(Secret things are so fun…and mysterious)

I long to live on a big ranch somewhere in the country.  I married the right man, this could work out eventually.

I love to be surrounded by friends and have big parties, not too convenient if I live on a ranch far away….humm….

I want a home where anyone can stop by at anytime and feel like they are HOME.  Ya know what I mean?  I want that kind of house, I want to be that kind of person.

I love being a mother, but don’t think I am very good at it most days.  I think this might be common-at least I secretly hope.  shh…

I can dance like a rap-guy’s girlfriend.  I can shake my groove thang…just say’n

I know that I do too much, but I get bored fast.  I keep busy to keep happy.  Creating makes me excited about life. Example- www.lynnspin.com

I really am determined to get in the best shape of my life!  I start working out with a trainer in two weeks.  Kick my butt!

I try to cherish the people in my life daily.  I squeeze them extra tight and let my self love them extra hard-deep in my heart for just a moment each day. ( I let the love soak up in my chest) You may think this is strange, someone once told me this is strange; but when you grow up with a sister who has a chance of being gone the next day- you learn to love a little harder, because you know all too well that eventually they might be gone.   I saw a lot of kids my own age, younger, and older pass away.  We grew up around a lot of cancer kids.  I love deeply in honor of them and because of my big sis.  She looks great bald. Beautiful.

I recently learned to love reading.  I don’t think I can stop myself now…so many good books to discover!  Exciting!  Stay up till 5am exciting

I love to eat tart desserts. And I love a good chicken chimichanga.  Shredded chicken.  Saying chimichanga is really fun too.  Say it, I dare ya

My two most embarrassing moments- hmmm… one involves farting in front of my in-laws, before they were “my in-laws”  and no little dainty fart my friends.  I literally cleared the room.  And the other involves me diving head first under a department store chain door at the mall.  Ask me later.  These might remain in my secret vault.

I really really suck at spelling and grammar.  I really really don’t care either haha, kinda sad, lol.  That’s not really a secret, but this is.  I once spelled “of” – “OVE”  lol and up to about two months ago I spelled “spelled” -”spelt”  and couldn’t figure out why spell check always said it was incorrect.  HAHAHA….

My biggest pet-peeve is gum, gum chewing, and gum smell.  Yucky.

Tomorrow is my 5 year anniversary with my dream man.  I am still sooo in love   That’s not a secret though, I will yell it out loud on a mountain top or some place tall.

I LOVE DEV!

Oh baby – Oh baby – Oh

And GOOD JOB on your comments lately- I am very impressed!  I get like 4 a post…not too bad (brushing my shoulders off)  …not to shabby        ME LIKES!

Add one of these and I will hug you and kiss you!- Probably just a hug

Adventures in Charlie- Land.  Never dull.

Charlie Loves to play with her friend Brooklyn. They are quite the dress-up queens.  haha.

Charlie looks like Madonna- Strike a Pose!

They did my hair too.  My eyes watered just a little   From the tugging of little fingers

I don’t know how to get rid of red eyes…can someone tell me? (above pic of Charlie)

Here are these two crazies at the zoo earlier that day.

Their dads were fishing together on a charter boat, so we went and had a fun day too.

Thanks Chanel, Brooklyn, and cute baby Gaige!

Thanks for taking this pictures Katie!!

Loves to smile for the camera

Loves to garden with dad

Loves to make “dinner” for everyone

Loves to play outside and have adventures

She drives me crazy some days, but I can’t help but love her and her big personality

And as for the title of this post.  Today I can’t help but be overwhelmingly grateful for my beautiful and healthy children.  I am glad Charlie’s temp is back down, and I am glad she is such a happy, fun loving, wild woman.  And she is allllll mine.  Oh I love my babies.

And I am grateful for the man that helped my make these beautiful babies   I could not have dreamed I would marry someone so kind.

college days

I referenced our “inside umm… joke”  a few posts back and I thought I would let you in on my little embarrassing secret.  Well, here it is:

After Dev and I got married we went on a lovely little date to the pottery painting place and decided to make a salsa dish as seen here.

After three years, one child, and one more on the way, we finally finished our dish.  I was pregnant when I made this mistake…maybe that makes this a little better.  ANYWAY, the last touch was to write yum… on the inside.  Or yummy.  But when we picked up our dish and looked inside we discovered I wrote LOOK BELOW

Yeah…    “Umm…”  umm… this is delicious    That works right   Oh well, it makes us laugh every time we look at it.  Silly Lynnie
