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."

I am a Mother!

I just love being a mother! It is so rewarding! There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank my Father in Heaven for my two beautiful, healthy girls. They are
everything I could have ever dreamed for!

Dirty Feet!

The girls love to help Daddy cut the grass!!
To bad their feet get so dirty. They were green
for days!!,... but thank goodness the sun has
been coming out more!

Sisters Are The Greatest!

I just want to let my sisters know that I love them
so much. It' is so hard to live up here and not get
to see them everyday. I am so lucky to have my
sisters in my life. They are my best friends and
they mean the world to me. I don't know what I'd
do without them in my life!

I WANT SPRING!!!

Last year at this time we planted some flowers! Then, we watched them grow! And grow! And grow! It was so beautiful up here. Everything was green, the flowers were blooming, the birds were chirping. It was gorgeous!! This Year,.... Nothing! It's slightly snowing outside, right now, as I'm typing. I don't think it could possibly ever get colder for this time of year! I want the SUN!!! But.....In a few months, You'll all be wishing you were here! And I'll be the one laughing!

A Tribute To My Beautiful Girls!

My they stay sweet and innocent forever!!

Dearest Ashlynn and Hailey, I know that you can never know the depth of
a Mothers' love until you have been a Mother your self, but I hope that some how you will be able to catch, even a glimpse, the joy and happiness that you have brought to my life! I love you with all of my Heart! I pray that you will have the strength to follow your dreams, and that those dreams will take you where your Father in Heaven would have you go. Never forget that you do have a Father in Heaven who loves you. He is always there for you and does answer prayers. I love you more than I could ever tell you!! Love, Mommy
