I can feel it

I can feel springs rite around the corner!!!!  Woo hooo I LOVE spring time.  I love the warm weather and the spring storms. I love the time change and getting an extra hour of daylight.  I love going to the park after I get home from work or going on a bike ride with my son. The three of us love to watch storms and storm "chase."  I live in Oklahoma so we are right in the middle of Tornado alley.  We don't get tornados very often, but there are watches or warnings nearly everyday during this time.  The devastation of a tornado is not something to joke about and is certainly not fun but the thrill of chasing a storm or just watching it pass over is extremely exciting.  When I say storm I don't mean tornado. Oh no I would be in my basement if a tornado was actually passing over!!  I have actually only seen a handful of tornados in my lifetime and that is enough.  What about you guys? Do you like Spring? Do you like to watch storms? Do you have tornados where you live?  If not what other kind of natural disatures do you have to worry about?

Reminders

Friday at lunch I had to go to the post office for my job.  By the way I HATE the post office.  Line out the door and one worker = a forty five minute wait.  I don't know why I let it bother me it's not like i'm not getting paid to stand in line and wait.  Who likes to wait though even if they are getting paid?  Super uber annoying!  Anyway while I was standing there waiting I heard the most precious laugh I hadn't heard in along time.  You know that sweet little  belly laugh that seems to happen right around when a baby is 6-9 months?  So I looked over and noticed a mother standing in line hold her precious little baby girl who was just laughing  away at what i'm still not too sure.  I couldn't help but look for a minute and laugh myself.  Then I remembered Alex at that age...oh how it seems just like yesterday and now in two months he will be 9! Everyone tells you that you "forget" your child ever being that small.  I never knew what that meant until he started growing up.  I always just shook my head but inside I was like "whatever I will NEVER forget this!"  Well hmmm you do forget! I mean you KNOW they were that small, but you just simply forget what it felt like to hold them.  So then a few minutes after I had my Alex flash back I of course started feeling sorry for myself.  I started longing to hold a baby once again and hear that sweet belly laugh.  Then something popped into my head that I have never really given much though to and it made me very sad.  What if I never have a baby? What if Alex never has a sibling that he can become close to?  How sad would that be? Luckily I was snapped back to reality before things got too ugly when the counter lady said "next!".  Whew saved by the bell so to speak.  I guess i'm doing a little better...I haven't had a pity party since here.  Yay!
Well I hope you guys had a great weekend!! 

Pictures count as a post rite?

I love my family!!!!

Wow has he changed or what?!  My baby is growing up...

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend!  We are just enjoying spending time together and playing outside in this beautiful weather we are having!!

Simple pleasure

I love this picture. I think his face says it all!

How did I forget?

How did I forget to ask the doctor about Clomid while I was at my appointment  when that was the whole point of going??  Well maybe not the whole point but it was a big reason I went.  How did I sit there for over an hour and simply forget? I just don't know...wow maybe I really am getting old.  Oh well I plan to make another appointment soon.  I tried calling just to see if maybe by chance that would be something that could be called in..ha ha ha. Not a chance!  I'm convinced they just want my moolah.

Oh yes, before I forget, head on over to the Smith Family Scoop to see how you can participate in the Carnival that is being held for sweet little Gavin's medical fund!!

Have a blessed weekend!!

Challenge

I love blogging.  I love everything about it...the writing, the freedom to express my thoughts, the friends I have made and most of all I love reading your stories!  I'm kinda lazy though when it comes to the actual writing part.  I have good intentions, but somehow someway life just happens and I don't make time.  So I am challenging myself.  Today is March 4th and I am planning to write a post each and every single day until April 4th.  Who knows maybe I might even surprise myself and write a couple of posts a day here and there!  How about you guys? Up for the challenge?!

Hope

I am hoping this month is the month I see two lines. I'm praying this is the month I see two lines.  Do I have faith that I will see two lines?? Not really.  Hmmm are hope and praying the same as faith?  I have never thought about it this way. I mean if I have faith in God while i'm praying then I should have faith right?  Ugh I don't know the answer.
