To all my sister in-laws... I now feel your pain

Okay, so today is Will's birthday, and he asked my dear mother to make him dinner. So, my dear mother called me not 10 min ago asking Will to come out and get his b-day present b/c it was "too big" for her to carry in. Wondering what she got him I ran out to her car to find...
a CAT!!!! So, to all my sister in-laws I think that I now get the award for most annoying present given to your "child" even though he's not my "child" I still get the award.
To be honest I think that this little kitten will be Williams favorite present. He LOVES his little kitty and even if I DO NOT like cats, thanks Mom for giving him the cat!

Watching TV all by myelf..

Okay, so I'm sitting here (all by myself), thinking "I can watch whatever I want", well, figuring out what to watch by myself is proving harder than I thought. If only someone made a remote that flipped back and forth from three channels... I wouldn't be writing this now.
So, to end this story maybe having someone to fight over what you watch isn't so bad after all:)

My "emotional" day...

I hate to admit (not really "hate) that I had a rather emotional day (I sound like my Mom),
I was granted permission to keep my adorable little niece for the last three days and today was my last day with her (sniff~sniff).
We had so much fun playing in the garden, watching movies, reading books, fixing our hair,cooking, going out to lunch, shopping ... needless to sya we had tons of fun! I asked Micaiah if she was going to move to Nebraska and she said "yes", I asked if there were any cows on the ranch she's moving to and she said "There are green cows, deer and ELK!". When we woke up this morning she sat up, looked at me and said "I LOVE YOU!!!", ran into Joshua's room, jumped on his bed and he told her to tell me to make coffee and she said "otay" started to walk out, looked at Snosh and said "I love you Washa". How precious is my little Micaiah!?! She's so full of life and love. I love all my nieces and nephews and cherish every min I get with them. I would have 100 kids if only I knew they would be as adorable and sweet as my 12 nieces and nephew's. They are all so different, from Isaac(the oldest) down to Jude (the youngest). To have a heart of a child, to have that honest untainted love and affection. If we loved each other the way these little ones love us... what an amazing world we'd live in. We said our goodbyes when Nicole came to rip her out of our lives (J/K, but that's what it feels like), as she waved her tiny little hand I thanked God for my family.
When I was younger I never dreamed that I wouldn't live close to my brothers. Now that I'm supposed to be an adult I DON"T like it:( I always new times like these would come, I'm supposed to be the boss of the family and no one seems to be listening when I tell them what to do with their lives (like not moving away from me lol)! I can't figure it out... Now I'll have two brothers, two sister in-laws,two nephews and one neice living too far away to see every week.

On top of it being our last day with Micaiah... it was also Williams Senior day at school.
I couldn't help but thank God for the last 2 and a half years we've had Will. I didn't think we'd actually make it this far. But there we were, waiting for him to walk up and shake the principles hand. At this point I was filled with joy, just happy seeing him happy and ready to grow up. Then came the "emotions" when the Bishop told the kids to go thank their parents... He came over gave me a rose and had tears in his eyes, he hugged me for about a min and I lost it (well, as much I "loose" it). Joshua on the other hand... To see him growing up and starting to take "life" seriously, I know that no matter what anyone may say God gave us Will for a reason and I'm seeing it now. Most people don't understand the extent of our circumstances and that's okay. Some wondered why we'd give up our lives to take care of "just a cousin". He'll be 18 tomorrow and if anyone would have seen him three years ago... William will be an adult tomorrow. but you know what else? He'll still be my baby cousin that I love and would give up anything and everything for.
