Family

What seems to distinguish a successful family is that the members of the family continue to care. They don't give up. They never quit. They hang together through Hardships.. I LOVE MY FAMILY

OH Doctor

Well if any of you know me very well, you know that I hate DOCTORS.. Not anyone the most just all of them..So yesterday I had a appointment with a wonderful doctor lol about my knees. I have been having problems for so long that I cant remember them being good knees. After all the xrays he told us that I needed a total knee replacement. Oh yea.. I am not to happy about this and I guess I have thought alot about Grandma Elda today and I am not so sure this is what i want to do. Of course the stairs I have to climb everyday doesn't help either.So now what??? I need to do it but..... well i got a lot of thinking to do. So now my mind can stay busy.. RIGHT ??? LOVE mom

If was so special to hear his name being called and seeing him walk across that stage to receive a diploma and the reality that he was done.I am so very proud of him for working so hard and for doing what he wanted to achieve. He is a strong willed person and knows what he wants in this life and I know that he will do well.What fun it was to have my sister here and her son Jeremy and wife and Jonna, Becky and Baby Tessa. We did alot of laughing. On Saturday Ticia Fuentes Andersen came from Idaho and spent the whole day with us. We had the best time.

Life is GOOD

Did you stop today and think about your life and how good it really is? Have you counted the blessings that you have received? Today has been one of those days for me. It seems like when it's cold and cloudy that I sit and ponder about my life. It has been more than I could have ever asked for. I had wonderful parents that gave me anything that I wanted or needed and sometimes that was more than I needed. I than meet my best friend and we had five beautiful children and many wonderful memories that I will never forget.And now as I move on in this journey I have a wonderful person to spend the rest of this life with. He is the kindest loving person who worries so much about me and wants me to be happy all of the time. I count my blessings everyday for each one of you my special children and grandchildren and for Randall.. I have been so blessed.. Love Mom

Just wondering?

Just a Question! Iam sure that everyone has seen tags that say: DO NOT REMOVE Penalty of Law and the first thing you do is remove it. Right? Right! Well this morning I decided that maybe the reason the tags are on there are for the old people like me...lol It took me 30 minutes to change my bed and figure out which way the covers went because I tore off the tags. Today I was feeling old and getting mad at myself. So maybe you better keep the tags on . You don't want to end up like me. And maybe there is something to this. Who would have ever known...? love you

April Birthday's

We have four birthdays in April. Started with a sweet little Kara on the 4th. Kara is the sweetest loving little girl. she loves to help and takes such good care of Mallory and Tessa for Becky. When she was born Becky called and asked me if she could name her Kara after the baby girl that we had that had passed away.John and I were so happy that they wanted to do that. so we kinda spoiled her a little bit lol. I think all I did was take pictures of her and scrapbook all of them. I love her so much. The next birthday belongs to Conner. What a wonderful young man he is growing up to be. He has the most tender heart. He has had a special place in his heart for papa John and misses him so much. I know Conner that Papa John watches over you all the time. His Birthday is the 1oth. Then the Biggest Boy of all and his Birthday i s on the 14Th. And it is Tyson Alden. There is not enough room for me to write all I could about him or the time. He is a special son to me. He has grown up to be the best husband and dad. I have watched him with his kids and he reminds me of his dad so much. He never meets a stranger and will walk away with a new friend. He loves to cook and loves being outdoors. He has been there for me so much since the passing of his dad and I always know that I can ask him for anything. I remember the day he was born and how excited his dad was to finally have a boy after three girls... Happy Birthday Son.. And the last one is my new daughter Laurie who has a birthday on the 19th. I am learning alot about what a sweet person and mother she is. She is raising three beautiful girls and working a full time job and going to school. She has been so kind to me and is so happy that her dad is not alone anymore. Happy Birthday Laurie. So that's the run down. So Happy Birthday to you all. Love Mom

so sad

I have been sad this afternoon. the family left this am and i miss them so much. We had a fun time seeing Logan and they loved the snow.. I took them to the Bluebird Candy Factory. Randall's mother has worked there for over forty years. she hand dips the chocolate and his youngest sister is the candy maker. It is so fun to watch the four ladies sit and dip the candy. They were not dipping on Thursday or Friday so the kids missed that but they all got to get some yummy candy. than we went to the cheese factory and got Jonna some squeaky cheese. I think they had a good time .I know that Randall and I sure enjoyed them. I listened to conference today and thought about them being there. I hope they love it!! But sorry chelsie I couldn't find you lol. I sure didn't want them to leave this morning and if there had been any room Randall and I just might of jumped in, but no such luck... we wont see them again until 4of July unless they move up this way which could be possible. Maybe.. so now we are back to the little quite house. hope all is well love mom
