Thanks can never express it all

Every fiber of my being says thanks to my Father in Heaven for making my dream real...for being a wife, mom and grandma to some pretty wonderful people. I love you all and want you to know you bless my life, enrich my mind and make me smile. I am so glad you are ours and that you share, love and support each other. I have the best grandkids in the world, in case they forget. I have a guy who loves me know matter how witchy I get and I have an extended family that is part of who I am...sisters make the greatest friends. Thanks for the holiday week, Osolu's we wish you were here, our love and prayers are with you and we are excited to see Blake.
Thanks to my father who loves, forgives, blesses, provides and protects. I truly could not make it through a day wihtout the love of my Savior..I know I couldn't do it and I'm not to proud to ask for his help on behalf of our loved ones. The gospel brings me joy and peace and hope and knowledge...serving is the way I can tell my God thanks...so I will serve when and how I am asked to....becuase I love him and owe him all I'm blessed with. I love you all and hope you take a minute to read this. Love, mom and grandma

Hey Clar,

I changed some stuff on my blog and now it doesn't say when it's updated, do you know what I hit?

Thanks, Jess

Thanks for the update Amanda

I didn't get anyone called today-my brain cells quit functioning at 3:00 am and haven't come back yet-maybe some sleep tonight. My neighbors made it home, so no more sleepovers with sick kids, my other neighbor kids are spending the night on the air mattresses in the front room-their parents are struggling with schedules right now and I'm here so why not help out?
Did you beat Kaobe in monopoly? Is he ready to admit he knows me yet? When is your graduation date? We are all so excited for you...I was missing my grandkids and kids are the reunion, it was fun to see all the little ones playing, the place was huge with swings and an indoor tramp and bouncy castles-the kids would have loved all the mayhem.
Hug all for me, I love you, mom Dad will be here Monday-it's been a long haul this time, winter is tougher when he's not here-it's too many hours of being in the house alone...but I'm getting tons done.

Hola Familia

Hey Fam,
Haven't updated you for awhile, probably because there is not to much to update on! Everthing is going good, everyone is doing good and feeling good. Enjoying a nice quiet Saturday-just cleaned the house and caught up with some stuff. The girls are playing stuffies in their room, Kaobe's at a sleepover/bday party and won't be home for a few more hours and Obeta's hanging with me. I am feeling some major relief everyday closer I come to the end of school. We are all feeling it. We are so grateful for the experiences we've had-even all the tough ones. Can't wait to have my life back-better than it was before! So for any of you who think you can't do something tough-you so can!! Just ask me! Thank you so much for all of your support and your prayers and your calls-you guys have all been great! I'm off to get some ice cream for shakes-tonight is family game night and I'm prepared to woop Kaobe's butt at Monopoly! Love you all, Me

Halloween Memories

WOW!!! Yes I'm yelling, I had such a good time. The kids were hilarious and full of mischief as usual. I loved the notes, treats, tricks in my pillow, snowballs, laughing, and costumes. Thanks for the great meals, talks, the temple trip, seeing new places and revisiting old favorites. I have to say, Ty, Dr. Pepper and cards was interesting to say the least. The kids are growing up way too fast. I loved dressing up, trunk or treating-my first time, Dev's baptism and the opportunity to express my feelings. I have the most fantastic family ever. The house is too quiet after kids...
Again thanks family for a great trip. Love and hugs, mom
Sorry the rest of the crew couldn't be with us and that Law's had so much stress.

Hey Clar,
I did finally get a few quiet minutes to read your essay this morning. Sorry it wasn't sooner, but I thought it was very well written and I enjoyed hearing about your feelings. I know it's been a hard thing for you and Nate to deal with. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I know it isn't quite the same, but I think adoption could really bring you a lot of joy. If we only knew what Heavenly Father had in store for us life would be so much easier!
Love ya, Jess

Devin's Baptism

Here are a few pics from Devin's Baptism. Thank you for coming out and supporting Devin. This includes you, Nate and Clar for driving halfway and having the roads closed and I know that if the Osolu's were closer, they would have come too. It means a lot to me and my family that you support us! Devin was baptized by Phuc and confirmed by dad. I put more pics on my blog if you want to check them out!
