I am learning that I love this style of scrapbooking and documenting our everyday life. The little stuff I want my kiddos to remember and cherish. Life goes on we have discovered, and we are living it right now. It may not be glamorous or filled with outstanding vacations or activities, but we are together, happy, and healthy. That is all that matters. </span><br />

I am starting a new scrapbook approach this year. Project Life. I want to scrapbook the little moments, the big moments, and all those in-between moments. I want to leave proof of these memories behind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I will be sharing my pages here on this poor, neglected blog. Hopefully it all goes as planned this year. </span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">So much loss this year...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Our family has had so many losses this year. We lost our mom in January, Ron in May, and then just 2 weeks ago we lost my mother in law, Pat. I have been so blessed to have had her in my life. I was one of the lucky ones. A lucky one who had a true friend in her mother in law. I valued her friendship and enjoyed her tremendously. As we live our lives, we don't realize how much someone has impacted our life, until they are no longer there. This is how I feel. I wish I would have stopped by her house to see her more often, instead of calling. I wish I would have told her how very much she meant to me, more often. She was a wonderful woman, who always had a smile on her face and a kind word for your heart. She sent the best cards with a message you always needed to hear, to lift your spirits or so you simply knew she cared. She loved her husband, children and grandchildren unconditionally. Riles has been having a very hard time with this loss. Grandma was her very best friend, and she doesn't quite know what to do with her time now. She doesn't like to talk about her, and today was in tears because she couldn't show her her new Huskers hat. We were cleaning out some drawers today and came across cards we had saved, written in her handwriting. We sat and cried for awhile, then wiped our tears and carried on as we know she would want us too. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">We love you, we miss you. Your absence is felt everyday in everything we do. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Losing you...was one of the hardest things we have gone through as a family. Losing you...we are no longer the 8 of us (here on Earth...our hearts we will be 8 of us forever). I can't look at your picture. I can't believe I will never hear you say "Love ya!" at the end of a phone call. I miss you. Oh how I miss you. You have been my hero for so long, it's hard to imagine my life goes on. I know you are at peace. I could see it on your face. Your struggles on Earth were many, yet you were always willing to help, no matter what the task. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">As summer has appeared I look at people's gardens and wonder what you would have planted this year, I look at people fishing and wonder what you would have caught. I worried and wondered at the end of your life hoping you felt our love for you. It's taken me awhile to write these words for you. You deserve so much more than what I can say here. So, I will just say to you...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I miss your daisy dukes and chicken legs this summer. I love you Big Brother. whimper sue. </span>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09635201294092915016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22850869.post-41892110440299423092012-01-09T22:20:00.000-06:002012-01-09T22:20:29.206-06:00<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You will be missed so very much. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My heart is heavy right now. I want to pick up the phone and call you, but I know you won't answer. I won't ever hear your voice again. I won't ever see your smile, or hear you tell me you love me. (this is all about me you know ;) I walk into your house and look for you in your bed, but you are not there. You left us, and I should be comforted by knowing you have joined Dad, but I am selfish. I want you here. Here with me, so I can physically touch you, hear you, talk to you, and love you.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana;">No, I haven't fallen off the earth. I was just taking a break for a bit. Our lives really haven't been that interesting, and man it sure seemed like 2011 flew by. We have had some sad news in our family recently. Around Oct. my oldest brother was diagnosed with cancer. It was located on his tongue and safely removed. Cancer, however; wasn't finished with our family. My mother (a 2 time cancer survivor) was informed in Dec. the cancer we thought she beat in 2008, was indeed back. It is inoperable and they cannot do radiation. They will treat it with Chemo, and hopefully it will keep it from growing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana;">On with info on the kiddos..Danny has grown 2 inches since school started, he is now in men's clothing, and will be shaving soon I am sure. He is slowly adjusting with a new school, and is still his fun loving self. Riles loves her new school, grew an inch, lost five pounds and went back a size in jeans. We had to buy a belt to keep her pants from falling down. She is still as spirited as ever, but I cannot imagine my life without either of them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana;">Our Christmas was pretty low key and the kids managed to score lots of things from their Christmas lists. As for me, </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana;">Chris gave me money for christmas and my birthday and I bought myself a Silhouette Cameo. It is simply the best machine. I am sure I will find things I am not so happy about, but for now..it cuts way better than my cricut. I haven't decided if I will keep the bug or not. Anyway, here are pictures of our christmas fun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana;">Happy New Year everyone. