~Wordless Wednesday~

If you are playing along please leave your link below so I can check you WW out. hope everybody is having a great week.

I want to wish Debby a happy birthday today!If you want to head over to her blog and shout Happy birthday!

Hangin' out on Monday!

Fianlly got a pic with me and the boys! I am always the one behind the camera so L. helped and took some for me.

Well this was my day!

Today Trsha and I went to the National cemetary. I have always wanted to take pics of the Avenue of Flags and Today I went there. My grandparents are buried here and so is Trisha's dad.The pics I posted are not perfect cause I had to make them into collages however if you head over to my Photo Blog there are some good ones that I have played with and that turned out really good, I think.


This is the POW monument and I thought it was breath taking! The statue was of a man with hands tied up and a bar under his arms . Somebody had left flowers at the feet of the statue and I was touched by that. Our country has lost so many men to POW's.

After coming home I put the kids in the pool and let them run wild in the back yard It was a beautiful day today.

~Favorite Foto Friday~

This was in Dec. Of 2005. I love this picture so much if I could I would take another one like this to show the change in all of them but as you know the boys are wild and that would be impossible.

I will be crusin' around today to see you FFF. I hope you play along I have also assigned the letters to those who asked let me know when you are done K.

I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday weekend and I am going to the avenue of flags this weekend to take some pics I will be sharing them soon.

The new game!

The letter I recieved for the new game floating around is K.

I will admit it was super hard.

I actually had to flip through the dictionary to find words. So here they go.

...........................................................................

kingsize: I honestly was going to put a pic of myself on here but I could not find one of myself alone I think I have a king size heart and even a king size rear. :)

Keeper: This is my honey and is a keeper.I love him with all my heart and truely look forward tospending every day with him for the rest of our lives.
Kids: These are my kids my life.I enjoy watching them grow and look forward to watching them change every day!
Kickback: One thing I truely enjoy doing is kicking back I love to do nothing on the weekends. Just sit around and play with the kids and spend time with my honey!
The Kennedy's: When I was in High school I had to do a report in history on somebody. For the report we had to become that person. SO I chose Jackie Kennedy. I fell in love with her. I am totally fasinated with that family. Then when my daughter was born JFK Jr. died the day she was born.
Kaiser: I was Born at this hospital and so were 2 of my 4 children were born there.
Kitchen: This where I spend most of my time cooking cleaning doing laundry,ect. We eat three meals a day at the table and my computer is in my kitchen as well.
Kitten: I do not like animals I think they are more work and time consuming then I am able to give . I love them if they are somebody elses but I WILL NOT own one or a dog.

Klutzy: I am a huge klutz. I am always running into things or tripping or droping things so beware when wa;limg with me. Kodak: my Camera is something I really enjoy. It usually is with me at all times.I strongly believe that a picture is something that is a priceless possesion and love to capture every moment and memory.

Well ultrabright I hope I did this right if anybody wants to play along let me know and I will then assign you a letter.

Look what I did to them

I striped them of what they had left of their baby look.

It is starting to get super hot here and I wanted to help them stay cool so I shaved it all off

I personally think they look adorable!

Guess what my honey got me the new Dixie Chicks C.D last night I am so excited.:)

Oh yeah! Go Taylor Hicks We are so Excited!

Happy Birthday Baby!

~Afterwards~

After the Cematary we went and my Honey treated us to Ice Cream we brought it home and let the boys have at it. then to help clean them up you guessed it we hosed them down. well do you think I am dumb it was a sticky mess LOL!

~He turns 9 Tomorrow~

~This was the last picture ever taken of him. He passed 7 days later~

As you can tell he always found time to smile!

So I hope all of you can also find time everyday to look at just one person and SMILE!

Tomorrow he turns 9. Wow were did the time go. Today I went and bought the stuff for his grave to make it look it festive. Debby gave me an idea of writing on balloons and letting them go for him to recive our messages. So today I bought balloons that say Happy 9 th Birthday we will take them again this year and every year from hear on out after my Honey gets home and have them inflated and then write our messages and then go to his site and let them go as a family.

This year has been super hard and that is why I am doing this today and not tomorrow. I will not be doing wordless Wednesday tomorrow. I might post some pics of us letting go of our balloons and stuff but that is probably it. I will be around to check out yours though.

I am a huge fan of the movie still magnolias and in that movie Sally Fields say that she was there when her child came into this world and she was there when it went out. I never thought that line would have so much meaning in it until 3 and half years ago when I to was there for both and it is the most amazing moment of my life I remember the sound of his first breaths and I will never forget the sounds of his last. I feel blessed that I was there to comfort him as he went so many parents are unable to be there because their children die so tragically. I am thankful that is not how it happened we knew it was coming he was made comfortable and he had what he wanted his Mommy.

I truly miss him everyday. For some reason this year is so much harder then all the other years.I always will wonder what he would of been like if he was still here. So much of me wants to bring the wheelchair in the house and maybe put a plant in it but so much of me is also not ready for that. I wonder if I ever will be ready.

