I also want to Thank all of my family who supports my work and that told me I did a good job on the video, I greatly appreciate all the love and support and hope you sit down and watch the video again...I know that this is what I want my job to be. I Love it very much and also love the people who think I do good at my work.

Well I think that is all I needed to say tonight...it is time for bed.

Love,

Jamie Lynn :)

May 2010-Update!

To be completely honest...I forgot all about our blog. I was thinking of a way to find a couple more photos of Stella, but I have all the ones from the blogs. Wow. It's insane that I can still hear her voice. I know everyone misses the crap outta her and tonight I am especially as I look through pictures of her. Life is so much different without her, but we all know she is up in heaven smiling at us and laughing at the jokes and stories she would hear if she was here! I miss you so much & I can't wait to hear you pick on me again for my southern drawl and call me Jamie Lynn again...I miss it the most! :)

Okay...Now that I am in tears I might as well get on with the rest aye..?

So, today but technically yesterday Sasha gave birth to once again 6 beautiful puppies 4 boys/2 girls-All healthy and she gave birth with little to no help at all. Also, some things that might come as a shock...

1) We have new wood floors in the living room and soon to come in mom and dads room and bathroom! :) Very stoked about that!

2) Our house no longer looks like we don't live in it, one of moms very good friends Shari came over and helped decorate and spoof the house up a bit- I was in denial when I walked thru the front door, literally had to walk out and back in again to know that I was not actually hallucinating!

3) After almost 3 months of working on the 2010 Family Reunion Video, I am almost done! The video is ALMOST (lacking 2-3 min) 1 HOUR long. Now take in mind that this will be shown at the reunion and I will be selling them. I just want everyone to know now how thankful I am that I got to do this. I am ready to be out of college and doing this professionally!

Well my rant has lasted longer than everyone wanted to read I am sure. We are all doing good add a little-minor stress occasionally and call us normal I suppose. All ready for vacationing & a little break throughout the summer.

We Love You All. God Bless.

THE DANCERS!

I took a few pictures and I will share them with you and keep you updated on Lucky....God Bless! The Dancers

If You Just Smile...

Smile, though your heart is aching. Smile, even though it's breaking. When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by...If you smile with your fear and sorrow. Smile and maybe tomorrow. You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just...Light up your face with gladness hide every trace of sadness although a tear may be ever so near. That's the time you must keep on trying... Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just...Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking. When there are clouds in the sky. You'll get by...If you smile through your fear and sorrow. Smile and maybe tomorrow you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile...That's the time you must keep on trying. Smile, what's the use of crying. You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just SMILE...

It's a gloomy August 10, 2009...Last year it was too. It doesn't even seem like a year has gone by since that day. I look back and the one thing I still can see perfectly is her smile. Smiling and Singing were two things I Miss so much about her. I also miss how she could make my mom's day by just calling and talking to her for 2 hours! I Miss Everything about her!

Aunt Stella,

You are one of the strongest people I have ever met in my entire life. I know that you aren't here on earth with us but, I know the day of my accident you were with me. I find myself disbelieving myself sometimes...but I know you were there with me, keeping me alive and keeping me strong. I am so grateful I had you in my life and your family is in my life still...You were a blessing to each and everyone of us in a different way. Not a day...A DAY goes by that I don't think about you. Thank You for everything. I Will See You Again...One Sweet Day! Love Always, Jamie Lynn

The Car Wreck

As most of you know, Jeremy and I got in a car accident the 5th. I pulled out in front of a car that had been in a blind spot and we got hit at 60mph. I blacked out and Jeremy (Thank God) called for help. I was pinned into the car by the bar that runs through the doors and had to be cut out by the jaws of life. I can't recall a lot but some of the stuff I do vividly remember and will forever. I was life-flighted to Saint Joseph Medical Center to a trauma department and Jeremy was sent by ambulance with the woman that was also in the accident. Jeremy and I are both alive, and I get told almost every single day that I "Lucky"...I was told if we would have got any farther back I would be dead. Jeremy has no injuries except for the shock and all that from the wreck. I however, have 3-6 fractured ribs, a broken finger, broken pelvis, and broken collar bone. I am in a ton of pain some days and none others, I can't really take the pain pills- I throw up every single time or get really nauseated. My car is totalled and looks horrible...I have the pictures at the bottom. I just want to say Thank You to everyone who helped my parents and my brother and me, Also Aunt Stella who was there watching over us and MANY other guardian angels, and God...We wouldn't be here without him. I Love you all and God Bless!

