Missing Summer Time!
These are some pictures from last summer. I thought they would cheer me up, but they are just making me wish summer would come faster! It is fun to see how much the kids have grown up. I can't wait to compare pictures we take this summer.

Ummmmm.........DUH!

I am baffled by how impossible it is for me to figure out how all of you have such cute blogs. I have searched under the heading " blog templates" and I can't find anything like what all of you have. You know...the cutsie, scrap booking type of layouts.

So, I am asking for anyone to please give me a link to a web site where I can go to download layouts to make my blog cute. Help the retard....please!

10 Things you may not know about me ( tagged=)
1. I love to make cakes! I am not a professional and I am not very good at cakes that have to be perfect, like wedding cakes. I like to make fun ones like giant hamburgers or theme cakes for Halloween or Easter. I also like to eat them. That is no big surprise!

2. I love to travel. I have been to the Bahamas, Hawaii, all the United States except for 7 and every Canadian province. I would love to visit Italy, Finland, France and Egypt.

3.I am a walking freak of nature! If there can be something wrong with me.....there is. I have extra ankle bones, scoliosis ( curvature of the spine), I had extra tubes running from my kidney's to my bladder, fluid behind my knees that cause cysts, I have a blood clot disorder, asthma......shall I continue? This could go on forever! I sound like a hypochondriac!

4. I am not wanted in Heaven......yet. How do I know this? I have had many close encounters with death and yet I am still here. I have fallen off the side of a mountain while riding a 4-wheeler....crash and burn ( literally), too many car accidents to count, and survived a pulmonary embolism ( 99% of all people die from this).

5. I used to be athletic. Go figure. You wouldn't know it to look at me, but I used to love to play many sports. Cross country, track & field, basketball, volleyball, swimming, softball......you name it, I loved it!

6. Something that scares me to death, but I have always wanted to do.......sky dive. I am totally scared of heights!

7. I have a crush on my husband. Shhhhh, don't tell him!

8. I love crafts! Everybody knows how much I love to scrapbook, but I have other hobbies I like to do. Cross stitch, glass etching, jewelry making. I will try anything new too.

9. I am a hypocrite of sorts. I have never cared much what other people think of me. I learned at a very young age that people are judgmental and that if I wanted to succeed in life and be happy doing it, I couldn't let other people's judgements affect me. However when it comes to judging...I am my worst critic. I can find a million things I wish I could change about me. I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others.

10. I have insanely crazy dreams. My husband won't even let me tell him about my dreams anymore because they are so off the wall crazy. He says no one can have dreams like that and be normal. Well, I have never claimed to be normal.....and I love being nutso!

I am going to tag my siblings....Karma, Kasson, and Kendra, in the hopes that they will start a blog of their own.

Apologies!!!

I would like to reassure everyone ( especially those whose children I watched last week) that all is well! I know that reading my last blog probably made some people feel bad that I had a very busy week.
I want to apologize if it sounded like I did not like the kids I was watching. SO NOT THE CASE!!!!
Like I said before, I love kids. They are all adorable to me. Even when they are crying. I just love to hold them and cuddle and see their little smiles. Last week just didn't have too many of those moments. BUT....like I said, the kids got used to being around each other and the days got easier.

Oh yea, And a big apology For making the healthy kids sick. I am going to have to quarantine my house. Oh heck, I think I will just move to a new, germ free house! Now that spring is here, hopefully all those colds are gone!

Thanks for putting up with my complaining. Just ignore me!