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Since the kiddos birthdays are just days apart, we always celebrate together. This year they decided on a bowling party. It was so much fun and I loved watching all the kiddos have so much fun. We are so blessed to have so much family live near by. We (family) are always commenting how very blessed and lucky are kiddos are to grow up and form such lasting relationships with their cousins. Sure they fight as all kids do, but the bond they share is simply amazing. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">The kiddos started their new school last week. Things seem to be going well. Riles loves "her new friends and we don't have lots of kids in my class. My teacher can answer my questions instead of ignoring me." Danno has said "it's cool. The kids are nice here too." I was worried he would not adapt well. He is a creature of habit and likes a specific routine. A routine without change and a familiar environment. (He is smiling when he comes home and loves going to grandma's.) Riles on the other hand, craves for activity and change. She has to perform tasks a certain way, but doesn't mind if you change things up a bit. I love to see the light in her eyes when she talks about learning. She loves Diary of a Whimpy Kid and any world record book. :) </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">I am also back to school with 18 new little ones. I forget how hard it is in the beginning, but marvel at how well the little ones adapt to changes and quickly settle into a routine. I love teaching them. I love to see their eyes shine bright and hear my name called loudly as they run into our room each morning eager to share their news. The pride I feel when they master a new task must equal one of a parent. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">I cannot wait to see how we will all grow this school year. </span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">This past May, our dog Tucker had a litter of pups. Seven little bundles of fur, ok so one wasn't so little. His name was Frank. Anyway, as the weeks progressed, Riles and one little female puppy formed an incredible bond with each other. When Riles would call her name, she would come to her, and when Riles walked in the door, here she would come. Soon it was time to say good-bye to the puppies and we listed them for free on craigslist. In 24 hours all the puppies had homes. Riles sobbed. and sobbed. and sobbed. She didn't want to say good bye to Ellie. She was her best friend in the whole wide world, and she would miss her for her whole life. (riles words). So, the night that the last puppy left and Ellie was the last one remaining, Papa (Blackie) said to Grandma Pat, "If the Riles wants to keep Ellie, I guess we can keep her here." So, that's how we became the proud "foster parents" of Ellie. Riles' best friend in the whole wide world. (Danny thinks she's pretty cool too.)<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I had a moment today. A moment where I realized, yet again, I couldn't just simply "go ask my Dad" a question. Even after almost 8 years, these things sneak up on me and bring on the tears. Something as simple as an old family recipe, something that wasn't written down, brings on the melancholy. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">It makes me wish I would have had the foresight to ask him questions and have him write his stories down. It doesn't matter if I had heard them all a thousand times before, I will never hear them again. What brought this on? My sisters have been talking about my Grandma Coates' recipes for baked mac and cheese and her baking powder biscuits (which is something I cannot make, no matter how many times I try). My dad was an only child. There isn't anyone to ask these questions. No one to give the answers. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">I miss my dad today. </span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">The kiddos and I went to see The Wall That Heals, the traveling Vietnam Wall exhibit. It was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I hope my children understand the significance of those names and what they represent. I hope they understand Freedom isn't free. