Through a Window

Through a window she saw the world

People came and people went
To each one her love she sent
Many things she couldn't do
Like pick her nose or tie her shoe
The things she could, she did the best
The lives she touched she truly blessed
As children, she taught us how to knit,
reading, writing, arithmetic
As we got older, and times were rough
Her life lessons she shared with us
She always lent a listening ear
and in our hearts we hold her dear
She suffered pain and poor health
She lived for others and Not herself
There are no words to express our gratitude
Instead we will live our lives with her good attitude
Through a window she saw the world
Through a window she changed our world



In honor of our aunt, Linda, Cindy and I wrote that poem. Linda's funeral was held today in Springville, Utah. We were unable to go, but we wanted to do something to show Aunt Linda that we care, and to express how grateful we are for all that she is. We love you Aunt Linda and we are so happy for you, that you are now doing cartwheels in heaven!

Backseat Driver!

Lately Michael has been doing this thing where he sticks his hand out and yells "stop" whenever I am not listening to him, or getting after him about something. So, the other day, Michael and I are going to the store and I am singing along with the radio. He sticks his hand out and yells "Stop Mommy stop!" I quit singing. Again he sticks his hand out and yells "Stop Mommy stop!" "Too fast!" I then realize he wants me to stop the car. So I explain some traffic rules to him. ie stop at a red light go on a green light.

Now, whenever we come to a red light he tells me to stop. If the light is green he yells "go." I am trying to teach him how lights work when making turns. Because whenever I go to make a right turn at a red light he freaks out yelling "Stop Mommy, red light!"

Work Work Work

I think in my last posts I was looking for work. Well, as you may have guessed from my lack of posts, I found work. I am now working at an adult family home 2 24 hour shifts a week and tutoring at a middle school another 24 hours a week. So, I think that has been a good excuse for abandoning my blog.

Just recently I found that there is a wifi connection somewhere near my work, so in the evening when all the patients have gone to bed, I have been able to get online which has been awesome catching up with everyone on Facebook! Anyhow, since I realized this, I will start posting some stories about Michael again. As long as this person keeps their wifi unsecured.

Wishful Wednesday

I am getting back to blogging, I guess. To kick it off I will do a Wishful Wednesday then if I feel like it I will do a lil update, but most importantly I will be posting some more stories about Michael.

1. I have all the energy I need, to do anything I choose!

2. I have all the money I need, to do anything I choose! : )

3. I have all the time I need, to do anything I choose!

A day late

Happy Belated Birthday Cindy! I did sing to you on your voicemail yesterday, but I wanted to post a Happy Birthday post to you. Cindy turned 24 yesterday, I can't believe how old we are all getting. When we were kids all of my friends thought that she was a grown up trapped in a kids body. Now we think she is a kid trapped in a grown ups body. LOL

I love you Cindy and I hope you had a wonderful Birthday!
