My Thoughtful Spot

I really really want this!!

I love pogo, I love pink and I love travel mugs. Bling is good too. It's the perfect mug for me. I want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

came to our house! he doesn't much like the camera tho (unusual for a superhero, no?) so this is the best I've got.

Happy Boxing Day!

yeah, there's a few bodies and a butt in the pic... lol... but it does show the living room nicely.. haha

Keyley couldn't wait to get her teeth on her toy!

Horsez!

Cabbage Patch Kid... Jamie Reyna no less.

Boxing Gloves. His sister is gonna bear the brunt of these. LOL

Ben loved his christmas eve pajamas and James was just plain happy with his stocking this morning.

Merry christmas! More pics to follow later I'm sure.

Last night I dreamed Percy was still here with us. Today I miss her so much. yes, she was "just" a dog, but she was one of the loyalist friends I've ever had. 13 yrs is a long time to share your life and heart with someone, even if its' "just a dog".

You're missed Perc. More than anyone knows.

I am in love with this song, despite that it makes me cry!

Grandma spilled some water
When she fed the Christmas tree
She said her eyes were blurry
But she'd been crying seemed to me
'Cause of all the gifts God gave us
One's no longer here
You see, Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

So you might hear an angel singing now
A little bit off-key
But Grandma says his shirts stay white
And his skin is wrinkle free
And when Jesus opens this one
She says Heaven's gonna cheer
Because Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

Grandpa loved the snow
Because he loved the snowball fight
And Grandma says that Jesus knows
What He got Himself alright

Grandma said the reason
We didn't get much snow down here
Is that Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

So you might hear an angel singing now
A little bit off-key
But Grandma says his shirts stay white
And his skin is wrinkle free
And when Jesus opens this one
She says Heaven's gonna cheer
Because Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

Now someone else is gonna wear
the cotton-ball beard
I remember he used shaving cream
Instead of it one year

And Grandma says that Jesus gives
Everything we pray
So us kids got together
and asked if Grandpa had to stay

So you might hear an angel singing now
A little bit off-key
But Grandma says his shirts stay white
And his skin is wrinkle free
And when Jesus opens this one
She says Heaven's gonna cheer
Because Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

In memory of my dad, 1925 - 2006. Our second Christmas without him is pretty much as hard as the first.

I thought this was cute, tho I need to move that couch to do some *real* christmas pictures.

The smile is better in this pic, tho it's a little darker

I'm going shopping this afternoon with my cousin Lisa. She informed me this morning that I'm NOT to spend my day making a list of ways to embarass her. so. I'm not. Making a list that is. But I can't help it if things just pop into my head can I? Like visiting Santa. I know she'd just love to have me sit on Santa's lap. I wonder if she'd take a picture? haha. I doubt it, but I could be wrong.

She told me I can't wear my halo hat (something about hypocritical? LOL) so this morning I met her at the door with Katie's christmas cowboy hat on. Nope. Not that either. I'm considering getting Ben's sombrero. What are my chances do you suppose?

I'm going to miss her so much. She's only here for the school year and I'm enjoying it so much. Having her girls every morning is a pile of fun too!

Back to cleaning and letting my fertile imagination go off wandering. It'll come back. It always does!

This is who kept making me smile this afternoon. Everytime I aimed the camera at him he'd look at me, smile and then he had to giggle. he just couldn't contain himself. He's just SO cute!
