It's this gorgeous lady's b-day. Aubry Lin was born Dec.3rd at McKay Dee Hospital. When this girl was born seriously the nurses could NOT believe how much hair the she had. They asked my Mom if she wanted a bow or pig tails. She had beautiful olive skin that was flawless and chubby cherub cheeks and dark brown eyes. She's a wonderful sister,daughter,Aunt,Wife and the last ,but not least she's an amazing Mommy to Miss Millie Moo.
Have a SUPER great birthday Aub's. We'll be up to P.A.R.T.Y later tonight. Love you!
Today I'm thankful for ALL of our Soldiers past,present, and future so we can live in free Country. I love hearing the jet's fly over our home and watching them train. To me it is the sound of FREEDOM. We are very lucky.
Sam asked the other day if "I would be sad if he joined the Marines" . I quickly responded with "I would be honored and proud to have a son Serve our Country" does it make me nervous in a time of war? Absolutely,but proud he would want to serve his fellow man. Plus there's nothing better than a handsome man in uniform. He He.....
This year was a little different than other years only because of my wonderful tonsillectomy (which by the way FINALLY I'm feeling like myself ). Oh and my pictures load BACK WARDS dang it,but you'll get the picture. The day after Halloween. Poopy teenagers.
My Harrison was a Star wars guy and Jake was a goblin. Ok heres the deal. I love the fall and the Harvest but when it comes to Halloween I don't get into it to much. I love carving pumpkins and eating yummy soups,making sugar cookies and giving them to friends etc... We had friends over to go to our trunk-r-treat and then go around the neighborhood. The kiddos in front of the house. I just had rip up ALL my flowers for winter. Sniff,Sniff.. Decorating cookies the night before. MMMMM...and what's Fall with out roasted pumpkin seeds. Now that I'm feeling better maybe I'll keep up more. I tell you that was a ROUGH 2 1/2 weeks. Ewww....Now on to Thanksgiving. My Grandparents are flying in from Illinois and we can't wait. We're going to do the Polar Express on the Heber Creeper Railroad and just enjoy our family. LOTS to be thankful for this year.
Okay,Can I PLEASE be done? Really if your kiddos need tonsils out or the Doc has mentioned it....GET THEM DONE NOW. Don't have them wait until they are older. IT IS AWFUL!!!
The first couple days were alright. It was manageable. I thought "good deal I'm HOME free". Man was IWRONG. I had a abscess that was large and they had to dig and really it was NOT fun when I woke up. I felt like my ears were on fire. I'm going on day 7 . Over the weekend my throat was so swollen. It felt like I was gargling glass shards and since everything like your ears,face...etc is connected it felt like my ears were going to EXPLODE. I would gladly go back and labor ALL of my children over again. I really would.
Well the doctor (BLESS that wonderful man) put me on a steroid for the swelling. I'm SO SO grateful for modern medicine. My throat is still VERY sore and swollen ,but NOT near as bad as it was. Thank heavens for doctors,medicine,and Popsicles.
I'll have to post in a few days and give a update. That's all the whining I have energy for right now,plus my meds are kicking in and I might start typing old family secrets or something. You never know.
Monday is D-Day. The day my throat gets cut out. No really though. I'm totally freaked out. I'm sure things will go smoothly. I'll have to report next week. Until then......
It's that time of year again. When the green turns to vibrant orange,red,yellow,and gold. The mountains are splashed with all the different colors. This week it turned cold and now the mountains are tipped with snow. I have mixed feelings. Part of me REALLY wants it to be summer still. To be able to camp,play night games with the kiddos,sit on the front porch and watch the sun go down,go for snow cones on a warm night,have picnic's in the park . The other part of me LOVES the fall. I love the harvest,pumpkin patches,apple cider,falling leaves,the morning chill that bite's at your face when you walk out the door,hot homemade soup with rolls,hot cocoa by the fire. Living in Utah and being from the Midwest you would think I was used to WINTER. NOPE I'm not. I do like it through the holidays and then it can leave right out the door with the last of the company you might have. By the time January gets here I'm done. It's gray,wet,cold,,slushy,did I mention gray ....you get it. That's when I get homesick for Mesa. Sitting at the park watching the kiddos play,fresh lemons,oranges,grapefruit,warm sun, green grass. You get the picture. It's funny because NEVER in a million years would I have thought I could live without the 4 seasons. Living in Mesa at first was hard then you move away and you miss the warm sunshine that shines 362 days out of the year. Come summer of next year when it's 76-80 here and 108 in Mesa and everyone down there has their air conditioning on already and we have our windows and doors open I'll have a different post to write,but right now I'm starting to DREAD the 6am shoveling of the drive way so we can get out for work and school. SIGH.... I think I'll just enjoy the splash of color while it lasts and be grateful for eyes that can see the changing of season's. That's a start. Right?
This is my Grandfather Cornell J. Kane. I have two of my children named after him and his father which is James Cornell Kane. Today is his Birthday. I'm proud of my heritage and my Irish roots. I always did like the color green. I wish we were there to celebrate with him and my Nana. Sit in their back yard after dinner and watch the bunnies and the squirrels gather their babies for bed and listen to the locusts. I have such wonderful memories of the great town of Jacksonville Illinois. It's one of my most favorite places ever. It reminds me of the movie Pollyanna. I just returned from there 3 weeks ago and will post pictures of my visit soon. My Nana and Papa have always been a rock in my life and in my children's life. In my book they WILL live forever. Have a great day Papa. My boys thought I had lost it when I had them sing Happy Birthday at 7 AM in the speaker phone. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
