ME...LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF!!!! 

Hello Again...

Sometimes I have to laugh...it's like...well you know...I fell off the planet!
Enjoyed the fall, but sure glad to be back...                                          
Hello Blog People... I Missed You!!!                             


Enjoyed a warm cup of cocoa, smothered in whipped cream and I thought of our ancestors crossing the plains in the bitter cold and how they would have enjoyed a Mug of Hot Chocolate - So wish I could've shared mine....

Love the Cozy way Hot Chocolate Makes you feel!!! YUM!!!

Just One of Those Days....

Just one of those days...
I Love the Rain (Everything looks so refreshed after a Sweet Rain)
I Love my kids.... (They're like Angels gracing my Home!)

Oh Yes, just one of those days...

When I wish I could climb on my Mother's lap and listen to her
soothing words of Love and Tenderness!!!

(Mom once said, "You'll never be too big to sit on my lap) Guess I won't try it....

aaahhh...just thinking of Mom and the sweet scent of powder
(She always smells BEAUTIFUL)

Mother I Love You!!!

Aaaahhhh.....Conference

You Gotta Love Conference!!!
I Love President Monson...and every other General Authority!!!!
Simply Amazing...Richly Blessed

thinkin'

Yeah...thinking about the mote and the beam... and being judged

Greatful for a Mother who taught us to accept responsibility for our actions and always consider what part we play in life's situations!

To those I offend... I am Sorry!
To those I Love...I Love More!!!
To those I Protect...I Embrace!!
To You My Friend...I Cherish!!!

HELLO WEEKEND!!!

HELLO WEEKEND.... o.k. o.k....this crazy, busy week is OVER!!!!
Long hours at work...
Long hours going from THIS PLACE to THAT PLACE.....
A WEEKEND OF SOLACE (or maybe a moment)  either one will do!

Perfect Endings!

Yah!!! An afternoon Nap...the Perfect ending to a day of work!!!

Goooo Diggers

David's 1st Game was awesome!!! He would tackle his guy and run to the other side of the field to get the other guys!  So amazing... He was saying to his teammates "I'm doing my job and yours...Get your Guys"  He played the whole game except maybe 2 plays...
Well off to another game at 3:00 - Oh happy day, Oh worn out kid!!!

yahoo...giggley...goo...

Yahoo!!!  I actually made it through the 1st week of work!!!  and...the 1st week of School for the kids...ers....

Do You Know What's Great About Today??????

I went to BARNES AND NOBLE  (You Gotta LOVE that Store) and bought: 
       "THE LAST SONG" on AUDIO CD - Can't wait to Listen to it!

I've already READ THE BOOK - saw the MOVIE IN THEATRES...and bought the MOVIE ON DVD - By the way the $25.00 DVD HAS THE BETTER ENDING - How do I know? I cheaped out and bought the $19.99 version!

                   Yes, "The Last Song" is one of my favorite books

                           - as if you couldn't tell (giggle...giggle...giggle...) -

                              AND THAT'S WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT TODAY!

WARM FUZZIES...and...HAPPINESS...

Yes - as always, spending time with my Mom and Dad was a pleasure! They are so appreciative of anything you do for them...it brings WARM FUZZIES to my heart!

I hope all of you have a "WARM FUZZY" Day!


Happiness is...

• Making Stuffed Green Peppers (with peppers from my garden)
• Tapioca Pudding with whipped cream (yummy)
• Listening to "The Host" on CD while I clean my house
• Sleeping in clean sheets (Kinda makes you feel like a       Tama'i Ta'i)
• Learning what Tama'i Ta'i means... (Princess) - thanks Alex 
• Receiving phone calls and text messages at 1:30 a.m. announcing a new arrival!
• Watching my favorite movies - 'cause no one is home to take over the tv!
• Rain Storms that turn to Down Pours and overflow the gutters...
• Sleeping in Fresh, Clean Sheets (It's even better if your legs are shaved)
• A Moment in Time - all to yourself - ahhhhhhhhh
• Sleeping in...
• and sooooo much more.........

   AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T WANT SCHOOL TO START?
I LOVE SUMMER DAYS WITH MY KIDS...AND WISH THEY WOULD GO ON forever...and ever...and ever...and ever...and ever... 
                         You Get the Idea!!!!

