UNSURE

Unsure why I've allowed my children to go back to school
*5th grade - really
*3rd grade - oh no
*kindergarten - dreadful

Unsure why I'm paying $100.00 to do something that I don't really want to do.
- this should be challenging and fun?

Unsure why my brother doesn't read my blog!!!
- the title is confusing but I hardly ever talk about sewing - mostly about why I love my family - including him.

Unsure why I'm so overbearing - I don't really like that in others and least in myself.
- everyone could stand a bit of self improvement - I'm sure of that.

Unsure if going to Disneyland in October is something the budget can handle but I'm gonna try to make it work anyhow. I'm only talking about myself - I already invited Mom and she said Yes of course - I'm unsure if she knows I'm serious! Mom, I'm serious! sisters - johnny boy???

Unsure why I don't blog anymore but something is lacking in my desire lately.

Unsure why I'm telling you all of this !

One thing I'm sure of is that I love my family!
Smooches, JEN

Sweet Annie

Alright, today is Wednesday, August 11th - which means it has been over a month since my brown haired girl got baptized. I'm almost as far behind with my blogging as I am with my coupon clipping. Summer is busy and delightful. Today is not the day I should be bloggin however because today is my ward Summer BBQ and I'm the Activities Director but I'm ignoring that for a moment because I just looked at my girl unloading the dishes and had such strong feelings about her and her goodness that I must write. This beautiful girl will change the world with her christ-like approach to everything she does. She is rarely seen with out her ear to ear grin. When asked to do a job she has rarely complained but quite the opposite - she usually says, "Momma, is that a big enough job to help you out today." If someone is crying she is the first one on the scene to see if she can love them. She is my child who when coming home from somewhere - wether it be church or the grocery store- she is the one who lingers at my car door to see if she can help me carry something in. She has a sincere desire to do what is right. Anna, you have brightened our life since the moment you came into this world. We adore you & pray that you will always have the desire to help others and follow your Heavenly Father.

Clean & beautiful
Doesn't she just look like her Daddy. What a blessed little girl to have such a wonderful Dad. What a blessing it is to have a dad that is worthy to baptize you.

I took this picture on her baptism day - I thought it was significant. This butterfly didn't move from this spot for the entire day - I'm guessing that it had just come out of its cocoon.

Annie and her beautiful cousin Garyn.

I love you my girl.

Momma
