We are so glad it did though!!

Jumps and Licks
Perrys

Bring on Metallica

It was Devin's turn for his bedroom makeover!!
Since his birthday was coming soon I decided to wait and do it on that day!
What a crazy day it was!!
I had no idea how long it would take.
The above picture was of before.
His wish was a metallica bedroom with some halo still.
The mattress you see under the bed is Daltons bed :o)

His closets doors were broken and falling down. I found some shower curtains and shower curtain rods and it turned out great!!

Devin said his favorite color is black and he wanted black paint!
I was afraid of how dark it would make a basement room but this idea turned out great!

Devin is going to take guitar in 10th grade next year!

And there ya go!!

Embrace

I saw this posted on facebook and I absolutely LOVED it so I wanted to share it with all my peeps here too!! I for one am very much for live and let live and I embrace the differences in us all! How boring the world would be if we were all the exact same! I can't wait for a world where everyone is accecpted for who they are and for their inner beauty instead of being judged by what closed minded people think everyone should be.

ENJOY!

or

NOT

I don't judge either way!

I am probably going to butcher this but like my rockin friend says..

Life is like a box of crayons there are tons of different colors but we all have to fit into the same box.

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans

Something to think about......

A sad day...

Ozzy
February 21 2008 to April 8 2009
Yesterday I received a pretty bad phone call. Ozzy had been hit by a car on the busy 1st street road. I didn't believe it at first because he had just been laying on my feet while I was doing paperwork for Hot Spot. I went out to the backyard and called for him. When he didn't come I checked all the gates and all the holes he has gotten out of in the past and everything was secure. But when I got out to the spot there he was. The lady who called me was waiting and they had moved him off the road. He died immediately so there was no suffering. I carried him home and gave him a last little love and wrapped him in his blanket.
Today as I am going through our normal steps he is missed a every turn.
He slept with me every night snuggling up to my side.
Sometimes I would get cranky because it was like sleeping with a child not being able to move, but this morning I wish I could have felt that.
When it it was time to take the kids to school he wasn't there jumping all around asking to go with us to drop them off.
I turned on the TV to start my Yoga and the commercial that was on had a doorbell and there was no barking and running for the door.
While doing yoga Ozzy did not try to lick my face or climb onto my legs.
He was such a HUGE part of our daily lives and I don't know why but he loved me the very most. He was always wanting to be close to me and trying to jump onto my lap.
And DANG it he just barely started going to the bathroom outside all the time instead of just most of the time!!
I sometimes look at my life and feel like I am living some kind of dream. I still feel like such a kid and when I look at my six kiddos I still go am I really a Mother to these incredible people? To think that in a flash everything could be taken away from me. I am so grateful for everything I have but don't feel like Ozzy got enough time here with us.
LOVE YOU OZ!!
