If I Could

If I could I would bottle the following:

The thrill of a first kiss


The fullness of love felt when you know that this is the one




The whole world in your hands feelings felt on your wedding day


The joy of meeting your baby for the first time



The peace felt while cuddling with your little one



The feelings felt after overcoming a great challenge


The feeling of the sun


The silence of the snow


The smell of rain



What would you bottle if you could?

Me, Myself and I said…
I am listening to "True Love's Kiss" from Enchanted --- on my blog's music player. Anyway, it's great background music to this post.

I would bottle all of those things too. I would bottle the smell of my husband. I don't know if that's weird, but I like his smell. And the smell of babies. And the smell of springtime. And the smell of chlorine.

Chlorine is already bottled it is called bleach. I would be careful with taking to big of a wiff. As for the other smells you mentioned I agree. Even the smell of a husband.

I would bottle my age right now. I love my age. I wouldn't want to be younger again and I don't want to get old!

Baby laughter.


I had about 17 ideas of things to bottle, but then I waited up for my husband to come home from work. I waited until 2am, and then I couldn't make my eyes stay open any longer. Guess what? He didn't come home... he is still there 27 hours later.

The kids and I are now planning a day trip away so that their father can sleep off his super long shift.

Summer rain storms. Baby hugs and kisses. First loves and first kisses definitely. Laughing uncontrollably. Watching your children succeed. Watching your children be kind. Accomplishing something big. Feeling loved and content. I could go on but you get the idea. Have fun in Cali!

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
