To my Brady Boy!!!!


It is my nephews birthday today I've lived with him since he was born and taught him since he was two and today he turned four. He is such a little cutie, he has the cutest little smile and the most adorable laugh. But what I love most about him is the way he picks a toy and then carries it around with him everywhere it never leaves his side for about a week and then the next week he picks a new toy. He's always laughing and smiling and he has this way of melting your heart right as your about to blow your top. Anyway I love him to pieces!

To my little man,
I love you, have a good year and keep on smiling. Don't grow up to soon, stay your small cute little self. Happy Birthday!!!!!

Birthdays!


I have the hardest time remembering birthday's, It's probable because most of the time I don't even know what the date is. Anyway I can't even remember my own family's birthday let alone all my friends birthday's, all that to say is if I missed your birthday I am sorry its not for a lack of love for you its just I'm terrible with dates. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I Love You!

What I Love About You



I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.






I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, "I Love You,"
And the way you're always there.





I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.


- Crystal Jansen



Happy valentines everyone, Spread the love!

" If "


( I've always loved this poem:)

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!



Winds of change


Well the winds of change have decided to blow and now its my turn to follow their leading. Its kind of scary because although I've been waiting to move for almost a year and a half its still stepping into the unknown. I'm breaking out of my protective cocoon and getting ready to spread my wings, yep it's freaking me out.

The flu has struck.

Well my home has just caught the flu and everyone is falling like flies. I was the first to get sick so I guess you could say I'm the culprit of spreading the dreaded winter disease. I'm all better now but everyone else is coming down with it, the saddest is the kids they look so pitiful and sad with their sick eyes and runny noses. Anyway, please keep us in your prayers.

The Grand Reopening!

So I promised I'd reopen this blog on the dawning of a new year and I have this is my first post of the brand new year. Today is my free day and I was reading over my old blog posts sort of to pass the time and sort of cause I was interested in what kind of crazy things I had written over the months and years that I have had this blog. I must say I've had a pretty interesting life so far, the places I've gone the people I've seen and lived with I could never have done any of that if i had not been in the family. The day before yesterday our home was all watching the Superbowl together and I looked around and I realized wow there's not that many of us left. Oh man that took me down bummer lane, I started remembering back to our first year here in NY, when we were ( and when I say we I'm talking about my family just so you know) all together 20 0r of us all eating canned stew and salmon everyday sitting on the floor cause we had no couches playing games in our basement and playing capture the flag in the forest, yeah those were the days. Anyway yeah so I started missing everyone, and really getting down about it. But then the lord kinda made me count my blessings and look back at those years and see all that I had and all that I got to experience since then and it really was a lot. There are so many things that happend in my life since then so many diffrent people i've lived and worked with that were all truly wonderful people. Anyways the lord really turned my trip down bummer lane into a cruise down praise river. I was able to look at my life now and praise him for all that I have experienced and all I will experience, when I look at the future i'm excited cause I can't wait for what's coming next. Life truly is beautiful!
