The Sunnyside Lighted Farm Implement Parade was this past Saturday. Cefus and I decorated the 92.9 The Bull vehicle. I haven't been to the Sunnyside Parade since my two older boys were little and I couldn't believe what a huge parade it's become! Jackson and Shaylee rode in the Bull vehicle

It has taken me a couple of years to perfect how I cook my Thanksgiving turkey. Thanks to my grandma Alice I learned a few tricks before she passed away.

What are your Thanksgiving turkey tricks or secrets?

I was sitting with Shaylee the other day coloring and she said, "Mom, I know what I want to be when I grow up."

She said, "They help sick animals and make them better

I have caught my kids cold, which I call the "kid crud". They seem to get over it quickly, while mine hangs on for dear life and lasts for a week or more!
