MaMa Jan...

Well... If this doesn't have Mama's name written all over it! (No pun intended!!!)
A few months ago my BF Alicia (aka, Sister) went to Provo ti visit Mama Jan's grave. When we got to the site there was nothing but a tiny piece of plastic that simply said her name, birthday and the day she died. It was hard to swallow, She was so incredible and we needed a "Headstone" that would stand out like no other.
As we left the cemetery Alicia and I decided to go "shopping" but not the kind of "shopping" we normally do. We were in search of the perfect headstone. P.S. Not the best "shopping therapy" but we made the best of it!!!
We walked into the little empty place full of granite, cement, dirty bathroom, filthy men, huge dogs, etc. I have to admit, it was pretty intimidating at first. Like so many other "Ma & Pa shops" the first impression was so far off! After lot's of looking and explaining to the amazing man that worked there, Brett. We figured it out!!! With a little money (Pun intended) a drawing, and all the necessary items... OUR creation was ready and in place for Memorial Day!!!
I know she LOVES it. I could feel her with us the day we picked it.
For such an emotional task, She held our hands and told us what she wanted.

To Mama,
I think about you every day. I love the bond that we developed and I will forever cherish it. Thank you for bringing me and Alicia back together and assisting us to be each others BEST FOREVER FRIENDS. I know you know but... She is doing AMAZING things for everyone. I love you to the moon & back. Don't forget to "keep" poppin' in on My little Family.

Alicia,
Thank you for being THE BEST FRIEND I could ask for. I love you more then you'll ever understand. Thank you for always standing by me. Even when you don't agree with things I do...you are there and I know you will catch me if I fall!

I love you to the Moon & Back...FOREVER!!!

It's Wednesday AGAIN?

I'm so thankful today is "Wordless Wednesday"... I have SO much to say but no vocabulary!

~ENJOY~

It's.......WORDLESS Wednesday!!!

My Prayer...

Thank you God for the Children of mine,

Who teach me things that blow my mind.

They entertain themselves in the funniest ways,

I pray the innocence they possess NEVER goes away.

I pray they will grow up and be smart

And I pray that they will NEVER grow apart.

I pray that they will call home,

Whenever they are near a phone.

I pray that they NEVER feel alone.

I hope they turn to you thru guidance and prayer

And know that YOU & their Parents

Will ALWAYS be there.

It's Wordless Wednesday!!!

My Mama!

I am writing a little tribute to my Mama! For Mothers Day...? Because She has been faced with a small trial...? Because I think the WORLD of her...? Because She is my BEST Friend...? OR Because She is an AMAZING Grandma...? The answer: ALL THE ABOVE!!!

My Mom is a never ending song in my heart of comfort, happiness & being. Sometimes I forget the words but, I'll ALWAYS remember the tune!

I want to tell you some things about my Mom that I think are the most SPECIAL! Also, I have added some of my FAVORITE pictures of Her & of coarse... ME & HER!!!

So... Sit back, relax and ENJOY the ride!!!

She is ABSOLUTELY breath taking!

It is the BEST compliment when people say to me

"You look just like your Mom."

The love she has for the MOUNTAINS & OCEAN are incredible.

Her heart is BIGGER than this pancake!

Her love for horses (actually ANY animal) is the sweetest.

They are ALL her babies.

She is my BEST FRIEND.

She would give you the shirt off her back, a cold beer,

her last $dollar or WHATEVER you desired.

She loves me for me & doesn't judge the bad things I do too harshly ;)

She is an AMAZING cook and has taught me everything I need to know, to cook just like her.

She will come with me wherever I go & EVERYONE loves her.

She has taught me so much. From being a Mom, a Wife, a good House Keeper, a Cook, but... most of all she has taught me right from wrong and how to be a better person.

She is my ROCK!!!

She'll pick me up, dust me off, hold me while I cry, then put me back on my feet.

She is a GREAT Wife.

My Dad & Her make the CUTEST Couple!!!

Just when she thought her work was done...

She became a Grandma at 44 years young, AND

just like EVERYTHING else... she has MASTERED it!

Even the Grand kids that aren't hers think she's the bomb.

She SPOILS the crap out of EACH of my Boy's

BUT... She never plays favorites.

Her love for life is apparent to everyone she meets!

Without Her, my Boys would miss so many FUN things.

She is someone who dreams great dreams for me,

but she lets me chase my own dreams
and still loves me the same!

I had to add this picture because it's one of her FAVORITES!!!

I added a few songs to my play-list that remind me of my MOM!

#1: The Wind Beneath My Wings.

#2: Nothing Compares TO You.

#3: Your The Inspiration.

#4:Have I told you lately.

#5: Hero.

"I love you FOREVER, I'll like you for ALWAYS,

as long as I'm living my Mommy you'll be!"
