I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Happy Birthday Ashlynn!

On the morning of Ashlynn's birthday Anthony asked if we wanted to go to St. George for Valentines Day! Of course we did!! So he headed for his class and the girls and I started to pack! When we got there we had dinner and Anthony's mom decided that we needed to get a birthday cake for Ashlynn. (She was feeling so bad because she had sent Ashlynn a present in the mail and we left before it came.) So, we headed to Dairy Queen.



Ashlynn wanted the red rose on the cake and of course Grandma gave in! Her tongue was so red!!




Happy Birthday Ash!
