My life is always a blessing because the gift of being a mother has been mine 3 times...the people I made are the most amazing human beings! Here is my sweet daughter...

I do believe we'll all be buying boats soon with all this rain! I am having issues getting out to take pictures because all the roads I usually take are muddy and nasty! So for the next few days I am digging out some favorites that are taken recently but not exactly on the day I post them...today is one of my favorite baby cows! This mama cow has the cutest baby every single year!

Memorial Day is not about bbqs and going to the lake...its about remembering those who've fallen for our freedom...its about remembering whats important...the 1% of Americans brave enough to serve in the Armed Forces.

Last day of school, last day of school!! :0) I no longer have a kindergartener & 3rd grader...now I have a kindergartener, a 1st grader and a 4th grader! Love my babies!!

May 26th, 2011



I am seriously considering buying a boat. The water around here is crazy! Thankfully that means there are some pretty flowers growing!

Today would be Jason's 37th birthday....but its his 2nd birthday in heaven. He died in September 2009 from Hodgkins....he fought every single day to stay alive. We love him & miss him so so much. I am sharing a picture of the balloons the kids sent to heaven for his birthday party. He was an amazing Uncle to my children & the joy they knew because of him will always be cherished...

It has been rainy and gloomy but today as I sat watching the 2 older kids enjoy "Play Day" at school I got to take a few shots of these colorful trees. So pretty!

It is so gloomy today with this rain and wind...but I am trying to stay positive...here is a picture I took last week that just makes me happy. We love tulips in this house. (Or as my daugther writes it--"too-lips")

Thankfully I have a few seconds to post. S has strep throat again and its been heck on me to get so little sleep! Such is life as a momma I guess! Here she is showing off her new toothless status.

This is a cheat day...I graduated from high school 15 years ago today. So to all my fellow Class of '96ers--we've survived 15 years of the "real world" and are all doing what makes us happy. I love each and every one of the people I shared my high school years with in both San Diego & Chinook. Love you guys and so thankful to see who you've all become!

We found the woodpecker that has been driving me batty...and it was too cute to be mad at :0)

May 17th, 2011



It's been an amazing year so far...just good moments. I am thankful that every single day when I wake up I know who loves me, who will be there no matter what. I know what makes my heart dance and what brings a smile to my face. Those are things that, with age, become more important...

Oh how I love my sweet children. I've been working on this wall for a while. For everyone who's been to my house they know the words have been there for about 9 months with nothing else. So I finally got some frames to see what I thought. Im going to add 4 more--on the corners--that I'll fill with pictures of our sweet nephews & nieces. We just so happen to have 8 so it works out perfectly. :0)

So...it's Friday the 13th. What is so bad about that? I happen to think it is a lucky day! :0) Well, every day is lucky because I have the most beautiful kiddos. Here is my 1st born...looking way too old!

May 12th, 2011




Blogger ate my last post. Boo!! I can't re-post because I deleted the picture from my computer but I hear blogger is going to restore the posts that are missing so lets hope!

Anyway, my picture for today...there are still so many places that are flooded...I am praying for the people who have had basement flooding, etc. (we have twice now)

It has been so pretty out. My sweetie wrote on the deck with her sidewalk chalk and it made me smile...it says "I love my Princess Mom. Love Sarah" in case you can't tell :0)

HAPPY MAY DAY!! Does this mean spring HAS to come? I shot this sweet photo of S walking our baby beagle, Roxy. It was too cute not to share! :0)

Critters are so cute. Far away. I am not sure why but S was convinced this racoon was rabid. Or as she told her little brother "it is rabbit" lol. Kids & their imaginations!!
