Just curious....why do you hear the saying "stop and smell the daisies" when daisies don't really smell??!?!?!?

My life has gone to the dogs...

How can you have a rough day and not come home to one of these cuddly lil'buddies and get a big ol' smile all over your face?
I love this picture. They make me think of my best girl...Bailey!

Man it's hot.....

Dang....is it summer, already???!!??!?

I wish .....

that my family will have a wonderful week full of love and happiness. That there will be no sickness or ill health. I wish that they will each find peace and comfort in the tender mercies the Lord sends each day. I wish that hard hearts will soften and the Holy Ghost will be a constant companion to all. I wish so many things, and I pray each day for all of those wishes to come to those whom I love most of all...my family.
Mom, Dad, Dana, Michael, Austin, Abbie, Charlotte, Mike, Jake, Josh, Emma, Elaina, Alan, Shelby, Riley and Jackson...and of course, my boys and girl: Tony, Zach and Bailey.
I love you all:)

This is me attempting to hold on to the ride....

It's been absolutely crazy. My life has officially spun out of control. It started with an auto accident and now it's overrun with doctor appointments, x-rays, and insurance agents...not to mention lawyers. Ugh. Can I tell you how much I detest lawyers???!? (Sorry, ALAN!:) I'll make sure you are the exception!
When I saw this picture, I had to have it. This picture explains the way I feel. I am trying to hold on...but, at times, it feels like I have no control!

I love this picture.

Love is in the air...

I realize that I have missed Valentine's day in my blog...I didn't change the background or devote a post to good ol' cupid...but it wasn't forgotten...I just didn't have the time or energy to update my blog. So now that I have a few minutes, I thought I would do a quick update.

I love the feeling of being in love. I love the security of knowing someone knows all about you-good and bad- and loves you regardless. I love knowing that he is my first thought in the morning and the last thought before I close my eyes each night. I love that he gives me free kisses with no expectations. I love that he chooses to put me in his arms and slow dances with me in the living room at will. I love that he is always warm and will allow me to put my icicle toes in between his warm legs while we cuddle in bed. I love that he knows just the right places to touch me that gives me the giggles. I love the fact that my lover is also my best friend in the whole wide world. I am so blessed.
