Oooo. . . I feel like a grandma, but I am NOT one! Not ready to be one. . . Just working on that wedding stuff! Ugh! I wanna be a great mother-in-law first! Besides when I become a grandma I will be called Nana, not granny, not grams, and not grandma. It is good for others, BUT I want to be Nana! It was my mom's name for my kids and she was a great Nana.
Whit was amazing! She didnt even cry! If I was that good I would have a million babies too!
Ash is so adorable, she is going to be an awesome BIG SISTER! The only problem might be if she helps too much!
I think Matty wants to be a doctor. He asks a lot of questions! I am glad I just dont have to answer!
Ben is funny! He likes Garrett fine. . . but lets just wait until he figures out he is going to be living in his house too!
Today being 9-11 I thought I would write about some of the things I am not going to forget anytime soon.
h on drugs when he crossed the center line. I remember the night I got the call, I remember the horror and not being able to sleep that night. I remember my children rushing to my room because of my screams. Yes, I remember. . .I remember having friends that I could call that quickly came running to my side. I remember a dear sister in the ward who gave me the coveted foot rub (she was a reflexologist and everyone wanted Rita to rub their feet). I remember arriving in my hometown and having so much food at my fathers home we couldn't fit it in the fridge. I remember seeing my wonderful brothers and sisters and getting some of the best hugs ever! I remember the love radiating from my mothers friends while they told us of the kind things she did. I remember my cousins coming to the house and all of us laughing at the funny mom/aunt Sandy stories. I laughed until I cried. I loved hearing these stories! I remember. . .
I choose to remember my friend Stephanie Nielson, before and after, the plane crash she was in with her husband and the pilot, a friend of theirs. The pilot died but Steph and Christian are fighting their way back. The blogging world loves them and prays everyday, every hour for them! Their families love them and help and stand by their sides in every way possible. I remember Stephanie moving into our ward and giggling with hertrying to remember how I knew her because she had such a kind and memorable face (you know the kind). I remember wondering what to fix for dinner after inviting them and finding out they liked the veggies (we like the meat) I am sure it wasn't anything as wonderful and she made. I remember her asking my youngest to babysit. . . oh Taylor was so proud! I remember the red room. . . oh, the lovely red room. I would never be brave enough to paint a room red, bright red, even the ceiling, but she was and it was beautiful. But I think I remember the goose the most, because it made me laugh. She would have her girls sneak over to the neighbors yard and she would take thier pictures with it and the many outfits the ceramic goose owned. Her original blog Gracie Brunswick (do you remember?) hailed this interesting creature. So for you Steph, so bright and beautiful, I give you the goose. I snuck by on my way to church (and I was even a bit late, but ifigured it was well worth it) and lo and behold there was the goose. I think I will name her Gracie. . .I remember!
Memories can be positive and happy even in the worst of times. I have learned many things about finding the joy in an unhappy time, from others around me and deep down inside myself where I didn't even know it existed! I would just like to remembmer a few more things. . .There are many things I will forget, and many I will choose to forget, but today I CHOOSE to Remember!
Eating and LOOKING AT BOYS! Ask them about Blue Shorts sometime. . .
Even Daddy had fun! Doesnt he look like he wants to toss me in the RIVER?Insert another cute photo of my runaway doggies!
These were some BEAUTIFUL pictures
Pool shots and Horses
Over the next 4 days the sky was blue, the water clear and the food Great! Maybe it was the fresh air? We laughed, rode horses (just ask my fanny), played games and just plain ole watched tv (I know, I know), we even came home with clean clothes!! I told you this is my idea of camping. . . sooo nice! Four days of quiet, even keeping the house picked up seemed ok. Oh to only be a pioneer! WHAT??!! Ok, I was caught up in the DRAMA of it all! I DO NOT want to be a pioneer and about 4 days was all I could handle, but it was fun anyhow! City girl in my heart, small town girl by birth, UGH!
A wonderful Picture of us grilling and playing cards
Next, tales of my BIRTHDAY. . . Yes I am 39 and holding! But I may have to change it to 29 and holding. . . some of my friends are "younger" than me I cant have that!!!! LOL!