Remember- Every Day is A Gift, Not A Given Right!!!

I know that I am only 19 years old and there are people out there that are wayyy smarter than me. Believe me, I don't plan on competing...I would lose (with a smile on my face). But here are a few facts I firmly from the bottom of my heart believe in.

1) Your FAMILY is part of you, Where you come from, and the people that will ALWAYS will have your back.

2) Drama is childish, uncalled for, and comes from people who are bored. It is very hard to BITE your tongue at times, but do it and later everything will be in its place.

3)You will have your heart broken by the people you trust most, 99% of the time more than once or twice.

4) Crying is necessary in life. Things get frustrating and hard to deal with, after you cry you will feel so much better.

5) Taking every second you have just to take a breather and clear your head of nasty or evil thoughts...DO IT! Life is too short to have your life made miserable by someone else.

6)Don't let anyone stand in the way of your dreams. They are all you have to get you by in this crazy messed up world. Your dreams may be hard to reach but never out of distance if you always believe you can do them.

7) There are some messed up people in this world...Bad things will happen because of them, trust in God though that he will watch over and serve justice to the ones who our people cannot capture now.

8)Never stop doing what you love even if someone else doesn't like the same things as you.

9) Smile with the pain & Dance in the rain. Even though your heart is breaking think of something that makes you happy or some kind of memory and pull it close to your heart and smile. Rain is a good way to just let go...just don't get struck by lightning or blow away.

10) Pick your friends like you didn't have a choice to pick your family. Some friends won't last a day and the ones that last a lifetime become family. Remember you are who you call your friends.

I hope you liked my random splurge. Please take some of these to the heart. Most of you probably already know this...but I just thought it would be a good thing to be reminded of.
Love you all and God Bless, The Dancers

May 2009

Wow, these days fly by so fast. My first year of college is almost over...THANK GOD! I have been so stressed out lately because of finals and classes, I am just ready for a break. I just want it to hurry up and be over so I can start my dream job. As a family lastnight we went out and saw Larry The Cable Guy, he was simply amazing and so was the guy that came out before him and warmed us all up. He said some of the funniest stuff and I hopefully can upload it on here and show everyone...I got some of the end on my phone! Mindy M. would have loved this particular show because both the guy that came out before and then Larry picked on the girls that were on stage signing...he kept making them say "Penis" and it was just funny. It was a really great night because we actually got mom out of the house and it felt like we were a real family again. Jeremy is ready for summer...he thinks he is going to sleep all the time but we all have a different plan for him. I am going to NC and SC in about a month...June 10-24 and then dad is going to Montana, idk if Jeremy is going with him or not. For all of you that don't know I am very excited that the sisters are having another "Sisters Weekend" Peggy,Barb,Amy,and of course Stella will be there lauging at every single joke and I am really glad they are doing it. At the moment while I am writing this blog I should be getting myself back up in stupid math. Well puppies are getting big and Im begining to get sad that they will be gone in a few weeks : ( Anyways should probably go...God Bless! The Dancers

Aren't our Grandbabies Beautiful....

~*~CONGRATULATIONS SHIA~*~

Yes! Shia is now a mommy to two BEAUTIFUL babies, she had one boy and one girl. The boy came first at 12:21 when we were on our way to the vet (we thought he was stuck in the canal) and the little girl came at 1:30! We were told to not let her eat the placenta and that she had a ton of room, and to take her home and let her do her course in nature. It was pretty nasty, I will not lie but at the same time it was beautiful. Squirt was so confused and cried all night. Sasha peeked over our bodies and looked in on the puppies every now and then, Shia didn't even mind. :) We told Snickers he was a daddy and he seemed a little intrested and then when they started moving and whining, he was no longer intrested but afraid. I did not have my camera at the time, but I will get some pictures this weekend and put them on here! They are very big by the way, I think that is only why she had two. Thank You for your prayers, and God Bless

A little update...

