Ouch...

This is probably what could happen if your
room was a mess,
you turn off the light to jump in bed, and you run into a laundry basket!
and it probably would hurt worse than childbirth....



It's so odd to me,
why some people have trials,
and others don't!
yes, yes, I know,
everyone
has there own trials,
but really....
it's so odd to me,
why some people have trials,
and some .....

14

The week before his birthday is always the hardest.....

and this morning at 5:27 am
there IT was, sitting on my chest...
the heaviness, the hurt, the longing that it would have been a different outcome,
the second guessing myself of what I would-of, should-of, could-of done differently.

Last year I pasted his birthday and it didn't hurt,
so why is it starting now this year again?

It's been 14 years,
you'd think I'd get over it...
and believe you me, I have in a way,
it sure doesn't physically hurt as it use too,
now it just aches, and it's sad, sad that life isn't perfect.

I guess it's just the mourning process,
and it's okay to mourn someone you love,
a mother's love is amazing,
I loved Landon even before holding him in my arms,
I know that I already knew him,
and that's why it stings so bad because I did know and love him..

*Kurt just said" Can you imagine having a 14 year old AND a Spencer!"
(that's what I needed, a good little chuckle!)

if at first you don't ....

Our second attempt at a garden....
Last year was a flop,
but we learned a lot.
Kurt moved the garden spot and build a new planter box,
So, we'll try again...
Wish us Luck!

Broadway or Bust...

Caitlyn spent the last 5 days in New York City
with her school choir...








They did and saw some pretty amazing things while they were there,
Caitlyn loved it!
between Broadway shows and The CBS Early Morning Show,
shopping and Schwarz Toy Store,
she had fun!
she loved the sights, smells and all the crazy people!

Guess Who

Happy 1st birthday Sadie!
Hey, any excuse for a good piece of cake with homemade chocolate frosting!!!

Catch-up



Happy Easter and Happy General Conference,
love this weekend...
I always do a little spread on the kitchen table for the kids when they wake up
and walk down stairs,
(instead of Easter baskets)
this is something I learned from my Aunt Marilyn when I was a little girl,
focusing on Our Savior,
but of course still enjoying the best Easter candy ever!
Tomorrow for FHE we have our Easter Egg hunt,
we always do it in the dark with flashlights,
inside and out!
my kids love it!
We miss Candice, but luckily she is enjoying Easter as she got a ticket and got to go to Conference at the Conference Center...
and thanks to Aunt Diane and grandpa,
she has a car to drive while she is being our cute little foreign ex-change student in Vernal,
she is doing great!


Umm, guess who is driving?
yes, it's a glorious day...
Spencer auditioned for the 6th grade band for percussion,
for next year...
and he made it!!!
his teacher called me the next morning to tell me the good news,
and we surprised Spencer with this cookie to let him know that he made it,
when he got home from school!

On Friday, 3 of us moms, did hair and make-up for 6 girls
(one not shown)
for Mormon Prom,
which is a Prom that they do here,
you have to dress and dance modestly,
the kids love it, and the girls looked GORGEOUS!
their up-does where amazing,
it's always fun to get dressed up...
Caitlyn looked so sassy and cute in her girly pretty pink barbie dress!
and the cutie in the red dress had on black high-top sneakers, ha!

(we decided we're going to get together as moms and do each other's hair and make-up and go somewhere fun!)
