To the Bahamas... Any takers??? I am so so sick of the cold I just want to bask in the glory Of the sunshine... I am so tiered of the snow and ice and cold . I just want to wear short sleeves and cute shoes.... I am so ready to be done with this cold weather.

So if you could go any wear right now were would you go?

911

911- Hello this is so and so what is your Emergency

Me- My 3 year old is lost in the forest beside my house.

911 what is your little boys Name

Me Benjamin

911- What was he wearing?

Me -His Yellow and blue snow suit his coat oh my goodness I cant remember what coat he is wearing.

911-Dose he have a hat on

Me -I don't know Oh my goodness I don't know if he has his mittens on. Oh no he must be cold

911-what is his hair color

Me- He is blond with big blue eyes

911-I am going to disconnect you and call dispatch. We will be calling you right back whats your name ?

Me- Jennifer sob sob sob

911-it's OK we are going to find him.

The scariest phone conversation I ever had.
While I was talking to 911 my neighbor took off to the highway where the forest leads out she saw a snow dump guy and asked if he happend to see a little boy in a bright Yellow jacket. He said ya he is over by the big piles of snow where they take all the snow from the city street. She said oh my goodness drove over there and begun to yell his name he was just watching the dump trucks dump the snow. She said thank goodness for his Yellow coat or she would have never saw him and he would have never heard her over the noise.
While this was going on I had mylissa go and get some of the other neighbors too look for him. My neighbors Van rolled up just as the policeman got there we were all so relieved to see Ben . We just started crying. It was so scary. The police man told me they had all the firemen Policemen search and rescue all on there way to come look for Ben. I was so touched and amazed at how serious the took a call of a missing child. The police man was so reassuring that it was alright and that I did the right thing calling 911. He said you just never know with him being lost in the forest because of the wild life and just the weather in general.
I asked my neighbor if Ben was scared. She said no He just looked at me and said Iam just trying to find my friends. He had no clue all this drama was unfolding at home.
What happened was Ben saw that his little friend went home and started to fallow him then took a wrong turn we guess. The older kids noticed Ben and Marty were missing so they went home to make sure they were OK. When they got back they saw Marty and not Ben So they came and got me so we kept calling his name know he could not be far. After about 20mins I got scared I looked at my neighbor and said I am calling 911..
I am so glad this had the ending it did I am so glad that Heavenly Father hears and answers are prayers and I am Very grateful for the Palmer police department ready and able to find a missing child with out a second thought..
On a funny note everyone kept saying don't get too mad at him don't punish him. I said I am not mad at all I am so relived that he is OK I could not even think of Yelling at him or anyone else. Garrett said good Because I thought I would be grounded for letting Ben go with us in the forest. I just looked at him and smiled and said you did the right thing letting us know that Ben was missing. Who knows what could have happened if you just continued to play..

Nuffing Mom

Just to let you know this is not ET it is my Benjamin. This is how he came to me yesterday repeating nuffing mom nuffing mom. I said Ben what did you do . He often says nuffing mom when he is in trouble. I then saw blood seeping thrue the shirt he had on his head. I said Ben what did you did he repeated again i did nuffing mom. I pulled his shirt down and saw a fine gouge about three inches long on his head. I asked him again what he had done he showed me the sharp scissors that I use to cut the kids hair with. He then told me he was cutting his already shaved hair. Hummm.

I said Ben you are bleeding. He said I am . I then showed him the cut he said Mom I did nuffing..

I know you are dying to Know What I got for My Anniversary!!!

OK I am just kidding I know you all aren't dying to know How my Valentine Anniversary went but I am going to tell you all anyways.. It started out as any other day we said I love you when we woke up I gave Dale his gifts A grinder and a watch.. Then He went to go get my gifts. He gave me some new gloves so cute..

He also got me a beautiful Mirror for my bed room and a nice new shirt and a yummy box of trufffels. Then he had to go to school I was a little bummed I kinda wanted to go out to eat and do something romantic. Before he left he asked me if I wanted to go to a late move I said that would be fun. He then said for me to make sure I was dressed cute..I kinda then new he had something up his sleeve.

So I took a shower dress up cute and was on my way to meet him at his school. He then stated driving in the total optiset direction. I told him the gig was up where were we going we ended up at a nice restaurant That we cant remember the name it had garden in it.. It was good it was like a french country grill. We then went home. When I got home there were rose petals all over my floor and candles lit all over my bed room it was very Romantic. There were a dozen Roses and My favorite desert Tarim's waiting in our room as well. My DH had Tree great helpers to help him with the nice surprise. I was very happy. I love Romantic surprises and Dale is always so good at pulling them off.

Well Yesterday Ben said Momma you are the Best Bumm wiper ever...

Treasure hunts..

For about the last 12 years Dale and I would gather a group of friends together on Valentines day or weekend and have a scavenger hunt date... The object is to find your date.. Either the girls or the boys will go around town leaving clues that the other group will find that will lead you to your final destination. It is so stinkin fun!!! We haven't done it since we left Ca..

Here is a pic of the last date. it was so fun we made the boys buy us candy at sees lip gloss at Victoria secret and flowers at Costco we ended up at the Olive garden for dinner it was so much fun.

When I look at this photo It always amazes me how happy I was that night when I was going true such turmoil in my heart. It had only been 2 months since William had died.. I am glad I had such good friends to help me get true the bleak first couple of months.. OK enough of my walk down memory lane.

I do have to say we look so stinking hot that night... I still cant believe I looked that great after just haveing a baby...I don't think I look that good now...

S~ Is for Super fun life is never dull when I am around.

U~ Unexpected that is how my life is but when the unexpected happens I always deal with it with Grace and dignity. I was once told By a dear good friend that I reminded her of Jacklin Kennedy in the way I handled the Death of our son . That was the greatest complement she could have ever given me.

S~ Sexy at least My DH thinks so..

A~ Attitude in more ways than one . I have a good positive out look on life. I am fun and a blast to have at a party. I see the good in everyone. My DH would say I have quite a Sassy attitude when I want things done my way.

N~ Nuts No I am not nuts I love to eat nuts (OK that could sound bad) My Favorite nut's are Pistachios and Cashews.

So I will Tag... Teri, Shea, Shaina, Karen ,Beth... I cant wait to see what each of your middle names are...

Diva Madie....

I embellished these cute little capri's for Madie by adding a ruffle, ribbon ,Rick Rack and An iron Heart bling. I think they turned out very cute. We saw a pair like these in a magazine and Madie really wanted them but they were 85 bucks a little to pricey for me. I told her that I would make her some just like them she said you can I said I can She said I will believe it when I see them made. So for under 5 dollars I made these cute Capri's I got the capri's at a thrift store and the fabric and ribbon and other stuff at walmart.I forgot how much I use to love to do stuff like this. I use to sew for Kadie Shelly and Missy all the time when they were little. I guess with Madie being the 6th child I just kinda ran out of steam plus when she was born I always found such good deals at thrift stores and outlet mall that I really did not need to sew for her.
When I asked Madie to get dressed so I could take some pix of her in the outfit she replied I think I will have my photo shoot in your Bathroom . I think the best place for me to stand is on your tub. I said OK. Miss thang.. I am not kidding you should have seen how she worked the side of the tub like it was a catwalk. She had the moves and attitude to boot. I am thinking she may be America's Next Top Model. LOL