Here's hoping your day is filled with Happiness  Too!!!!!!!!

Quote of the day:


'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll create a life. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
      

I wish....

I wish...

• To have lunch with my sister - yes Kristine that's you!
• To be kids again...and riding in the car with Duane - singing to Elton John & Carpenter's
• To have my Mom trace paper dolls and draw in the face (Her faces were always prettier than the store bought kind)
• To sit on lawn chairs and watch my kids play outside laughing and giggling
• To be at Capistrano - Gazing at the ocean and enjoying a beautiful Sunset
• To go flying with my Dad and watch the sun peak over the mountains
• for everyone I love to have Great Health and be healed of their infirmities
• and so much more.....

Hello Day....

My wish for you: May you have a happy, wonderful day and may all good things come your way!!! - Take a moment to stop and experience the beauty of this world and all those who are in it! Have a Fabulouso Day!

Did Someone Say "Fishing" - yesiree that's what Gary and Nathan will be doing! The last hurrah for Nathan before the big "S" (School) begins and a much needed break for my hubby! David would like to go but "Football" preceeds the fishing! As for me this weekend I will be taking care of Mom and Dad - - Steven is heading down to Whitley's soccor game. Then it's back to work next week! Oh how I have enjoyed the summer break!!! It always seems to fly by so quckly... but I have to admit a paycheck will definitely come in handy!

Taking care of Mom and Dad is always a pleasure! How I enjoy spending time with them! So happy Steven is able to get away and maybe just maybe experience a little down time! Wow...is he forever on the go!! He arrived home yesterday and proceeded to take care of his church duties (at the Wentworth) taking care of the Elderly...then it was off to cleaning the Real Estate Office...then arriving back home, checking on Mom and Dad only to be gone by 6:00 a.m. this morning - you know he will come home, fix breakfast for Mom and Dad and repeat his rigorous schedule - of which he never complains - Great Brother - Great Example!!!!

Sorry to say Nathan and I went to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the world...we walked out during the middle of the movie...wish we would've gone to Toy Story 3 - oh well, better luck next time! I heard most teenagers enjoy this movie...It just wasn't for us - oh well -

Now it's off to a busy day...Hope yours is happy...

A Happy Day

Spending time with Lori and eating Chinese Food are 2 of my favorite things, but put them together and it's definitely a Red Letter Day! Nathan had fun spending the night in Layton and David & I had a great time going to pick him up! Love my kids so very much!!!                                                                                             
                     So Very Blessed to be a Mom!!!!!

A Mother's Heart

Driving Home after visiting my only daughter, tears began to seep down my cheeks...
Sometimes things turn out so differently than the dreams we dreamed so long ago!
Who would've thought? ? ?

Michael McLean penned the following words to one of my favorite songs: 

Stay With Me
"I heard a window always opens
when the doors have all been closed.
And though I know it's true,
I need my light to see me through.
And Lord I need you,
To stay with me
Just until my heart recovers
Stay with me..."

So often in my life, I turn to those very words! Especially when I find myself relying upon my Savior Jesus Christ, knowing I don't have the ability to handle everything on my own!

Oh, my precious Angel Daughter, I Love You!!!!! and most of all, I Miss You!!!!!

Are you trying to BURN DOWN THE HOUSE?

Oooohhhh Nnnnoooooo....
Whatever you do, don't put chicken on to boil and then decide to go downstairs and blog....
Ha...Ha...Gary just came in and said, "Is that chicken o.k.? It smells kinda funny"!
I ran upstairs and our whole kitchen was FILLED WITH SMOKE!!!
Lucky for us...the flames hadn't started or WATCH OUT HOUSE!!!

What can I say...other than I found myself lost in an amazing world of Blogs...all my sense and sensibility went right out the window! I'd like to tell you that this will never happen again...but I find myself lured into some of the most interesting reads on the Internet!  

3 WORDS:  PEOPLE ARE WONDERFUL!!!!

Things I am definitely grateful for:

• My Husband waking up to a funny smell
• Smoke before the flames
• Our new swamp cooler works wonders!
• Vanilla Scent overpowers the smell of smoke
• I'm back on the computer sharing this with you!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTINE!!!
I Hope your Day is Full of Laughter, Fun and Happiness!!!
I Love You!!!! and I hope you have the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!
