12 Years ago..........

Every year that I'm with you

Has been better than before;

It's hard for me to imagine

How I could love you more.

Every year you've graced my life

Has been full of happiness;

I love your caring face, your voice,

Your tender, sweet caress.

Every year when this day comes,

I'm filled with love and pleasure;

Happy Anniversary, Joel,

My joy, my delight, my treasure.

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Old news

As some of you may have heard, on the 24th I ran the 5K fun run here in Levan. It was so much fun and I can't wait for the next one. I finished in 18th place (out of 31), my time was 33:13. Ok so not as great as some of you could have done but my goal was to finish and I accomplished it. Atleast I didnt come in last, that's something to brag about!!!!

Happy 11th birthday buddy

It's hard to believe that Cody is already 11. Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday that he was born. I can assure you that everyday he lets me know he is no longer my "little" boy. He is growing up so fast is scares me. Today he started football practice and is so excited to be playing tackle football. We are so proud of him and all he does. Happy Birthday Cody We love you!!!!

It was fun while it lasted!!

A few weeks ago (on Fathers day) we decided to buy the kids a tramp. They were so excited and could hardly wait to get home, set it up and jump. I was awesome! It had the net around it to keep the kids safe and everything. Needless to say it has kept the kids busy with hours and hours of summer lovin' entertainment.

That was exacley three weeks ago today and this is the after picture. Just makes me wanna break down and cry. Last night we had quit a wind storm here in Levan. I got up this morning let the dog outside, and when I opened the door I thought to myself "Wierd, I could have sworn the tramp was right there, Joel must have moved it and I didnt notice". Then I remembered that the wind had been blowing most of the night, keeping me up. I walked outside looked around and didnt see it. I looked across the street and seen the neighbors garbage can still laying there on the side of the street. There was no possible way the wind had blown the tramp away and that can was still sitting in the same spot it was last night. I thought for sure someone had stolen it. Joel got in his truck to drive around town just to check it out. Well needless to say he didnt make it very far. Just up the street to the west of us there it lay in a field all twisted and mangled. I think I am taking it harder than the kids. I really am just broken hearted.

Happy Happy birthday baby!!!!!!

Happy 32nd Birthday Joel!!!!!!

Happy anniversary Mom and Dad

How do I mend a broken heart?

My entire world has fallen apart.

How do I find hope in a brand new day,

when the one I love has gone away?

My mind overflows with memories of you,

of all that we've shared, all that we knew.

I long for your touch and your warm embrace,

the look in your eyes, the smile on your face.

My dreams are filled with your soft gentle kiss,

I wake and cry for all that I miss.

How do I mend a broken heart,

when my one true love and I are apart?

My heart knows to love only you,

it won't let go, what do I do?

Our moments together were precious and few,

but I cherished them all more than you knew.

I love you my angel and always will,

I loved you then and I love you still.

A mother's got to brag

How can I not share these pictures with the world? I have to admit these are the cutest kids I have ever seen!

My baby is getting so big

I know this is the only one of Cody, but you try to get an 11 year old to hold still and pose for a few pictures, it's almost impossible!
