I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN FEELING LEFT OUT AND

DEPRESSED.....
...caused you have missed my updates on the babies, LOL. But my camera and computer have both been on the fritz, but we are back on, so here you go. The babies are two weeks old now. And cute as can be! They are growing up so much! They no longer want to be in the box, they want to get out and crawl around, and explore. They no longer want to be contained, which is a problem, when we are moving soon, and do not want then making a mess on the carpet. So we are trying our best to contain these little cuties! But I think we are going to have to get drastic soon:-) And Belle is just done! She still nurses them and spends time with them, but she is spending more and more time away from them and is also venturing outside again.

News on the home front. We should begin to have news again on Monday, hopefully GOOD news **fingerscrossed**!! I will keep you posted, please keep us in your prayers, we NEED them:-)

WHAT HAVE I BECOME????? PART 2

This is Craig Morgan singing Tough at the Grand Ol Opry. I do not like this video, but his actual music video he disabled, it so it was not able to be played anywhere else, smart of him I guess. So you get the idea anyways:-) My husband has since my medical issues, dedicated this song to me (aside from the bacon, LOL). And since it has been five years today, and in the song it says five years I thought I would post it now. "The Doctor said, she'd have to fight to live." I did, I fought to get my life back. I am strong, I am a survivor, I am a fighter. And I thank God that He allowed me the wonderful blessing of continuing to live when all medical science said I should have been dead. That is my God, He is a miracle worker! And He has not only given me the spirit that I needed to overcome the things in my life, He has given a wonderful family and friends to walk beside me and help me along the way. You know who you are, and if I don't say it enough, I love you, thank you! I would not be here without you. That is all for now, I may add tidbits along the way today as I feel it in my heart. Thanks:-)

WHAT HAVE I BECOME?????

Well five years ago today marks the beginning of my new life, and I have been asking myself all week what have I done with my life? And as of yet I have not come up with any answers:-), I will let you know if I do.




Five years ago today is when I had my ruptured aneurysm in my brain, that left me paralyzed and demented (I had sever dementia), and according to my doctor the chief of neurosurgery at the U of U(the number two in the nation), dead upon arrival. SO obviously I have made HUGE physical advances, and I am a HUGE MIRACLE of God's wonderful love and power! Unless you really know me, you would never know anything ever happen to me. But I still carry the scars, both physically and mentally. I will spare you the pictures of that time cause they are VERY scary! But honestly, I always thought God saved me for a purpose, that I am here for a reason, but five years later, I am still the same horrible person. I am still not the mother that I feel my kids should have, I am still not the wife I feel my husband should have. And the list just goes on. What is different today then that day five years ago? Aside from the fact that I am not 8 months pregnant? Nothing! Five years is a HUGE landmark, and I wanted to do something with my life, be someone! Any ideas on how to become the person you want to be or was intended to be?




We always spend the day of in fasting and prayer for our family and church family, and any needs in healing that we see. So today we are praying and fasting and we would love you all to join in with us. And then tomorrow, on the day that I finally came out of the brain surgery and they knew I would live , we have a big feast/party. So tomorrow we will be feasting at our church. We invite you all to join us there as well.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Well Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you all have a wonderful blessed day. I woke up this morning to get ready to go to work, yeah I had to work but only for a few hours in the morning so it is all good. And my beautiful children had breakfast cooked and ready for me and Thom:-) How sweet are they!!! Kaiden had made pancakes and Rylie had set the table. They are so special. They have such sweet little hearts. We have been wonderfully blessed with sitters tonight. Our church is putting on a 'movie night' and dinner for the kids, us parents can drop our children off and go out, guaranteed competent free sitters, SO AWESOME!!!! We are probably just going to dinner and a movie, but we are really looking forward to it! That is all, just wanted to brag about how wonderful my hubby(oh yeah, Thom took me shopping yesterday let me buy whatever I wanted and watched the kids while I shopped, and he bought me roses) and kids are, and how beautifully blessed I am!!!!!:-)

AN EARLY VALENTINE...

AND THE BEST ONE YOU COULD EVER RECEIVE!

