I met my Best Friend at Brite Voice Systems in 1995. I started working there October 31, 1994 as a Customer Service Representative. It was my first “office job” and I loved it. It was the first time I worked on a computer and I had my very own little cubicle.

Christmastime Stirs Memories   As Christmas time approaches, my heart reflects on winter's past. Memories of when the older children were at home, who now live in different parts of the country. My hearts bittersweet. Life seemed to be more predictable than, more scheduled and more routine. Maybe it was because there were so many kids at home I had to be more organized. Even though we have 4 children left at home, most of the time it's just Emma, while Grace, Hannah, and Hayden are busy with friends and extracurricular activities. As Christmas music plays through the house, I...

What an amazing weekend we had in Lawrence, Kansas after the Thanksgiving weekend! For the first time in a long time; all of our children and grandchildren were together under one roof. We celebrated each other and it was wonderful! It all started with our oldest Marcus making plans to travel to Lawrence, Kansas. My heart was filled with joy! Just listening to all of them laughing, sharing old childhood tales and making new memories. - @mrsgeno A few months ago, Jason made a trip to see the north Genosky's and our new town home in Saint Paul and he told us that Marcus was travelling to...

Meet Haley's Alter Ego Called Agnes Haley can become quite the actress when she takes on the roll and character of Agnes. Every since Haley was a little girl; she was always laughing and cutting up.

This video clip taken in the spring of 2014 when Alexa was visiting us from Oklahoma and got in on the fun. Marcus, Hayden, Haley and Alexa star in this comedic sketch....

Summer Days at the St. Croix Beach

Summertime in Minnesota is absolutely amazing. The summer days are bright and sunny. The temps normally range from the 70's to 80's and most of the time, there is virtually no wind. It's one of the things I love most about it. Summers do seem extremely short. So it's something we cherish and try to hold onto. Our once scheduled routines of school, activities, and homework are over.  Our days now consist of spending as much time outside that we possibly can, which include the St. Croix Beach. When we first moved to Minnesota in June of 2011, we were quite surprised that there weren't as...

The Chandelier Tree

Where I grew up in Kansas, the neighborhood played a huge part in your childhood. I am so grateful to have countless memories of block parties, whole streets elaborately decorated for Halloween and Christmas, families on evening summer walks with their kids in wagons and strollers, or riding bikes through the flooded gutters in the Spring with my siblings.
