It's because I really needed this today

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. Most putts don’t stop. Most meat is tuff. Most children grow up to be just people. Most marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more dull than otherwise… Life is like am old-time rail journey – delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”

Gordon B Hinkley quoting Jenkin Lloyd Jones

It's because woman only have 1 flaw

One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men....
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in..
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give..
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

It's because we finally got a new camera

We are finally real grownups who no longer have only our phones to take pictures.

I think I'm in love!

Of course with him! I love this face...And this one

Zach got sting by a bee...

He went to the dr and got a shot in the bum and has to carry this contraption (epi-pen) around at all times. Its all fun and games until someone gets stung. Yes, that is an alligator/crocodile skull on the top shelf in my family room. Yes, my husband loves it - and I love him therefore it has not been "accidentally" broken. Yes, I sometimes leave little notes from the poor little thing telling Wade how much he misses his Mommy and how badly he wants to go back to the swamp. No, it doesn't work.

Tevya and Zach. I love this classic 1970's white trash photo behind Zach's head. Out of us 5 kids (Steven wasn't born yet) my mom only managed to get Heidi and Susan's hair combed, the bow-tie on my dress isn't tied, Tim and David look homeless and Heidi looks like the Grinch. To this day David sings "Your a mean one Mr Grinch" to Heidi. If my house were on fire, this is one of the first things I would grab.

Heidi

I have a new obsession. I made this last weekend, September was too long for the shelf so I had to compromise. If the power/water/gas in my home ever gets turned off it's because I spent all of my money at The Wood Connection.

I got this one for my birthday, along with some other stuff that I will need to take pictures of. I really want this next. Lucky for me I have a nice husband who surprises me with things like this sometimes. (the one I made was - in my opinion - better looking than this one) My cute husband in our dirty room. I'm not being cheeky, it really is messy.

I made these owls to represent everyone in the family as a bonding thing. The kids actually got really into it and had fun picking out the paper they wanted on their owls.

Wade and I.
(Please don't look at the fact that these shelves need to be dusted)
