Birthday Mania!

Birthday mania is definitely kickin' in 'round these parts!! LOVE the Toy Story theme for little A!! Below is a pic of the banner I made from cardboard!! LOVE IT!! All over the walls I hung clouds, just like the one's in Andy's room from the first Toy Story. I also cut out stars and hung them by fishing line ALL over the ceiling. I wanted to bring in some of Andy's room from the 2nd and 3rd Toy Story as well! So far, I LOVE IT!! It's fun to see how cheap you can make decorations. So far, I've only spent about $1.50 for the posterboard for the stars and clouds! I am having more fun than I probably should be!! ;)

I decided with M's birthday back in November that I would celebrate the boy's birthday's for AT LEAST a week!! So, being that little A's birthday is next Friday, I decided to start decorating now! I love the idea and I won't be SO stressed during the week before so I can enjoy it more!!

Anybody have any ideas, PLEASE shoot them my way!! Little A's party is only a week away!! More pics to come soon!

Love these boys!

This is my M! He is an extremely bright 6-year-old boy with a heart of gold. I mean, what kid his age would give up one of his two dollars to help buy cereal?? I don't know why he wanted to give it to me, but that's what he said!! He is a calm, quiet, snuggly boy who doesn't like to see ANYONE cry. He is quite the little fellow!! He is in Kindergarten this year and we are home-schooling him which is turning out SSOOOO amazing! I love this little boy with all of my heart! (Excuse the chapped lips! He has them everyday no matter what we put on them!)



This is little A!! He is an EXTREMELY energetic almost 3 year old boy who is learning his way through things!!! He will climb the TV stand, just to fall on his bum, and he will get up and do it again! I guess it's a learning process, right?? He is also learing how to be kind. I opened a bag of fruit snacks the other day and he ran from me, not saying the usual "thank you". Next thing I hear is him say, "Here, M!" which touched my heart! Then he came back and got one for himself and he did say thank you! He is bright and curious and loves to give pucker-lip kisses!! I love this little boy very much!!

I love my family and wouldn't know what to do without them!! I am grateful for the wonderful blessings that the Lord has given me!! Hope everyone has a great day!

The Final Countdown!

Three more days until I embark on the wonderful journey that is homeschooling! I'm not quite prepared but hopefully I'll have everything done this weekend. We have a house of sick people here and tomorrow my hubby is getting a scope done because he is feeling bad. They think either an ulcer or a hernia. We'll see. I can't wait to know because waiting makes me CRAZY!!!! I love him and wouldn't be able to do anything that I do without him!!

M woke up last night just miserable. He came in our bed and layed by me and felt like a heating blanket! He had a fever and he was hot EVERYWHERE! Even his little hands and feet were hot! He seems to be doing a lot better. Hopefully it stays that way. Little A has had a snotty nose for days. No fever but lots and lots of boogies!

I love life! My family is amazing and I am glad for what I've been blessed with! Have a great day and thanks for visiting!!!!!

It's HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Was outside with my hubby and two kiddos this morning cutting down a tree (yes cutting down a tree on our anniversary) and a glorious messenger arrived with gleaming gifts for me! Actually, the FedX guy came with three boxes for M's homeschooling adventure! WOW! That's all I can say!!! The products and books we received are beyond average!! I will have to take a picture of all the things and post them, once I figure out how to take pictures of my camera!!!!!! I feel like it's Christmas for ME! M is super excited as well!! He wanted to start today!! I'm ssssooooooooo excited to do this with him! I even planned activities for little A to do! It should be super fun!!!

Hope you had a glorious day! Thanks for stopping by!!

My boys!

A different beautiful day! This is a picture of my boys at one of our favorite parks! Aren't they awesome! The picture was taken a while ago, but I love it! It would probably be a prettier pic if there were leaves on the trees but awesome just the same!

I love nature and being outside, even though I can't breath because of my allergies! We are so blessed to have this beautiful place to call home! We have a loving Father in heaven and His Son who created all of this for us to enjoy! Take some time out of your day to literally stop, and smell the roses! We are so blessed!

Hopefully my hubby will put the pics on the computer from the awesome sunset last night!

Enjoy each and every day!

Sick kiddo!

Yuck! Little A is sick! He has boogers and his eyes are all watery and he has a little bit of a cough. I feel so bad. He is in 'mommy' mode. It makes me a little happy because ,for anyone who knows little A, he is a mover and a shaker! He likes to climb and jump and explore everything! Now he just wants mommy! It sets me behind a little because I didn't get done what I needed to get done but it'll all be here tomorrow!

Take the time today to be with your little ones! They grow so very fast! Love them, cherish them and give them lots of hugs and kisses!!

Have a great day and I hope it's a beautiful day where ever you are!!!

BIG NEWS!!!!

The coolest thing happened today! My little brother and his wife found out today that they are having TWINS!!!!! Big A will have two little brothers/sisters or one of each. It's crazy! I'm very excited for them and I wish them all of the best. They will do amazing with their little family! YYYEEEEAAAHHHH!

My nieces and nephews!

Well here are pics of my beautiful nieces and nephews!!! I put them in order from youngest to oldest on accident but thats ok!

This is a pic of Big A. She is a cutey pie! She's 2 1/2 years old! She's as pretty as a princess and tough as nails!



















This is Little B. He's 5 years old and quiet and keeps to himself. He is a little guy but hangs in there and stands his ground!!






















Below is a pick of middle K. She is 6 1/2 years old. She is all girl but she also can hang with the boys. I guess she has to because she's in the middle of two boys!!


















Below is a pic of my oldest nephew Big B. He's a kind boy and smart as they get. He has a good heart!

So there you have it! Part of my beautiful family! I would post brothers and sister in laws, but I have to make sure they would want me to!!! I love my family. Especially the kiddos! No matter what they always make me smile!!
