I am so blessed!

Happy Mothers Day to all! Especially you Mom... you are such a blessing to me; words cannot even describe. :) I Love you so much!

Low key weekend at home...

I haven't taken pictures of the kids in a couple weeks; that is a long time for me to not pick up my camera. This weekend was a low key weekend spent at home; cleaning, organizing & just enjoying each other's company.
I cracked up at a perfect blogging moment- Jay and I were in the kitchen while the kids were playing outside; we told them to stay on the sidewalk because we hadn't picked up the dog-"Stuff" in the backyard yet; well as we looked out our kitchen window we were pleasantly surprised to see Shianne picking up the dog "stuff" without even being asked; and her brothers were helping too! It was soooo funny. I just had to go grab my camera and capture this memorable moment.
After they were done; the kids washed their hands, and Shianne made lunch for her brothers. They made a picnic on the patio- I love watching them get along so nicely- these memories as siblings they'll hold on to forever.

Oh... and Lucky Charms are the worst!!! I crack up at the whole grain Calcium & Vitamin D on the label... you may be wondering why this is bloggable- lol I just decided to take a picture of the kids bowl after eating Lucky Charms...

Notice no charms??? Am I the only one whose kids just eat the marshmallows!!!??? Very frustrating... Sooooo next time when my kids ask for Lucky charms I will show them this picture; so they will know why we no longer buy them. :) I'll get them a bag of Kraft Marshmallows instead for a special treat- not for breakfast.

Something worthy of reflecting on...

"God gives his children different types and amounts of wealth, gifts, blessings, and circumstances. What matters to the Lord is the way we make use of them, not how much we have"

Easter Sunday 2009

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter! :)

Finally finished!!!! YAY!!!

So... I barely finished a class project of Donna Downey's today!!! For those of you non-scrappers she is like a celebrity to us. :) It only took over a year!? lol- it took me a really long time to sew those buttons Jen. This was the second class I have taken... and by far the best!!! I love Donnas style- and it was so fun to be alongside my sweet friend Jen! What a perfect day to finish this- let's see my chores are done and it's raining- gotta love it!











Happy Good Friday everyone! What a special day to really focus on what Jesus did for us- I pray we never forget this day; nor forget the magnitude of how profoundly it affects our today, and our future. Blessings to all and thanks to the Lord above for filling me with a love that really does go beyond words. I read on a blog the other day something beutiful and I keep repeating it over and over in my head ...

"If God is God—and He is—small with him is better than big with anybody. His old things are better than anybody's new things. Being his child is better than having the world. And better to be blind with the invisible God than to see everything without him." (John Piper)

So very true!
