I love this story - I hope my angels call me blessed! (watch the babies eyes blink)

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.' 

The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'

Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' and God replied, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.' 

'Who will protect me?' 
God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'

'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.' 


At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.' 

And God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Love Wild Life

Here are pictures of two birds.  The hawk was just sitting in a tree near my house and so I stopped to admire it and took a picture of it.  I think it looks so cool.  Then the Blue-Jay I actually heard screaming outside one day and when I went to see what all the noise was and it was pinned down by two cats (not mine) being tortured.  I rescued him and took him inside for he was in shock and his wing was hurt.  After I got him to calm down I took him out to see if he would fly but for about 20 minutes he just sat on my hand.  Then finally out of no where he took off (or she) and I followed... he/she went up to a nest where another blue-jay was sitting and joined his/her partner.  I felt so good that day and this picture will always be something to smile about. 

I love this picture

Hunter went to Aspen with his daddy for his half of spring break and this is one of the pictures that was taken.  I just love this picture.  The details of his face, his little freckles, his pretty blue eyes.  Just wanted to share!

Movie Night with the boys -

My boy is going camping this weekend with his daddy so I wanted to get in a date night with my boys before he if off.  We all voted on the movie "Ice Age" to watch.  Hunter got in his favorite comfy outfit (pj pants and sweat shirt) and then snuggled in with his favorite buddy (Milo).  As you can see Hunters face is a little red.  He had the day off from school Thursday for teacher/parent conference.  By the way the teacher says my little first grader is reading on 3rd grade level (Good job Hunter!) and is above average in math.  My little smarty pants.  So for the day off, daddy took him to the beach for the day and he got his first real sunburn.  He loves when mommy gives him massages so he asked me ever so sweetly to massage some sunburn relief cream all over his back.  

Easter Bunny Came to see us

Easter Bunny made a visit so I guess the rain wasn't an issue.  The prince woke up at 5:00 am to crawl in bed with us from having a bad dream. Tells me the Easter Bunny hasn't come yet (which he did prince was running into our room too fast to notice). He says to me "I thought I saw some white fur on the floor but it could have been cat hair."  Hilarious, because it must have been cat hair for I would have never thought to leave fur from the bunny.  Then he decides he can't go back to sleep and asked if he could go watch cartoons in his room.  So of course the answer is yes if it means I can continue to get what shut-eye I can these days.  So when he leaves the room I am thinking for sure he is going to see the basket now and so I count 5, 4, 3... waiting for the door to open back up with excitement that the Easter bunny came.  Nope!  Still he ran too fast back to his room to notice again.  Although it isn't because it is dark for I left the light on in the living room, but at the same time I am thinking "oh good, keep sleeping then". 

 

Then 6:00 am rolls around he is back in and tells me Easter Bunny came.  I said "okay let mommy have a few more minutes then I will get up."  He sweetly says "do you want me to come back in at 6:30?" I reply and at 6:30 exactly he comes back in and tells me he really wants me to come and see what the Easter Bunny brought him because he didn't want to mess it up until I saw it first.  I know very sweet, right?  So I get up and we go through it all and I take his picture and then there was no going back to bed.  He was very excited with his treats. 

At 11:30 am we attended a birthday party and then at 3:00 had Easter dinner at the Evans home.  So it was a very pleasant and fun filled Easter day for us.  

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter Day!!!
