Hand Bag Happiness

Here is my cute handbag I finished today. I cant wait to use it tomorrow when I go shopping. How stylish I'll be. I should make one for Mirand so we match. Tee-hee. Of course she would have to have one in pink.

Cast Off, Horray

Yipee. Miranda got her cast off. She had such a great attitude about having to be in a cast. She is still weak and has to get her leg muscles stronger. She starts therapy on Tuesday. She has graduated to a walker for school but still is not walking or putting weight on her leg.

"I'm so dizzy me head is spinning"

Miranda is finding new ways to entertain herself with her broken leg. She can get going pretty fast with her spin. Hey at least shes happy right. It takes alot to keep this girl down. 3 more days and I hope were done.

Wallace Tether Ball Champ

This is my brothers dog playing tetherball. I'm sorry for how many times I say it's hysterical, but it is. You can also hear my brother telling his stories in the background. (he always has good stories). We had so much fun n our trip to Utah this summer. Miranda asked to go to Utah on sunday. She said "I miss Uncle mike and my cousins". I'm so glad she will have memories of family fun.

Lady Bug Wishes

I have been trying to think of a name for my website and i'm leaning towards something with either lady bugs or bees, beehives in it. I had some pics of Miranda in her lady bug dress that I made and I was messing around with photoshop. there is so much I don't know how to do yet. I am trying to learn more about website design and about graphic design so here is one of my pieces. I added the lady bug and the effects. I like how artsy it looks. What do you think. Do you have any photo editing tools you like to use?

Born in the wrong time.

I always thought I was born in the wrong era. As for Joe maybe he should stay in the here and now. I may have to tweek his a bit more.

Lurking for new friends

I have been lurking around various blogs today. so many neat and wonderful stories. I even found a women who also had her child break their leg on the trampoline. same place as Miranda did just before school started I told you trampolines are evil. (click link to see more proof)
 I found some great up-cycling(http://theoldpaintedcottage.blogspot.com/) and some inspirational blogs as well. They are each on my blog list to follow. Ive also decided I need a fairy godmother. any volunteers?

Happy Birthday Hubby

Birthday Cakes from WiddlyTinks.com


I have to wish my sweet hubby a happy birthday. I always tease him about how much older he is than me. But I have to admit he has been through stages of life I have yet to experience and he shows me how to get through them. He also teases me that I am going to be the one in the wheel chair and he will push me. I don't care whos pushing who as long as we are together pushing each other to keep going and to be strong. Your my rock Joe. I love you!

Computer Overdose

I am Addicted to my new computer. I know the floors need cleaning and the toilet has that lovely line that is going to reach up and grab me next time I sit down. But I can't help it. I honestly got on the computer at noon just to get my bills and budget updated. It is now 9pm and I still am on this drug with a keyboard and I am getting the deer in the headlight stare from looking at the screen too long. Hey didn't I have a child I was supposed to care for today? (I did feed her). well I may have to ground myself from this evil device tomorrow and hide the "crackberry" too. But at least my blog looks cute and my Ipod is full of great music and even some books. Don't they have support groups for this. Oh yeah thats what Relief Society is for. Talk about inspiration. Tee-Hee.

Miranda saying of the day

While coming out of school. Miranda dramatically places the back of her hand on her forehead and says" I had so much fun at school today I have a headache". Oh the trials of a 5 year old.

10 Years and Counting

I am so proud of lil family. This week Joe and I celebrated 10 years together.

I tease that our secret to staying together so long is that he travels so much its more like 2 years together. But seriously he is missed when he is not home and we wish we could live closer so we can be together more often. I do want to be sure to share how thankful I am for being blessed with a loving sweet husband who takes his role as a provider very seriously and works so hard to help others as well. Thank You Joe. Your loved more than you know and I hope I can be better at conveying that to you.
