I was fine all day until my sweet girls surprised me. They have been practicing this

song for a while each time I would leave the home.

This is a very special song to our family. It reminds us of Michael (my brother). This song is on his life DVD. Today it has been 3 years since he passed away. Amazing how time heals a broken heart. Just seemed like another day. I was busy with my kids and didn't feel sad at all, until my girls pulled this on me. I lost it pretty good. They wanted to share this song with everyone who loves Mike! Especially Grandma and Grandpa.

Thanks girls....just what I needed.

Where does the time go ? :(

I can not believe he is leaving my side. I can hardly stand it. Kindergarden is no big deal. Once they go to school all day I feel like I have lost them in a way that will never be the same. I can't even sleep at night.

It just breaks my heart. I have tears is my eyes just writing about it.

Today we celeabrated at Jungle Jim's.

Jason read 100 books!

I am so proud of him. He has been such a joy to Wayne and I. What am I going to do with out him around next year.

  1. No more Star Wars.
  2.   No more complaining when I need or want to go the store.
  3.   No more days cut in half, waiting for afternoon kindergarden.
  4.   No more telling him to get off the computer.
I am trying to find something positive here....... It's not working. I am still sad:(

A mothers work is never done.

Monday morning I said to Wayne that I needed to do laundry today. He was a little taken back and said, "no you don't, I just did it on Saturday?" He was feeling pretty good about cleaning the house and doing the laundry while I was gone. I said to him, "that was two days ago." ??? was the the look I got. 2 days, 8 of us, that is 16 outfits, PJs for the boys, and towels. He will never totally get it. And that is OK. That probably would have really bugged me a few years ago, but not any more. I run this house and I know what goes on. I would hope that nobody else would really know. This is the life I have created for myself and I LOVE it. Yes I could be replaced by Alice (you know form the Brady Bunch), but I do it all in a loving, serving way. When I was a little girl all I wanted to be when I grew up,was a mom. Well all my dreams came true.

I did this on my own!!!!

I went to Womens Conference this weekend with my mom and had a great time. I came home excited, and I have a lot of goals to work on...one of which is doing my own blog. Wayne has been doing the blog for a while (pretending to be me) and it is time for me to figure out how to use a computer.

2 cold old ladys waiting for a ride.

My cousin Cassie

I also spent time with my" favorite person in Utah" Anna. We had a great time catching up. I had a picture, but I am not really sure where it went. Back to life as a mom and wife....I almost fainted when I stepped on the scale this morning, BACK TO THE REAL WORLD. See you next year Womens Conference!

Danger

Danger--- High ~~Voltage~~ Maintenance!!!

I have never purchased a shirt at Walgreens.

I will probably never buy a shirt at Walgreens again.

But a 30-minute wait for a prescription led me to this great $5 find.

Perfect shirt. I think it sums it him all up!!!

(Wouldn't trade this kid for anything though)

2010 LDS First Presidency Easter Message:

"At this Easter season as we contemplate our own mortality and remember loved ones who have passed from this life, our hearts turn to Him who promised: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Jesus Christ is the literal Savior of the world, the Son of God, the Prince of Peace, the Holy One of Israel, even the risen Lord, who declared: "Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world. … I am the light and the life of the world."
"I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father." This Easter season, as His witnesses, we testify that He lives and that through Him,we too shall live."
