If I were tiny just like you
I'd creep among the flowers too!

The Magical and Mystic Monkey (WHOA!!)

Meisyn was commissioned to complete her very first art piece.  When I told her about her commission proposal she BEAMED. She exclaimed, "Oh I am very good drawing. I can do a great, great job for her". She wanted to know what the new mama and her waiting son looked like so I showed her this picture.
 

The mother had one requirement, "My only request for Meisyn is that she designs my art piece. I don't care if it is a house, a princess or a future hamster. There aren't any colors that I dislike and she has free range. As long as it comes from her, I know I will love it. Just please remind her that artist sign and date their work." 

Thus began the interpretations between the mother, Laura, and myself, Stefani

I am curious as to why all the Americans in the picture are drinking sodas? Benjamin Maurice would rather play with an octopus. Cracks me up.

Ha! I just noticed the monkey climbed the apple tree and came away with a banana. Isn't that life?

I LOVE that symbol. Yes, that is life in a nutshell...or an apple seed. You get what you totally did not expect.
Meisyn shared with me something else about the monkey that both of us missed. Note the monkey is sideways. This is because, "The monkey is falling...oh no! Don't fall monkey! But its okay cause hims (meaning all your family) will catch monkey. Then monkey is safe"
I believe this is the most symbolic meaning of all...

That is the best thing I have heard in a long, long time. I feel like I want to sit down with her so she can teach me the meaning of life. Well, maybe at least a new way to look at it. For a moment, I can almost imagine what a beautiful place this world would be if we looked at it through the eyes of Meisyn.
Did I by chance send you the most recent picture I received of Ben in the red sweat suit taken outside?

Say what????? I am falling off my chair now. I never showed Meisyn this picture of him. She only saw the referral ones of him in the rainbow pants. Oh my soul HE IS WEARING A MONKEY SHIRT AND PANTS!!  Makes what she said about the Monkey even more fitting. "but its okay cause hims will catch Monkey. Monkey will be safe." I am in awe.

I just LOVE this pet....WAHHH! Hamster video

Sand Bucket List #9 PET A HAMSTER or HAVE A HAMSTER FOR A PET have both been met.   A hearty THANK YOU to 16 year old Elyse from Minersville who loaned us her hamster for the week.  What a cool thing!  Elyse, you brought her the biggest smile and I hope that this will bring a smile to you, because it might make you worry.

DISCLAIMER:  No hamsters were (intentionally) harmed while filming this video.  Just shaken up a bit. So very, very sorry Elyse!!

Then we had cute Katie give Meisyn her teddy bear hamster Mickey.  He is all kinds of fun.

Shayna's little FAVORITE friend

Today Meisyn was SO thrilled that it was day to wear her favorite color, PURPLE just for her!! It was SO awesome to see how many people wore purple in Meisyn's honor at her school. She sure has a LOT of people who just absolutely LOVE and ADORE her! But who doesn't right? ;) We also had one PURPLE-licious family photo shoot and me and ALL the siblings and the parents got their very own picture taken with Meisyn. When it was my turn, I've never seen someones face just fill with so much excitement just to take a picture with me.  She not only puts a smile on my face, but she has taught me so much and has shown me what this life really does have to offer. I will forever be grateful for Meisyn and for her teaching me how valuable peanut M&M's and a purple sparkly one dollar bracelet are.

I LOVE YOU FOREVER PRINCESS MEISYN!! <3 <3

Love Always,
Shayna 



Meisyn Comforts Makayla


 Shared from Big Sister Makayla's Facebook status tonight.  The strength of the baby sister to the elder, sob.  Today is PURPLE DAY in Meisyn's honor.  Her whole school has been invited to wear purple.  We will have our family pictures taken tonight...in purple of course...per Meisyn's request.

We have not given up on the LIFE of our baby girl but we feel the ever hastening direction to "Hurry.  Prepare. Make Memories.  Do Not Delay."

Makayla gets married on Saturday, June 8, 2013.  Meisyn is the Maid of Honor.
 
"As excited I am about the wedding coming up, my heart is breaking. The closer it gets, my sweet sister gets weaker.

Yesterday Meisyn and I had conversation about people wearing purple! She asked if i was wearing purple, I cried and said " of course" While i was crying, i can see that she was trying to hold her tears. She hugged me and told me that she is excited to walk and meet heavenly fath...er. I cried even more! I couldn't talk. I sat there crying she held my hand out and said " It's okay, I will be watching you with heavenly father" I told her to come play in my dreams" and wanted to race, dance play soccer" We both laughed. As i was helping her down from my bed she said" When you dream, I will visit you a lot AND say BOO" LOL

I was scared for while BUT after listening and letting her comfort me. I'm not scared because she said " She will be walking and running and meet heavenly father" :)))))))))))))

Cheers to you SIS!!!!!!  Love Makayla"


FAMILY, FOREVER, FOR ALWAYS, NO MATTER WHAT
