Grateful...

Luke is ONE Today....

i am Grateful that this past year is gone..
I am Grateful for feeling like myself again i didn't think i would ever feel better..
I am so Grateful that Luke will not remember how hard they were for me and how disconnected i felt from him..
I am Grateful for My Wonderful Daughter who has grown so much in these past few months going to college and staying active in church thank you heather for your example..
I am Grateful spring is around the corner and feeling better to go out and enjoy it..

Good Grief Charlie Brown

Luke was Charlie Brown for Halloween this year and did you know he has a twin....

Going to walmart after the kids are in bed.. oh sweet freedom
but what makes it great when you run into a friend and enjoy some laughs together PRICELESS..
Thanks Britta...it was so fun lets do it again

HELLO HELLO.. is anybody there

Today

Hi,How Are You Today?
I'm feeling very horrible
And low and mean and mad
And dreadful and deplorable

And rotten, sick, and sad

And nasty and unbearable
And hateful, vile and blue
But thanks a lot for asking
And please tell me............
How are you...

Written by Jeff Moss

I came across this poem and it seemed fitting for how i have been feeling for the past 5months..

At this Moment

I just learned that one of my dear friends lost a baby due to a knot in the cord and was still born...
I cant imagine how hard the next yr will be for their family and the heartache and loss they will have to work through...

The last three months have been hellish for me and life has been hard but i feel blessed at this moment to be able have this little boy to care for here on earth..

GRADUATION....

I cant believe it
it came so quickly right before my eyes i witnessed this beautiful girl grow up and become a young adult..in a blink of an eye she graduated.. what in the world will i do with out her in Aug.. when she goes to college.....I am so proud of who you are and who you are becoming always stay true to yourself and the gospel....love you...Mom.










PS..it was fun trying to put these pictures together...it reminded me of those little square puzzles with the piece missing and the picture all scrambled and you have to move everything around to try to get everything in the right place....you got it it was fun.....

Life's been crazy lately...

Nothing fun or Crafty from this chick not that i am crafty any way...but
just so everyone knows i am alive and surviving..Here is what has been going on....

In January
Out of the blue Jeremy had surgery to remove a abscessed limp node

Than Heather started to have blurred vision problems she has since then had 2 MRI's and we find out the results of the second one tomorrow..its most likely a form of migraines

Than i backed into someone at church the other night..and Sunday Jeremy dropped his glasses and went to pick them up and stepped on them and of course broke them
and this is added to a very cranky prego women who is having a lot of scar tissue pain and the time seems to be going so SLOW for this pregnancy

I have been enjoying the warm weather the last several days but i know it will not last long...
I know I know LIFE HAPPENS... I need something fun for the next 7wks so it goes by fast......
so now aren't you Glad you stopped by...NOT...
