Humble...







Always watching...







Always caring...

Unaware of her beauty...

but I am not...

a gift from my mom,

my tattered angel brightens my day,

and humbles my heart

she is the keeper of the secret garden,

and my breath...

A Few of My Favorite Things...generations of women...


{Misty holding LauraJune, me, mom, Tiffany holding Audrey 2007}
The famous generational shot! Today the women in my life are my favorite thing. The women in my life amaze me. My mom, soft, gentle, kind-my rock, never moving; My daughter & step-daughter so smart & strong; My granddaughters so much life in those little packages. (and me? plugging along and enjoying the ride-or trying too:)

I once read a quote from Gordon B. Hinckley of the importance of women. All generations flow from and through women. It blew me away. I come from strong, wonderful, enduring women. God made woman on purpose. He knew what He was doing and why, I think sometimes we (I) forget that. How cool our VT message is about that very thing this month!

Thank you Heavenly Father for placing these women in my life to inspire me! I am aware of your blessings today!

A Few of My Favorite Things...my extras

Aren't they beautiful!?! These are not my realtives-they are my extras (like a bonus prize:). K, C, and R. I've babysat this kiddos since C was 13 mos old. I've watched them grow, learn, and bloom. Sometimes I have them daily, sometimes I don't see them for days at a time. I sure miss them when they are not here. They make my heart smile. After all my babies were grown-I told God I wanted more children, a calm, sweet voice said 'honey, you have three every day', Thank you Father for these three! Each beautiful, each perfect, each has my heart. {Thanks to their mom and dad for sharing them with me-I am truly blessed}

A Few of My Favorite Things...

Thought I'd start with my NEWEST favs. In November 2006 we were doubly blessed, my stepdaughter in WI gave birth to Audrey Madison, then my daughter in TX gave birth to Laura June Lynnette. December 2007 that same daughter gave birth to Ralph David Wayne. The above picture was taken at Audrey's baptism in Ft Worth, TX. All three together!! What could be better for Christmas??
Miss Audrey is 20 mos old now and such a pretty girl! They live in WI, and we don't see her often, but her mommie is so wonderful about posting pictures (love the web!!). I love new Audrey pictures!
Miss Laura June is 19 (and 1/2) mos old now-what a cutie pie! Her family lives close, and we are able to see her often. Her mommie shares pictures too, AND I get to take some also!
And as if live couldn't get better Heavenly Father sent this fellow! At 6 mos he was starting to crawl, then switched over to sitting! David is Laura June's little brother, and is nice and close too:). We feel so blessed by these babies, and their mommies!
Heavenly Father you have truly blessed us, and we thank Thee for it!
