The Happy Times!

I am sitting in my living room right now watching my three kids playing in the play room. Everyone is happy and playing so nicely. Even baby L is getting in on the action of the game the older ones are playing. I look at them and remember how blessed I really am. Life goes through those moments when its really hard then you get a break. I know my break is coming soon I just have to make it past the tough parts. I am grateful for mornings like this one that remind me of whats important in my life.

Surgery

So we met with a surgeon yesterday about a surgery Baby L has to get. He has a cyst right above his eye that has to be removed. The doctor was telling us that sometimes the cyst can attach itself it the brain which means a harder surgery but lucky for us Baby L's is not attached to his brain. It should be a pretty easy surgery and very few risks. We are going to plan the surgery for after Scot turns in his thesis project in April. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared to death. I know there are very few risk and the doctor was very confident but I am still nervous. I know the Lord will take care of us and of Baby L and that's what brings me the most comfort.

Happy Birthday!

Monday was Baby L's 1st birthday! I can't believe it has been a year already. He is such a good baby. I love having him apart of the family! He is starting to show is cute little personality and he makes he laugh all the time. I love my baby so much and am excited to celebrate many more birthdays with him.

Me Time!

So I am not a morning person. I like sleeping in till 8am and staying in a nice warm bed. If little children wake up too early I try to get them to stay in bed with me. My goal this year was to make a change and be more of a morning person. I feel like if I get up early before others I can get some things done just for me. This week I started waking up at 5:45am and started running with a good friend of mine. We run till 6:30-7:00 and when I go home a have a little time to do what I need to before children wake up. This week has been great! I love being able to start off my day by doing something good for myself. I feel better and my children seem to be happier (maybe because I am) and we just have a all round good day! I can proudly say I love mornings and I and making myself be a morning person. You should try it too!

Just like Dad

Crazy man saw Scot saving his face and wanted to do it too. Scot put some saving cream in crazy man's hand a gave him a hair comb and showed him what to do. It was SO cute. I felt out of place while taking these pictures. There was a lot of male bonding going on.

Happy Valentine's Day

Scot and I celebrated Valentine's day on Saturday because Scot is SO busy today. We wanted to go on a date but instead took the whole family because everyone had a runny nose and I didn't want someone else to have to wipe my kids noses. This morning I invited over the kids friends and we had a party. We did a craft, decorated sugar cookies and ate lunch. We had a lot of fun!!

Every Valentine's day I try to make the kids a present. This year a made pillow owls. I got the cute pattern on a blog www.makeit-loveit.com (I will add pictures later) the kids loved them and have played with them most of the day. I hope everyone has a great Valentine's day! Love you all

Yes I am here!

Do you ever have those times in your life where you feel like you are behind on everything? I feel like that now. I don't know why I am behind but I am going to start getting better. I hate being behind on things. I would much rather be a few days ahead. Anyways, let me update you on my life. We had a wonderful Christmas full of lots of toys, fun, and cold weather. Baby L's birthday is coming up soon and he will be one! Scot is in his last semester of school!!! Then we will hopefully get a job and move somewhere fun.

My Mother-in-law is a photographer and when we get together with her she takes great pictures of our family. Here is a cute one she did of Princess.

I love this on of Crazy man!


Here is a cute one of Baby L

Baby L has gotten so big over night it seems like. He is into everything! He pulls books off the shelves he knocks over towers that his siblings have made and cause all kids of troubles. Here is a picture of his latest discovery...

Thats right Toilet Paper!
