ONE RIDE....

So I was listening to the radio and this religious song came on and it touched me:

He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand Until he started praying for a second chance. If he could only do it all again And trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk For all he missed He tells his wife I wish that this moment in this room Was not me dying but just spending a little time with you. You only get just one time around, you only get one shot at this. One chance to find out the one thing that you don’t wanna miss. One day when it’s all said and done I hope you see that it was enough. This one ride, one try, one life to love.

Enjoy YOUR ride. Wherever it takes you. Don't let a minute pass you by.

I......

I...smile because I am happy
I...cry because it hurts so bad to see loved ones going through trials and stand helpless
I...pray because I know after all the tears have fallen all that's left is faith in the lord
I...see how life can change in the blink of an eye and what you have today you might not have tomorrow
I...realize that some of the things I worry about DON'T really matter at all
I...realize it's not the THINGS that matter but the relationships we have formed
I...realized I don't say I love you enough to those around me
I...have alot to learn on this journey of life and hope I never lose my focus on what's important.

To those of you going through trials that seem too much to bear may the lord bless you! And know how much I love you!

MY FIRST PRINCESS PARTY

MY BABY TURNED FOUR. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. WE HAD A PRINCESS PARTY AND SEVEN BEAUTIFUL PRINCESSES CAME. WE PLAYED PIN THE CROWN ON THE PRINCESS, MADE PRINCESS TIARA'S, DANCED, ATE PINK COOKIES, PINK MARSHMALLOWS, FRUIT KABOBS, AND PINK ICECREAM WITH A PINK DECORATED "ARIEL" CAKE. WE JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH PINK AT OUR HOUSE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL GIRL.

Wait, Stop, Backup!

Wait, is that my baby boy dancing with a GIRL? Oh No I say to myself, this can't be. Didn't I just change his diaper yesterday? Don't I have to hold his hand and walk him into school? Don't I have to teach him his ABC's? Apparently not. Now I have to worry about girls calling and girls leaving love notes in his desk and dropping him off to dances instead of walking him into kindergarten. I have to worry about the "sex" talks, and growing older and changing voices. Oh, I guess he is growing up. No longer my baby boy but my handsome "tween". Ready, but not really ready for it all. I guess all I can say is, "Let the fun begin" (and no kissing until your at least 25 right?? or maybe 30!


So cute! The girls already feet taller than all the boys came wearing their high heels, makeup, nails done, diamonds in the hair and around the neck. Oh so sute and awkward at the same time.



My handsome baby boy. Shhhh no one tell him I am still calling him my baby boy, I would be in big trouble-It's hard for me to even get a hug now a days. Too cool for all of that!

Hunting in Colorado

Whether they like it or not my boys will be hunters! Good thing they like it. Chad took Kaden to Colorado to go goose hunting and man did they shoot em. They got their limit everyday and couldn't wait for the next day to do it all again.I'm so glad Chad has a hunting buddy!

Baptism Day

So proud that our boy made the decision to be baptized. What a special day. He is so lucky to have so many family and friends to support him.

Snowboarding Dude!

Taking the boys snowboarding for the first time. They each got a two hour lesson and it didn't take long before they were on the lifts snowboarding down. It really does look fun. I may just have to try and learn, except I am sure it will take more than one lesson before I am boarding down the hill. They woke up the next morning very sore, but said it was worth it.
