He turned 15?? Wait..What!!

 

How is this possible???

I’m still trying to wrap my head around this.

I clearly remember turning 15 myself.

I remember my mom was at her sisters week

my dad made me a homemade card, on blue

construction paper (I still have it).

I got a boom box for my room. It was totally awesome.

but mostly I remember I felt LOVED!!

So now I have a SON who is 15.

A few things he might remember are

we took him out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory,

he got a Camo Jacket, a Skin for his Helmet,

Shot gun Case, Bullets, Cash, Shirts, etc.

I hope enjoys being 15. But mostly I hope

he feels LOVED!!

friends for life

For a couple of years now, we get together will some of our close friends around the new year.

I feel so blessed to have them in my life. We have such a good time together. I just wish we could

get together more often. I know they are always there for me. I have seen them step up to the plate

several times in there neighborhood, in church callings, at school etc. 

I look up to all of them in different ways. They are wonderful, caring, woman, wives, mothers,

and are defiantly some of the BEST people I have ever meet in my life.

I hold all these woman close to my heart and will forever.

magnet board…

 

For New Beginnings this year we are giving each girl a magnet board.

We got them at Home Depot 8x12 for $1.00 (and the guy drilled the holes in top for FREE). Arise and Shine Forth is the YW theme for 2012.  I cut out vinyl using my Cricut. I am in the works of making 40 of these babies. When each girls B-Day rolls around this year, she will be getting 8 magnets with the 8 YW values on them. I hope they like it.

 

frames…

1st home project of the year…. I took these photo’s with this layout in mind. I wanted B&W head shots. So this is what I got!!

Beauty lies WITHIN

 

So the YW in my ward wanted to do Manicure’s… So of course this got me thinking. I had already order some nail decals of little black mustaches. They are so CUTE. I decided to make them each a scrub for there hands. We had a good time and we talked a bit about Beauty and how each of them were created by a Loving Heavenly Father.

And my shadow my 14 year old son helped me… Tah Dah…

Lemon Sugar Scrub!!

SWEETest OF them ALL….

 

Valentine’s is right around the corner. I have to say that I have no will power when it comes to all the sugary, goodness that is all over every isle at the grocery store. There are a million ideas on little Valentines to make, and I can’t make them all, but I want too.

These are the 2 I chose to do this year, for Whitney’s class at school.  The flower suckers are for Payton’s friend’s and the YW in my class. Gavin he is more leaning toward not giving anything out. I hope he changes his mind, so I can get busy. I wouldn’t blame him he is in 6th grade.

In this Life..

 

This Morning Our Sweet Grandma Brough passed away. I immediately thought of what an amazing life she had, and how grateful I was to be apart of it. I have learned so much from her. She was a wonderful COOK, very INTELLIGENT, liked playing GAMES, a caring GREAT GRANDMOTHER to my children, and a JOKESTER. My second thought was how happy she must be to be reunited with her son Bradley after all these years. What a sight that would have been. My heart is filled with such love and hope for what comes next for her. And also to her Daughter my Mother in-law. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. What an amazing example of devotion and strength you have showed all of us.

This poem pretty much sums up how she lived her life.

I am so blessed to know I will see all my loved one’s again. Until that time comes I will do my best IN THIS LIFE, which I have been GIVEN!
