I LAG!!!!!

Okay so I suck at keeping up with my blog so sue me!  If you must know I have been somewhat on the cripple side. I fell asleep on my right arm & froze the muscles. I could not move my arm for a about a week. It was terrible. I could not hold Landon (who by the way is growing toooooo dang fast)  I could not get dressed by myself nor do anything else. I still can't raise it above my head but I am not in pain anymore so that's a good thing... I must say though there was a lesson that was taught to me during all this & that is I have taken for granted how much my hands, feet, eyes, fingers MY WHOLE BODY means to me.. I mean I know it's a wonderful gift from God but seriously how many of us get down on our knees & thank Heavenly Father for our bodies. You don't realize how much you miss something (such as a vital working organ in  your body) till it's gone. Another thing I learned while being in bed & very motionless is that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Here I was moaning & complaining about my dumb arm when a dear friend of mine sister's  husband fell 30 ft up from a tree & shattered both ankles & broke his back.. & also I might mention his wife (my friend's sister) gave birth to their 4th child the day after.  Here is this person that just gave birth & has a husband that is on bed rest for who knows how long & I'm complaining about a dumb arm & the most humble thing about it is that I KNOW my friend's sister is not complaining cause it's not her personality (if you knew the family you would know what I am talking about)  

So, I guess this post is dedicated in a way to my friend & to the rest of her family... You guys are awesome! I love you all & it frustrates me knowing that I can't help out... I would love to be there to help  any way I can.  My prayers go out to you!

You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream!

Who said you can't buy ice cream with flowers? Apparently Emma thinks so & she & her best friend Peyton did. Yesterday Emma came running in the house asking me for money. When I told her I had none I heard her ask her dad. She was denied by him as well. The next thing I know she is armed with candy. When I asked her how she paid for it she said, "I paid the lady with flowers mom." Smart girl. :) Today however another ice cream truck came by but this time Emma was not so lucky to pay with flowers. Oh well maybe next time & maybe next time I'll send her with a huge bouquet so we can get a whole truck load of yummy treats!!! :)
