Proud Momma


Today I came home from a long day of work to find a clean house, fresh picked roses and the sweetest love note you've ever seen.


Vikki, you raised one heck of a son! Not only is he so smart and extremely good looking,

he's got a heart of gold.

So this little poem is just for you....


To my other mother,


You're the other mother I recieved

the day I wed your son.

And I just want to thank you, Mom,

For the loving things you've done.

You've givin me a gracious man

With whom I share my life,

You are his lovely mother,

and I his lucky wife.

You used to pat his little head

And now I hold his hand.

You raised in love a little boy,

And then gave me a man.



Thank you for all you do. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful Mother.

Here's to you, Lilarae!



Last night the Lyman clan headed to Nephi for the Ute Stampede. We had so much fun! The show started with a guy sky diving down with a huge flag behind him. It was amazing. Once he landed, several army men/women ran and caught the flag as a little boy sang the national anthem.


Of course it had all the classics of a great rodeo. Roping, riding, and Mom's big bag of treats. She's really the best!

This picture was taken by special request for Ms.Lilarae. We didn't want you to miss all the excitement of the rodeo. Here is a nice picture of the soda guy with a little extra show for you.

And of course, no family outting is complete without a ton of family pictures!

How Lucky You Are...

I came across this randomly one day.
Its actually a song and I am now very much in love with it

In the wonderful words of Dr. Seuss....

------------------------------------

When the news is all bad,
When you're sour and blue,
When you start to get mad
You should do what I do-

Tell yourself
How lucky you are...

When your life's going wrong
When the fates are unkind
When you're limping along
And get kicked from behind
Tell yourself how lucky you are...

Why decry a cloudy sky
An empty purse
A crazy universe?
My philosophy is simply
Things could be worse!

So be happy you're here.
Think of life as a thrill

And if worse comes to worse
(As we all know it will)
Thank your lucky star
You've gotten this far...
