Thankful (Day3)

As I was lying in bed this morning I realized I am truely thankful for another day-- see I realized today is a guarantee as start to another day. Tomorrow will be a gift and yesterday is the past.....so I vow that today I am going to live it to the fullest, love my sweet family like they have never seen and when I lay my head down tonight be ever so thankful for yet another day, more memories and more time spent with those I love.

As the years fly by......

It is amazing to me just how fast time flies.....prime example

Retirement

This month marks a new spot here at my office--- on of our agents retired. I have to admit it was sad to see him leave although I know we will still see him quite a bit!!

Best of luck Mr. Storz!!!

Thankful (day2)

Today I am thankful for our health-- it has been a long road to really be able to breath a sigh of relief. Paisley really put alot in to perspective for us because when I think about it we were beyond lucky to not have to face many of the health challenges that a premie entails. I think until the days she was released from the STARS clinic I always worried about soemthing popping up. I faced many a challenge with her from her hearing results and follow ups to her monthly shots last year.....however I am ever so grateful because there are tougher challenges to be fought.

I have learned never take health for granted because it can change in the blink of an eye. I have a wonderful example set forth in my step mother about facing those challenges and never taking a day for granted. She amazes me-- her love her passion and her caring even when she has faced what I consider one fo the worst most heart wrenching challenges a mother could face-- loosing a child, seeing her suffer however Becky prides herself to have Megans legacy remembered and to live each day to the fullest--

So there is no doubt I am ever so grateful for our health my families and those we love.

Thankful ( Day 1)

I am going to try and keep this going all month and I challenge you to do the same.

Lately I have been finding myself searching for what is comfortable for myself and questioning many "whys". I will be the 1st to admit this last month I have found myself really struggling to find that comfort- I have been quite negative, completely worn out, longing for home for me and my family and wanting our life to fall into that normal category. But let's face it as my husband put it to me the other night "our life is NOT normal" we are a busy family.

I have a job that I LOVE beyond words yet I too struggle with feeling comfortable in it, then there is the farm-- ohhh the farm it can be soooo good but it to can stress me beyond belief but again lets face it "it is our life". Not only that but anyone who know Chris knows it is his passion and I am grateful for that even when I dont feel grateful.

Last month was full of challenges that tested me, who I am and our marriage. However at the end of the day I am grateful because there is no doubt in my mind Chris and I can do anything possible! The 4 years we have been married have been a whirlwind from moving when Callen was a baby, to having Paisley almost 2 months early to the medical bills to deciding to move again when Paisley was little to building to the everyday task in our lives. At the end of the day when Chris and I look back together there is NO doubt each step has been worth it for our family.

So as the time draws closer and I can see home in sight I realize there is ever so much to be grateful for....2 health children, a husband I wouldnt trade for the world, a place to come home to and lay our heads down each night, food on the table, wonderful friends and a family that I love dearly.....when I say god is good it is just amazing just how good he is!! So today I am thankful for my incredible husband and 2 sweet babes.

My little man is sporting a black eye!!

Trick or Treat 2010

We were so blessed this year to spend trick-r-treating with children of all ages!! I have to be the 1st to tell you that I couldnt have a sked for a better way to spend it. Paisley had the time of her life and for Callen the hayride was the best moment of the night...although there were many a time I remember asking Kelly wonder where the guys are as we tried to settle 2 tired little girls- never the less looking back in hindsight I would do it all over again.My cute little babe--smiley rotten!!
My handsome BIG babe--and yesss he has a black eye that is 100% real!!

Now unfortunately I only have pictures of one dressed up for the hayride and as you can tell he fought till momma gave in and he was a football player (guess you can say my days of matching are OVER!!)

Ahhhh those blue eyes!!

Sweet P was a trooper the whole 2 hour hayride and Callen was great even with the scary mask and frightful sounds. I am counting down the days till next year so we can do it al over again!

ABC.....Precious P

Halloween Party

Saturday we headed out of town for a road trip--- our destination was a

"Merry not Scary Halloween Party"

The party's host & hoestess (well there adorable little ones)these are the 2 cutest kids around and ohhhh sooo sweet. We look forward to showing them around the farm someday soon!!

I have to start by saying this was the cutest party and my dear friend out did herself! There is no question I would put her in charge of a party anyday!

Callen and Paisley were in AWWW-- this was such a GREAT idea!!

Sweet P

Handsome C

Big brother always takes care of Paisley

P-I-Z-Z-A-- couldnt get any better!!

My little babes has a wonderful time-- they played in the cutest of playhouses, the sweetest of playscapes and of course by far the favorite of the evening was the corn tables.

