Talli~ Beautiful and Single in Wichita, KS

This is my sister. Her name is Talli. She lives in Wichita, KS. She is 30 years old, never married, no children and very single!
I am linking my blog to Kelly's blog at www.kellyskornerblog.com for her "Show us your Singles"

What I know for sure is that whoever wins my sister’s heart will be blessed………..

And this is why:
My sister has a huge heart that is strong and filled with compassion.
As a Case Manager she is committed to turning the world right side up for the clients she has been entrusted with.
My sister has a strong spirit and is loyal to her family, friends and the world around her. You will never hear her say an unkind word about anyone, as she has an innate sense of knowing that there is good in everyone and everything.
My sister is determined. At age 30, she is working a full-time+ job – and is taking 14 credit hours in school. I’m not sure how she gets up every day at 5:00 am to work out. Her determination is only surpassed by her energy.
My sister makes life happen. She organized a visit to Mom’s house (ND) with our brother (AZ) , me and my children (WI) and herself (KS) for a surprise Thanksgiving weekend. Still not sure how she managed to do it – she has her ways. And just in case, she bought a turkey – in hopes it would thaw on her floorboard during her sixteen hour drive.
My sister is the best Aunt in the world. She gave up her life in ND to move closer to her nephews and niece. And now that we live many miles apart she will drive 20 hours in one weekend just to spend time a short amount of time with them. She loves them like they are her own!
There is so much to love about my sister. God gave Talli a heart full of love to share and it is my fervent prayer that when God brings the right man to Talli, she will recognize him.
My sister doesn’t know I’m doing this – and unless Mr. Right comes along to convince her that I have done exactly the right thing – I may never be forgiven.
Leave me a comment if you would like to meet my wonderful sister!

My Boy has a Heart of Gold

Jacob is such a little lover. On this night he got to go shopping with his Awana money he earned. He worked hard memorizing his bible verses saved money from the last store night at church and bought some very fun magnets. Magnets that he knew his brother would love. While Brett was in the shower he wrapped them up and surprised him.
He then jumped up on a bar stool swung his little legs, watched Brett play with his new present, looked over at me and said..."Mom don't we have a great family." Yes buddy we sure do!!

Mini Me

Brylee modeling the dress I wore as a little girl.
It took a little bribing for her to wear it. But she was willing to wear it for a new pair of Pom Poms!

She cracked the eggs all by herself, whisked it all up and fried the eggs. Grabbed a spoon to feed her baby and a fork to feed herself. Daddy loved his eggs....eggshell and all!

An Indian Birthday Party



What I learned tonight....


I must learn more than the 5 Punjabi words that Sonia my neighbor has taught me before the next Indian birthday party. Those five words just did not cut it tonight!


Indian clothes are bright, colorful and beautiful.


When served fruit at an Indian birthday party....be prepared for it to have salt and pepper sprinkled on it.


When told it is your turn when the cake it being served it means that you are to feed the birthday girl a bite of her cake.


When you think it time to sing Happy Birthday....don't sing just clap and I think say Happy Birthday a handful of times.


When it is time for presents the kids go by themselves and rip open all the fun presents.


When served rice be prepared to top it with yogurt...it is yummy.


I love my Indian neighbors and learning all about them!


Happy Birthday Anmol!


















The very fun Indian Girl doll Brylee gave Anmol for her birthday.




Anmol and her family.




Seriously how cute is he!




This lovely lady was prim and proper.




so.... much to my surprise when she jumped on the exercise bike and pedaled that bike like no other and laughed and laughed I was a bit shocked. I loved her!

The Quiet Room

Can't find Brett? Most likely he has escaped his 2 favorite admirers aka as Jake and Brylee and has locked himself in the "quiet room."

Brylee's First Recital

Brylee's weekend was full of dance rehearsal and her first recital. She had a blast on stage! Brett thought she was going to collapse from laughter. We were not allowed to video during the recital but I was able to take a video at her rehearsal. The brothers were waiting with flowers to give to their Super-Star Sister!



















Brylee is the 3rd girl from the left.
