Sometimes When it's Quiet.....I Think

I have really enjoyed writing poetry, it gives me a place to put my feelings that I don't always share. Each of my children have inspired a poem of mine. This next one is for Chad. The first one I ever wrote was for Kevin, it is called " Remember Son".
Kalli can claim " I Cry Now" and Kimber belongs to " A Women's Prayer".

Women Prepare Your Sons

The love that I feel for you equals my pride

A blessing from Heaven, to have you by my side

Holding your hand as a child helped to guide you

Molding like clay, the man that's inside you

Teaching each day, something you need to know

Praying you seek His light, each day, as you grow

The man you become reflects greatly on me

The will to work hard to be all you could be

So little time , to make impressions that last

Remember my counsel, the hard times will pass

Hold tight to the rod, that is placed in your hand

For the honor is great to be called " A Good Man."

Prom 2009

The last dance corsage for me! I guess I will just have to move on to weddings

After much encouragement from family and a few friends Chad decided to go to his first and last prom ever. He asked Yonica to be his date. She is a foreign exchange student from Norway.

Mamma Mia... Chad's Bust'n a Move !

Bingham's Dance Company had their Dance Concert over the weekend. The girls asked some of the guys from the football team,( that they knew could lift and throw them around and not drop them), to dance in this Mamma Mia number. Chad is front and center. You can see him better after Mike moves around the BIG head in front of us.....Enjoy!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

I opened my blinds to this beautiful winter scene this morning. If it weren't for the beautiful blue sky above I might have actually cried. This picture does not really do it Justice. I went for a 2 1/2 mile walk this morning and froze my face off in the wind but it really ended up being a beautiful morning.
