My Smiles

These are my babies...some not so little anymore.

Allison is 10 and into fashion and music.
Caden is 4 and into video games, and his 4-wheelers.
Alexis is 3 months and is perfect in everyway. Well, she could start sleeping through the night, but other then that. ;)

These three kids are what keep me going, keep me sane, keep me laughing, and keep me in a constant supply of hugs.

I wouldn't be able to smile without them and I thank Heavenly Father everyday for allowing them to be in my life.

Baby Mine

Baby mine, don't you cry

Baby mine, dry your eyes

Rest your head close to my heart

Never to part,

baby of mine

Little one, when you play

Don't you mind what they say

Let those eyes sparkle and shine

Never a tear,

baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you

They'd end up loving you too

All those same people who scold you

What they'd give just for the right to hold you

From your head down to your toes

You're not much, goodness knows

But you're so precious to me

Sure as can be,

baby of mine

Breaking Dawn *SPOILER ALERT*

In celebration of Breaking Dawn I have assembled a mosaic...listed below are the nine topics that I thought stood out...minus the Jacob chapters.

1- Breaking Dawn
2- Wedding
3- Honeymoon
4- Pregnant
5- Transformation
6- New Life/Hunting
7- The Kid
8- Protective Sheild
9- Family

I don't want to post anymore spoilers on this page, but I'll leave my thoughts on the book in the comments section of this post.

Patience

Patience is not something I've ever been good at. I hate waiting...so what have I done to myself? Instead of just driving to the nearest store and picking up a copy of Breaking Dawn Saturday morning...I pre-ordered it. Not only did I pre-order it, but I didn't want to pay the extra $12 for express shipping. So here I am...3 days after it's release and I still don't have my book. I'm dying here. I grabbed Eclipse and I'm reading that to refresh my memory and to help me through this waiting period, but I think it's just making me more anxious.

Today was the first day I've been out and about since the book came out and the first place I went...Dr's office...3 ladies had the book. THREE. It was all I could do to sit in my chair and read Eclipse.

So here's to hoping that Mr. UPS Man brings me my Breaking Dawn book tomorrow.

Cheers.
