The joys of being a girl


My little K is a funny and funny little girl. I love her and her sweet little personality so much. She has always been a girly girl, and the older she gets the more extreme it gets. She wants to have a princess party for her birthday, and she asked for "you know those little sandwiches mom, that are like triangles, but little triangles not the big ones and the crusts are cut of, you know those, I want those sandwiches. And hot chocolate for the tea, because we don't drink tea so I think hot chocolate. Oh, and pretty cupcakes." She is always looking for the prettiest things.

So, yesterday I went with my sister to ikea (aka mom Disneyland). When I came home I was flipping through the catalogue and K came to look too. We came to a page and I said, "Oh, there is the chandelier I want to get for your room when we move you and D." She informed me that wasn't a good picture, I agreed so we went to the computer to look it up.

I clicked on "bedrooms" and the first picture on the page had the chandelier in it. She saw it, and burst into tears. I held her and said, "It's okay, you don't have to have that light, and that is not what your room will look like."

She tearfully looked up and said, "It's already gone. Someone already bought it and put it in their house. See..." I laughed, gave her a big hug and explained there were hundreds of lights made and there would be enough for her.

Today she brought me some pennies she found. When I asked what they were for she said it was for the chandelier. Sweetly, D said he had a $3 for her too (I kinda got teared up at that). Needless to say, I think she will be getting a lighting feature for her birthday.


Oh, and can you guess the name of my new background. It's K.....girl. How appropriate (if only it had pink glitter).

Girly girls are so much fun. Well, I can do without the drama, but the other stuff is fun!! I laughed when she said someone else already bought it. So cute.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
