CRAZY WEATHER, CRAZY LIFE, CRAZY MOM!!

SO OF COURSE I GET ALL MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER'S DAY PLANTS AND BUSHES ALL IN THE GROUND AND IT SNOWS!! IT HAS BEEN FREEZING HERE THIS WEEK, EXCEPT FOR A LITTLE PATCH OF SUNSHINE ON MONDAY, WHICH I TOTALLY ENJOYED!! I AM JUST HOPING THAT MOST OF MY PLANTS SURVIVED, MY HOUSE SMELLS LIKE TOMATO PLANTS, BECAUSE I DON'T DARE PLANT THOSE YET, AND CHEROKEE GAVE ME PLANTS FOR M.-DAY. LIFE HAS BEEN SO CRAZY LATELY, I WAIT EVERYDAY PATIENTLY FOR A PHONE CALL, SAYING THAT I WILL BE A GRANDMA, WHILE I AM WAITING I SHOP FOR LITTLE KENNEDY, NO HARM IN THAT HA-HA!! I HAVE STARTED BUYING HER 24MONTH OLD CLOTHES NOW, I LOVE LITTLE GIRL STUFF. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT GRANDMA AND KENNEDY ARE GOING TO BE THE BEST OF PALS!! MARTY HAS BEEN VERY BUSY WHEN HE IS HOME WORKING ON HIS GMC, DOING THE BASEMENT, YARDWORK, AND FIDDELING IN HIS GARAGE. HE IS SUCH A GREAT GUY, HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP ME WITH ALL MY PROJECTS, HE DOES GET VERY JEALOUS OF "NOODLES," THOUGH. I HAVE A VERY SPOILED DOG ON MY HANDS, HE IS LIKE MY LITTLE SHADOW, AND WHEN I GO TO BED HE WANTS IN, HOWEVER I WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP WITH ME, I ALREADY HAVE MARTY AND CASH WITH ME, SO THE DOG SLEEPS WITH CHEVY!! CHEVY HAS BEEN THE BEST HELPER TO ME THIS PAST MONTH, HE HAS DUG HOLES FOR ME AND THAT IS NOT A EASY TASK WHEN YOU HAVE "ROCK GARDENS" FOR SOIL!! WE ARE AWARDING HIS EAGLE SCOUT SOMETIME THE FIRST OF JUNE, MAY IS JUST TO CRAZY! CHEROKEE IS WAY EXCITED, SHE FINALLY GOT HER LETTER TO SAY SHE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE NURSING PROGRAM, SHE HAS BEEN CRAZY BUSY WITH GRADUATION STUFF AND WORKING AND FILLING OUT SCHOLARSHIPS AND GOOFING WITH FRIENDS. SHE GAVE THE MOST AWESOME SPEECH AT HER FFA GRADUATION NIGHT, SHE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE HER PARENTS TEAR UP REAL GOOD!! I WAS SO PROUD OF HER, SHE GAVE ALL HER GRATITUDE TO HER HEAVENLY FATHER, THAT IS NOT EASY FOR A TEENAGER TO DO IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS, SHE IS SUCH A AWESOME DAUGHTER!!
CASH IS READY FOR THE SUNSHINE, HE FINALLY WILL SIT AND PLAY AND ENERTAIN HIMSELF WITH TOYS, I MIGHT ACTUALLY GET SOME SEWING TIME! CONTESSA AND LORIN ARE DOING WONDERFUL, THEY ARE EXCITED FOR THEIR BUNDLE TO COME, I AM SO PROUD OF THEM AND I LOVE WATCHING THEM GET INVOLVED IN THE GOSPEL, THEY ASKED MARTY AND ME WHAT MADE US SO HAPPY IN LIFE AND IN OUR MARRIAGE AND WE TOLD THEM, IF THEY ARE LIVING THE GOSPEL AND DOING WHAT HEAVENLY FATHER WANTS THEM TO DO, THEY WOULD ALWAYS FIND HAPPINESS IN THEIR LIVES. I THINK THEY WERE EXPECTING A ANSWER THAT WAS MORE COMPLICATED, AND WERE A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GOSPEL. WE HAVE TRULY BEEN BLESSED WITH OUR AWESOME KIDS, I AM PROUD OF EACH OF THEM, I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS THE OTHER NIGHT AND HOW SAD SOME OF THE TOP HEADLINES WAS, IT MADE ME SO GRATEFUL FOR THE SMALL THINGS I HAVE IN LIFE, LIKE FOOD, CLOTHES, A JOB, KIDS THAT ARE HEALTHY, THE FREEDOM TO WORSHIP AS I PLEASE, I SOMETIMES WE DON'T STOP AND THINK HOW TRULY BLESSED WE ARE. I DECIDED THAT I AM GOING TO THANK MY HEAVENLY FATHER EVERYDAY FOR THE SMALL THINGS I AM BLESSED WITH THAT USUALLY GO UNNOTICED!! I HOPE ALL OF MY FAMILY IS DOING AWESOME, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE REUNION AND TO HAVE LOTS OF WATER FIGHTS, CAMPFIRES AND ALL THE MARSHMELLOWS WE CAN EAT!!! LOVE YOU ALL, C

P.S. MARTY I KNOW YOU READ THIS SO-I LOVE YOU TODAY AND FOREVER!!
