What a busy month

I just have to add this picture of Tanner, it is the most precious picture of him. He is so sweet but sure is full of SPUNK!

This week was kind of a recovery week. You see we had a late Christmas for my husbands side at our new house Jan 12th. We ended up with 38 people. Yes I'll admit that I was kind of nervous at first knowing that they were all coming to our home, I was cooking for them all (scary in it self) and our it was the first time that everyone would see our brand new home. IT WAS GREAT! We had a very good time. The kids did great and adults too. Some could not come but they were there in our hearts. We ended up being very proud, and oh yeah the food turned out very well (all except the ham was not done at the same time as everything else, oops! sorry) I'd add a photo but I was to busy in the kitchen to have time to take photos, so if I get any I will add! Thanks for being our family! It was fun.

After this Tanner & I got sick so the Christmas tree stayed up for another week. Can you believe it, it was just taken down this last weekend. WOW

Last night Dalton had a Boy Scout meeting at 6pm then I had a meeting at 7pm. finally got home around 830 just in time to clean up the dinner rush and get everyone off to bed, but Dalton says to me, "Mom, I need about 5-10 pictures of me for school tomorrow for a project" I almost fell over. You see alot of our things our in our sheds from our move, so I was praying I had enough photos that he need to share with his class. Thanks goodness I DID!!!! We did have a talk about telling me ahead of time. a least a day!!!! Know for this weekend. Dalton is going on a day camp for Boy Scouts BRRRRRRRRRRRRR! They will race sleds and earn a few merit badges. His goal is to become an Eagle Scout. I am so proud of him. He knows how to set goals.. That impressive for an Eleven year old! That another whole story about my little smarty!

I received their report cards for the quarter and semester. I was blown away by them. Tanner had an A in everything except a B in science. Dalton had an A in everything except Lit and music he had a B. I am such a proud my and a very lucky Lady. God has truly Blessed us!

Have a Blessed and safe weekend

Cold Days

Today I was reading a blog that touches my heart. The faith in God is incrediable. There daughter was premature and Tricia (th mom) is fighting with CF and awaiting a double lung transplant. Please take a moment to pray for them. For their "little miracle" and for Tricia to continue to get stronger in order to have the transplant. Check out the blog by her husband, Nate. http://www.cfhusband.blogspot.com/



Makes you remember how Blessed we all are with our own families and to also remember that nothing is possible without GOD!!!



Yesterday was quite the day. The boys were off school so I took the day off work. Tanner was grounded already from cartoons so he was bored as soon as he woke up. He could watch "Zack and Cody, Hannah Montana, etc but NO cartoons" so he decided that it would be a good day to pick on his brother. Truly all day long. He stopped for about an hour when he and I played hide-N-go seek with the plastic arrow dart gun, he would find me and shoot! It was so funny because I would scare him most of the time just be saying HI or moving. He is such a chicken! Another day and they are getting along fine again. To much time spent inside . It was way to cold yesterday and today to be outside! -20 degrees! I can't wait for spring time

Sick days

Boy am I glad to be on the uphill side. Both Tanner, my youngest, and myself have been sick for 2 days. This flu type virus going around is nasty. First you begin to fell very tired all the time, then I got a headache, my body was sore and weak. The nausea was the worst. The little guy is better today and back to school. If he had his way he would have stayed home today again just so he could watch cartoons, but mean mom made him go!!! Each day when I called school they said more and more kids are sick.

Before all this happen with us being sick. On Sat., Jan 12Th we had my husbands family Christmas at our new home. We have 37 people at our house. It went very well. No messes on the new carpet. Everybody was very respectful and I truly "Thank them all" It was great to see everyone. We had 2 turkey's, cheesy potatoes, green bean hot dish, salad, stuffing, and buns. For dessert I made my grandma's famous "fruit cocktail" cake. It was awesome, but not as good as my grandma. Bless her soul she left this world almost 30 years again. Wow, where does the time go!

God Bless you all and Happy Weekend.... Stay warm

Pround of Both

Tanner is the second born. He is now 7 years old and in second grade. He is full of energy and love to act. He is our little clown, we never know what he is going to say or do. He truly keeps our loves interesting. Tanner loves to read. He is above average and will read 2-3 books per night (of course sometimes I think it is so he doesn't have to go to bed) HA! Friendship is very important to him already!! His best-friend in the whole world is Natalie. They say they are going to grow up and get married. We'll see we have a few----more years! They too had a Christmas concert and the second grade was dressed as angels. They little angels and somedays they have horns! Here is Tanner with best friend Natalie!

My Pride and Joys

Dalton is our first pride. He is now 11 years old. and WOW- where did the time go. We waited 10+ years to have a baby and her we are 11 years later. Dalton is in 6th grade this year and is a very smart kid. I know all parents think their kids are smart but this one is. He has a very high IQ and so on.... He has taken up band this year. He plays the tuba. YES the tuba. It is bigger then he is but he loves it. He had his 1st band concert for school at the end of December. This was a Mom's proudest moment. You see he is the tuba player in the 5th-7th grade band. I will attach a photo
