Ok . . . so I have gotten behind on my writing. We have been working so hard trying to get the garden tilled and planted, and also trying to get flowers planted. I LOVE flowers, but they are so expensive! I guess just a little bit at a time. It seems like you wait and wait for spring to get here, and then all of a sudden it is! I feel like I am behind on my planting. Hopefully, we will get all of the vegetable's that we want from them.

Did my own "hanging flower" pot this year. Just getting ready to hang it. If it turns out pretty, I will post pictures. Wish me luck!

Busy time of year, but my very favorite time . . .

Emma and Colton - Too much fun!

Great Grandma & Grandpa Shaw, Love you!

Colton's Blessing

March 15, 2009

Today Colton was blessed. It was so nice to be wtih family & friends. We had the blessing and then we had a luncheon afterward. Wish I got to see him & Emma more . . . They are so beautiful! Check out the hair!

Brayden's Birthday Party. Had a pinata and this is them in the garage trying to break it open. His Birthday is February 21st and he just turned 8 yrs. old. Hard to believe.
Happy Birthday Brayden. I Love YOU!!!

Rick

Rick. Didn't like me putting his hat on backwards, but you know how I am. Love to tease . . .

Grandma's "Mad" face . . .

I probably shouldn't put this on, but it just makes me smile. I told her to show me her "mad" face, and this is it!

Love you Grandma!

Mom & Dad

So, Mom & Dad came up for dr. appts. and I stayed to watch Grandma and visit with Rick. She is old, but still has such a sense of humor. We had so much fun. We visited and she even remembered some songs from "long" ago that she sang to me. I really don't know how Mom & Dad do it all. They really have their plate full, but do it with so much love.

Love you guys! Thank you so much for everything . . .

Flowers & cards for Valentine's

Valentine Cookies

Valentines

Brayden and his friend Hannah making Valentine cookies. They had a lot of fun frosting them. We had a good time.

Let is snow, let it snow . . .

Today is cold and snowy. The kind of day that you just want to stay inside . . . Anyway, I decided that I would make some cookies for Valentine's Day. They look beautiful, but they SUCK! I am soooo disappointed. Tried a new recepie, won't use it again. Anyway, I tried.

Happy Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day approaching, I have been thinking about how much I love my family and friends. I have so many memories of good times!

Life is a journey, and it is what we make of the journey. Thank you all again for being a part of it.

I love you all!

Happiness

Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrows keep you human,
Life keeps you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,
But only God keeps you going!