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Thank you to all who have fought, or are fighting for our freedom. The sacrifices you and your family make are honored and appreciated in our home. </span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">So incredibly excited for tomorrow. The sisters and I are going to see <span style="color: lime;">WICKED</span>! I saw it last year (from the nose bleed section) and it was phenomenal, so I can't wait to see it tomorrow (from the orchestra floor), with some of my favorite people. My sister Dianne absolutely loves the Wizard of Oz, (and so do both of her grandbabies) and I think I am more excited to see her reaction to it than to see the show! :) </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Today my hubby, Danno, and I made a journey up north so Danny could visit Troy. In prison. It was the most difficult decision (and journey) I have ever made as a parent. Danny came to me approximately 2 years ago, when Troy sent him a birthday card. He was almost livid. His comment to me was something like this "Why does he think it's ok he calls me son, or send me a birthday card? Why NOW? How come I wasn't good enough to be his son when I was 6, or 10? Why am I only good enough when he goes to jail?I don't understand. What's wrong with me when he isn't in jail" </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I had to look into that face, a face who lights up a room with one smile, and say "I don't have the answers you need. Unfortunately, the only person who has them is Troy. Those are questions you have to ask him. I'm sorry I can't give you the answers you need." Danny's response was "Then let's go. I want to talk to him. I want to see his face." So, we applied for a visitor's pass to take Danno to see him. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Danny was denied. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">So, this past February we applied again. He was denied for the second time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I had to apply for an appeal to the warden for Danny to be approved. Troy had completed the classes for Danny to visit by then. Danny was approved in March.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">So, today I watched my son climb into our van and anxiously ride for 3.5 hours to seek the answers he so desparately needed. The only thing is, he didn't ask them. This time. He said "I want to get to know him, before I ask him why." My heart broke today as I sat and watched a grown man, and a tenderhearted boy try to forge a relationship. A relationship that should have been forged long ago. I was young, so was he. We created a child, and unfortunately it is he who paid the price. Not me. Not Troy. Danny. As I sat there and watched them learn to communicate, I felt a range of emotions. I felt guilty, angry, and hopeful. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">GUILTY, because I don't think I have ever seen my son happier. Angry for the circumstances I put him in. No, I didn't deny Troy visitation. He was the one who chose not to have contact, but being young I made decisons that impacted his life. Would I do it all over again, absolutely. Have you met my son? He is splendidly awesome. :) Hopeful, because I see a man who is wiser, and I believe just as hopeful. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Both kiddos celebrated birthdays this week. Riles on Sunday and Danny today. We somewhat celebrated by going to the car show on Sunday, and we will have their birthday bowling party on Saturday. They loved the car show, especially watching the BMX bike stunt team perform. I just know I will be seeing riles and dude making ramps this summer. :) I cannot wait for summer vacation, nice warm and lazy days listening to the kiddos fight, going places and experiencing new things. Angela and I are planning on taking our kiddos back to KC this summer. One definite stop will be the Trex cafe. I can't wait. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I scrap with the girls in April, and look forward to that. We haven't been anywhere or scrapped together in a while. So long, in fact I was worried if we were still friends! Here are some pictures of the kiddos this past weekend. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Enjoy </span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">not a lot to report on us. The kiddos will turn a year older (each) towards the end of the month. We are trying to plan a party that works for both of them. It is hard when there is such an age gap between them. Danny is doing well in school this year. The maturity and responsibility he has gained is amazing. Riles is still Riles. She loves school and enjoys learning. She is excited to change schools next year and be able to play with her friends in town after school. Danny...not so excited; however, once the school year gets started and he meets some new friends, I bet his outlook on it will change. I hope so. Chris and I have decided if he does not adjust well we can always change him back. He will be studying for his permit soon. I cannot believe he is old enough for this. The years have flown so fast. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I am looking forward to spring break and winding down of the school year. As I look back on the class from this year, I can see how much we have grown. Me as a teacher, and them as individuals. I will miss this class. Some of them, I have had for 2 years. Others I wish I had more time with, time to help them become more successful, and to cherish them a little longer. Sometimes, it breaks my heart to see them go on. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Happy Saturday.