So the last time I posted a blog, it was about the puppies! Well, so far she is getting fat and sassy. It is not a definite, I mean we can't give her a pregnancy test even tho that would be great- THEY DON'T MAKE THEM!!!!!! So we are not positive but we are seriously crossing our fingers, please pray she is. Well I also don't know who all knows but I now have Room Mates! Robin and Her boyfriend Tyler, I don't want to put their lastnames on here for identity reasons but I graduated with Robin and she is really nice and so is Tyler. I am really excited and actually at home bored all alone so I am ready for the end of next month! Okay so mom and dad and Jeremt are all doing good- The extra room is ALMOST done! Dad is really excited! Ready for bed now, we love you all God Bless! The Dancers

....SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay So Hopefully we are not JINXING ourselves again but Shia could be pregnant. Dad told me when I came home this weekend and dad told me that Shia and Snickers had "hooked" and were making lots of noises....So we could possibly have little babies on the way also. If you haven't seen yet you should look at GINA W.'s and JENNIFER C.'s Blogspots. Congradulations to you both! We should find out if she really is going to be a mommy here in a couple weeks or so. She is so very calm and I think she will make a good mommy. I am sure I will fall in love with a puppy and keep it...lol =) Well we will keep you all updated. Wish us Luck! We Need it if we have little leprechauns! Best wishes to all. Love-The Dancers

Christmas Letter from the Dancer's! :)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year’s from the DANCER’S!!!!

Hello Family & Friends, Another great year has come and gone. Can you believe that it is the last month of 2008? We Can’t. I hate thinking that life goes by so fast. Things have changed drastically this year. We recently lost Stella Dargeloh(moms oldest sister). She was diagnosed with a cancer in her ovaries and God took her on the 10th of August. It has been hard for everyone.
Jim- He is the head honcho in the CRNA department. He loves his job so that’s good. He hasn’t had to have any chemo or radiation in...Well a while. He is doing great and looking great. He says that his resolution for the New Year is “To be happy and Cancer free!”
Peggy- She is still working in Maysville & Stewartsville, she likes them both. She has a very busy patient following & is kept busy all the time. She has had a few hard moments since Stella passed but she knows she is in Heaven and talks about her partying with Mary and singing with the Carpenters all the time. Trying to get her out of the house gets to be a challenge but she is coming around. Her resolution is “To get out of the house more than for just work”! She gets to start tomorrow by going to Church.
Jeremy- Well how to explain this little speed demon won’t take too long. He is fourteen going on 30 & He knows everything about everything. He is a handsome thing though. I can’t call him little anymore; he is way taller than me. He broke his ankle like a week before Halloween. We have been his “Slacky” since then and I can’t wait til’ his stupid ankle is fixed. He is like a normal mean teenage boy. Let me change that, he’s not normal. He is Jeremy. And he can be quiet the package. His wife is going to have to be crazy and ready to be in the nuthouse! Sorry Future wife, Hope this gets to you in time. J He has learned well from me I guess or so I am told…?
Jamie- Me! I am doing good, just got though my first semester at Missouri Western. I got all A’s and B’s, That was really exciting. Dad bought a house in St. Joseph (where MWSU is) and I am going to move in & rent it from him. I am currently looking for two roommates or at least one. That is NOT fun at all. I started packing my room this past week and it was kind of sad. I am a huge baby and I started crying while packing up all my pictures and stuff knowing that my room is all dull and empty now. I don’t want to leave my parents and my little brother. I can’t take any of my babies eitherL! Sad about that also. I want to at least get a HUGE guard dog. Second semester starts January 12th so I have a little while to move all my stuff in and what-not.
Millie & Ginger- Everyone knows that we include the dogs. They are in the garage at the moment all warm and cozy. They are getting older but are the best guard dogs. We love them a lot!
Snickers- Barks at everything but especially the T.V.! He especially can’t stand “It’s the dog or me” and “The dog whisperer” He barks at EVERY freaking animal and dog. He is such a papa’s boy and loves to sleep in your arms or very close to you. He’s my little sweetheart!
Sasha- She is getting to be such a nicer dog to the new puppies. At first she HATED them and now all they do is wrestle and play. She is such a big teddy bear and she has the puppies lingering right underneath her, they follow her & are gradually learning to pee on the pad. Little man is constantly sitting on her or by her when she lies on the vents…IT’S HILLARIOUS!
Shia- The newest little girl of the family. I call her my princess because she is such a sweetie and I know she is nothing like the rest. It is funny how I can compare her to Snickers so much and Little Man to Sasha. She was suppose to be the only one, but we made her day and brought home the CUTE newest little boy…
Squirt- I have been calling “Little Man” well he is if you pay attention to the name. He is a little fart! He is constantly barking and he does not have a manly bark AT ALL! It is a loud & a high pitched. Mom and I think it is evil but cute at the same time. He ears point straight up and he is very curious about EVERYTHING!!!