The one good thing is tomorrow is also My Honey's brother's birthday. It does help to be able to call somebody and tell them happy Birthday.

I hope you all have a good day tomorrow and I would like to leave you with this:

"I'M FREE!!!"

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play,
Tasks left undone, must stay that way,
I've found peace at the close of the day
If my parting has left a void-
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full-I've savored much,
Good friends, good times, my loved one's touch,
Perhaps my time seems too brief
Don't lengthen it now with grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now; He set me free.

Wordless Wednesday

My Day was Wonderful!

We woke up super early and went to this huge swap meet, Which is one of my favorite things to do. Then we went to the beach and as you can see the boys hated it Q. was so scared that he was shaking and screaming just the sound of the waves scared him. Honey had to take him back to the car to calm him down Z. was O.k as long as you were holding his hand but still scared none the less. We then had lunch at the harbor and went home and had dinner with my Dad. My day was perfect if you want to see some of the Pics from the Beach please check my photo blog the link is located in my blog roll.

I hope all of you had a wonderful day as well. 

Morther's Day adn post #2 for tonight

I have been a Mom as of this month for 9 years.

Wow! where did that time go.

Maybe washing dishes

cooking dinner

cleaning house

changing diapers

visiting doctors

vacuming

dusting

and the many more things that us Moms do.

I do not know but it feels like yesterday that I gave birth to my first baby.

The most amazing part of the past 9 years is the Love I have found. This unconditional, undieing, and unbelievable love.

I have become a strong and stable woman because of my children. I would not trade the trials or the situations for anything.

I have been blessed with 3 other children and a Step daughter who is wonderful they say if the Lord takes away he will give back double right well I got triple.

I look at my children daily and I cherish them yes I also want to hang them by their toes or pull out my hair but at the end of my day I just love them.

I know I am being watched over by a couple of people and so are my kids. That makes me happy. I have found the love of my life and we love these kids.

I do not always know what I am doing and that can be a little scary but we learn as we go. I have many role models in my life as a mother, some good and some bad but we learn from every aspect of life. I am thankful to all of them though.

I look forward to the rest of my years as a mother, grandmother and what ever else comes my way. I feel strong and ready for the challenges. ( i think LOL)

I hope that you all have a blessed and wonderful Mothers day filled with love and Joy.

He is a Little Scary!

This is Zach with his new toy that a friend gave us. He walked around for a little over an hour with it on today scaring us and just hanging around. I had Emmy get a mirror for him to see himself and this is what he did....

I think he made a new friend to bad he had to go away when the mirror went abck in the room!

Where Does Mom Keep Her Memories
Where does Mom keep her memories?
In a box worn beyond repair,
Tucked inside are memories.
Ask and she will gladly share.

Tattered valentines "To Mommy With Love",
Papers boasting Good Work, Well Done,
A handprint small and fragile,
Blue ribbons proudly won.

Macaroni shells that once formed a flower,
A baby picture smudged with kisses,
The first tooth the Fairy spared,
Cards of IOU's and loving wishes.

Where does Mom keep her memories?
In a box this precious cargo rests
Reminiscent of days long past,
This box of love is her treasure chest.

Heaven's very special children:

A meeting was held quite far from earth,

"It's time for another birth,"

Said this angel to the Lord above.

"This special child will need much love."

His progress may seem very slow.

Accomplishments he may not show.

And he'll require much extra care,

From the folks he meets down there.

He may not run or laugh or play,

His thoughts may seem quite far away.

In many ways he won't adapt,

And he'll be known as HANDICAPPED.

So let's be careful where he's sent.

We want his life to be content.

Please, Lord, find the parents who

Will do a special job for You.

They will not realize right away

the leading roll they're asked to play

But with this child sent from above

Comes stronger faith and richer love.

And soon they'll know the privilege given

In caring for theis gift from Heaven.

Their precious charge, so meek and mild

Is Heaven Very Special Child.

My best friends mom gave me this poem at my sons funeral and it as always stuck with me.

Happy Favorite Foto Friday!

I can not wait to see yours up today. Later today I will post another mothers poem for you as well.

A Little something for all you MOMS!

I want to share some Mom poems with you the rest of this week so here is one of them!

Why Mothers Cry"
"Why are you crying?" he asked his mom.
"Because I'm a mother," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His mom just hugged him and said, "You never will!"
Later the little boy asked his father why Mother
seemed to cry for no reason.
"All mothers cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering
why mothers cry. So he finally put in a call to God, and
when God got on the phone the man said,
"God, why do mothers cry so easily?"
God said, "You see son, when I made mothers they had
to be special. I made their shoulders strong enough to
carry the weight of the world, yet gently enough to give
comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure
childbirth and the rejection that many times come from
their children."
"I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep going
when everyone else gives up, and to take care of their
families through sickness and fatigue without complaining."
"I gave them the sensitivity"
