Such a great time!

A couple weeks ago my family went on a lil vacation to Disneyland.

It was heaven for my lil man. He loved it. He is a lot like his momma.

I am tired and need to go to bed.

So you are only getting one of my favorite pics from our adventure.

I will add all the rest later.

Now that is an excited boy! He loved the rocket ride. He smiled so big like tis that I thought his cheeks might cramp up. I love seeing his this happy.

Gotta love it.

I love a good giveaway.
This is a cute one.

a few faves.

i just read a post by one of my fave bloggers and a woman i truly look up to. nienie is such an amazing spirit and i love reading her post. HERE is one that made me smile. i am a big fan of hope. and nienie is bursting with it... as well as killer style. i dig her cardigan she is wearing.

i also read and loved THIS post. as a single (momma) mormon i really enjoyed it. she has such a great view on life.

i have to now express how blessed i am to have communication with my Heavenly Father. i woke up having a very sad day. (i get those now and then) so i do as i always do when i feel down... i kneel in prayer. nothing else helps like pouring my heart out to my Father. i am such a blessed girl. and on that morning i came across the ANSWER to my recent prayer. and i made it through. i love that i am a daughter of a God who loves and listens to my needs.

here are a few other faves...
first there is my new ipod touch. gotta love the apps.
then there is this fun lil flick. we have been line repeating for a couple weeks now.

early morning thoughts.

2:30 am and what am i doing up?

wide awake.

i have been laying here thinking about how much my lil mr. magoo has grown.

it doesn't seem fair.

why?

why can't he go back to being my baby?

today i was watching him play and i was floored.

i no longer have a baby.

granted he will always be my baby... but none the less... he has grown up.

how did this happen? i remember the first night we brought him home from the hospital. his father would tell people that i was to nervous to sleep. that i sat there staring at him. but that was not the case. i sat there in wonder that i had finally become what i felt i was meant to be here on this earth. i was a mother. and to be honest i was nervous. i was nervous that i wouldn't be the mother that sweet heavenly child deserved. i was nervous that i wouldn't be able to protect him from harm.

i learned early on that i could not. together my angel child and i have gone through pain. he has saved me from despair. i have learned that love is endless when you have the love of a child. and i have found out that this nervous feeling never goes away.

to night... well i guess this morning really, i have a hard time sleeping because i feel like if i go to sleep i will wake up to a teenage boy asking to take my car or something.

cooper said to me today, "i love you momma. and i like you too."

my heart soars when i am with that kid.

i'm going to win.

here is another chance to win.
i want one SO badly.

it creates beauty.

and i want one.
what is it you ask?
