Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most. 

Greatest Parents in the world! 

I have to say both of these wonderful people. They are my mom and dad. I have an amazingly close relationship with them. It hasn't always been great. As a matter of fact, it's been quite hellish at times...in the past that is. I couldn't be any of who I am if it weren't for these two people. No matter what has come up in my life, what obstacles I've come up against, what trials or tribulations I've had or will have, they both have been there supporting me emotional, pushing me, encouraging me, praising me, crying with me, and laughing with me. I've said before I'd want to be friends with them even if they weren't my parents and I'll say it again. They've helped me through my life but I've also watched them help others they same way. They are amazing and I've been so blessed to have them in my life. I'm so glad they're going to live for ever! =)

Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh. 

Wes & Crisco 
This picture gives me a chuckle every time I see it. I have a ton of them but this one gets me. When Wes was a baby, Crisco's favorite past time was to make him laugh. He had one of those all over belly laughs that was contagious. You couldn't be around him with out giggling. (Tell you a secret? He still has that laugh) I can almost hear them giggling now. It's one of the greatest gifts my kids have given me...lots of laughter.

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.
Kissed by an Angel

I have many treasured things. I couldn't possibly pick one most treasured. This, however, is one of my most treasured items. It's a small angel figurine. Not anything really spectacular about it. There a dime a dozen at any what-not store. So why is this so treasured? I received this as a Christmas present from my oldest son when he was probably in the sixth grade. I know what you're thinking. It seems like something a kid that age would buy. Here's the catch. I receive this on Christmas morning without knowing when or how he got it. I was a little confused. I had a package under the tree from the boys that my mom had them buy. I just didn't know where this came from. He asked me if I liked it and I told him I did but wanted to know where he got it. He told me that a few weeks earlier we had been at our local Goodwill and while I was looking at somethings, he went and found this and sneaked over, paid for it and hit it bag and all in his pocket until he could hide it in the backseat of the car. I melted. He not only took his own money to buy me a gift but he took special care to surprise me. It's something that still gives me warm a fuzzys. It sets on my head board and holds my ring at night. The second most treasured item I have came from him as well. He gave me a hand made cross stained with a stain he made himself from wild berries. He always seems to know how to get me. What a blessing. 

**My most practical treasured item is my iPhone...yes, I'll confess. You usually can't find me without it. I can't help it I'm a geek!

Day 06 - A picture of a person you would like to trade places with for a day. 
Teresa the coolest homesteader ever

I thought about this one for the longest time. I went through all the famous people. I came to the conclusion that it would have to be my friend Teresa. She's the most interesting person I know. She's a stay at home homesteader. I can't even call her a SAHM or SAHW because she's so much more than that. She designed their house herself. I mean literally drew it out. She googled how to and did it. She looks for new things to learn every day...and she does them. She's been blessed with the fortune to get to stay home and home school their children. She's made it fun too. They go on field trips that are very educational and fun. She grows her on own food, raises chickens, rabbits, and a few other very weird animals. She's living the life I'd love to live if given the opportunity to. On top of it all, she loves God and shows it not through her words but through her actions. You just feel him with you when you're with her. I love that feeling. So if I could trade places for a day, it would be with her. My homesteading, Blueman loving, tattooed, tree hugging, computer addicted, paper making friend Teresa.

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory. 
Little Bit and Crisco 
This is just one of a million moments that are my favorite. This one, however, represents a bond that all three of my boys have and have had since birth. Crisco is about 8 in this picture and little bit was a little over a year old. Crisco always watched this old Superman Cartoon at my mom's house. The big blue stool was always drug across the living room and he planted himself right there. Little bit is very much a mama's boy and was usually at me feet 24/7. This day we were visiting and I was in the kitchen. I heard the little brown stool scrapping across the floor and realized Little Bit had left my side. Mom and I went to inspect and this was what I saw. Little Bit imitating his biggest bubby. Crisco had looked down at him and handed him one of his "granny" cookies and they sat there for 45 minutes watching the old superman shows. There's been many of these moments since then but this one captures so much for me. Crisco has Tourette's and OCD but his brothers (both of them) look up to him so much. Little Bit puts it like this "Crisco is cool. He's kind of weird but the cool kind of weird." Looking at this picture I see two of my three greatest accomplishments in this world. It makes me smile and makes me so blessed.

Day 04 - A picture of your favorite night. 
Winter Jam 2010
I took two of my guys and a few other youth to Winter Jam 2010. I had the best time. I can't even begin to describe what an awesome experience it was to combine my love for God and my love for music. It was my youngest's first concert ever and he's hooked. I can't wait to go back in 2011. If it comes to your neck of the woods I highly suggest going.

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show. 
Chuck

I love this show. I'm not a big television watcher. I have three males and one remote in my house. You do the math. ha! ha! Honestly, between classes, house work, reading, looming, and the lack of the ability to sit still for very long I don't watch very much TV. I do, however, make every effort to be in front of the flatscreen when Chuck comes on. It makes me laugh. I also like that for once the show let the two love interests actually get together and stay together without ruining the show. Kudos to the writers. That's my favorite cast in pictures.
