Yes, it's been a long time....again!

Sorry guys, with birthdays and Thanksgiving and upcoming holidays I have been so busy! Ben's bday was in Sept and then Levi's in Oct followed by Sara's in Nov and then Thanksgiving. In between there we had a family reunion, a trip to the coast and many trips to town. (town is at least 2 1/2 hours away depending on which "town" we got to.) And now Sam's bday is coming tomorrow and I really should be deciding what kind of cake I will be making instead of playing on here! Oh the guilt! Ok, I'm over it. So, I have many picture memories to share with you but not enough time to let them download. After Sam's bday I promise to get some posted. I love and miss everyone! Have safe and happy holidays! Remember that all this is about Jesus and what He did for us!

Finally! We got to visit home!

The boys and I took a cross state trip this last week to the Coast! It had been over 2 years since I had been there and Sam had not gotten to experience sand ever! So, through some major convincing of my husband and a wonderful friend who let us stay with them, we got to go. Norman did not get to come and it would have been more fun with him, but we still had fun!


Well, I was going to post some pictures but I am having some difficulties doing that! The weather was typical October weather for the coast but we ventured out to the beach anyways. Sam loved it. He was going 150 miles per hour the whole time! I'm sure he was wondering why I had never brought him to this big huge playground before! Levi found a whole sand dollar, very cool! I don't think I have ever found a whole perfect one before! Benjamin was so funny! He was in shorts but that did not stop him from venturing into the water! And then I couldn't keep him out! The looks on their faces the first time the waves came in farther than before was so funny! I think they were in shock! So I yelled "Run! Run!" and all three of them started running back in. Then it was a game. Sam was so cute! He ran from those waves as if his life depended on it! All in all we had a great trip. We stayed with a friend that I had lost contact with and it was fun getting to know her family. I don't think she will ever get rid of us now! So it was too cold so I did not get to feel the sand between my toes but I did get to let the salt air blow on my face and I had an awesome time watching my boys enjoy the beach, my home. No matter how long I am away, it will always be my home. Funny how the ocean does that to you.

Wow! 5 already!



My son Benjamin just turned 5 last month! I can't believe it! It feels like we just brought him home to the hospital. Well, he got a lot of cool toys but best of all he got an awesome birthday cake. I do have to admit that I was the best mommy in the whole world for making this cake for him. It did turn out cool!! Happy Birthday Benjamin! I love you little buddy!

Prayer Request

I just wanted to share what's going on with me right now. I could really use some prayer. I recieved Levi's homeschool curriculum in the mail yesterday and am very overwhelmed. I know I can do this. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. This is the first year we have gone through a company and I know it's going to be great but there was soooooo much there. 12 books for him to complete this year! Like I said, I am overwhelmed! I know I just need to sit down and get organized but wow! Any ways, I covet your prayers. Oh, and the potty training thing isn't going as well as it started out. Maybe Sam won't be potty trained before 2! But we are still plugging along at it, hoping everything just "clicks" for him. Thank you for your prayer!

Our 8th Wedding Anniversary

Yesterday, September 9th, was Norman and my 8th wedding anniversary! It was a perfect night! We chose to stay home but a friend of ours took the boys for the night! Our first night with out kiddos in three years! So I had the table set very romantically with candles and everything. I made Fettucinni Alfredo with chicken and broccoli, garlic bread and for dessert I made an outstanding Lemon Cheesecake with sourcream lemon topping and drizzled with blackberry-lemon sauce. The food was amazing as was the company if I do say so myself! Anyways, after eight years of marriage I can honestly say I am more in love with my hubby than ever! He is by best friend and confidant! I can never imagine being with anyone else!
I love you, Baby!!
