Onica Lynne

I cannot believe it has been almost a whole year since we had to say "goodbye" to our little Miss Onica.

Wow, still hurts like yesterday...

We hope you enjoy the 'memories'...

"I need MY Gramma!"

Grandma Lillie w/Tiny-T & baby Onica...

Tiny-T gets up from her nap yesterday and comes stomping out into the living room and yells out "I need MY Gramma!"

I ask her "Why?"

"I need to hugs & kisses her!" (Tiny-T)

These are the moments you live for... (I think 'gramma' would agree)

My Lancings...

Here is the AWESOME Daddy-Duck!

I was going to post OUR picture... we don't have a recent picture together.

We are constantly take the ducklings pictures but not ours... hmmmm.

That's how it goes at the crazy pond we call home.

See that girl...

Tiny-T my Dancing Queen...

The house is quiet. The ducklings are in their rooms playing nicely with toys and all the world is calm and right. I don't like the TV to be on, so usually after some quiet time I will turn on the stereo and blast out some thumpin' music. Maybe two notes into the song here comes Tiny-T running full speed for the living room. The girl LOVES music. She also loves to dance. She is already into her dance routine by the time she finds her place right in front of the entertainment center, where she can dance and watch herself in the blank screen of the TV.
She dances the entire time loudly proclaiming that "This is MY song..." each time a new song starts. She likes to hold hands and then she feels brave enough to jump around and know that she won't fall.
People who meet her for the first time say things like, "She is so quiet. Does she ever talk?" To which I usually laugh hysterically and say, "She is either talking or singing from the moment she wakes up until she finally falls asleep each night."
I think that Tiny-T will be on broadway someday...
that is how I will finally get a trip to New York City!

Just Can't Wait to be King!

The Tank displaying some of his 'wildlife' collection...

(dinosaurs from his birthday)

I am waiting for the laundry to finish so I can switch out loads.... AGAIN. Sitting in the "office" section of my room I hear the Tank sing out, "Oh I just can't wait to be KIIIIIIING!" Yes, 'The Lion King' is the movie of choice this morning. Then I hear him scampering to my room... "Mom, I want to go to 'Safari'." I remind the Tank that we were just at the wildlife safari a little over a month ago... without missing a beat, "Then I need to go to the Zoo. We never been there in a LONG time."

We'll go soon big man. The Tank LOVES his animals!

Professing her love...

I love you for forever and ever and ever and ever...

Fan-C came up to me after general conference ended this evening. She said that she wanted me to know that she loved me. I told her that I loved her too. She then turned to me and said, "Even when you are dead, I will still love you."

Well Fan-C I am glad that I have your love for forever...

Drum Roll Please....
