Happy Mother' Day ~ Yes You Can

Can you love more deeply, a child who sometimes strays

Can you sit in silence when there are things to say

Can you look into their eyes and read them like a book

Can you know what they will say, when they give you that look

Can you pray for strength to guide and point the right direction

Can you do what it will take, to make a course correction

Can you cheer them to the finish line

Can you let them go when they're doing fine

At times I know you wonder, why do I even bother

The truth is simply put, it's because they call you Mother

Life is a Puzzle

Life is like a puzzle with pieces everywhere


Sometimes they are gathered, sometimes they are shared


There are times we often find them scattered on the ground


Things do change, time does pass, and longed for pieces found


Stress will come and stress will go, work together and you will grow


The path you're on has bumps and bends


Hold on to faith don't let trust end


As your life comes together, and all the pieces fit


Enjoy the love and laughter, and always keep your wit


You'll have trials, there is no doubt, an important piece you will find out


Steady as the picture clears, this masterpiece will take some years


You both bring pieces with you, that make you who you are


With patience, love and kindness, together you'll go far

Kalli & Tyson

This is Tyson James Wall. Kalli loves him and so do we.
 He asked Mike if he could marry Kalli and Mike said," YES"
 Tyson took Kalli to St. George over Spring Break, where he asked her to
marry him. He gave her a beautiful ring.
Our family is growing and I love it.

THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN

We welcomed a new grandchild into our lives on Friday March 4, 2011. His name is Carter Jay Whitehead, he was 9lbs 1oz. and 20 1/2 " long. Kimber is doing well, Bridget is adjusting and Jason is tired, very tired. We thank the Lord for his safe arrival and good health.
