Ramblings of Wife, Mother & Romantic

Archive for April, 2009

I finally did it, i went to my favorite blogger/ jewelry craftswoman’s etsy shop tonight and was able to snag a ring FINALLY i have been trying for about 3 months now…i still will be keeping an eye out for her custom order so i can have her make my ocean jasper ring i am longing for.

but this is the one i got, its amazing and i look forward to its arrival, i probably wont EVER take it off….i will wear it raking the yard i will wear it out on the town….Thank you dear Rudy for fronting the moolaa…i best get me a job so i can feed this addiction of mine.

I love when out of the blue something unexpected happens, well i suppose the happy unexpected preferably. Yesterday we had the opportunity to welcome another doggie into the korv brood….Penny a three year old basset hound!

I know i am so going to enjoy photographing this sweet gal….

Its been quite the ruckus around my house, when ever they hear a door slam or a knock on the door it sounds like a kennel…they all three start barking and howling, Penny has the loudest bark/howl i have ever heard from a smallish dog.

In the future you can expect alot more photos of this lovely little girl…..

You all can make fun of me, but i love my doggies…i am definitely a animal person….i would have my home filled to the brim if i could….a bunny could be in our near future, and Lord willing someday i pray to own a Horse, goats, chickens, ducks and maybe goose who knows what God’s plans are for my life, i do know HE knows the desires of my heart!

There is just no other way to do this, but post a massive amount

of photos at once…hope you don’t mind….

I told the kids that if they fell in the fish would eat them, it

still didn’t stop Ian from trying to crawl under the chains.

My tree children

Oh the things i do to torture my children…they look all happy

but what you can’t hear is me telling them to smile

and look like they are having fun. hehe

The love’s of my life, they have made me into who I am today

Laughing at Amber….

Ian takes the BEST photos…i just want to kiss that face

I can’t take any credit for this amazing photo, Amber took it with my camera….along with the one below

They loved listening to this man, he was playing ‘over the rainbow’

Adia teaching Amber all her crazy hand games she knows,

it was quite entertaining to say the least

I win, you loose, now you get a big fat bruise

Even though living in Arizona is not my choice place to reside, it is beautiful

Man, we really do look good together

I love this one of daddy and the kids….so darling

playing in the fountain….grand fun, every child should do this at least once in their life

Ian hardly knew what to do with himself

Our day out was thoroughly enjoyable….later on we went and got dairy Queen then took the dogs to the dog park….i love days out spent with my Family…nothing makes me happier…I love my Family so much, they bring me such joy!

So yes, i really should be in bed drifted to sleep right now,
but i felt the urge to blog, i had a thought today that i
almost twittered, but in mid text i thought better
of it and decided to wait till i could go into
detail.....

PETUNIA'S....have you ever smelled a petunia? Not just the walk by
them and catch a whiff, but got down on your
hands and knees, stuck your little nose right into one
of the blossoms and inhaled all the sweet sent you could handle?

If this is something you have not yet done in your life,
you have NOT lived life to the fullest.

Let me describe to you, what thoughts float through my head
when i do this....A long driveway, gray colored gravel...
lined with these sweet smelling flowers....green grass...
swaying trees...Grandma's House!
Every time i smell a Petunia this is what it brings to my mind..
every single time...i can hear the squeak of the screen door
that went from the garage into the house, the stairs leading down
to the basement, the musty smell of books, cool damp air, Grandma's
kitchen, the smell of marshmallows in her snack cupboard.
Sitting in the living room, hearing a goose honk next door at
'MaryAnns' the chimes of the bells at the church down the road.

Walking down the brick path that led to the barn, dunking into
the barn, the soft squishiness of the years worth of hay on the
floor, the smell of molasses and oats,creed pushing
his soft nose in my face, pressing mine up against his
mane, smelling as hard as i could, soaking in all
in,  sitting, hidden in
between the bales of hay praying God would let me
live there forever, never to go home, praying over and over.
All of this stems from one little flower...thousands of
memories, over only a hand full of summers, never enough time,
never satisfied, always wanting more...never the choice.

Although i never got the full enjoyment i desired to experience
at my Grandma's house, God in His all knowing, loving kindness,
gave us the ability to have memories triggered by smells...
memories that pop into our heads with one little whiff.
Some memories we could have forgotten for years, and then
out of the blue, we could walk into a store we have never been
to and feel a sense of 'being' there before or a connection
to that smell.
God is so good, that i may never see my Grandma's house again,
certainly not in the same way when i was 11, but just by planting
beautiful flowers in my yard, i can remember and feel like i
was standing on her front porch.

