Happy Birthday "OLD MAN"!!!

Hunter Dan turns the BIG 4-0 today. hehehehe Happy Birthday hon, hope your day is not to hard on ya! I love you!

For the love of my baby...

Only 30-some days left and I get to meet my baby boy. I am soo excited and nervous. Yeah it just hit me that I have to do the whole labor thing again. Bug was a "Hollywood" delivery...the rest of them...not so much. My body is tired, and I'm feeling ready to be done, but the end is getting so near I can see it now. 500, Bug was right I've hit the 500 mark, and it's looking like this puke-fest I've been celebrating will continue right until the end. Worth it?...absolutely, even if my teeth decay and fall right out.:-)

****************

Have you ever gotten so far behind that it seems impossible that you will ever catch up? That's where I've been these last few weeks. I have so many things I want to post about, Bugs ordination, my Mother-in-laws funeral(we are all still struggling with the fact that she is gone), Halloween, the SYTYCD concert...the list goes on and on. I have missed reading and posting, and trying to keep in touch with all of you out there. Life has been hectic as it is for everyone, and unfortunately blogging has been put right at the end of the list.

*****************

Just a quick post to get my over two week ago one off the top. Last Friday we all spent the afternoon(in the 42 degree temp.) raking leaves and getting the yard winterized. Sunny day but quite chilly!!!

Good timing I'd say since this was Saturday....
Awwww...I love the changes in the seasons...It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...my ABSOLUTE favorite time of the year!!!! Even better....Christmas is going up this coming weekend at my house(hubby will be home, and I definitely can't do it by myself) because we are heading to Idaho for Thanksgiving!!!!(gotta have Christmas up for when we get back)WOOHOO!!!!!!

A new baby coming soon, beautiful snow, healthy-crazy kids, eternal families, Thanksgiving at home and Christmas...truly, I have so much to be thankful for. 500 barfs...no big deal!:-)

7 Years Today!!!!

Happy Anniversary Babe!!!!

You were and still are a very BIG blessing in my life.

Thanks sooo much for all the many things you do for our family.

I'm grateful we have forever together.

I love you Hunter Dan!!! Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!

Sadness...

We received a completely unexpected phone call last night. Hunter Dan's Mom passed away. My heart is breaking for my husband, and his 7 siblings. As we cry here for how much we will miss her I know the reunion on the other side was joyous and wonderful as she was reunited with her husband, son, parents, and all her loved ones who had gone before. We love you and will miss you. I am so glad families are forever.

Happy Birthday to..........ME!!!!

Holy Smokes 33 years old!! How did that happen? Just wanted to say a big THANK-YOU Mom(with a little help from Dad...haha) for bringing me into this world, and always taking such good care of me. I love you both more than you could ever even know! You two are the best, and I am very blessed to have you as my parents.

*****************

Then 10 years later, my adorable niece Kylee was born. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the cutest birthday twin ever, LOVE YA!!!!(hope you get spoiled!!)

Hope every one has a great day...it's a special day for our family, especially Bug. Like I said before, what an amazing Birthday present for me. Can't wait to get around and say "HI" to everyone, it's been a long time!!!:-)

Stressed!?!

Maybe a little...

Just like last week...it's going to be a busy week. We've had many costume orders, and I think we are pretty much done. We also have a boutique coming up this weekend, and I am working non-stop to get tons of items made. Not to mention trying to get all the new items onto the Ribbon Blossoms website. Also this next weekend is very special since Bug will be receiving the Aaronic Priesthood, I can think of nothing better as my birthday present. I can't wait to see my Mom and Dad since they will be coming down for it.

I have missed blogging and getting around to visit everyone, I am missing all my bloggy friends, I will have tons of catching up to do and I can't wait!!!

I miss you all, and hope every one is doing well!!

How can time fly by so quickly!!!?

Happy 12th Birthday BUG!!!!!

I seriously can't believe 12 years have gone by so quickly!! You were the first little munchkin that was put into my arms, and I was sooo thrilled to have a handsome little boy. I didn't know if you were a boy or girl, and the very second I saw you, the love and joy I felt for you(this sweet little guy) was overwhelming. You have brought me many, many moments of joy, pride, admiration, and awe that I was trusted to be your Mom. I love you so much Bug... there just aren't words to describe it. This birthday is a very special one, and I am very proud of the young man you are and are becoming.

I love you buddy!!! Happy Birthday, and I hope you have a great day!

Did I mention...I LOVE YOU!?!?!?! Thanks for being you, even if it includes lots of disgusting bodily function noises!:-)
