A conversation with my 4 year old son.

He quotes a song from the Bare Naked Ladies album "Snacktime" by saying "give me some spinny rides and a plate of salmon and I am a happy man". There is no conversation after that, it is only laughing.

A hopeful conversation with my 18 year old daughter.

If you are reading this blog, don't be stingy, send me some dang photos. How long have I been asking you? At least 10 times since September 10. I would like to put some photos of you on this blog so can you help me out?

A conversation with my 5 year old daughter.

I brought my Christmas music into the van today. I miss it all year round so I start early. I had Sarah McLaughan's album "Wintersong" in the player as we drove to Red Robin for dinner. One of my fav's "Noel" was playing and I turned it real loud - she sings it in such a powerful way. Goldie was upset with Jude because he was howling like a dog. I got upset too so he agreed to be quiet until the song was over. We pulled into Red Robin and I turned the van off. I opened the door to get the kids out and Goldie had been crying. I said "why are you crying?" she said "that was a beautiful song and I really liked it". I said "how did the song make you feel?" She said as she wiped away her tears "I feel happy inside and proud of Jesus".

That was one of the happiest moments of my life.

If I ever aspire to be anything...let it be a mother who teaches her children of God's love and his son, Jesus Christ.

Amen

The Love Revolution

Lenny Kravitz on his Love Revolution tour decided to stop in Kelowna. I loved the concert - he has so much soul. I had to buy one of his t-shirts. What a treat.


Me and my hubby sharing some love.

Halloween

Hannah Montana had a date with Darth Vader.



The pumpkins they carved. Wondering why they are laughing to hard? Daddy is pretending to fart on my head while I take the picture. Good grief.

Gals Getaway

Me and some of my gal pals entering West Edmonton Mall.

Can't leave without goin on the coaster.

Madonna

It was really neat to see Madonna - I was a big fan in my younger years.



Jumpin at Madonna with good friends and a great hubby.

The Men in my Life

I bought Jude a shirt and tie. He wants to wear them at least once or twice a week. We have to call him one of two things - "office boy" or "Wade".

It is true - she is growing up too fast

Goldie's first loose tooth.

Madame Hemmingway and her Kindergarten Class. Adorable.

Helping Hands

I volunteered at my church to help the planning committee for a Woman's Retreat. I volunteered at the church kiosk to hand out brochures and brought Goldie along. She told me that we were going to need a lot of pens because we were going to have a lot of customers. She is great.

King Harold the Pumpkin

Goldie and I spent an afternoon at Michael's craft store creating Harold. She entered him in a contest but was not the winner. Notice the gold tooth.
