Well we have been on a roll with birthdays at our home but I love it. Lots of cake & yummy things but I'm a firm believer in everyone gets something special of there own. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to make the kids cakes or whatever they choose. I can remember my Mom always baking my birthday cakes. It was always such a treat because she took the time to make it special for me. So I do the same for my children. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for Jennifer's birthday she wanted a chocolate cake. I had been on Facebook a few days before & saw this beautiful Sunflower cake. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Jennifer also had her first very own friend stay overnight. It was great & she was excited. Her friend wanted to take some cake home the next day so I gave her the rest of it for her family.<br />
<br />
Happy Happy Birthday Jennifer !!! Nine years old & so very very blessed. April 2nd 2004.<br />
<br />
Jennifer also is doing very well in school this year like always I'm so proud to have her for a daughter.<br />
<br />
Speaking of school the girls return tomorrow after being off for a three week break. I think they are ready to go back too.<br />

Wow , I was hoping to get back to blogging more often but that didn't happen ..........
So tonight I'm going to work on catching up ........
Well February is a bittersweet month as in my last post in Feb my first miscarriage in 2006 then my oldest child my son Ridge's birthday on February 28th. I know I'm so blessed through all of it.
Well we had Valentine's Day which was quiet didn't really have any plans just a nice dinner at home with all of us together.<br />
<br />
<br />
Friday the 15th was Lunch Bunch day at my daughter's school. I went to have lunch w/ Thaniqua & Jennifer. Just as I was getting ready to head out the door I got a phone call my sister in law was not doing well & they were air lifting her to Reno to a bigger hospital. I called my husband at work which he already knew what was going on. She had been in a nursing home since mid January. Lots of health issues going on. I had lunch with my girls then decided to just bring them home after lunch. When I got home my hubby had came home early too. Not long after we got the call she had passed away before she ever got to Reno. It was hard we had stayed with her when we first moved to Nevada. I know she is in a better place but still was hard.
I had this beautiful image made for her family.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JLJsAFlN7AA/UWJaIVpm8pI/AAAAAAAAG1s/6iznoMXbKsY/s1600/Helen+Snow+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JLJsAFlN7AA/UWJaIVpm8pI/AAAAAAAAG1s/6iznoMXbKsY/s320/Helen+Snow+(2).jpg" /></a>
Then on Feb 28th was Ridge's birthday he turned 13 years old. I actually have a teenager , WOW !!!! He also had a band concert that evening so we decided to wait & have his party on that Friday which was March 1st .<br />
<br />
Thaniqua wasn't feeling well the night of his concert so Paul took her to urgent care while I went with Ridge to the concert. Thaniqua being sick started the month of March off all of us were sick off & on that whole month. Lots of trips to the doctor but everyone is fine now. Thank you God , I rarely ever get sick but I lost my voice for over a week.
Thaniqua also had her birthday on March 27th & is now 11 years old. Can't believe she will go to middle school next year.<br />
<br />
Paul had to work a lot the last week of the month like usual but this time in 7 days time he worked 85.5 hrs. Way to much the pay is nice but hard on all of us. He had to work Easter Sunday too. I'm thankful for so much & that God is good providing work & watching over the health of our family.<br />
<br />
Here is my teenager , Ridge

Welcome to Week 3 of Walking With You
Share about your first steps back into life. What helped you survive in the world outside as you took those first tender steps? Are there still tender areas for you today, living in a world that doesn’t embrace or understand the loss of a baby/child? How do you cope with those struggles? What advice would you offer those new to this walk to encourage and bring hope? How has this changed for you from the beginning? If you are in early grief, what do you fear/struggle with as you try to navigate a new normal….life without your baby?<br />
<br />
It was so hard , I really didn't know what to say to anyone. So many people brushed off miscarriages like they were not really any life at all. I called my Mom after I was home from the hospital. She supported me & so did of course my husband. I had a wonderful friend that was understanding. I was thankful I had living children a 5 , 3 & 1 year old they kept me with a reason to smile everyday & get up & breathe.<br />
<br />
As I said in my last post I was thankful I had God even though I didn't understand why me ???
I prayed & always gave the new day the best shot I could. I returned to work after being off a week my boss was wonderful. He had no children but understood because his wife could not have children. I think he talked to everyone before I returned but there was still those looks , people whispering but I somehow made it.<br />
<br />
I'm usually a happy person , always joking having a good time at whatever. This has changed me & with every loss that happened after the first I was different. Today I'm different I hold my kids tighter , I love life more but I'm still thankful that God was always there. I know times I was mad & cried out WHY ME GOD ????<br />
<br />
I handle the struggle of the world by talking about my children all of my children when the time is right so I'm not hurt. My children freely talk about our losses & it helps all of us. They hurt to , I hurt , my husband hurts but keeping feelings in is wrong to & painful.<br />
<br />
Always remember talk out feelings & if you have no one to listen God will always be there he loves YOU always.
I do have one thing to say as I close I think as each step I take or new day passes I'm closer to life with them in Heaven.<br />
<br />
I love this verse also my favorite about Heaven
Revelation 21:4
New International Version (NIV)
4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”<br />
<br />
I'm also thankful for the BLM's I have met through blogging & on Facebook my life is forever changed but I know I am not alone in this life. Everyone of you that I have a special place in my heart & your children. I'm also very thankful for all the books I have read with Holly Haas , feelings that I was able to feel & for this wonderful Walking with You group.<br />

