We are a family of five and enjoy our time together. Let me rephrase that, we enjoy our time with our girls and pray one day they will enjoy their time with us. They are each truely gift and we enjoy the adventure and laughter they bring into our lives.
My father passed away in April 19 2007. He loved the song "Butterfly Kisses" and dedicated it to his kids. He told us, before he passed, he would send us butterflies at our hard times in life! It never fails, when things seem the hardest we will spot a buttlerfly. When I was a kid Mom would give me Butterfly kisses before bed. This is why I Love Buttlerflies so much. Miss ya Dad!! Love ya Mom!!
My Dad
For the Loved Ones Lost
I Am Always With You When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,but be thankful we had so many good years. I gave you my love, and you can only guess how much you've given me in happiness. I thank you for the love that you have shown, but now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It is only for a while that we must part. So treasure the memories within your heart. I won't be far away for life goes on, and if you need me, call and I will come.Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all my love around you soft and clear.
Butterfly release
A few months after Dad passed they had a butterfly release at the place he passed at. The kids loved it as did I.
Hey Pap Paw
Everytime the girls see a Butterfly they stop and say "Hey Pap Paw"
Sage is in Kidergarten and she was practicing her rymes the other day. Out of the blue she says "Peter Piper sat on his Diaper" Maybe it was tiredness but we all died laughing! I love Kids!
What in the World?
The other day the girls come out of their room dressed very couriously. Ashlyn had on a tank top rolled up to her chest, tight shorts, I think they were Makyla's. Sage had a pair of tights tied around her chest, then 2 pairs of jogging pants tied around her waste, like a loincloth. Makyla had on a onepiece bathing suit and tights tied around her chest. I asked them what they were doing and their reply was "we are hot girls" Then they shake their bums and sing "we are hot girls, hot girls, hot girls" I inform them, with a straight face, that this would make Heavenly Father very sad and ask them if they want to go show dad. He was very calm and explained that they do not have to dress that way to get attention. He uses me as an example and says "your mom never was a hot girl, and I was attracted to her" Smooth huh? You could see the uh.. oh... in his eyes when he realized what he said!
So Hot!!
Sage came home from school the other day letting us know that a third grader thinks she is HOT!!! So Ashlyn chimes in with how two boys in her grade have told her the same thing. I am now out of jail on good behavior so I thought I would add the story to the blog. I need boys!!!!
Why I'm Not A Teacher
I was explaining to the girls that Joesph Smith translated the Book of Mormon and Prophets of old wrote it. So I questioned them " Who translated the Book Of Mormon?" They answered "Joesph Smith" Way to go Mom, I think to myself. I then ask "Who wrote the Book of Mormon?" Ashlyn said "Old People" One out of 2 is not bad right?
