HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!

It amazes me that time can fly so quickly.
As I went through some old photos, I
found these treasures. I have enjoyed
every moment of being Ryan's mom.
He is a treasure to me and I love him
with all of my heart. He is one of those
souls that is kind and sweet and
generous. He is gifted and humble at
the same time. He loves life and
everything that it has to offer. What
a blessing it is to have him in our
family. Happy 28th birthday my son.

CONGRATULATIONS BILL!

Bill took the exam for his Brokers License last week.
He just found out that he passed it! I am so proud
of his dedication to prepare for this test. He worked
really hard and it paid off. Congratulations Bill!

MY NEW QUILT THAT I MADE

I was so excited to get a new sewing machine that I went
through all of my extra fabric that I used for model homes
and found some that worked for our master bedroom. I
love the colors and the whole thing was free! I also made
the large pillows to match. I can't wait to start on another
project. If I keep my mind and hands busy I don't dwell
on problems!

7 WONDERFUL YEARS

It is hard to believe that Bill and I have been
married for 7 years now. It seems like we have
been together forever. I am so grateful that he
knelt down on the Golden Gate Bridge and
asked me to share my life with him. He is a
gift to me from my Heavenly Father and I
thank Him everyday for my sweetheart. Happy
7th Anniversary my sweet William!

How Can I resist this cute little boy

How can I resist a plea from this cute little boy for
his favorite cookie recipe? It is a good thing that
Brandi has a craving for them too so that can help
Dan in the kitchen! I am so happy to have Daniel
with his family. I know that he got really lonely
for us while he was in Alaska. Seattle has stolen
his heart just like it did Ryan and Brandi. He plans
on staying on there for school and work. I just
have to find the time and save my pennies to go
and visit my little ones in Washington!

I NEED TO REMEMBER THIS

I went to the Temple this morning and felt such peace.
I am finding it hard to keep the anxiety level down
right now. Everything seems to be in such turmoil.
This scripture hangs on my office wall.
I refer to it every time I feel upside down.
It helps me bring everything back into
perspective. How I love the scriptures!
