Hippty Hoppity Easter's on its way!

Do you remember being a child and know that the Easter Bunny was on his way? The Easter Bunny, unlike Santa, brings Easter eggs and candy..even if you are bad or good. He's a Tricky little fellow who hides eggs all over the house and maybe gives a toy or two.

Remember running down the stairs to find a basket full of goodies?  Before having breakfast, you tried eating as many as you could.....before your parents told you to stop because you would 'make yourself sick...'

Then if the Easter basket full of candy wasn't enough! That silly Easter bunny had hidden eggs all over the house or even outside.

I remember those days. But now that I am older it seems to me that yes, Easter for the kids are still about the Easter Bunny, the candy and the beloved Egg hunt. But for me its about.... going to church with your family . Teaching my boys the 'true' meaning of Easter. A value that will live on forever.......



Until next time,

I love this song...

It reminds me of my sweet husband of 16 1/2 years. He's still the one and only...

I love this Quote....

“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:This is me d*mn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me or leave me. Accept me or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be & don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good & bad you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”

 It says exactly what every women has at one point in their life has felt and probably want to say this...but how many of us really do....

The mother's how come list.....

How come everytime I turn on the hair dryer or the vacuum I hear the phone ring?

How come whenever I am in a rush I get stuck behind someone driving 20mph?

How come I can never find my children but as soon as I am on the phone they are either crying, fighting, climbing all over me or asking me dozens of questions?

How come after I put my children to bed and spend an hour cleaning up I finally settle on the couch for "me time" and they either start crying or want some water?

How come every time I am late I hit every red light?

How come when i switch lanes in traffic the lane that I get into goes slower all of the sudden?

How come there is never a cop around when you see someone breaking the law but they pull YOU over for no reason at all? (routine stopping)

How come an ice cold beer goes down like water when you only have time for one, but then goes down like crushed glass when you've got all day and night to drink?

How come the only station that you want to watch on television is the station that is having technical difficulties?

How come the birds only crap on my car the same day I wash it?

How come the line i get into at the department store ends up having pricing difficulties with the people in front of me and ends up taking 15 extra minutes?

How come the government takes months to send you money they owe you but just days to send you a bill that you owe them?

How come nobody I know is online when I have time to sit and chat and EVERYONE is on when I don't have time?

How come the clothes I buy look so much better in the changing room at the store?

How come I only feel like shopping when I don't have the money to spend?

How come when I am sick I am still expected to cook supper,do the laundry, and clean. But when my husband is sick he's a baby and can't help do anything?

Wonders

“The past is behind, learn from it.
The future is ahead, prepare for it.
The present is here, live it.”

 Eyemadreamer Thomas S. Monson quotes


Do you believe that this is quote is true?
When  we learn from the past, and do everything we can do in the present, do we make a better future?
Teaching our children, what we did in our younger days...and at the time...we did not know was wrong, asking them not to make the same mistake, protecting our children. But really what are we doing? Exactly, what this quote says.
So in reality, how far could one take this? Could we say the government should learn from the past? Yes. Could we say the churches we attend could learn from this? They do..really. Could you say that every parent in the world..somehow uses this quote..in day to day life? Absolutely....in some form. Just like in the example I stated above. In my last post...I said something about my oldest son wanting to join the Air Force. My husband and I never even considered such an option. So when he said this, I took him over to see my grandfather. He told Frank, about the dangers but then also the pros. And told him to make the decision wisely because...once your in ..your in for a long time. (of course Frank is only 14...so it will be awhile) But it was the right choice in taking him over to my grandfather.
Until later

Treasured memories

                                   My boys and I



Sweet memories! Something to always remember! My oldest son will be 14 on Monday. And I'm wondering what happend to my baby? He's taller than I am, still growing like a weed. He's starting to make plans of what he wants to do when he's out of school. And as hard as I try, I can't believe he's as old as he is, that one day he will move away. Kinda makes me sad. He asked me one day 'Mom, What are you going to do if I decide to go into the Air Force?' I laughed and said "Follow you..I will join too!' He said 'Mom, but the cut off is like 35 and you will be 36 ...' I cut him off and said 'I know Frank. You know what will really happen? No, matter what you decide to do..military or not. I will always be proud of you and I will always love you.' He smiled and said 'I know mom!'

I try to tell my boys that every day. No matter what you do, no matter how you decide to live your life. Know that your parents will always love you and be proud of you. In a lot of families, children do not hear that.  
I hope when you read this, you will find your child. And tell him/her that you do love them. Tell them everyday. Because they may already know...but sometimes they need to hear it.
Until next time keep smiling !