My little stunt devil!!

If an arranged marriage wouldnt be looked down upon I would have no problem playing matchmaker for both my little ones.

Thank you again for a wonderful time and for all the goodies for my sweet babes....there is no doubt trick-r-treating "family style" was perfect for Callen & Paisley!

And a great BIG BOO!!!!

BIGGEST dirt pile in Texas

Where can you go and have the biggest dirt pile around?Daddy's Farm
Sunday after church Callen went to the farm with his dad to help him move dirt. I have to admit they melted my heart that day- daddy took his ride toys and dirt toys and set him up in a special spot in the middle of the field and let him play away. YES we dont practive leaving our children alone and by no means was he alone his daddy was right there moving dirt with very very watchful eyes on him! Lets just say my little man had the best of times!!

Sissy wanted a chance to check is all out as well

She loves her daddy's tractor

And she has the best chauffer around!!

These 2 take the best c are of eachother!! Callen was removing some dirt so sissy didnt get dirty in her church clothes.

Callen keeping a close eye on things-- especially sissy and daddy in the tractor

Here's too....

A BOO-tiful weekend!!

House Update

Well I cannot wait to post pictures tomorrow on the house progress--

It has come leaps and bounds thus far

cabinets ~check

paint~check

tile completion~check

countertops~check

lighting~check (except the fixtures this mommy just ordered)

electricity~ CHECK well on Monday

ac~ next week

wood floors~next week

carpet~ next friday

moving day~ 2/3 weeks and counting

I have to admit I am beyond ready to move. I wish they would give me one completed room that I could start making home but unfortunately for me things just dont work that way. I have the blinds ordered the shutters taken care of and now I just need the OK to MOVE. Now dont get me wrong in 3 weeks there may not be a driveway or sidewalks much less landscaping but isnt all that trivial?? No worries with or without that we are MOVING because if you havent gotten the notice this momma is sooooo ready.

I even had Callen tell me MOM lets just stay here tonight-- little buddy if it were only that easy although life is better now that we have potties :)

Sassyfras

Ok I have to admit-- last night hubs told me today it was going to be cool-- I was sooo excited at the thought-- of course 44 cool and 71 cool are night and day different. So when P made it outside she was a bit overdressed for the NOT so cool weather. Needless to say at school we changed her shoes and took her little hat off.Her new name besides BRUISER which let me be the 1st to warn you she now has a green bruise on her head that is the size of a golf ball- is SASSYFRAS because she loves to put shoes and bows on.

Sweet sweet baby!!

If you roll your windows down..

and listen real close about 5:30 in the evenings-- you will hear my car rockin and singing our favorite song--uh oh uh oh stuck on you, you and me baby were stuck like glue....there is a little diva dancing in the backseat and my heart is fluttering because lets face it that song sums up what I fell about these 2 because we are stuck like glue!!Sad when I have to capture them strapped in
but ohhhh soooo cute

Doesnt get any better then singing with the windows down and the air blowing through your hair

and yes shame on me-- she still gets a paci every now and them

By the way have you noticed the little diva in our house just how long her hair is getting??

What they want....

They typically get.... and now that it has become monkey see monkey do it makes ice cream time all that much messier!! but at the end of the day I wouldnt have it anyother way

My Smiles

When times get tough it is amazing just how these 2 can make me smile....there isnt a day goes by that I am not a blessed person to be their mommy and so thankful for them.

See that smile-- it is just amazing to me what gets taken for granted
Or that little wink letting me know he is taking good care of his sister
Or those giggles they share when they are being silly and hiding from mommy
Of course getting them to take pictures that are not on the fly is soooooo much harder then you will ever realize!!

A laugh for the day

I am not sure how I could have forgotten to post these pictures-- but somehow they got overlooked. Lets just say if this were a video you would have heard ALOT of laughing going on from myself, Aunt Kim and Aunt Lindsay. The funniest part is Callen was carrying on a full conversation and not bothered at all by his legs that were squezzed into the exercauser. I am thinking he was testing the little princess's of the house by playing with there toy!! Sorry girls I guess Callen was calling rank lets just HOPE this was just a fluke and he wont have me pulling out our exercauser.

I think Paisley was wondering WHAT IS GOING ON-- or maybe secretly she was rolling her eyes and laughing too--

And yes sister had some wild pigtail leftover hair

One day I forsee these coming back to haunt him-- maybe his senior year

Its Friday!!!

Whew after a long long long week it is finally Friday

Wishing you all a WONDERFUL weekend!!!
