Snow show........

Snow snow snow.....

I totally have a great appreciation for the loader tractor!!!! oh my heck, I drove into town today and i couldn't believe all the people out shoveling and shoveling and shoveling and snowblowers and i couldnt believe it. I never really gave it too much thought, but today i have totally dwelled (sp?) on it. Probably because i needed a kick in the head to remind me of how lucky i am to live where i live and have what i have.
I have a cool pic of my front porch with a wall of snow on it. I hate not haveing the picture to post but if i don't post now, I loose the words to how I feel.

My Fvaorite Holiday.......VALENTINES DAY!!!!!

8 hours and 23 mins till my favorite holiday month!!!!
I just love Valentines day, I love the whole love thing! Tacky? maybe. O well.

I love that I have "someone special" to love and give a really cute stuffed animal too, just like in grade school (he thinks I am so tacky). I love going to the store and looking at all the different cuddlely, soft, and extremely cute plush toys that there is! All the reds and pinks and hearts everywhere! All the cute little kids looking at them and wanting to give them to their teachers or the little older ones wanting to buy for the cute little girl in the class or the boy who is so good looking! It just makes me smile. I love all the little valentines cards and how the kids look through them wondering who maybe wrote a "extra special" messages like love, so and so, or xoxoxoxo all over the card! I love decorating all the little boxes or envelopes I loved that when i worked in the special ed class. ( I might have to take them one even though i don't work there any more). I still go through the little heart candy and see what is written on it before i eat it. My mom always makes valentine sugar cookies that are soooo good. (its the same cookies she makes for easter, christmas, and halloween. But for some reason they taste so much better in the shape of a heart with the "I heart U" written on it.)
I love getting my kids a little something and put it where they can find it on Valentines day morning.
And lets not forget the great friends i have, i love you!! Thanks for being my friends!!!
Love, love, love, love, love!!!! you can never give or get enough!!!

going private...

Hi friends, Decided for safety reasons to go private with my blog. I really love doing it, but it does make me a little nervous. So please don't share my info with anyone just have them ask me. I would so appreciate that!! It is so much fun to share some of my everyday life with you all and learning about yours!!!!! Blog On!!!!!

Whose cuter.......?

I had to sneak the camera.....This is Clover (born on St. Patricks day, hence the name.) Joe absolutely hates it when she tries to lick his face, and she knows it. He came in from outside to get warm and crashed in the chair. First off she jumps up and just lays on his lap, then she would inch her way closer to his face, every time she moved she waited for him to push her off. When she got pretty close, she fell asleep it was so funny to watch. He teases me alot about my puppies, but as you can see he dosen't mind them too much.

an angel in my eyes....

B-Boo got her medallion in Y W last week. And i am so greatful for her tremendous spirit in my home. The relationship i have with her is sometihing i hope never to loose. She has taught me so much in my life! Especially encouragement. I have worried alot at times that when her friends see me that I would maybe an embarrassement to her because im not the smallest or the prettiest mother, but never once has she even hesitated to introduce me to her friends even with a hug to go along with it. She truely amazes me.
I also want to tell all of you that have taught her in Y W or Sunday school or in any area of her life. Thank you so much!!! A Young Women now days can never have enough support when it comes to gospel and friendship not matter the age.
She also tries very hard to be a good friend. And being a Freshman Girl isn't the easiest thing now a days. And she deals with it pretty well. I'm very proud of her for sticking to her beliefs even if it does mean loosing a friend for a few weeks. And the hardest thing i have found, so far, being a mother is seeing your children hurt because someone else just wants to drag them down. It is a heart breaker.....Hoping that it will only make them a stronger person in the long run... I will try to get her pic posted with this when joe lets me touch the camera (im "kinda" kidding) he is getting better to let em touch it!!!

A poem i wrote

the time I have wanted to share this poem that I wrote a while ago, and the time was never quite right. I don't know what has changed butseems good so here it is. I hope that you enjoy it.

She came down from heaven loaded with gifts
That the Father had given to her.
He told her these gifts She would treasure.
But there were trials she would need to endure.

Her Father in Heaven assured her
That he would always be there by her side.
And if she would take but a moment to ask
He would be more than willing to guide.

A beautiful girl with her gifts from heaven
Did not think that this earth would be bad
God had created a wonderful place.
To enjoy all of the gifts she now had.

She found her a place in a meadow
That was filled with the colors she loved.
The greens and the whites and the blues and pinks
It reminded her of being with God

She laid on the ground and looked up to the sky
She saw butterflies and heard the birds sing
She closed her eyes gently and took a deep breath
And felt the breeze from an angels wing

The angel knelt down right beside her
And gently caressed her sweet cheek.
Promise me please, dear child of god
Come hear when its peace that you seek

When life on this earth becomes too much to take
When your hearts filled with pain and dispare
Come back to this meadow in heart and in mind
I’ll be here and your heartaches we’ll share

I’ll remind you of your gifts from heaven
Like courage, and knowledge, and strength
And how these gifts will help you go on
And endure life no matter its length.

Your spirit is strong and is willing
Your mind will, at times, be confused
Your heart will know there is safety close by
And your soul you will never loose.

Your time on this earth is important
You will experience true joy and true pain
But remember when storm clouds gather
How much you love the smell of the rain.

Your Father in Heaven is ready
Even a whisper will not pass him by
He wants to surround you with the blessing of peace
Until you can be by his side

So remember dear child, even though you can’t see
The angel of heaven around you
I will never be too far away from your side
To help when the darkness surrounds you.

And when there is too much, for your mind to carry
Off to that meadow we’ll go
The one that is filled with the beauties of earth
And the peace that your hearts come to know
