I got my dvd/cd fixed in my computer so I can download pictures again!
Those of you that read my blog...my family and friends, know that February has been a very hard month for our family. My mother and grandmother passed away. I was in Utah for almost two weeks for the funerals. A few days after getting back home I came down with strep throat and have been flat out now for almost a week. I am still feeling horrible but am taking a break from being a sickee to do a little blog updating.
I miss my mother terribly. It is so true...you don't know what you've got til it's gone. I have of course been thinking a lot about my mom. There has been so many times that I wish that I could call and tell her something and many questions that I wish I could ask her. In November when we were at mom's we got her to buy a laptop. It was very fun for her and she would e-mail us every day and look at my blog, Stacy's blog and Kristal's blog. I know that she won't be seeing this blog but this is for my mom.....

Thanks mom for giving birth to 5 very lively children! Sorry for all the fits I threw when I was younger...thanks for not getting rid of me. You always said that you hoped I had a child just as...I think the word was "horrible" as I was...you later apologised for that when I gave birth to some fit throwing kids as "horrible" as I was! I did make up for the fits I gave you though by being a pretty good teenager!
This picture was taken before you knew what a little fit thrower I would be...hense the beautiful smile on your face.
Thanks mom for marrying dad and always giving us a home that was clean, comfortable and where we always had everything we needed...even when there was very little.
Thank you for all the support, help, advice, love, friendship, fun times...
My Mother....My Friend...

It is nice to see all those wonderful pictures of your mother. Some of them I had not seen before. I love you and I hope that you are feeling better.

Hi Pam...I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you. I also want to give you my sincere condolences...how hard to lose both in less than 2 weeks. What a beautiful comfort it is to have the Gospel and the knowledge that you'll see them both again someday! :) My mom and I wish you big hugs, and for you to feel better soon, too!
