1927 - 2011
Sweet Angel Mother of Mine
I rest my head against your shoulder and whisper, I Love You!
I drink in the sweet scent of soft powder and I am comforted
The moments pass quickly like the flitting of Hummingbird wings
and now you are my forever celestial Mother and friend...
My Mother, My friend... I miss your gentle embrace and the soft touch of your hand
Your Love remains engraven within my heart!

Kudos to Nathan

Just drove home from Layton with Nathan... so proud of my son for coming home instead of staying overnight so he can go to the Temple first thing in the morning to do baptisms!!! KUDOS MY WONDERFUL SON!! 

It's late Friday night or early Saturday morning... depends if you're a night person or a morning person... Is that the same as the glass half full or the glass half empty? I guess it depends if you like your sleep - Is this only funny to me? or are you amused too?
Maybe I've just lost my mind due to lack of sleep... or MAYBE... I've just lost my mind!!!! Go figure...

When I saw David on Monday... he hugged me soooo tight.... and his eyes teared up!!! Not gonna lie... I MISS MY SON!!!!!!! 

"Com'on and give me some sugar"
Sunshine, Rainbows and all things gooey,
Sappy and Happy dripping with laughter
Sprinkles of giggles and lollipop fun
yes, that is the warmth of a hug from my son!!!
(I Love You - My Sunshine)

Carl Bloch Paintings

My heart is so touched after Witnessing the beautiful paintings of Christ by master artist, Carl Bloch!

  

Today Nathan and I went to lunch together... So cute!!! I said, "Let's go get a burger" and he said, "Let's actually go to a restaurant for lunch! So yes, I went to lunch with one of my favorite people!!!!

When my kids are all grown up... I wonder if I'll have a life... so funny...so true!!!

Whew....just relanded in the world of blogs!!!!

Howdy Ho and Hey... Hey... Hey.... Hi Everyone!!!!

RED LETTER DAY!!!!
We saw David for the 1st time since February 11th...
OH HAPPY, JOYOUS DAY!!!
David looks amazing... he has buzzed his hair - he looks GOOD!
He seems so mature...  He loves and misses everyone!
As expected our first reunion was very tender!

We all Love our children with such a deep and abiding Love - This only serves to make this one of the hardest decisions we have EVER made...  We miss David and feel a deep void in our home! (I just want to snuggle him up and bring him home!!!) 

A simple request: Hug your child just a little longer today!!!


 ODE TO MY SON... Work Hard, Achieve much, Be Happy, and Find success... P.S. HURRY HOME! 143 - Love You!!!

Living It Up At The Hotel California!!!

Here we are in California!!! and Loving every minute of it!  
Can you believe last night was the coldest night on record in Palm Springs!!! I think we brought some of that chilling to the bone Utah weather with us! I've been wearing a turtleneck, long pants, and my zip up hoodie all week!!! (So glad I packed them or I would be freeeeezing!!!) Even pulled out the mittens I keep in my car (So glad I had those too!!!!!)
The 92 degree pool was perfect to offset the cold air!
And best of all 2 fun filled days at Disneyland!
I Love the Traditional Disneyland Most of All.... but I Loved California Adventure too!!!
The Highlights were: 

• Watching my three guys ride "Alice in Wonderland" just to appease me! (even though I heard "Mom, This is the most boring ride" )
• California Soarin' (Absolutely one of my favorites)
• Toy Story Mania - SO FUN!!!! Loved this - and shooting all the targets!
• The Hollywood Hotel - Tower of Terror! - Yes, I loved this too!!!!
• Wonderful World of Color - Water Show!!! So Beautiful and fascinating!
• Always the standbys: Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, The Matterhorn and It's a Small World!!!!

Happy Moments, Happy Memories!!!!
