I often wonder what my life would be like if my Parent’s did not pass on.  I think about all of the good memories am amazed where I am today.  I am Blessed to be where I am now, God’s plan has lead me to where I am and the Family he gave me. Dale had the kids are outside now and I was able to take a pic of a recent LO.  

Here is a Photograph of some Tomatoes we grew in our garden, I think this year has been the best!  Yummy Yummy Yummy!

Here is another LO I created a while back…….

So the layout above tells alot about me and my children, though you may not see it right away (or know it).  I tell my children I am ALWAYS in their Hearts..NO Matter What.  So even when I am gone and not here on earth, The will feel me in their Hearts.  They love knowing I am always there, all Day through school, anytime I am not around…they know right where I am.  Forever in My Heart and Your’s I Pray with them Daily.

 Thanks for your comments and support for my Family.

Cole needed to have surgery on his eye to correct a muscle that was almost 3 times what it should be…..He was so Brave, I am very proud of him.  Everything went very smooth and today he even made it to Basketball Practice ( I do not think anything can stop him)!  Addison’s rash is gone I just have those dang sore joints in my hand, knees, & feet YUCK!  In this Pic you can see what Cole could do with his eyes before the surgery:

He could take his right eye and point it anywhere opposite of his left.  Now after his surgery he cannot even do that when he tries.  I am so happy we were lead to the right specialist. This is Cole recovering:

His eye got more swollen and Black and Blue but he is full of his usual energetic self..LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!  Nothing will keep this Child down.  I have finished some Layouts with the *NEW* Paper Trunk CHA release, I just need to take some Photographs =)

I am thinking of doing a RAK, if you would be interested please write on this post.  THX.

On Sat.  we set up paint and 2 18×24″ canvas in my studio, getting ready to paint.  The kids both had the same colors/brushes to use and this is what they came up with…

Addison’s:

Cole’s:

As you can see they both were inspired by each other in different ways while they painted.  SO now I need to find the perfect place to hang these beauties

Cole’s eye surgery went great and he is recovering well.  Trying to keep him “down” is a challenge in itself, he is always on the move. 

When we got back from our vacation I noticed this terrible rash on Addison, took her right in to the Doc and she was diagnosed with Fifth Disease (Erythema Infectiosum).  Dale and I also caught the virus, I only had terrible joint pain, but Dale got both the rash and joint pain…NASTY stuff.  My hands still hurt now as I write.  The Doctor told him Disney keeps them in bussiness..LOL!  Here is what Addison looked like for over a week-

The lace looking rash was on her face, arms and legs.  My poor sweetie was so very uncomfortable.  We now just have to keep her from getting to hot or it brings it back out.  Luckily Dale did not get the rash on his face so he could still go to work

Hope you all have a very blessed week.

xoxo

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have logged in to update my blog/website.  Life has been so incredibly crazy.  So much has happened I don’t even know where to start.  I write here wondering, do I write for me or do I write for everyone that is reading.  The answer is, I write for me.  I print out all my entries and include them in my Journal.  So life has it’s ups and downs. I write about them all.  so……….. Lots of Happy Family Moments!

It has been very down for me lately.  I have been very sick with my ear and other health problems.  It has kept me off of my computer, away from my friends/family, and honestly sad.  I am doing better now but am mad at myself for the self-pity I feel.  It is wrong, but I really want a break, when does it end?  Or does it for me?  It really makes no difference, I feel the same way inside. 

On another non mental note:- Addison graduated Kindergarten, we went to Legoland, Laguna Beach, Disneyland!!!!  It was fun, Dale planned the entire trip and did an awesome job!!!  We have had a very busy summer, It has been really hot… too much for the kids to go outside and play.  So I have been playing and working with them inside.  Addison is reading sooo well for a 5 yr. old.  She is reading chapter books now.  Cole is into his rocks and crystals as always.  Tomorrow we are going to paint on very large canvas.  I cannot wait to see what the kids do.

We went to Laguna Beach first, Legoland, then Disney.  We left the day after school ended so it has a bit much for the kiddos.  We had a blast though, the kids loved the pool at our hotels.  I slept during the drive.  The rolling hills to Ca. are just yucky for me.  Meclazine and out; good for me. 

I miss you all my dear friends-
