BLAH


I can't wait to...


Sleep in


Mow the green grass


weed the garden


see the dew on roses early in the morning


feel the sun warming my face


Slap a mosquito buzzing in my face


camp


run through the sprinkler


sit under the swamp cooler


To listen and smell the rain as the door is open


Listen to the laughter as the kids play outside


feel the grass on my bare feet


play ball


swim





I can't wait for SUMMER or at least SPRING

I feel a hint of warmth in the air today, I hear the snow dripping and I think I hear a bird. I feel hopeful.

Super Tuesday

Until a few month ago I only voted and that was the extent of my political ambitions. Then Mitt Romney began to run for President. Woo-hoo I thought a strong LDS man as the President. Boy our country would change. I listened to a couple debates, talked it over with my family and friends then a thought occured to me. Am I supporting this man because of religion only? So I did research on all the delegates. Which I encourage anyone to do. I found he is the best man for the job. I share in his ideas and plans. So last night I went to vote at the Republican Caucus where there were many people in attendance. Mitt was victorious in Colorado. And here I begin a new adventure. I am going to be a election judge and a delegate from our precinct. Yeah! I can't wait to get more envoled in our community.

our family in snow

Sunday when we left Mom and Dad's to come home the snow was terrible. The kids asked "what if it's a snow day?" My reply was "it's colorado, we know snow, I can't even remember a snow day in my school days."
But my mind was quickly changed when I shoveled the driveway. It wsa piling up fast. When we woke up Monday morning I knew it was a snowday. I swear it had snowed 5 or 6 feet over night. It was white everywhere. When I opened the door I saw that was only about a foot of snow. It was deep, fluffy and very inticing, even for me. The kids got an early start while I was putting Hyrum down for his nap.
Malory started with this little guy. Who was a great snowman till Ty kicked it down. So then we made some huge snowballs. They were so huge that I couldn't lift one on top of the other. So we made a smaller one for the middle and completed the first snowman. Then the brilliant idea surfaced. Let's build our family. So we did.
I think they turned out super!! Notice the Mom holding the baby. Here is a close-up.
