Remember this one ladies...

I am: needing a vacation
I think: life is really hard, but well worth it
I know: Jesus loves me
I want: to push a button and everything be cleaned up in my house
I have: to go pick up newspapers and I am dreading it
I wish: Collin worked at the port full time
I miss: my mom & sephora
I feel: sad now that i thought of my mom
I hear: the kids playing were there new LOUD toys
I smell: coffee
I regret: no being patient with my kids all the time
I love: when you first get into bed....cozy
I always: love getting the mail
I am not: very nice to myself
I believe: in eternity
I fear: Matt 7:21
I cry: when I feel like someone doesn't like me
I don't always: wash my face at night
I fight: comparison
I never: return my books to the library on time
I listen: not often enough
I need: extreme home makeover
I am happy: that I have a healthy family

Merry Christmas

The stockings were hung at the chimney with care in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.....

We were able to carry out our family tradition of going to the Ginger Bread house in Seattle and riding the Carousal. Sadly my battery died before I could snag a picture of the houses. They were amazing! But I did manage to get a few ;)

This little bucket band was amazing! They even let some of the kids play!

My darlings! By far this is the best year for my kids. Dallas made sure that everyone heard him and Ava did all the hand motions! If I could just pause them for a awhile I would because this is just too precious!

Reese made sure that she was noticed at the end! She was grooving!

And Norah is still carrying the title for "mischief maker"! I am hoping that she will not do this again. I am proud of myself for taking a picture because it was too cute. Reese said that "this was the weirdest day of my WHOLE life!"



Grandpa and Grandma came out for a trip. The kids were surprised with some early Christmas presents! We went out for pizza and watched the video of the Christmas play. It was a good day!

This season has been busy busy! But it has been good. I am a little late at posting a lot of these pictures, but better late than never :)

Hope that you all are filled with the love of Christ. May God richly bless you with His abundant love! Oh and Dallas....Harry Potter called. He wants his glasses back!

Merry Christmas!

I heart these and So should you....

A friend of mine was wearing something similar to this and I just had to have one! Come to find out they are 30 $ at Nordstroms! So I decided to make it myself. So let me know if you would like one too. Of course you will get a friend discount and it will only cost you 10$ ;) These are all made for adults, but I also have kids sized headbands as well. Comments are always appreciated and you may just think this is the most ridiculous thing ever. IF so please let me know that too.

FYI I love this Guy D A L L A S

He has officially been knighted. When I got home from the store I think I about melted seeing the Joy and Happiness in this little boy. He had his shield, sword and helmet ready to conquerer! He was quite proud and had every reason to be.

And this. This is one of his drawings. To get an idea of what the kids might like for Christmas (and to busy them for a few hours :) I gave them some paper, glue, scissors and Toys R' Us toy magazines to cut out a few things they may want for Christmas. He kept asking me how to spell "Robot Dump Truck" My favorite part of this whole thing is the 49.99! My goodness how stinkin cute is that!
I am so thankful that we held him back this year because I am have such special time with this boy. He is taking over my heart in so many ways and it is great! Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful boy!

And these little ladies....Treasures

And just stop it right now! Growing that is. Reese looks so pretty and grown up in this picture. I just LOVE her. I love All of my kids and am thankful for each one of them.

I am also thankful for the Parsons. Sara has been one great friend over these last 6 1/2 years! Sara can you believe it has been that long. Last month we were blessed to stay at the Parson B&B :) It was crazy with all our kids, but SO much fun and we needed a little weekend getaway. We also picked up a few new habits like sitting on the counters. My kids thought it was the greatest thing ever. Thank you Sara for such a great friendship you have really been a blessing.

This one is at our house :)

So in the midst of all these struggles.....there are many many good things. God is so good, faithful and loving to us. And I am enjoying this year with Him more than I ever thought I would. Thank you to all that have been there and listened.

miss you
