April ,2011 ......let's see what happened?

As everyone knows sometimes I forget things....no laughing from the peanut gallery!! I know that Vana had a b'day on the 7th.....Solae' and Eric had a reception in Wheatland, WY. and it was Erics b'day on the 16th...welcome to the family Eric! Then what? wow I'm struggling, that's what I get for putting this off...Ok so everyone knows I love to take pictures welllll I found this picture of Vana's b'day and I remembered that I asked Ivie to make this cake for Vana, I had seen it in a magazine and it was lovely and she did a good job on it! This is why I take pictures!

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 the kids to scout camp. I want there to be a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.

I love this quote it shows what life is really all about! I know I've had my share of sticky hands touching me, kids piled in the our favorite van....old blue...may he rest in peace!! But really I wouldn't have it any other way...some peoples eyes get big when I say we have 10 kids but I would not send anyone of them back. They make me laugh, cry, and ok I will admit even wanting to pull my hair out sometimes but hay I'm growing up...I'm more patient now and I love to see what life brings their way, how they are raising their children and believe it or not they still teach me a lot and make laugh and yes even make me cry cos I love them little buggers!!
