A little catch up!

Yeah, so I'm a terrible blogger, I know!  I am going to do my best to get our summer caught up as best as I can.  It was lots of fun and we had a few adventures.  Jake's soccer is year round now, so that took up much of our time.  He's doing so awesome though and having that extra training has really been beneficial to him.  So it is worth it!  Hope you are prepared, cuz there's gonna be quite a few posts and pictures to go through as soon as I'm done!  :)  Ready, set...GO!

A long time

It's been a long time since I have written...been neglecting my blog all summer.  I've been trying to deal with a few things that are hard, but I will get this place updated soon.  We are doing well and having fun in our adventures. 

Remembering

Yesterday would have been my dad's 61st birthday.  Gosh I miss him!  It's been a rotten, emotional, trying week already, so thinking about him yesterday was especially hard.  I had the very best Daddy in the whole world.  Ask anyone who knew him!  He was pretty wonderful.  I always knew that he loved me and would do anything for me.  I am not so great at following his example, but I'm trying.

Anyway, I'm adding a few pics of he and I so I can remember with a happy face!

Happy Birthday Dad!  I love you!!!

Yes, I'm a sappy dork

Here are the lyrics to the song.  Yes, I know I'm sappy.  I love this one!

Hourglass

Little boy, when you speak
I can't help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans
Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could hitch a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan

When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
Life's an hourglass

Story's read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask

When you reach for the stars
Don't forget who you are
And please don't turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life's an hourglass
Life's an hourglass

Another one?

So I know I have tried and failed at starting another 365 blog, but I'm considering trying yet again.  Maybe I should get it up and going for at least a month or so before I actually tell anyone about it?  :)  I liked the first one I did, and I think I am slowly making my way to a better place as far as my depression, so it might be a good project/goal for me.  Slow and easy.  :)  Anyhoo, I'm considering it, but for now, I will keep my posts here.  TTYL!!

Help!

I redid my playlist, but it doesn't automatically start playing when the page lods.  Is this something that playlist.com changed or have I done something wrong?  I swear it used to have an option for automatic startup, but I can't find it anywhere.  I LOVE the first song on there..."Hourglass."  It's perfect!  I want to dance with Jake at his wedding to it, lol!  Click it and listen, it will make you cry!  The other songs are sweet too, but that first one says it all.  :)  Thanks to Nancy for sharing it.  :)

renovation

I'm trying to revamp my blog. It's not very up to date, so hopefully there will be some (good) changes soon to come!
