ThrouGh the Eyes of SaRa!

UnCle JiM

I remember when I was a little girl thinking my UnCle JiM was the FunNest, Nice-Est, and yes BeSteSt Uncle out there!! That has not changed! I WaTched as SaRa SoAked him up. He still has such a SweeT VitaLity surrounding him. I AlwaYs felt ImpoRtant, and I know SaRa felt the SamE way. He and my grandfather came for just a short stay on April the 18th...the same day I came home from the retreat. I wish that we could see them more often, but sure do TreAsure these SweEt MoMents!

ScraPAway RETREAT!

What an AweSome Get-AwaY!! This picture is from the back deck of the home, looking into Heber City. It was very windy and cool, however I didn't mind it one bit because I was inside a BeauTiful home.

The WoMen there were so nice. Each had a SweEt story to tell about their LiVes. We CriEd, HuMmed (when that happened it was time for a movie), listened to MuSic (Tricia had the best CD), TalKed, LauGhed, and had a huge assortment of CaNdy to keep our HiGh going. Even if we didn't craft, you could just relax.

MaRcie is the ScrapAway owner and was so cute. She made 6 meals in the coarse of 2 1/2 days. They were AmaZing to say the least. I will post some of them on the side of my blog...you MuSt MaKe!!! She had EverYthing covered...down to the BaTH SaLts! No need to LiFt a finger, unless you were CrAfTing.

For All of my FriEnds and FamiLy who could NoT make it......We HavE to Set a tiMe to do this... It is Worth the MoNeY!!!!

GOOSHING

So, gooshing is a SuCk your THumb (ok, so I don't do it anymore) , RuB your NoSe(a HaRt thing? you gotta see it), JumP for Joy, WiN a GamE (of any kind), be RiGht (that ToLd you So, kinda thing), FirSt sip of a FResh out of FouNTain coke, BaBy, ToDDLer, niBBling WeiGht waTchers 1-2 PoiNt Candy (mom's secret stash), CuTe friends (I will only HuG, not squish), and HeAring "I LoVe You" from your kids after they have been given Concequences (I know, it almost works to)!

*

When your "LoVE" BucKet is so full you just want to SquiSh. It's such a GooD feeling to have that kind of HaPPineSS inside, I want to share it on the outside....ThaNk you CheRyl for starting that!! HaVe you GOOSHED someone today!!!

I couldn't be more BleSSed!

Wearing MaKe-UP!! (eye,eye,eye)

Kelcie has been asking for months now to wear MaKe-Up, so I decided to help her on her quest to grow up. It is so hard to see her becoming a YouNg LaDy. I can either ReVOLt or EnJoy her JouRNey into becoming a teenager with her. It is so hard to believe that after the EaRRings, BraCes, BraS, PaDs, and IbuProfen she would want MaKe-Up ("shaw, as if "says Kelcie, didn't that come from a movie? Yes, she is saying that)! So I went to the store and bought some fun "GliTTer" eye-shadow and other items to help her. She was so excited to wear Mascara yesterday and today, add the glitter and she was set! I'm so grateful for her WillinGNess to be PaTienT with me as I keep trying to reign her back from GroWinG Up!

1. Wet'n Wild make-up.

2. Curtis HanGing the CurTains.

3. DVD PlaYer in the Durango.

BaRi-YuCK!!

"It's Pina Colada flavored"

5 Things I'd rather DriNk....

*

1. That Physo..drink to have a colonoscopy...

2. Home-made fountain drink from Sara at Golden Corral...

3. Alka-Seltzer...

4. Pepto-Bismal (upset stomach, diarrhea, indigestion...you know the song)...

5. Cough syrup (as much as I like the Tylenol with codeine side effects, sleepy sleepy (works well on the girls too when they are sick), it is NasTy)!!

I had to go in the other day for a CT scan and needed to drink this for prep 2 hours before. I've been having some problems (non-brain, can't help me with that) with my stomach (it just keeps growing, ha,ha). So I finally called the Doctor to help me out and hopefully this is the last test I will need to take..we shall see. It says to ShaKe well...Let me tell you...it does NOT work!! The PiNa-CoLada flavor does nothing for it either!! Don't bother holding your NoSe CloSed, you might stop breathing from GaGGinG! All in all, pray you will never need a CT on your

stom-yack, because that is what you will be doing!!!

1. Talking to my MOM...I Love You!
