Christmas 2013

Yep...Here is Christmas. Again on my phone and not blogged about until April. We spent our Christmas in Idaho Falls DEATHLY ill:( It was so sad to see the girls wishing they were in bed Christmas morning instead of opening presents and playing with cousins. Tammy and Jim made it from Washington only to watch us lay around all week!

Thanksgiving 2013

Yes, it's April and I am blogging about Thanksgiving....I didn't think I had any pictures of all of our fun! Should have double checked my phone...We got to spend time with my sister's family and Tyler's family! It made for a great holiday. We love cousins!!!!

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.
