Birthday's!

I'm so dissapointed in myself! It's been way too long since I've posted any updates or pictures. I told myself when I started this blog that I would try to update it atleast every 2 weeks. But here it is, almost 2 months since my last posting. Shame on me. Truth is... I'm boring. I'm not good at telling about all the good and crappy stuff going on in our lives, so I just don't write at all. Since my last post, we've celebrated 2 birthday's.. Abby and Garrett!! Abby turned 2 years old (I'm still trying to grasp that one) and Garrett turned 7 (my little ladies man)! We had a joint birthday party for them with family and some friends of Garretts. Birthday cakes, presents and a pinata. They had lots of fun. Then we ended the day with a sleep over for Garrett with 3 friends. I really thought we were in for a wild night with 5 boys that night, but it actually wasn't bad at all. They all got along really well and I'm even thinking about trying it again early in the year. lol!
It's hard to believe that Christmas is only 6 days away. Yikes! I still have to wrap all of the kids presents and I'm sad to say that even with a glass of wine at my side and the christmas music playing, I have absolutely NO desire! As soon as I start trying to wrap, I feel ill! Must be a sign that the years are just passing too dang fast these days!

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy New year!!!!

Can't believe it's already been 1 year!

It was one year ago that we first held our beautiful girl in our arms! It's so hard to believe that she's been home a year and she has changed so much. We have truly been blessed to be given the chance to parent this beautiful child of GOD's. I can't count how many times, Garrett tells me how much he loves his little sister and how happy he is that we traveled across the world to bring her home. No matter how tuff things may get in our lives or what we may be going through, just hearing him say those words, makes me realize that nothing is more important than sharing that love.

No More Diapers!!!!

I am soo excited to say that we will no longer be having a need for Diapers! Yes... Abby is officially potty trained at 23mo's old. I went out the other day and bought her a package of big girl princess panties and boy was she ecstatic to see them and couldn't wait to put them on. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd have a diaper free house but it has arrived!

Ok.. So I've been tagged!

Well... this is my first tagging I've received so please forgive me if I'm not all that terrific at it, but I'll sure try.

If you don't have a middle name, use the middle name that you wish you had.2) When tagged, you need to write your own blog post containing your own middle name facts.3) At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don't forget to leave a comment telling them that they're tagged and to read your blog.

L: Love... I had never experience real love until I had children. That never ending heartache at the thought of losing them kind of love, the would do anything for them, even give my life kind of love for them.

E: Eternity... I want to spend the rest of my eternity being the best Mother and Wife I can be, so I pray each and every day that our Father in Heaven will grant me the patience I need to make it to Eternity!

E: Every day... I pray that GOD will continue to bless my family and friends and watch over all of his children.

So, I am tagging David (davidkawada), Jeff (Electic Family), Kathy (My Sugars). Do me proud guys!

Oh my... that time has come!

First Day of School Year 07-08

I Can't believe how fast the kids are growing up! Mo is now a Sophmore and already asking me when she gets to start learning to drive. I don't think I'm ready for this at all! Garrett is in 2nd grade and probably the youngest child in his class being that his bday was on the day of the cut off when we enrolled him in Kindergarten. We took our chances in starting him early and it paid off. He's actually done quite well in spite of his age and we are very proud! Landon started Preschool and has been so excited.
