New pictures and getting ready for Santa tonight!

Wow I have neglected my blog *blush*. Anyway today is Christmas Eve and the buzz has hit home LOL. We are ready this year and can't wait to see what santa brings.

Need to update!

It has been too long! Thanksgiving came and went, it was everything good bad and ugly. Things are good and back to normal. I didn't take many pictures due to having my hands full but it was a wonderful meal if I do say so myself. The kids really enjoyed having their cousins over and my cousin Shanny stayed later and talked with us it was a lot of fun! I sure do love and appreciate our family.

Holidays

Are coming up fast! We are planning on having our families here. Yes I said families and yes I am nuts! Wouldn't have it any other way either, my in laws and my family get along really well so why not? Lots of good food and company, the more the merrier it would seem :)

Dang it!

So fall is here and I know it more than ever because the sickness is here. Seems like we get one person feeling better to have another fall ill. Brooklyn is running a fever today and her stomach hurts! Gahhh!

Just been....

Having lots of fun! We had the flu last week and Mark and I seemed to be the worse ones for the wear. I was sick for a full 4 almost 5 days. It was a lot on him to help out and still work but I am grateful for him, don't know what we would have done without him. I have a few pictures to share.

More scrapbooking! Well one page

I need more pics to do! LOL I should go back through all of our old pics but don't have that all in me yet HAHA!

Some scrapbook pages......

Crazy kids!

So the kids and Sammie were playing with markers and drawing pictures. I was teasing them and asked who wanted a mustache? Well they all did LOL. It went from there, they wanted a harry potter scar and "blood". I took some pictures because they thought they were super scary LOL. So here they are in all of their glory!

New pictures! And boys birthday party!

We had the boys party a bit early this year but it was nice. They made out like little bandits. Preston turned 2 on Sunday, he is sure onery lately. Kind of reminds me of his dad LOL. It is going to be winter here before we know it I think, it is sooo cold. Thursday Chris will be 8! It is hard to believe, Brooklyn feels so left out because her birthday is not until January. It is hard to tell a 3 year old why that is! Anyway here are some new pictures, hope you like them.

New work!

Life is truely too short.....

Today my best friend called me and told me her father had passed away. I know it is a normal part of life. We are born to die, but we always wonder why and how come so soon. I know these are questions our lord can only answer. I am sitting here wondering what kind of comfort I can offer here and I am dumbfounded, I feel like I need to do something for her......anything. I just went through a death last week and it always just throws me for a loop. I am hoping and praying she can make it through this tough time.

Been crazy!

The last week of August was crazy for us. We got word that my grandma was sick and probably not going to make it. So we went to see her on the 23rd and that was very hard to see her like that, but I needed to do it. We told her it was okay to go home. She could hardly talk or move, she had another stroke. She ended up going home August 25th around noon. And we are all sad and yet happy for her at the same time. She looked amazing at her funeral. I helped my mom, sisters, cousins and unlce sing a song for her called "going home" and amazingly it helped me be at peace. She was buried on August 29th a day before my 32nd birthday. We had a party here afterward which I didnt take pictures of unfortunately. School finally started for Christopher on August 31st and he has really enjoyed the first week, his teacher is really awesome. So anyway here are some photos to share. Also would like to thank friends and family for all of your thoughts and prayers through this time.
