Pictures from da hillz.

Here are the pics I got today while Ricky and M’Kayla were sledding. (Clayton was at a creative drawing class..I’ll have to catch him next time)
My only complaint? I sure do miss my photo editing software. But they aren’t too bad I guess.
Enjoy our winter wonderland!
Here are the kiddos, all bundled up and ready [...]

I’m trying. really I am.

I’m trying to have a good day. Why people insist on ruining it for me I don’t know.
I’ll just have to chalk it up to them having nothing better to do with their sad little lives.
But I’m not going to dwell on the bad stuff. I’m going to jump into the good stuff with [...]

right here, right now

Just a snapshot of life here.
on this day, in this moment.

I am sitting on the computer. Blogging (duh) when I should be doing dishes and laundry.
there are two snoring labradors at my feet.
there is a fire crackling in the fireplace.
outside, everything is covered in a blanket of white and the sky looks heavy with the [...]

So I’m not going in there.
Brian sure is proud of himself [...]

Prayers for Mike

Anyone who happens to stumble onto this. Please say a prayer for my Uncle Mike. He is fighting cancer and things aren’t looking good.
But I know that God is so much bigger than cancer. I know he can work miracles. I also know that he has a plan, and that it may not be [...]

getting ready for the man in red!

I’m hosting Christmas this year. I think I decided to do that so I could invite my family to my house for the holidays.
I say I think because I can’t remember. I’ve slept since then and have gotten no RSVP’s from my family LOL! (they all have good reasons not to come though..so [...]

Don’t get me wrong…I am thankful for the camera I have…it has served me well. And I am so glad I had it with me when we [...]

Hey mom!

Ricky: (whispering) “hey mom…guess what a tangerine has in it!”
Me: (whispering back) “Um…I dunno…seeds?”
Ricky: (whispering really close to my face now) “nope mom..it has oooooorange juice in it!”
He never fails to make me smile.

Thank you Lord.

It seems like an odd post I know. Thanking the Lord on a blog. But right now I just want to praise Him in any way I can.
I have been scared lately.
really, really scared.
I haven’t been feeling like myself lately, so I went to the doc to see what was up. Doc decided to [...]

Drafts, dirty floors, and Labradors

I’m really trying to get back into the swing of blogging..but for some reason, all of the things I want to blog about are jumbled in my head and I can’t make sense of them.And my blog is hard to read when I have my thoughts [...]
