Faith if she was excited to go back to school tomorrow. Her response? "Why

just got done playing Apples to Apples as a family. Dad decided to pull down
Kate's shorts and Dawson starts screaming, "You've just killed my eyes! I

funny tonight from Dawson. "Mom, is it true that in the olden days that if
a boy and a girl got married that the girl would take on the boy's family name?"
February 11th - This
morning Faith and I were having a conversation that maybe we should eat a
little something before we work out. She said, "I can't do that because
Kate has ears like a ninja and Dawson IS a ninja!"
February 23rd - Kate
today in church, (now 7), says, "Is Brother Porter the Bishop?" I
laughed and said, "No. He's a counselor honey." Kate replies,
"Is that like a butler or something?"
March
March 9th - So today we
caught Dawson sitting on the top of Brandon's truck signaling 'I've got my eye
on you' to another truck that drive by our house. I looked over just in time to
witness this and to see the passenger signal in the same way to Dawson 'I've
got my eye on you!'
And in case you found that funny, keep reading. At Grandma Kathy's house,
he says, he thought of something great to do and when another car drove by, he
thought, 'this is the time to show that I'm very special!' Then he broke out
doing the sprinkler dance.
March 29th - Dawson
today, "I wouldn't be a pescetarian full time but I would do it part

April 5th - Looking
through old pictures of Faith today. One in particular is special! Faith says,
"I was under amnesia!" The correct term would be anesthesia!
May
May 17th - Dawson (10
years) asked me this afternoon if I was having a baby. When I said no and asked
why he asked, he said, "You've sure been craving chocolate enough!"

working out and hitting the gym again.

today, "If I came home and if the walls were smothered in cake, I would
not be surprised one bit!" Funny boy - maybe having cake is in order!

says "This is my man hole". Couldn't stop smiling.

the prayer tonight, Dawson said, "Please bless Zoey and Brandon that they
will be comforted in their jobs." So hard not to laugh when your kids

September 11th - My
sweet Dawson today was telling me about kids that were not behaving in class
today. In his own words after he told me that they were moved from their desks
right then and there, he said, "It was the taste of sweet justice. I knew
justice was going to get them. And yes! Justice did. Taste justice suckers!"

"Wow Faith! You're old!" She says, "Thank you! That's what every
women likes to hear!" He says, "I mean mature." She says,
"I don't feel like I will ever be more mature than I am right now!"

we clean up Christmas, Kate noticed an older stocking. She said, "It's
pink and princess. I'm too old for that stuff!"
Quotes:
Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and
the thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness
within you, even when you don't see it yourself.
Never stress over what you can't control.
"The longer I
live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is
more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education,
than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other
people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or
skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable
thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that
day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will
act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do
is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that
life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with
you... we are in charge of our Attitudes” Charles Swindoll
If you allow people to take more withdrawals then deposits in your
life, you will be out of balance and in the negative. Know when to close the
account.
As we grow up, we realize that it is less important to have lots of
friends and more important to have real ones. - Amanda McRae
When people try and rain on your parade, poke them in the eye with
your umbrella.
The "stuff" that's happening in your life: there are lessons
to learn and strengths to gain; that's why it's happening. Sue Fitzmaurice,
author
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." Sir
Edmund Hillary
Happiness is an inside job.
Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather
than a piece of our mind.
Be thankful for the bad things in life. For they opened your eyes to
the good things you weren't paying attention to before!
"Lesson one. Sometimes being right doesn't matter." - Girl
on a Wire
Why do we close our eye when we pray, cry, kiss, dream? Because the
most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt only by heart.
We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to
see an imperfect person perfectly.
Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you
in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The one who would do
anything to see you smile & who love you no matter what.
A physician once said, "The best medicine for humans is
love." Someone asked, "What if it doesn't work?" He smiled and
said, "Increase the dose."
Instead of saying, "Lord I don't know how I am going to do
this," say, "Lord, I can't wait to see how you do this."
"Don't go to college just to collect a degree. Search for
something you love and pursue it with passion." Dave Ramsey
