One of the great things about driving to OKC is going through Groom Texas and seeing this beautiful cross. The largest in the northern hemisphere. Amazing!

Wednesday we drove to Oklahoma City to attend Bruce's Uncle Bob's funeral. What a great man. It was so neat to hear his grandsons talk of how much they loved him and how special he was to them. I will always remember that he loved moms pecan brittle and every year at Christmas she would make him a full batch of his own. How blessed we were to know him.

Such a wonderful day. So many joys in the Easter celebration.

It was so beautiful out today. We spent most of the afternoon out working in the yard, mowing, planting flowers, cleaning the pool (Jonas will be thrilled, he keeps asking to swim). Felt good.

This little guy crashed into the window and Bruce rescued him. After sitting on the window seal for prally 30 min. he flew off.

Today I finshed the most amazing book. "Heaven is for Real" I am not a big reader, but this is one you can't put down. As it said in the book it gives you a whole different way to look at heaven. It opens your eyes and helps to visual what heaven will be like. I love looking through the eyes of a child, innocent and pure, no questions. I highly recomend this book, trust me you will grow from it.

I know I am full of pictures of the g-kids and plants and flowers and friends, but right now I just need to talk.
Today has been one of my hardest days without my mom. Nothing special about this day, but I have been in tears nearly all day.
I just miss her so very much. Our 10:00 phone calls are so hard to get past. Being here for b-days, Easter, she was just always here.
I just can't call her and tell her of my day, of my joys, frustrations, questions, and sorrows.
I need you mom. I want you here to share, to talk of survivor and amazing race.
I relive that night many a time, and just wanna go back one more day with you.
I miss you, I love you, and never regret who we were together.
I will always keep you close to my heart.
Rest well mom, and as the song said "I will remember you"

Today was 5 months without my mom, and not only that but it would have been mom and daddy's 56th wedding anniversary. I can't begin to tell you how much I miss her. I long to talk to her again, to hear her voice, to tell her so much. I love you mom and will always miss and love you.

Tamara finally did it. She grew her hair the required 10" and had it cut yesterday and donated it to Locks of Love. What a change in hair styles, but isn't it cute. I love it!! (but Tamara has never in my mind had a bad haircut)

Sunday night at church, it was so cute to see Amaya going to Jeanette Adams during church and sitting with her. The older shall teach the young.

Jake is so adorable, he was just singing away. He has heart of gold.

Amaya and Jeremiah had such a great time playing today. Pope boys were at school, and Maddox was getting tubes in his ears, so it was just gamma and the little ones. Did I mention how much fun they are!!!!!

One of these things is not like the other, one of these does not belong.
