Great Thoughts For The Day!!

This was sent to me from a friend and I loved it. They also say that "A dog is man's best friend." To Mont and Cocoa this is true and I thought that I would share these with all of you!!

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two
1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on a man / woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10 Don 't cry because it is over, smile because it happened
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
True friends: How many people actually have 8 true friends?
Hardly anyone I know! But some of us have all right friends and good friends!!!

3 Kids Gone? Too Quiet

Saturday when the family was here for Oaklee's Baptism, the twins and cousins decided that they would go to Delta for a few days!! At least till Thursday. That was quiet. Then I took Mont to Mt Pleasant for the Timberline leadership camp this morning. He will be gone until Saturday when we will go back down to pick him up. Even more quiet! Oaklee goes to a birthday party tonight and has been gone for dinner. Only 4 of us to feed? Too weird!! What will I do when they all grow up and leave? I am sure I will have a reality check as soon as Saturday night when they are all home.

Oaklee Marye's Baptism

Oaklee turned 8 years old on May 11. I remember the day I found out that I was pregnant with her. I have to admit that I wasn't so excited. I already had 4 kids and thought that our family was complete. The news finally sank in and I began to get excited. With a few problems and throwing up every day it seemed like she would never get here. She was the cutest baby ever and I enjoyed her more than any of my other children. I loved getting up with her at night because no one else bugged me about holding her. I took her to work with me everyday and we became best buddies. She was hooked to my hip and I enjoyed that. She was such a pleasant baby and still to this day, makes our life so exciting. She is so funny and cute. She says the funnest things and can make any of my worst days turn into a great day. She is so sweet and I want her to know that she has saved my life many times. She has brought me out of the deepest depressions, most upsetting situations, and even embarresed me so bad that I had to just laugh. She was baptized yesterday by her daddy and all of her grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles and friends were there to spend the day with her. I was a great day and I just want her to know how much I love her. She is the sweetest daughter and makes my day. I am glad she was sent to our home.

Garrett's birthday and Lehmans Cave

Garrett turned 15 on May 26. We were in Delta for the weekend and my cousins John & Julie were there from Florida visiting. We all went to Baker Nevada to see Lehmans Cave. Mike has wanted to go there since we first got married and we have never taken the time. I hadn't been there for many years and neither had Porche. The kids had a great time and was the perfect day. We had a picnic and cupcakes for Garrett's birthday. My nephew Jack said it was the best day of his life. There were 19 of us there. What a troop. Our tour guide also did the detective program for the kids. It was so fun to watch them be involved and so excited. Here are a few pictures of the day.

Boy, How time flies!!

I haven't had even a moment to update this for quite sometime. Life has been a little crazy. Everyone is doing great and kids are growing fast. Here is the latest for them. Garrett thinks life is about money!! He works whenever possible. He won $250 at the SFW banquet and thought it was great. The other four kids have a job doing yard work at Liberty Safe and think it is also great to have extra cash. Mont won a 12gauge shotgun and pheasants at the SFW banquet. He loves basketball and plays way hard.Good boys!! Morgan is sweet, kind and a great worker. Chloe is boy crazy and a good cook. Both like to babysit.Oaklee is just cute. She turned 8 years old and had a flip flop partyThirteen girls and 1 boy came to it. She will be baptized on May 31st. She is so excited.

.Our life is great although a bit crazy. I will update the happenings of recent times in the next few.

Kyani Convention

Portia, Penny Jo and I went to the Kyani Convention over the weekend. Penny Jo started drinking this Alaskan Bluebarry Juice mixture when her blood was so low that she was experiencing organ shutdown. She had to have a blood transfusion and the doctors wanted to do some other things to her. She was introduced to this juice and her blood count went up, her organs started to function and she feels better than she has felt for years. She has got us drinking it and Mikes gout has improved, my mood swings and energy have improved and it tastes really quite good. She has also started us on these omega 3 gel caps for our hearts.(She thinks with our family history of heart problems, she can save us) To learn more about the Kyani product go to http://kyani.net/index.php. Anyway, we had a great time spending the night in a motel as sisters and laughing. I have come to realize that the best people to do things with are definetly our families. We are so lucky to have each other and this adds to my grateful list.

"Snow" phone

So yesterday I was up early to sign the girls up for 4-H. It was snowing and I thought that I would shovel a little snow before I drove over it and it turned to ice. My great kids all came out and said they would shovel it for me and I loved that idea. Needless to say my OCD came out and I had to finish it my way, and somehow lost my cell phone in the snow. We have all shoveled more snow, raked the snow and searched for the stupid phone. I am really upset and all the important phones numbers that I have in it are gone. I did not want a new phone at this time, although I really do not have a choice. So any of you that have my number, please call me after Monday so that I can save you on my new phone that I will be getting. I do love the snow and last Saturday when it was snowing we made homemade donuts. Yesterday we made Cinnamon rolls. Hope it doesn't continue real often or I may look more like the Pillsbury dough boy.
