Hilary Weeks
Hilary Weeks
Christmas Once Again
on sale now at Deseret Books
Ok, if you know me, then you know that I am a huge, I am talking Godzilla huge, fan of Hilary Weeks! Don't believe me? Ask my children, or better yet just take a look at the picture on the very bottom of my blog. It never changes.
I first was introduced to Hilary about 10 years ago, give or take. She came to my ward and gave a wonderful talk and even preformed. I of course was mesmerized by her wonderful talent, both in music and in the way she spoke. I can't tell you how much I admire this woman. I have had several chance to meet her face to face, thanks to Time Out for Women.
Now the real reason for this post. I have all of Hilary's CD's as you can imagine. But she has once again blessed us with another. I encourage everyone to run, don't walk, to your nearest Deseret Book and pick one up, or use the link at the top of this post and order one or two or ten! They make wonderful Christmas gifts, and no better way to ring in the season, than listening to Hilary singing about Christmas!
(I don't know why this is in such large print! Honestly, it looks fine in my edit window but as soon as I publish the post...boom, super large text. So I guess you will have to just take it as, I am very excited to announce Hilary's new CD! giggle giggle)

A little piece of Heaven
This morning I couldn't sleep. I have a cough that is coming on and everything was cold, from my nose to my toes. So, instead of laying there in bed coughing my head off, I got up and took some cold pills (because you can't get me to take cough syrup unless you sit on me and poke my eyes out with hot needles...not a pretty sight) and started to catch up on some of the blogs I try to follow.
One of my most favorite blogs is The Farm Chicks. She just gets me. I love everything about her blog. She lives the life I have always dreamed of. Well today she posted the most awesome, wonderful, perfect blog. Jump on over and look at the beautiful pictures she has, and her comments are so uplifting and inspiring. In a comment I left for her I let her know that "today is cloudy and rainy in Portland" but she brought sunshine to my day with her blog.
I can't get enough of Autumn colors and old country barns. Pure heaven if you ask me.

Time Flies
So, what has happened?
Kids are all doing well in school.
All of them are getting A's and B's! Yippee
Sheri is still in Nursing school.
Sometimes it gets overwhelming but she powers through.
I am in my last quarter of getting my
Administrative Medical Assistant Diploma!
Caleb is in Kindergarten but has missed a lot of school
because he has been sick. He's on the way to recovery though!
Halloween was a blast, even though we didn't go at it whole heatedly.
Went to the ward party, had tons of fun,
kids went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood,
not as many people passed out candy this year.
Houses were few and far between.
Welcoming in the Holidays!
I am getting in the mood!
Love to all.

Yippee!!!! Yippee!!!! Yippee!!!!
My Blackberry has had about 2 weeks to dry out and guess what?
Yep....It works again!
Can you believe that?
I have my Blackberry back!
Unfortunately, I already upgraded my phone with T-Mobile in the mean time....
but that's okay, I can always sell the new phone on E-bay.
Sometimes, we need to learn to just sit back and have some patience.

Sad Sad Sad Sad
~Plus~
~Equals~
Yep, that's right! I dropped my Blackberry into a pot of boiling water!My BLACKBERRY!
My life ~ My soul ~ My everything
I can't live without my BLACKBERRY
I also can afford to buy another one!!!!
So for now I am forced to use a ghetto phone!
Ghetto, as in, how can I ever survive with this phone?
It's not a BLACKBERRY!
No bells ~ No whistles ~ No nothing
Poor Poor Poor ME
All together now......

Yolanda
Happy Birthday Yolanda Maria Mendez
Okay, I am a few weeks late on posting this, but its summer and I have 3 kids and am going back to school. There is only so much a girl can do. ;0)
Yolanda turned 15 on August 8th. 15! Wow, that number just keeps on growing, and so does she. What a special young lady she is turning out to be. Yolanda is learning who she is and where she fits in. Yolanda enjoys reading (especially Twilight!), jewelry making, photography (oh my gosh, she has such a good eye), and cooking (if it is her idea and I am not asking her to do it). It is so exciting to see her develop new friendships and enjoy old ones. This year she had an old friend from Yakima come and stay with us her whole birthday week. Athena and Yolanda are very beautiful, intelligent, exciting young ladies. They had a blast together.
Yolanda, I love you so very much and am so very thankful that Heavenly Father trusted me to be the one to raise you and take care of you while you grow. You know how much you mean to me (I sure hope you do) I try to tell you on a daily basis. What more can I say except.....
I LOVE YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MONICA SHEALYN MENDEZ
Yesterday was Monica's 11th birthday. It is hard to believe that it has been 11 years. Monica has grown so much. She is very smart, and has discovered a love of poetry. She LOVES the color orange - therefore requested everything orange for her birthday, and she got it! She got an orange iPod, orange clothes, orange bed sheets and blanket, orange clothes hangers, orange backpack....you get the idea. She was very pleased with her birthday. We had the Sister Missionaries over for dinner and her dad bbq'd for us all. Everyone had a great time. I love you Monica! You are a very special little girl and I am thankful that I am your Mommy!
