ok, this is kind of cheating because I am so annoyed that my dishwasher is broken. I am not thankful for that. Truthfully it has never worked very good. We bought it top of the line and it just has never cleaned very good. We have had so many guys try to “fix” it with...

I’m thankful for lunch with CW
WE don’t often get to go to lunch with Chad. It was such a treat to get to go and hang out with him for an hour today. The little kids were in their beds trying to fall asleep when he called to ask me to meet him. They couldn’t believe their ears when I...
The earth to a child
I was going through my HUGE pile of things to sort and came across this poem that Piper (age 9) wrote. I think it is absolutely beautiful. She has such a creative mind and so much voice in her writing. She has to be painting, writing, coloring, gluing, or creating something at all times. Her...
Valentines Day
Finally got Valentines decor up. I added one this year. I wanted to have a whole bunch of images of us (my fam) loving on eachother. I wasn’t really sure where I was going with it when I started. It kind of just evolved to this. I didn’t want to buy anything new (trying to...
Today I am thankful for
Freedom… hope it lasts.
Rock the boat (i know… clever).
The other day when it was raining, Rocky was across the street playing with two neighbor boys (both quite a bit older then him). They had made sail boats and were having boat races down the gutter. He was really frustrated because he wanted a boat too. It was almost dark and time for dinner...
Ideas for Valentines day decor
Valentines Day is tricky for me. There is a very small window (in my opinion) to decorate. Don’t get me wrong, when I finally do decide it is time- I love it. I always feel like after Christmas I need a breather from the clutter. I always seem to go through closets and cupboards and...
Phone Manners
I overheard Griffin, my oldest, on the phone the other day and he said, “well, uuuuuh, ok then, uuuuhh, ok ya by.”
Hmmm…. Time for a phone manners lesson. Durring dinner I told the kids that we are going to roll play. I’m one of their friends dads and they are calling to see if “Joey”...
I couldn’t believe I was pregnant when I had a 4 month old baby.
Now I am so thankful. I love it that my two youngest are 13 months apart. They are really close - best friends. My daughter takes really good care of him (as if she is much older). I love their little conversations and listening to her teach him things. Sometimes it is hard because she...
I am thankful for love at home
Disclaimer. My son is not perfect. Ok, with that out of the way I must say that I think he is really cool.
I had a great big brother. He was really nice to me and not like a typical big brother. However, I don’t think he would have ever let me hang with his friends...