OUR NEWEST ARRIVALS

Well my babies finally came. They were a few days late, and I was getting worried. But she finally went into labor this morning. Of course, I freaked, LOL! I locked her in the laundry room and called Thom, and told him to get his butt home:-) She is so young, she is only 10 1/2 months old, I did not think she would be able to do this on her own. I went and jumped in the shower before Thom got home and when I came out she had one little one out, and she had done it all herself. The little one was all cleaned up and was nursing heartily. I was SOOO impressed! It took from about 10:00 this morning to 2:00 for her to deliver them all, so it took a long time, but she did it! She only had three, but they are all SO DANG CUTE!!! Obviously we are not sure what they are yet, but at this time we think they are all girls.

This is Liberty, the first born. Thom named her Liberty cause of the Liberty 'Bell', and because when he gets his dog he can say that it is "Chasing Liberty", LMAO, yeah lame I know, but whatever, I needed the laugh today, so it stuck:-)


This is Lucky, cause she is lucky to be alive, her mother tried to kill her!!!! Seriously, I was traumatized! This one was her third, so when she came out the other two were climbing on her and she totally ignored this one, she was just lying listlessly in between Belle's legs. I freaked out but luckily my good friend Maria was there, and she said chill out and picked up the baby and helped her then got Belle to finally take to her. Then we heard loud anxious baby screaming and we ran in there and Belle had thrown her out of the cupboard onto the tile floor beneath (only 6 inches but still), and she still had the after birth attached. I freaked again but again Maria stepped up and helped Belle out. About an hour later Belle finally had her cleaned off and was nursing her. It took her awhile to get attached to this one, but she finally did and all is well now:-)

And this one is Honey. Just cause she is so gosh darn cute!!!!:-)

These little ones are SOO precious!! And, yes, I am keeping them all:-) Though my mom and Maria may convince me to give them each one, we will see.:-)

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE?

When my kids turn to me and ask me a question, fully believing that I will answer them, yet....I am too dumb and I don't know the answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE it!!! And as they are getting older it is happening more and more, it is always, "I don't know, wait till your dad gets home and ask him." I hate having to tell my kids that I don't know something. I should be able to answer any of their questions. And what happens when they get older and they start asking the really tough questions of life? You know you watch TV, and the mom always has the right answers, or the perfect way to talk her daughter down after she has been dumped, or the proper way to "direct" her children to do the right thing. I am not that mom!! I think I suck at this whole mom thing, and it is only going to get worse! AAAUUUGGGHHHHHH*sob*sob*!!

And this all started from a simple, "Mom, what makes electricity?" LMAO!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

written by a Canadian woman, but oh how it also applies to theU.S. , U.K. and Australia

THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH

Here is a woman w ho should run for Prime Minister!Written by a housewife in New Brunswick , to her local newspaper.

This is one ticked off lady.'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?

Was it or was it notstarted by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day,in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and ina field in Pennsylvania ?Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to betortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fightingagainst in a brutal insurgency.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repentsfor incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East startcaring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishableby beheading in Afghanistan .

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacki ngoff Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashedthroat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan comeout and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion byhiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blows themselves up in searchof nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicidebombs.

I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that their freedomof speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers onthe ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them whensomething happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN soldier roughingup an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told notto move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:

I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,and 'fed special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complainingthat his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe inyour heart of hearts:

I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran'and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it,

I don't care!!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mailfriends Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for thisridiculous behaviour!If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country!

And may I add:'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made adifference in the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.'I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope youforward all this.

One last thought for the day:Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The Canadian Soldier.

3. The British Soldier.

4. The US Soldier, and

5. The Australian Soldier

One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.

MY BIRDS

LOVED the Superbowl!!!! This is them staring at the TV.

Seriously, it was so funny! They were doing their squawking and fighting and just being them. Then the game started, and they sat just like this watching it. half time came and they were 'birds' again, but the second half started and they took their game positions back. They were even cheering with us when the Cardinals made a touchdown. It was hilarious!!! They are so cute!! That is all, just wanted to mention my cute birds.
