Off to Girls Camp....

I am heading out of town for the next few days......GIRLS CAMP!! Oh, what fun. I am going to help COOK. Should be a lot of fun. I am sure I will have pictures to post.

See ya!!

Do your kids do this?

This is Pineapple Princess...my oldest child. She is 15 1/2 years old. Can you guess where she is sleeping? Yep...my bed. I am curious....do all kids gravitate towards their parents bed? All of my kids...all 5 of them always fall asleep in my bed, crawl into my bed to snuggle with me or Daddy or when we aren't home go into our bed. Kalani and I were gone on this Friday night and came home about 9:00 p.m. This is where we found our oldest kid.....all comfy cozy. What is it about a parents bed? I remember in the movie Home Alone the little boy goes running into his parent's room and ends up staying on his parent's bed the whole time he is home alone. Does it offer safety and protection? Does it make the bad day go away? What is it? Whatever the answer is I love it. I love that even my big kids still want to feel the comfort of being wrapped up in my arms or at least my blankets....

Friendship.....Part II

Please see below for Friendship entry # 1...

So, to continue with all things Friendship. This lasagna was delievered to us with a note that said to have it on a night when we couldn't think about dinner plans. The Diet pepsi was given to me because I have friends that know me sooooo well. They know that Diet Pepsi is like the nectar of the Gods for me. I know it is so very bad for me....but man does it taste good. Heehee. Anyway, again I can only say Thank you to all of you who have gone out of your way to show love and grace upon me and my family. We can NEVER repay the kindness and love we have been given by all of you who constantly share your love, your friendship, your warmth with our family. I thank my Heavenly Father EVERYDAY for all of you.

Friendship.....Part I

Without going into great details...My family and I have had a pretty rough time of late. It seems like the world as crashed down on our little family. It seems like the darts of the advesary are being shot directly into my home. On certain days I felt like giving up....I felt like there was no hope. I felt all alone. I felt like I couldn't take one more step forward. Then out of the blue I would receive a gift. The gift of friendship. Heavenly Father sent so many rescuers my way. Oh, how I love FRIENDS. Oh, how I love FAMILY. Oh, how I love the GOSPEL. My testimony has been strengthened. My hope has been renewed. I feel a little stronger. I feel loved. I feel blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. There aren't words to express my deep love and appreciation to all of you. These pictures show some of the flowers that were delievered to our home....to cheer us up. Aren't they beautiful?.....Just like those who delievered them!!! Thank you is all I can muster...I love you. You have touched my life in marvelous ways.
