TAT: Mommy & Me

I adore my boys! I can't imagine life without them! However, there aren't too many pictures of us together because I'm always the one behind the camera. I think that is most mom's complaints ;) 


I try really hard to not let myself freak out when Monkey wants to hold bugs and other things that I would never want to touch! Picture here is the praying mantis that we found while waiting for fireworks on the 4th of July.


Then there is the wanting to paint and create artful things things that always end up with a mess. But that's part of having kids and I do love watching Monkey design and create things!


And let's not forget all we go through to bring them into the world! The whole nine months of craziness (is there any other way to describe being pregnant?) and of course labor and delivery. It's all worth it to me! I would do it over and over again just to see a new face that my husband and I created together! 


And then there are the great quiet moments that we all can enjoy! This is when Goose and I got to enjoy some outside time while Monkey and his cousins were playing.


And storytime before bed or in our house all day long! Monkey loves stories and I think that Goose will too! I think this is my favorite time of day because we get to cuddle up and learn. Even from fun story books we learn things.


I think that being a mom is the greatest job in the world and I would never trade it in the world for anything! Being a homemaker makes it easy for us to have Mommy and Me moments everyday some have to be intentional and many just happen!

    I also love story time before bed. I just wish Carina wanted to read more than 1 story over and over again ;)

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
