Carlsbad California

Wishing I was there to see the beautiful flower fields...just one of the many things I LOVE about Carlsbad! Just down the road from Lavender Way.....mmmmm...Nice!

Sundays are the Best

I Love Sundays! The phone doesn't ring the door bell doesn't ring the Family is all around and we usually play games, read books, hang out in the back yard, make yummy food, visit grandparents, and go to our inspiring meetings. Its just what I need at the end of a week. I cant imagine a week without a Sunday. These are pictures we took last Sunday while waiting for church.

and we all get a little rest!.....aka NAP!

New Camera

Stand Out Be Yourself!

Birthday Wishes

Tatum is now "14" as of yesterday
Jan. 18th ...wow...time is flying by. She had a great day with the Family. It may be a little bit of a bummer having your Birthday on a Sunday. Make no mistake she has been partying it up all weekend. She got a new camera and so my pictures should be looking good. ;) The cake looks a little interesting it was starting to fall apart, but it was gooood and she did the decorating. She told her Dad yesterday she was his "good luck charm" because the Cardinal's won on her Bday! Yeah. It was a Great Day!

Go Cards

I have been hearing that for years! Go Cards..in fact my husband has been mocked for years for cheering and being a die hard Cardinals Fan! Needless to say his dream came true and in hopes never to be mocked again! He was crazy stoked to say the least. Here is a couple of his favorite players. Way to go! Can't wait for the Super Bowl!!!!!

What a fantastic game! :) And I have one Happy husband!!!! :) :)

After braces

The happy results of having braces. The quote of the week is.....Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it. -Author Unknown- :)

I couldn't believe it

Yesterday Tatum got her braces off...I was really was surprised. They have been telling us for a few months and then change it. When she walked out I was a bit surprised after all Its been 2 years 2 months that she has had those things (braces) on. She was absolutely beaming with a HUGE smile of course. I hugged her and than just stared. It hit me , she looks like (those that remember) when she was five and had her front fake teeth.(why? because she had 4 front teeth pulled when she was three due to "bottle rot" ya I know..) It was the first time I had seen her with straight teeth since then. Now she is 13 almost 14 with those same perfectly straight teeth . I was *a little* shocked! She looks so cute and so grown up. Needless to say she is thrilled and so am I...*NY may be in the future plans :)* A picture is coming soon and we may wait until they take her Wall Of Fame photo before we post one. Life's Good!

Savannah Sweetheart

This is another picture Tatum took. She had it labeled "Savannah Sweetheart" We like to call her that because she really is such a sweetheart. I thought it was cute that her sister thinks so to. ps. Shhh but I think Tatum might have earned herself a new camera for her up coming Bday. I am finding some cute pictures she has taken. ;)

Only Two More Days Left

Tatum only has 2 more days until she gets her braces off. This is the before picture. She is excited and her smile shows it. I am excited and my wallet shows it! Happy Days!

Take time to smell the flowers

My oldest daughter likes to take pictures. I ran across a few of Sadie, I wish I could take the credit. She did a great job!

Growing up fast

A picture of Sadie...take time to smell the flowers. I wish I could freeze time right now. She is growing up WAY to Fast!

Gumballs

Trevor has a gumball machine in his room and it is one of his favorite things. A pack of boys come in daily to get their gumball fix. Today I cleaned out Trevor's backpack and ran across this poem he wrote. I had to laugh, it fits the scene very well.
The Title is: Gumballs
By: Trevor Willis
Gumballs rushing to the top screaming for safety
Cling, clash, everyone STOP
Gumballs as bruised as a Sumo Wrestler
One ball gave up like a Sloth
Gumballs get gobbled up
It's someones tasty treat

A Start Of A New Year 2009
