Mother's Day

Mother's day is a special day to honor the most important person in your life! I want to take a moment to say something about my mommy. First, she looks more like my sister than my mom. Second, she spoils my kids more than she ever spoiled me. Third, I wouldn't have it any other way. Being a mom myself, I now realize some very important things. Like, I will never again have a full night's sleep, my food is not my own, my clothing was made to be used as napkins, and my house will be clean (after my children are grown). The most important thing for me is to raise my children to Love God, Love the Word of God, Love the man of God, and the house of God. Fortunately for me, this is also what my mother taught me. Thank you Mom, you are a blessing in my life and I am honored to say you are my mother! I Love You, Happy Mother's Day.
Now for all the other mothers in my life, if I began to name them all, I would leave one out. So to just name a few, My Bishop's wife, Sis. Wilson and my Pastor's wife Sis. Young. The impact you have made and are still making in my life, is amazing. I want to follow your wisdom and direction because I see the proof in your own family. Thank you for loving us! To my friends who sometimes treat me (lovingly) as your daughter, Dawn, Denise, Becca, Javawn, my aunt Sherry and all the others, you know who you are! Thank you, I love you! Happy Mother's Day! All you other mommies out there, you are doing a fabulous job raising those babies. I love you!
This Mother's Day was a little difficult because I had two less cards to buy. Ronnie's grandma, who we all lovingly referred to her as Gram, passed away in February. In October of 2007, my grandma passed away. It didn't hit me though, until I actually went to get all the cards, how much I really miss them. Though I didn't get to see either one of them very often, there is still a ache in my heart from missing them. The saying " You don't know what you've got till it's gone" is very true, so please take time for the ones you love, because you don't know how much time you have with them.
Lastly, I want to wish my sister Sarah and my sis-in-laws (Paula, Michelle, and Danielle) a Happy Mother's Day too! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the lives of my nieces and nephews. I love them and you a ton!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
