Halloween

Hope you had a great one! Love from Scooby, Shaggy, Velma and Daphne (who loved having long hair by the way).

Back to Blogging

Have you ever checked your New Year's Resolutions in November? Well I thought I should, just so I won't feel like a total failure on December 31. One of them was to blog more often. No I haven't done such a great job, doesn't mean I can't start right? So here I am giving it a go, if not for anything other than for my kids to have a few of my thoughts recorded somewhere that are more current than their scrapbooks. This post may not have anything informative, except a statement that there will be more to come!

First Day of School (3 weeks ago)

Tynli started 2nd grade and this is Porter's last year of preschool.

I can dress myself Mommy!

My Little Man

A few things have happened in my life recently that have helped give me a new outlook. So I am just trying to enjoy each day and embrace each moment. One little person helps me with this and doesn't even know it. Porter has got to be the sweetest little man ever. He calls me sweetie pie and tells me how wonderful I am! How can you not love that? He is always so grateful, saying thank you for everything and never forgets to say I wuv you Mommy. He is so precious and I am so blessed to be his Mommy or Mayday as he likes to call me.

Job, not Job like employment, but JOB, the man. . .

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. Job 19:25

And if only this, but all of this, I know is true. My heart may ache or be filled with joy. Some days I experience both, but my Redeemer lives and on the last day I will see.

So the ecomomy has affected everyone in one way or another. So I say I am grateful that my husband has a job, like employment. But my heart is full because I can read JOB, the book in the bible and know that my Redeemer lives.

I am repetitive I know, not for your sake, but for mine. In a time of a lot of uncertainty all I need to be certain of is this.

ups and DOWNS . . .

Has life ever thrown so much at you that you don't know how much more you can handle? There are all these little things and some are big things affecting my life right now. It's one of those times where it's hard to keep my head up, my spirits high, a smile on my face. And then I read blogs. Odd? Not to me. I started reading the NieNie dialogues when she was on Oprah or else KSL news, not sure which. But she was in a plane crash and has burns over 80% of her body. Yet she gets up every day, she is a mom everyday. She is still recoverying and has surgeries and treatments ahead of her and she still gets up. While reading that blog I have stumbled upon others. One is by a woman named Molly. Her 2 year old daughter died after choking on an apple, at church! She too gets up, she too is still a mother, she still chooses to live. So in my dark time, when my heart is hurting, when my burdens feel extra heavy, I too will get out of bed. I too will be a mother, I too will live each day.
