Isn't it neat?

Well, I am now an official Independent Demonstrator for Uppercase Living. If you have never just out this site you must! They offer hundreds of pre-designed catalog expressions as well as the option to custom design any expression you would like. These expressions can be placed easily and seamlessly on your walls or any other smooth surface. Witty phrases, spiritual quotes, meaningful sayings passed on for generations – you’ll find that Uppercase Living expressions complement your home with what they say as well as the way they look.

They have so many neat things you can do to decorate your home.

You can visit the site at www.uppercaseliving.com , from there go to Customer Corner Login. From there you are asked for some of your info and some of mine.
Here is what you will need from me:
Demonstrators ID: 508009
Registration Token: Williams

When you are signed on, you can view the catalog, order a catalog, and even design your own expression. I encourage you to try designing your own as it is lots of fun to play with. If you do design something you love, go ahead and save it and you can order it anytime.

I have found the prices to be very reasonable...especially if you think about how much paint is and how much of your time it would take to paint it on your walls yourself and the outcome of that. I view my self as a pretty artistic person and always say, "I can make that". But the crispness and professionalism of this product can not be compared to any of my work.

That is why I have decided to sell this product. I think it is so fun and neat. And we all have things we want to say...why not speak them out loud...on our walls!

It is a fairly new company so there aren't many Demonstrators out there yet. If you love this product as much as I do, please let me know. If you would like to place an order, you can contact me via email or phone. I am also looking to do some open houses to get this awesome product out there. Please let me know if you would like have an open house and share Uppercase Living with your friends and family. Please also feel free to give your friends and family the web site and the info needed to sign on to look at the catalogs.

LOVE

Our 8 year anniversary was yesterday. Instead of going out to eat.....since we did that so much last week...I made lasagna,salad, bead and tea. I put out my pretty dishes and whine glasses. Ray brought me home some beautiful flowers that finished off the table beautifully. I put on my new, beautiful pearls that Ray got me, and celebrated with Ray, Aryna, Wyatt, David and Will. It was a beautiful dinner and I enjoyed the company of them all. Aryna sang a sweet little Happy Anniversary song to us that she made up...I just love that girl. After that, I made Will take a picture of us all for a mug I am going to have made for my Grandpa for his birthday coming up. This is the picture that I decided on. I hope he likes it. He is the leader of music in the family. And such an awesome man. I love my Grandpa. On the mug I wrote, "If you're gonna play in Texas," and I didn't have room to write, "you gotta have a fiddle in the band" but I think he can fill in the blank.
Anyhow, I had a wonderful Anniversary and you can see my new pearls in the picture. What a wonderful Husband I have and an awesome 8 years, filled with love, tears, joy, growth in each other and our relationships with God, and two beautiful kids. Wow, I feel blessed.

I am here

This is the boys having fun!



This is not so fun. Need I say more. You can't see much but Wyatt had a bloody nose and his right cheek is beat up, but he is okay because I gave him a sucker. Dave's knee is bleeding and he got burt.

I haven't posted in forever! Time flies so fast.
* Two weeks ago I help pack my Best Friend and her family up for there move to Fort Worth. And I have to hug her good bye. One of the saddest days of my life. I do realize that she is only 4 hours aways, but we had finally became neighbors.
* The next week I kind of bummed around and didn't get too much done. But accidents happened countless times to my crazy son Wyatt....and all I can say is "I serve an awesome and almighty God." I know Wyatt was in His arms through all of the crazy things that happened that week. I pray every night and day and even every time I leave the house, for the safely of my and my family. When I told my mom of all the events of the week, she said now she understands why I pray so much. My God is MIGHTY!
* This last week, we got to go swimming with Steph and the kids and Shanna and her kids while they came down for a few days. I think we all had a great time. Shanna was kind enough to have a slumber party for all the girls at her house. Aryna had a great time and felt so special to be apart of it all. Thank you Shanna and Steph for allowing her to feel like she is a part of the family!
* Tuesday Steph and the girls went back to Fort Worth and Aryna and I went shopping. It is a good way for us to ease the pain of good byes. We went to Target three times that day. Really, how many times can a person go to that store in one day. Is that a record? And just so you know, I did buy something each time. eekkk. We ate lunch at Sunset Grill and then Dinner at our usual, Rosa's for Taco Tuesday.
* Wednesday, my good friend Melissa was in town from San Antonio and want to have lunch and she had never been to Sunset Grill, so we went AGAIN! Hehe....and it was still good! That night we went to church and Melissa and her mom joined us. After, the church all went to Pepe's for Dinner. Then we came home and I made cookies for the boys and we have ice cream sundays on top of the cookies. YUM
* Thursday we stayed home and cleaned and just relaxed. Steph, Cam and the girls came into town to close on the house and took us all out for Dinner at Chile's. We all had a great time and left stuffed!! Then we went to target to return something, and I can't remember if I bought anything else. I don;t think so!
* Fri, I got to spend to whole day with Steph and the girls. It was such a blessing to be with my best friend even if it was only for a day. We hung out and then went shopping, and tried to figure out what we are going to use to teach our beautiful girls when we start school. I think we might have made so progress! But all in all our time together was priceless! And yes, we did go to Target that day. eekk!
* Saturday we were invited to two birthday parties. One was at Brown's pool, which Aryna LOVES, and we had a great time. The second party was for Karter who turned one. It was at Brianne and Duane's and all their family and friends were there. We hadn't seen any of them in 2 months, and we had a great time catching up. Friends are such a blessing to have.
* So, i think that wraps up the last two weeks. I feel empty without Steph here. It is going to be sooooo hard, but I think God is with us both and helping us through it all. I miss you Steph! I told her the other day that maybe God did this to us so that we would actually hug each other every now and then, and now we do! Every time we say good bye.
* Today was church. I am really enjoying our Pastor and this church. I think we are fixing to become member of it.
* I am BLESSED! so blessed.

