Flashback!!

I've been scanning in old photos today and found this classic 1976 photo of me with my mom and younger sister, Kim. Pretty crazy, huh? Well, I've got the family history bug again. I have been working on writing up a life story of my dad to share with my siblings. I've been doing the New Family Search and have found more family on my dad's side through Ancestry.com. It is awesome! Dustin and I are getting a bunch of family names so we can all go do baptisms. We are so excited about that. I suppose everyone will be getting into their family history after the new show on NBC premieres called "Who Do You Think You Are" where they have celebrities go through a family history journey and find out where they came from and crazy stuff about their ancestors. I guess it's good to have the media doing something on the positive side. So horray for technology!

I Am Loved...I Am Loved!

I was so surprised today to get flowers sent to me by my hubby! He really does love me! I am so lucky. Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

One Thing We Take For Granted...

BREATHING!!!

This is me coughing my guts out. I am so tired of being sick! My asthma is so aggrivated. It's so hard to breath. I cough and cough until I throw up. I can't get much sleep at night. Everyday I have a little hope that it's getting better and I get along then by evening it gets worse and worse and starts all over. I've been sick for over 2 weeks now and I'm sorry but I just need to vent and complain.

A House Made of Sticks???

I found that one of my baskets was being ruined by little Leia. She kept picking off the sticks and has made a huge hole in it. I find this pile of sticks and I asked her why she was doing this and she says, "But Ma ma I have to build my house of sticks like the little pig!" Well, I had to laugh and couldn't be so mad at her anymore.

Bre's Ballet Class

Bre is enjoying her ballet class so much and is so cute. I just had to share this page.

Christmas Pages

Snow Fun

Kids are home for Christmas break and today was a good day to go out and play in the snow. Addie made the cutest dog. She is so creative.

Getting Ready for Christmas

We are busily getting ready for Christmas and just want to wish you some Christmas cheer! It seems that I continually try and plan to do way more in a day than there is possibly time for. Why do we do that? There are just so many things I want to make and do for everyone. Well, I am going to try and not stress myself over holiday doings and just try and enjoy this time of year and do what I can day by day. Well, I just gave myself a little pep talk and now I feel better. TTFN

Turkey Day

Thanksgiving was good. We spent the rest of the weekend painting our basement rooms and hallway. It's almost finished. We are getting carpet in this Friday, horrah! I am so excited to have my downstairs finished.