Yes i know i am late, that we are nearing the dreaded Arizona summer, but i started a greenhouse of tomato plants …and they started budding…ever so cute…

I can almost taste my Yummy tomatoes….sliced tillamook cheese and home grown tomatoes, i just might be in heaven

When we party man, we PARTY!

Nothing says good fun like watching kids play video games

THREE HOT MAMA’S

Man we look good

Throw a Adia in for the fun of it

Ok add a little ‘Honey’ in for good measure

My personal Favorite, not sure if Shell will agree

I’m tellin’ ya, it was ‘THIS’ big

How can any good party be complete with out good o’l coffee in the best darn looking mugs i’ve ever laid eyes on

Ok, now this one just scares me, what are the glowing green dots on Michells head….? she doesnt look to thrilled either

This is a face that haunts me, i dream of her…i want her as my own, but for some odd reason her Mother wont let me have her….Please!!!!!

This face on the other hand IS mine…oh my sweet, my darling, lovely Adia…

I wonder who Michell is yelling at? Most likely that sweet darling Honey!

Can Adia ever take a photo with a serious look on her face?

I think Ian took this one, hence the cropping off of adia’s head…but Tasha looks rockin’

There are no words

That is an evil look on my son’s face

Girls

I’ll end on my favorite…Love, true love is what brings us together today!!!

All in all this Easter was probably the BEST in history, I love having good friends over, yummy food, hanging out…good times

The Three bambinos

When i watch this, it makes me want to cry, laugh, shout, jump, run, sing, pray, love, YELL all at the same time.

This is MY KING!!!!!!!

We need to watch this daily, or even have this written somewhere we can read it every day…this is the God we serve, this is what should get us through, give us hope, and joy!

Is it OK to be amazed at myself? Well i am, for finally posting…and i come bearing gifts of Photos for your viewing delights, loads and loads….

I suppose i shall begin with the most recent and then move backwards with some from a few weeks ago that have been waiting ever so patiently to be shrunk & then posted.

The Korv's

My dear sweet children, taken Palm Sunday 4-6-09
Looking their very best, they sang in the children's program during
church.

I don't think i EVER get a photo where at least one of them is
not making a silly face of some sort

Just you wait Mom....

Yes is was a glorious day at the Korv household, we have a blessed
day at church worshiping our Lord....

Satan tried really hard to get me worked up and discouraged
today, not only were my babies in the program but i also
 was doing a song with some other people and had a verse me and
Greg sang together, plus i sang P&W during the 10:30 service and
played bass at the end of service...I'm a jack of all trades
you might say...har har

The Service was Anointed, Pastor Dan was on fire and excited,
People got saved, and were blessed. quite a few things came up
during the course of the day, i did OK handling it, i could
have done better and now that i know my children are being attacked
i will be on guard, Satan has no say in my family...my children
are mighty men and woman of God.

The rest of my week is going to be good and blessed....

Please disregard my nasty rippled thumb nail....i even went to
the doctors and they don't even know why they grow like that...eeww

We are turning into the animal family…….this is our newest

addition to the family…Lennon has named him/her

‘ Puddles’  he comes up with quite the names huh?

Last night when i let the dogs out to go potty, they started chasing something around the patio, and caught it, i saw something furry in Rustys mouth and started freaking out, i don’t do well with dead things, or near dead things, I yelled for Rudy, and he took care of it for me….apparently i think the dogs just wanted to play with it, cause the poor little guys scared as he was is UN harmed….I researched what to feed it, and we picked up some milk that you give kittens, and was able to get it to eat a few drops….tomorrow i am calling the humane society, i am not even sure if it is legal to keep a wild animal as a pet or if it will survive in captivity.  She’s a sweet thing though and i think she loves me.

don’t you just want to brush your face up to this sweet like face?

darn baby animals, why do they have to be so cute….i have a feeling as my kids grow up and are able to help take care of animals we are going to have hoards of them….i might need to live on a farm, i am not allowed to keep ducks and chickens in the city limits….how very rude is that…doesn’t everyone enjoy the sounds of ducks quacking to wake them up in the morning?

Now that i have a whole folder of re-sized photos waiting to be posted i might get to them quicker, but it is now 12:46am and i am sleepy….ta ta my chickadees
