A Flock of Birds

Ok I was driving down the freeway on my way home from the gym minding my own business and this is what happens when a flock of birds fly into your vehicle. Out of nowhere came a flock of huge birds not sure of the brand of bird but to big for my comfort. This is the top of my windshield and the thud was a horrible sound. I screamed it scared my so bad. I also have a headache from it. Scared me!!!!!!!! It went up and hit my luggage rack and I have nice white streaks all on the top as well. I am hoping that it didn't break the seal on the windshield or when I wash my van I will get a two for one and have the inside washed as well. I wondered after hearing about that plane going down after a flock of birds flew into the engine why they just
didn't move out of the way. But I really didn't want to know that bad, so watch out for what you are wondering about. ;)

A little strawberries with your splenda

So Brittany had set Raylie down to eat some strawberries and she had sprinkled a little splenda on them. Put her at the table, left the box on the counter, Brittany then came into my room to talk to me for a minute when she went back out this is what she found. I guess Raylie decieded that Brittany did not put enough splenda on it and she wanted a little more. You can sorta see the few strawberries scattered in with the splenda. Oh Raylie what will we ever do? I am sure this is one of many to come Brittany!!!!!!

My new Hobby

I am taking a painting class every Thursday. It is so fun and relaxing to paint. I took some oil painting classes when I was in High School forever ago. A friend started taking this class and told me about it and I thought..... why not. I am on my third painting right now (for Danette), almost ready to start another one.

The Palm Tree painting is Sharise's and the lake scene, I painted for a friend for Christmas

Happy Birthday Elder Fowlks

Can't believe that Daniel is turning 21. But I knew when that day came that it wouldn't be to much longer and he would be home. It has gone by so fast. Not sure HE is ready to come home. I was getting his b-day package ready to send to him and was reminiscing the day he was born and the days months and years to follow and the many trips to the Dr. office because of chronic ear infections. That at the age of 10 months he needed tubes in his ears, he was so little it was hard to let them stroll him away on that bed. Then at the age of 19 months his little trip through the HOT coals on the shores of Lake Powell (not a fun experience at all). Then at the age of 8 his trip off the the house onto his head and the three day stay in the hospital we were very worried for him at that time. With this came many priesthood blessings in his first 8 years of life, I know that his feet are OK now and the blessing when he feel from the house he did not have lasting effects (his sisters may say different). He entered this world and made sure he was noticed and he is still doing a great job with that. The people in the Atlanta GA North mission love him. We have had many people email, write and call to tell us how much he is loved there.

Here are a few pictures

This is a picture of the Birthday Cake that I sent him.

This last picture is a way we could actually wish him a Happy Birthday right on his B-day. I had the girls email these pictures from there homes and then I put this together and emailed it to the Ward Mission Leader (Bro. Jones) in Daniels ward. Bro Jones will print it off and give it to Daniel at church. Bro. Jones is the one who sent that great letter to us on Thanksgiving. I love having contacts with people in his area. It has been fun to be able to help him (Daniel) a little to celebrate his birthdays.
