Time

Where do you disapear to?

I believe we all want to ask you ...

Why you never stays for a while, you always just flutter by

as if your wings never need a pause...

After graduating from high school I went on a whirl wind of adventures

Graduation...

Family....

Bahamas...

the Flu...

Tahoe....

Mexico...

Woodleaf.....

Home...

School....

Work....

Only to find out that it is September 28th today and

my baby sister is now 12 years old.

I dont remember much of her as an infant or a toddler

but I do remember that the last time I blinked she was turning 11 and

I bought her Happy 10th Birthday card because in my mind

 she was frozen at 9.

It makes me cry to think of how time has disappeared right from my eyes.
I fear one day as a parent I will blink one too many times

and my little girl will be off to college

and be a young woman just like her mother.

I dont fear her becoming me

because I know she will be a bright

and beautiful young girl

but I fear that she to will close her eyes too hard one night

and she will be turning her tassel and waving into the crowd

at me in the stands cheering her on

before she even learns how to walk.

I pray for each of my loved ones, near and far,

 to pause and looked at who and what surrounds us

 before we close our eyes a little too tight

and another year goes by.

I ask God to give us

appreciation for these miracles we hold in hearts everyday,

humbleness for our blessings,

strength for our sorrow in the speed of time,

&

open arms to those who are lost and

need your help to heal before time escapes them,

In the name of Jesus Christ
AMEN

I ask that we all take this time to pray for not only ourselves but

every life that has crossed our eyes, even if it is in just a short passing.

Good Night :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN PAGES!!!

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

So I found out why I dont do crafty homemade gifts often...

I become obssessed

I cant do anything ordinary.

So Miss Val I do not know how you juggle 3 kids a beautiful home and all

of the crafty parties, lunches, and gifts!

Enjoy Pages!

Tooth too many

So in our house the tooth fairy $ math is:

$1 x your current age =
money under your pillow

 

And when you loose your teeth at 3,4,5,6

 thats not too bad

But when the kids 8 years old and

loosing 1 tooth every couple days ....

You end up broke!     

   

So when Parker lost an

unexpected tooth and held me responsible

for holding on to it...

and I forget to remind him...

and eventually find it on the bottom of my purse

only to tell my mom who doesnt have any cash on her....

its seemed to slip our minds to tell him.... (haha i know how pathetic)So do we remind him now that weks have gone by and he doesnt remember?

Or do we just wait it out until he remembers in a year and we are out another dollar....
H M M M .....

    

Survival Skill 101

Survival Skill 101

SPELL CHECK!

There have been many studies of how horribly lazy us humans have become with the luxery of technoligy.

Shoot its all Apple's fault!!!

Exhibit A: Exam the beautiful Picture I created.

 Do you see the mistake? Neither did I till i got a comment on facebook.

I am one of those humans who cannot spell worth a dam and will need spell check my entire life. It is sad when my 9 year old brother has to tell me how to correctly spell a word.
My reasoning: My mind is too intellegent and busy to worry how to spell words like remember! :)

Next Karate Kid!

For the past 6 year I have been spending some mondays and mostly wednesdays going to

JUJITSU

A well rounded martial arts created for defending yourself.

Well being the kid friendly gal I am they take full advantage of how well the young-ins listen to me! lol 

Quote "um I tried to handle 5 by myself last night w/o her and it was madness! She is coming on wednesday right?" - 3rd degree black belt 

How many kids on average not ...5 or...6 or...7 or...8 or...9 or...10 but...11 or...12

yes 12

It is crazy fun! great work-out! and never dual moment! 

Oh and I ill be getting my brown belt this year! whoo-hoo!

Jujitsu has been such an honor to learn. 

Starting in 5th grade and currently still going.

Nate has been taking it with me and is now a 

black belt which is such an honor to

 be receiving.  Our dojo or school is one of the hardest,

well rounded and well experienced in the area. Many of

 the sense's or teachers have and are continuing 

to train in other martial arts. 

Adventures by the Sea!

If you never knew I am a Born to Shop Kinda Gal!
Yeah weird right? Who Knew?

Mother like daughter!

O when my brother  MALL HATTER PRESIDENT asked me to go to the mall I knew there was a reason...

In our household the wonderful tooth fairy gives you the amount of your age is in dollars

So he being 8 means $8

Mall = Toy Store or Gamestop
