I love my kids...

Today I am so greatful for my kids. I love being their mom, even though some days I have my trials with some of them. I am so thankful that I am their mom.

Mike's cousin gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday. She was told a while ago durring her pregnancy that he would no survive when he was born. They had the choice to continue on with the pregnancy or abort him right then. And of course she continued with the pregnancy. She was really sick all last week (not feeling well with the pregnancy). So Saturday night she was really sick on the bathroom floor and they decided that they would go to the hospital, by the time they got there she was already at a 9! She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy with a lot of black hair. He had a tumor and his kidneys were full of fluid. He weighed 7 lbs (because of the tumor and kidney) He was 20 inches long-he was going to be a BIG boy! Last night as I was talking with Mikes aunt-I just sat and cried. I was feeding Abbie at the time and after I got off the phone I just sat there for about an hour holding her. Then I walked in and kissed and held both my boys. My heart aches for our cousin I can't even imagine what she is going through. And everytime I even think about it I end up crying my eyes out. I just want my 3 kids to know how thankful I am that they came to our home and that I am their mom-I love you kids:)

cute little witch

we got this cute hooded towel from some friends of ours-and I think Abbie looks so fetching cute in it. Everytime Marshal sees her in it he calls he a little witch. It would be a cute little witch costume I guess.

little #@%!

so whenever we go to the store Marshal always runs off and hides-I think I posted something like this before. But here we go again...

Mike and I went to the store and all of a sudden we couldn't find Marshal-then we heard some laughing coming from a clothes rack-the little @#%!. But of course I grabed my camera and took a shot before I grabed him out:)

YUCK!!!

okay so I was thinking of redoing my recipe collection. I was going to make a new book with all the recipes that we tend to use a lot. So I would make the dish, then take a picture of it, then load it into my digital program and make a recipe card with the picture if the recipe on it too! I know what a great idea-UNTIL I seen the picture that I took of new potatoes and peas-YUCK!!! It kindof reminds me of when I was pregnant:( So I think I may still make the cards but not add all the pictures:)

the clutz!

Mason has been really into the whole jump roping thing lately. So he tied his and Marshals stuffed snakes together and made himself a jumprope (don't ask me because we have like five jumpropes around) anyways he ways jump roping in our living room, which is usually off limits to roughness. However I was laughing so hard at him I couldn't tell him NO. He would jump then fall flat on his face-lets just say he ended up on the floor more then a few times.

bloggin-what for?

And this is why I BLOG! I am so far behind on the whole scrapbooking thing. Okay so sometimes I am behind on the blogging thing too! But my kids LOVE to look at the blog. I love when update it and surprise them with it. They will get on and be so excited if it is updated. They love it when the bloggin is about them-go figure.

scardy cat

Okay so all my blogs seem to go back to Marshal one way or another-sorry to my other kids I do love ALL of you but he is SOOOO full of it at 2 years old! So this is a spider in our halloween decor, it is the only thing that gets Marshals attention now days. I do threatin him with I will admit:) If he won't do something I will and have said "the spider is going to get you if you don't do it." or "the spider is going to get you if you do that again." This spider might have to be out all year long:)

sweet:)

I had to take this picture since quite in my house only happens when Marshal is taking a nap- which I am sorry to say this outloud-but I live for naps-it is my time to catch up on laundry or dishes or PIcKinG up the house, just for it to be torn apart again. Marshal is such a cute little turd. He has such a huge spirit in such a little body I sometimes feel really guilty getting mad at him.

what brain?

sometimes I feel like this skeleton-that has NO brain!
There have been days that I have no clue what I am doing or how I got places-it seems like everytime I call my sister I always say "what did I call you for?" (like she would know!) it seems that I forget more than I remember! Let me just say it is very frustrating at times-if my head wasn't screwed on I would lose it!

halloween decor...

Mason LOVES decorating for the holidays-I have been quite the slacker the last few years! So this year he was gone hunting with Mike. So while I was over at my moms house Carrie and I went to a wood store in Salt Lake and got this cute BOO. We came home and painted them so it was finished for Mason to put up with all our halloween stuff-he was so excited!!!