This week’s WWY topic ~ Clinging in the Pit
Whether or not you are new to loss, talk a bit about early grief. What was it like, clinging for hope in the pits of despair? What did you cling to for hope? How did you survive the early days? What helped? What do you wish you could share with someone new to this walk, clinging in the pit? If you’re in the pit, currently, share your struggles. What can others do to encourage you?<br />
<br />
It's been almost seven years since I had my first miscarriage. My second five years ago , then early Jan 2011 two years , then my most recent Dec 2011 just a year ago. All of them feel like like yesterday , I can remember everything exactly where I was & what I was doing.
It was so hard , so tough. My first was the worse I feel the hospital didn't treat me that well acted sorta like it was nothing. I will never forget that. I was scared so many thoughts went rushing through my mind. I remember laying on the bed in the ER waiting for a doctor to check me. I also remember praying & praying to God please somehow let things be okay even though down deep I knew.<br />
<br />
Leaving the hospital was hard I felt so many feelings , I remember taking a shower & screaming so loud my other children were not home thankfully they were at a friends so I could have a little time to compose myself before seeing them.<br />
<br />
In the days that passed after each miscarriage I found comfort in knowing one day I would see them , hold them FOREVER. I was also very thankful that even though it might be a long time before I would see those children in Heaven this is not the end. Being raised in a Christian home helped. I knew God loved me and this would only make me stronger somehow.<br />
<br />
I was also thankful for my three children I already had they gave me the reason to get up everyday & know that God is Good even through the pain.
Having a great support system & talking helped me.<br />
<br />
Most of all trusting God even though I didn't understand WHY my baby ???? I can remember my Mom telling me it's okay to cry & I still have moments I still cry. It will forever be a part of my life for they are my children & I miss them everyday. I know God will carry me through all this just as he has when it was the day they left me.<br />
<br />
A couple of my favorite verses since my losses :<br />
<br />
Deuteronomy 31:6
New International Version (NIV)
6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”<br />
<br />
Psalm 147:3
King James Version (KJV)

I found this picture on the web , so beautiful . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I look at this picture I see so much & how God makes so many things beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One year ago I lost my precious " Rosebud " . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My baby that I never got to feel move or touch but I know that I loved you just like I love all my other children. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So as I look at the water droplets I can also see tears in my eyes but I know just as God as promised this is not the end. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will hold you </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will play with you </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of all I will be together forever with you in Heaven. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you little Rosebud</div>

The children this morning listening to the Christmas story being read from the Bible before any presents were opened. My parents always started our Christmas morning like that & I enjoyed it every year.<br />

First I felt like writing my thoughts and yes I do get on Facebook quite a bit , after reading so much before the election it was hard this morning to see all the slamming & even defriending of people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is no way to bash anyone but just to get my feelings out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last night I watched the election w/ my family. Ridge , Thaniqua & Jennifer were all interested in it. I wasn't sure how it would all play out. Paul & I had talked before about the election and really which ever way it turned out we would take it. Ridge was the most interested in it all. He didn't like the ads & such against one another but we told him it was all part of the process. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So finally last night it came down to the winner </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mr Obama </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told the children that not everyone would be happy with this but then again if you didn't vote then I feel you have no reason to complain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also stated that I may not like everything Mr Obama says or likes but I'm not the President. I told the children that God is still above all & that through prayer & faith we are never alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This morning Ridge pointed out that so many people were saying that we need to pray & God help us. Well I told Ridge no matter who the president is we should be praying for our country. I really hope that since he was given a second term maybe he will do a better job or try some different things. I pray for our country & all the leaders .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
God has it all in his hands anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just my feelings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

My children's school turned 20 years old in September. So the school has a ice cream social every September so this year they changed it up & had a birthday party. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was fun & soooooooooo YUMMY !!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The year round school has been around for 40 yrs or better from what I have been told. It really is a wonderful school. I know I said it has been 40 yrs but they built a new school which is now 20 yrs old hope that makes sense. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was all free cake & ice cream you could eat. They also invited a lot of the older teachers back that had retired so nice to see a good turnout from everyone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sad part to this school year is the district wants to take it away & go back to regular school calendar which I do not agree with so there is small group of parents that are trying very hard to show the district ways to prove our point. I'm really praying that they don't lose this. I know as a parent my children have learned so much in this school & following the year round plan. I could talk forever about this but going to stop & put it in God's hands. </div>

Thaniqua surprised me by wanting to try out for a part in the school play. It was called " Character Matters ".<br />
She got the part of Mama Bear. It was a play that had to deal w/ kids & bullying . It was awesome so proud of her.<br />
