Things I have learned.

I've Learned That:
* Somethings you do in an instant, Can give you heartache for
Lifetime.
* It's taken me a long time to become the person I want to be.
* You can keep going even after you can't.
* The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
* We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
* Regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
When the lust fades there had better be something else in it's place.
* Hero's are people who do what needs to be done, regardless of the
consequences.
* Money is a lousy way of keeping score.
* My husband and I can do anything or nothing and still have the
best time.
* Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
* Maturity has more to do with what you've learned from life
experiences and less to do with how many Birthday's you've
celebrated.
* You're family wont always be there for you,Sometimes it takes a
complete stranger to show you compassion.
* Our past and life circumstances may influence who we are but only
we are responsible for who we become.
* You shouldn't be so eager to know everything, What you find out
could change your life forever.
* just because 2 people argue, doesn't mean they don't love each
other. Just because they don't argue doesn't mean they do.
* Your life can change in a moment by someone you've never even
met.

Random Thoughts

I feel so big This week, The baby is very high and when he stretches out I feel like he is climbing out of my throat.
I have been having contractions for the last few weeks which really freaks people out but I get dehydrated very easily and that among other things send me into false labor. This is my forth baby and I have dilated early for all of them, so I am not worried.

As it is getting closer and closer to Birth Day, I am slowly trying to get everything together that we need for the babies arrival. After Grace ,we
Gave away or tossed out all of our big items like the swing, high chair, bouncy etc It was all outdated and worn out. Most was broken or just didn't work any longer. Well They did go through a lot with our first three children and were also borrowed out to friends and family.
I am just going to buy what I really need, ( Everything is so cute that it is hard to not get it all ) David wants to buy everything and I just can't see spending that much. If this was are first child I could justify the price because you know it will be used many more times, But this is our forth and I just can't do it. ( David Say's in his awful baby voice: poor baby bean, his Momma wont buy him a new swing ) AR AR AR! Not funny!

On a different note: I spoke with my Grandfather recently ( long pause ) exhale. This is such a hard situation. My Grandmother is in the hospital and has had a lot of health issue's lately, I Have not seen them both in quite sometime and I just wanted them to know that I was thinking of them both and Love them very much. Speaking to him reminded me that You don't have to be apart of someones everyday life to have love for them. You don't even have to be able to explain why you love them. you Love them just because you do! Sometimes it really is OK to just step back and say, I just need a break from everything that's going on and it's OK to not always make the right decision or do the smartest thing. People that Love you will Love you regardless of what other's say or any error's in judgement I might make. You can't force yourself to Love right? either there's Love or there isn't I guess it really is that simple.
It was a very nice conversation. My Grandparents are good people and they have always been kind to me my whole life no matter what ( and to my Husband and children ) I will always have nothing but Love and respect for them both.

Grace's 3rd Birthday.








Grace's Birthday was so much fun and busy busy. For months she has been telling everyone that will listen, that her birthday is coming up and she is going to build a bear. So you can only imagine how excited she was the morning of her birthday.
She woke up and came into my room. ( I pretended to still be sleeping ),
She climbed up on the bed and pried open my eyes and said Good Morning Mommy, today is my Birthday! I tell her she is the most beautiful 3 year old I have ever seen.
****Here are some pictures of Grace at build a bear and A video of her birthday cake. The cake started out as a beautiful ice cream cake with blue frosting and colored balloons ( as Grace requested and picked out.) Well I guess when I put the cake in the deep freezer the big bag of ice also in the freezer prevented it from closing all the way. Thank goodness the cake wasn't ruined but it was quite a bit shorter and we had to use a spoon to eat it but Grace loved it and never even noticed the difference.

We just chucked it up to one of those things that happen and we will look back on and laugh. Today will be a memorable one , Now for many reasons.

Happy Birthday Big Girl!