Home

We are home. We got home Sun. night. Our trip was a blast! It is soooo good to see our family. Ray and David came to Tucson on Fri. to watch Aryna's VBS performance. Then Sat. morning we left good old Tucson, and my beautiful mommy :-( and headed for the great state of New Mexico. We got to spend a few hours with Ray parents and sister. Then we headed for my Dad's. But that night he happened to be singing at The Stage Door Grill. So we all got to go and hear my daddy sing and Great Grandpa get down on his fiddle. And I got to sing two songs with daddy. We had a great time there. Sunday we left Socorro and headed home. Some how it always takes longer to get home. But it is good to be home. The kids are having fun with all of their toys and I am still trying to get the house back in order and unpacked. But we are home now. Although I miss my mommy a lot!

Update

Wyatt has been using the potty a few time a day. Usually just when I take him. But I am very proud of him. I am not going to start potty training until he is TOTALLY ready, but we will just have fun with it till then.
It is HOT here in Tucson. 108 today. But we are having a good time. Enjoying ourselves and love spending time with my mommy. We have one more week here and this week is VBS. I am doing the crafts, so I have been busy getting everything ready for that. Hope all goes well.
Ray has also been busy while we are gone. Him and Dave and Will. Those guys are GREAT. I did make them 4 batches of chocolate chip cookie dough before I left (that is enough for 100 cookies). Those boys have done so much for me while I have been gone. The first week they put the roof on Arnya and Wyatt's club house thing one their swing set. They put a white metal one to match our roof. Then they ripped up the Capet in the living room and hall way, so we now have just concrete, but I think it will be better then that yucky carpet on our allergies. Next they built me a beautiful shelf for my bed room that will house me TV, that had been on the floor since Dec. So I am very proud of those boys. YAY! They are great.
So, this is my up date. hope you have a great day.
Verse for the day:
"Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people."
Colossians 3:23

Pottty

This morning, Wyatt (in his own language) told my mom, his Oma, that he had to go potty. I was in the back getting our laundry and I can in and my mom told me to come here. She said "Look what I am doing." And she was wiping Wyatt. He has peed and pooped in the potty. I was so proud of him...I guess he is smart after all. hehe

911

Calling 911 is one thing I never thought I would have to do. But it had to be done last night. We picked my 81 year old Grandma up from the home she is living in to take her and the kids to the park. We were all having a good time when my Grandma looked a little faint and feel to the ground. My mom caught her though and we had her sit there for a while. Then she said she wanted to get up. My mom and I looked for a place for her to sit down and found the closest one. While my mom was taking her there, she just melted in her arms. She made it to the seat and sat behind her propping her up since she was as limp as a leaf. We called 911 and while we were telling the dispatcher what happened, we had to check for a pulse many times. One time we really thought she died right there. The ambulance got there in minutes. And why are the paramedic always so darn good looking? And the nicest guys ever? Anyhow, long story short, Grandma is out of the hospital and doing well. Something about her blood pressure. And mom got to ride in the ambulance. Lucky her, I guess. So, 911 is a scary thing, but they were the nicest and made the whole experience as pleasurable as possible. Thank you 911 and the wonderful paramedics they have! They really are awesome!

And a side note: Wyatt was leaning on my mom's side table and leaned a little too hard. Mom has a heavy antique lamp made of metal with a glass shade that can tumbling on Wyatt. Mom also has a glass top on the table that is not attached on the table. My mom and I saw it all happen but it happened so fast, yet so slow...know what I mean? We tried to catch it, luckily the glass on the table didn't fall on Wyatt, just the lamp, which only broke on the glass part, which somehow won't be seen and Wyatt only cried a little. Through all of that, Aryna saw it all. While I was holding Wyatt as he cried, Aryna looked up and said "Thank you Jesus for keeping my brother safe". I was such a proud mommy! "Thank you Jesus!"
