Wow This is March

I have not updated this thing for a month now. I hope to get some pictures added this weekend. We are stamping at a friends on Saturday morning.

Not much new in Iowa except lots and lots of snow. I really can't remember when we have had this much in such a short time. What a change. At Christmas it was like it was spring out and now it is like a winter wonderland.

March is a good month for me and a hard month for me. My son was born on March 16 and what a joy he has been to me all these years (he does not have access to this blog so that I can say that about him.) He has been old beyond his time since he was little. He has started his own company with his best friend and I think they are going to do great as they are so different. Corey is calm, cool, and nothing bothers him. My DS, Dain, wants everything done yesterday and just can't understand why it can't be that way. They have both provided me with three lovely grandsons ( see Corey has been around so much that I consider him mine) Twin boys (Cory's ) They are 6. Then the blond bomber who has really lived up to the mother curse. He is the spitting image of both of his mother and his father in temperment and looks. He is very tiny in nature unlike his dad (but very like his mom). He wants everything yesterday. Sorry I am rambling.

The hard part is that my mother passed away in March and I miss her every day. She was wonderful and one of a kind. She was old fashion in a lot of ways, but she was so warm and loving. We did butt heads during my teenage years but I think that is common. We shopped, talked, cried, and laughed together. She fought cancer for 30 years and fought a wonderful uplifting fight. I hope if I ever have to fight that battle that I can be even just a quarter of the woman she was. She would have surgery, get out of the hospital, get her hair done (because you always feel better when your hair is done), and head to church. She may have been sick, but only a few knew just how sick. Even at Hospice she tried to send us home to get some rest so we would not get sick, but my brother and I could not leave her alone. She was a wonderful woman and I was truly blessed by her being in my life and being my mom.

Well enough yaking. There Karie and Robin I updated my blog!!!! Pffffft
