nothing but kind to them. Everyday he helps them with their work and before they turn in an assignment he will check their work and make sure it is correct. If it isn't correct he will sit down with them and show them what they did wrong and what they have to do to correct the problem. Today after being gone sick for 3 days he came in and we had a little problem.... both girls wanted to be partners, something I try not to do since it is more difficult to teach with them together. Travis said it was fine he would work with them so she could teach the class. He worked with them and showed them what they were suppose to be doing and how to do it the whole time being so patient and kind to both girls. He never judges them or makes them feel like they are less of a person because of their disabilities. I just wanted to let you know you have a remarkable son and he is number 1 in my book." It was so nice to get a nice phone call from a teacher ( that is not always the case) and it is nice to know that my son seems to have a very kind heart and a great attitude towards the world and what is important and what isn't. I am soooooooo proud of him and how grown up he is. He makes me smile everyday and I am so blessed to have him as my son, my first born. He will be setting such wonderful examples for his brothers and I hope they follow in his footsteps.

Zipper scar

My step son Cody is a very tall boy....he stands 5'11" at age 13. Well this fast growth at such a young age caused a major problem for Cody. We noticed about a year ago that his chest had a huge dent in it. His Mom took him to the Dr. to get it checked out and it turned out his ribs on his left side were not growing toward his sternum and protecting his lung and heart the ribs were turning in towards his spin and moving his heart out of the way and starting to squeeze his lung. He started having shortness of breath a few times and the connective tissue in there was getting inflamed. Well the Dr. decided he need to have surgery to correct this problem before it got worse but insurance decided the surgery would not be covered because it "cosmetic" in there books. It had to be life threatening for regular insurance to cover it. We then reached out to The Shriners Hospital. That organization is AMAZING!!!!!! They agreed to do Cody's surgery.....for FREE!!!!!! It was a very expensive surgery and they did it for free. I was so amazed a felt like our families had been bless. Cody had his surgery on Monday. It was 4 hours long and it is a 6 month recovery process. They went in and cut 3" off 4 ribs on one side and 2" off 3 ribs on the other side. they then used "bone cement" to connect the ribs back to the sternum and they but in a metal rod to hold his ribs in place till they heal in about 6 months and then they will go in and take the rod back out in 6 months. He has a long road for recovery ahead of him but he is a strong kiddo and will do great!! He is going to come stay with us for about a week when he is able to ride in a car for 2 hours without to much pain. Cody will soon have a "zipper scar" to show off LOL and when his Great Grandpa on his Moms side gets out of the hospital after having heart surgery they are going to stand together and compare/show off their "zipper scars"

My First Buck!!!

Opening day of rifle season here in Missouri was such a great day for me!!! I went out hunting with my husband in HIS tree stand. We sat for a couple hours together enjoying the cold windy morning. I really wasn't expecting much to happen for me because Dougs brother and his son always seem to be the ones who get there deer first thing in the morning and it takes me a few days. Well not this year!!! A nine (use to be a 10 pointer) came out and I couldn't get my scope on him at first and I thought I wouldn't get him but then he stopped in just the right spot and I GOT HIM!!!! He was my first buck EVER!!! I was soooooo excited!!!! I also got a doe that morning about 5 minutes after I shot him. Here are a couple pics my husband took for me.