We had the Wiechman's come the day after Christmas, they were here Friday through Sunday. It was very exciting and we played games all weekend. We watched Mama Mia and that was not what any of us expected. We have had so much fun since they have been here and we are not happy about them leaving! Also we have the Schweitzer family coming down like New Years Eve so we will have them for a little while too.

The Year is almost over- Hope everyone has had a wonderful year and a great one ahead! We Love you all and Miss everyone. We will have a picture up later!

The Dancer's- Jim, Peggy, Jamie, Jeremy, and Dogs! :)

There is our tree...all barcaded and what not. The puppies decided a few times that Christmas was coming early and they wanted to help un-wrap some stuff. So now we have most of the presents hidden way behind the tree and it is very hard for them to get in. Squirt and Mom at the moment are having a yelling contest. It is really funny actually. Well I love you all and miss you much hopefully we get to see some of you before or after Christmas. Love Much- The Dancers

Tonight Dad and I went to the Christmas party. It was pretty fun I have to say. For the most part it was a lot of people that work at the hospital and little offices around there, just bringing in drinks in funny ways, (Slippery Nipples in Serenges) I thought they were pretty clever. Update on moving issue: I got a house in St.Joseph, 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath. It isn't even 1 mile away from MWSU. I'm really nervous and scared. Mom says I can't take Shia and Squirt, but Dad says I can. So...If I do take them I will have two little room mates for a while (still looking for 1-2 females). But if Mom wins and I can't take them I might go and find a Bigger Dog that is trained that will guard my life, lol. I know Shia and Squirt are SOOOOO Scary and would probably lick someones toes off if they tried to break in or whatever. So yeah thats my small issue for now. We are looking for furniture for some of the rooms and I have a few people selling stuff to me and some people letting me buy stuff from them, so its going pretty good. The house actually looks very simular to Aunt Barbs house except it has Two garages under the house and a seperate garage door out past the fenced in back yard. It is really beautiful actually and I'm really excited. I will try to post pictures as soon as I can. Love you all and Miss you so much. Please Pray for our family. Love-The Dancers

Turkey Day & First Snow...

Well...It was a pretty wonderful Thanksgiving. We did our family thing. Dad and I cooked the turkey and did some other cooking. And mom and Jeremy stayed outta the kitchen, haha. After dinner we went over and had dessert with one of moms friends and her family. We played Scene it and Mad Gab. It was really fun. Then Black Friday me and dad went to St.Joe (Later in the afternoon) and got some presents for Christmas. Then Saturday Mom, Jeremy, and I went to St.Joe again and got more Christmas stuff. We had a little accident while we were there but no one is hurt...So Thats good. Then Last Night it began to snow and kept going through the night. I took some pictures of the puppies in the snow. Hope You like them.

Love-The Dancers