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Tonight, as Riles and I were finishing the last touches on dinner (Chicken Alfredo), she said this to me. "I don't want to die. I'm scared to die." Me: "What brings this up for us to talk about big girl?" Riles (as tears fill those big, beautiful brown eyes) said "I've just been thinking about it. If I die, I have to grow up and leave here. I don't want to leave here. I want to be here with you and dad." Me: (who happens to be bawling at this time) said "Oh Riles, death isn't something to fear. You get to live with Jesus in his garden. You would get to see Grandpa Coates and Haddie. ("and Buddy!" she says), and sit on Jesus's lap or at his table and visit with him. The sun would shine everyday, and I bet rainbows appear too. Death is another step to living. We can't all live forever." Riles: "I just don't want to die. It scares me to bad." She then gave me the biggest bear hug and wouldn't let go. </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">So, what do I say to her to calm her fears? She said she has been thinking about it "a lot on my mind lately." I don't know how to help her "get it off her mind." </span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Riles! Yep..she matched the dates to the puzzle game and got a wienie whistle (and they were so nice they gave her another one for Danny :) </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">We went to the dreaded W place today and lo and behold..there it sat. Now, I don't know if you know this faithful readers (all 3 of you), but I have secretly LOVED the wienie mobile all my life. *I* bought the hotwheel many years before I had children, and then found another one at a garage sale, score! I giggle everytime I see it. I know, it's right up there with my love for all things Sesame Street (which is the new cricut cartridge I just bought). </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Here are the pictures of Miss Riles with the wieniemobile. (Danny didn't go: 1. He loathes grocering (as he used to call it), and 2. it wasn't supposed to be there until tomorrow, which is when we were going to make a drive specifically to see it. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Have a bunderful day! </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">The kids are going crazy lol. We have been busy, busy, busy. Keeping Riles busy during the winter is a high priority. This child has so much energy and is constantly on the move. She is active and loves to play in sports. Danny on the other hand is so easy going and is content to just lay around. I wanted to get them both involved in something ongoing, not just a seasonal sport. So we signed them up for Tae Kwon Do. I have never seen a happier child than Danny. The absolute delight and joy I see on his face at practice makes me wish I had done it sooner. I giggle every time I see Riles' stubby little body trying to do her kicks. She is not very coordinated, but gives it 110%! (She is also in girl scouts and basketball.) As soon as I take some pics of karate I will post them. :) </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Meanwhile, here are some pics of Riles directing "traffic" on the road in front of our house. (Remember, it is a private lane and we can see up and down the lane)</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">and that means it is time for Vala's Pumpkin Patch. We haven't been to Vala's since 2005. FIVE years! So, yesterday Danny, Riles and I spent the day together exploring all the attractions new and old. We had an amazing time. For once, I let them navigate where we were going and what activities to do. It was stress free and fun for all of us. We didn't have an agenda or time limit; however, after 4.5 hours we were done, physically and mentally. They were tired, the crowds were getting heavier, and they wanted to buy their pumpkins. I took pictures sporadically, mostly of Riles (for some reason, Danny has developed an aversion to the camera..wonder why?). The highlight of the day? Eating the huge turkey legs and mining for gemstones. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Soon, I hope to get our family pictures taken while the leaves are still ON the trees and beautiful in color. I love this time of year, the leaves changing, the crisp, cool mornings, watching the kiddos exhale heavily, just to see their breath in the cold. Most of all, I love the excitement of hot cocoa on the way to school, comfort foods baked in the oven, and the anticipation of family holidays and time spent with our loved ones. I love this time of year. </span><br />

All types. Be it country, rap, hard rock, heavy metal, new age, and Kid's bop...they love and listen to it all. It has been amazing to watch this fascination grow. Yesterday, Riles "reminded" me the new Zac Brown Band cd was being released. So, being the "good" mom I am, I stopped and picked up the cd for her and one (from a different artist) for Danno. It was (kinda) quiet in our house for at least 30 minutes while they listened to their new "tunes" with head phones. I love how diverse their interests are. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;color:#000099;">whimp</span>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09635201294092915016noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22850869.post-6558877523179131332010-08-29T11:40:00.003-05:002010-08-29T11:50:01.543-05:00<div><div><div><div><span style="color:#000099;"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;">Last trip of Summer 2010...</span> </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">The kiddos, Angela and her son Randy, and I all loaded in Angie's van and went to Kansas City the first week in August.
