Family Update

As you all know I haven't been on in a long time. Sense I was six weeks pregnant I have gotten sick almost every day..it has been worse lately. Tomorrow I will be 16 weeks, so hopefully it will end soon. On a good note Travis got his part-time position at Westerville Fire Department, and will be starting oriantation on March 16. This is really good news for our family mainly because this department is his dream department. The boys are all doing good. Most days I look at them and wonder how they got so big. They have been mommy's big helpers on my really bad days. Hopefully I am back and can have more soon both with updates and Pics. P.S. I would put belly shots but because I have been so sick I don't really have one. Trav said I could use his but I don't think you want to see those. hehehe

WAY TOO LATE

I am first going to say I am SO sorry for just now getting to this post. We had won the contest over at Organized Doodles and would really like to Thank Rick for such an awesome doodle. It was even better then we imagined it would be. Elsie let me(Travis her hubby) pic what I wanted. God has truly blessed him with a talent that I am happy to get to share with others. There is how ever one issue that has come up...our son Tylar swears it is going to be framed and put in his room not on the mantle like I want. I will win out, but I am happy he sees what I see. Thanks again Rick!!!



Please go to Ricks Blog and see his work he shares with us.

Today and this week

I wish you days of ordinary miracles- A fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make yourself. An unexpected phone call from an old friend. Green stoplights on your way to work or shop. I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in... The fastest line at the grocery store. A good sing along song on the radio. Your keys right where you look. I wish you a day of happiness and perfection-little bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the funny feeling that the Lord is smiling on you, holding you so gently because you are someone special and rare. I wish You a week of Peace, Happiness, and Joy. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Wishing you the very best for 2009

We have good friends!

My friend Jackie came to see us from PA. I have knew Jackie for a long time. She has been some one that has always been there for me and I Love her for that. It made me so happy to see my boys play with her. Thank you Jackie for all you have done!

Bye to Fall hi to Winter.

This weekend The boys and I got all the leaves in a big pile and had fun playing in them. At the end we bagged them all up, threw the pumpkins away, and got some Christmas decorations up. these tasks might sound small and the norm, but for us they were firsts. So here are the pics.




Tylar would not let me get a photo of him.

and I hope you all have a good day!

O-H-I-O

We had an Ohio state party this weekend and had a fun time. We did cookies and made buckeye jewelry with the kid. Most of all we where with our friends and some family. So here are some photos of the fun.

Angels

In my life I have realized that God sends special angels in human form to help us along our way. Some of those "angels" we just get to see in passing or read about. However, once in a while we really get to know them. I have been so lucky that in my life time, of only 26 years, I have had the opportunity to have many "angels" in my life. Around this time of year I especially miss one very much. When I was just four God sent a very Important "Angel" to me. His name is Dennie, and he is the man I now call Dad. I lived in one of those houses that you see on TV and hope that it is not real. My Father was an abusive alcoholic and my Mother is mentally slow and had her choice of drugs also. Our house was always dirty and we did not know when we would get food or even what it would be. During all of this God had a plain, he sent a church bus to my house. My parents quickly put us on the bus so they could do their thing. In this old small church is where I meet Dennie. He always had a smile on his face and know how matter how dirty I was he always had a big hug. Dennie and his wife Nora came and got me most weekends and summers from the time I was 5 till I was 14. At 14 I went to live with them. Dennie helped teach me to cook, to drive, and most of all how to love and be loved. At 19 God need this Important Angel back in heaven. There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss him. But at Thanksgiving and Christmas time it is very hard for me because he made these times special. What helps me make it through is to know that one day I WILL get to see him. Even knowing that I still wish he was here to see his 3 grandsons and what a great husband and father Travis has become. So to my Blog friends treasure your "angels" everyday.

THIS IS ME EVERY YEAR!

I was on Ricks blog and when I saw this I knew that I had to put it on. Every year I say that I am going to have it all done by Christmas-eve and here I am and I have not one thing done. To see more good art go to Organized Doodles he is good.

Happy b-day Christian and Tylar.

Our boys are now 5. They are so big now most of the time they do not need mommy or daddy, but that is ok. As long as they give me hugs and kiss' I am ok. We had a big party for them is weekend and it was a lot of fun. Travis' grandparents came in from California on Friday and will go home Wednesday. We have had a good time just getting to see them with the boys.

TRICK-OR-TREAT

WE had a good time out with the kids. It was our first time going Trick or Treating by our home. It was fun just to see all of our new neighbors so here is so photos.

Elsie's Movie Review.

A couple weeks ago my husband and I got to go see an adult movie. I let him choose and he picked Fireproof. I didn't know a lot about it, but I was just excited that it wasn't a kid movie. It is made by the same people who made Facing the Giants and that is a movie I like. There were parts of the movie that I laughed, that I cried, and that just made me think. He did such a good job at his pick I am now recamending it to all of you. Here is a trailer...

No power!

Our power went out on Sunday at 3:15pm and came back on at 9:45pm on Wednesday. This was all from Ike. We lost all our food and our roof needs to be done now. On the up side I had fun coming up with Things to make on the grill. The boys an I played a lot of games. And I learned to make a fire in the fireplace. So here are some photos of all the fun we had.

No more diapers for me.

As you all know Gavin just tared 2 on August 31 and this week he has told us no more diapers. That is good but it is a lot of work as you all know when boys are learning to go to the potty you are in the bathroom ALL the time. In the last 3 days we have only had one accident and we were at the mall playing and he told me he had to go but I could not get him there in time. So tonight at bed time he had to go potty it was the #2 so we needed a book. I was in the bathroom with him for about 15min and then Tylar came in to help me read. I want out and when I came back in I heard Tylar telling Gavin that all good books end in amen. So I will lave you with

some potty photos.
