Valentines Day 2011

I woke up and went to work as usual. I walked into my classroom and my jaw dropped open. My mucho mucho nice hubby had pulled a fast one on me. As most of you know its pretty hard to pull a fast one on me..j/k

I walked into roses, and a huge heart balloon bouquet. Just a simple little note that told me he loved me. Awwwesome!!! Made my day.

Now that also made so many of the students days because I don't think they had seen such a huge balloon in the shape of a heart. They were amazed too.

I got to tell teachers and students that I was LoVEd!

I later cooked a dinner for our family and when we were eating, My hubby stood up and got something off the fridge. It was another hand written card. The mushy meaningful kind. I had my 2 sOn's watching me read it. It was so tender and so true, that I couldn't hold back the tears. I thought about what I had read, and I had a ThoUgHt pOp Into my HeaD. I made it throught the YeAr and I need to give mYseLf CreDit for that. And a lot of other LoVinG PeoPle tOo. What a year and my husband stills loves me and will always be by my side. He is so AmaZinG!!! Jason you are truly the BeSt example of love and compassion, loyal and non-judging. I am so lucky to have you in my LiFe!!!
Your the BeSt!

Yours Truly!

I want me a media console and I want me one now!!!

I am desperately looking for an old record player media console. I am willing to pay for this also. I just haven't seen one in a while. If you have one similar to this please let me know... I have tried 2 different pieces of furniture so far and none of them work.

Cabinets #1 Were about and inches in width to short for the Dish Network and Stereo.

Cabinet #2 I got all the things I wanted in it except for the stereo. I had just got done spending about 20 minutes moving all the wires around. I go to put it carefully into the shelf and it is about 1 inch to tall for the opening.

I am so bummed. I really want something to fit all the media stuff we have.
So if you see something on your daily travels at the D.I. or Yard Sale or someone you know....Beg them to let you buy it for me.. Becuase I'm awesome and I deserve it. I am willing to pay up to $50 or more dependng on the size and quality. I don't care about the color of the console, just that it is in great shape.

Edited: Yes I edited this post this morning. It appears I was unable to type or spell when I wrote this. Maybe to late at night, Hint Hint!!

We Must See Past What it Seems…..

I found this link (click here) off a friends blog and was touched by it.
You must read it and pass it along.
There are so many important lessons to get out of this!!
We must look beyond the part we think is so obvious. I have to think that we ALL have a sign!
What are your thoughts on this? Please share?

Big Dork Fish

Jackson caught this BiG FiSh out at the Coral Canyon Pond. It was in October I believe.
It was a real whopper. An old man was watching him and he said here lets measure this baby and see how big it is. Hence the measuring tape. Almost 19 inches long, and that is after its tail and nose had been nubbed off due to rubbing on the sides of the pond walls.

Bowl ole' Cereal

Okay so Parker loves his Frosted Flakes.

As I was sitting on the couch I turned and looked to see what he was eating. This is what I saw. I laughed so hard inside I could have died. Seriously, a metal bowl full of cereal. I wonder if he was full when he was all done? Shhh! He doesn't know I put this on my blog..lol Let's keep it our little secret okay.
If you see this Parker, I'm so sorry, but I couldn't help it!!!

Ever seen a Planter Wart?

I know this is so gross, but its for real. My child really got one of these, and it is so unique to look at.... It is so crazy to see it up close. Its a perfect circle. It is about the size of a pencil eraser. I told my child that it was gonna fall out and leave a huge indent, and my child's eyes got bigger than you can believe. I hope in the next week or so it will be totally gone. No more Planter Wart! I hope!

Flood 2010

We had an amazing flood this Christmas Break. It rained for several days straight. This is a picture of the Virgin River down where the kids usually Skim Board. It gave us complete chills to listen and watch Mother Nature!!

SNOW

Jackson is loving the snow today. We woke up to several inches of snow in our area. Jackson, Jake and Austin are building a igloo at The Brown's House.

Please Read This!!

I read this over at Mandi's Vintage Revival Blog. I am posting it here, and have added the link to Jessica's Blog too. Please pray for this little girl and her family.

They found out yesterday that their 4 year old daughter has Stage 4 cancer. They are at Primary Childrens right now preparing to operate. Get on your knees and pray for Jessica and her parents, and while you are there thank Heavenly Father for your sweet babies. I know with all my heart that the Lord hears our prayers so please pray for this beautiful family.

This was the email I recieved.

Hey Vera,

PLEASE PASS ON....

Bob has been making calls to the Elders in the ward to call all their home teaching families, and start praying for the Schmitt family. He is also letting the Elder's Quorum know that they will be having a fast as a Quorum on Sunday and anyone else who can participate would be great.


Here is the update. We just spoke with Chandra's family and things are pretty bad. Jessica was complaining of a side ache for a couple of days and when the pain intensified today, they took her in this morning to the doctor. She has been having tests done all day and the doctors here confirmed that she had STAGE 4 cancer. The tumor size in her liver was bigger than her heart. It is pushing into the lungs. Stage 4 means it has gone from one organ into another. Cody and Chandra are flying to Primary Children's tonight and they are going to run tests on Jessica all night. In the morning she will be having surgery to remove the tumor. Chandra's family said the doctors said they would be there at least a month. Right now the best thing we can do is pray that her little body will do good in surgery tomorrow morning.

Please keep all of the Schmitts in your prayers.

We will keep you updated. Cody is keeping in touch with Bob.

Thank You
Becky Burns
