Out with 08 and in with 09

As you can see our holidays were full of family and fun. The kids got what they wanted from Santa and Kelsey and I got to get up way too early! Kaleb was up at 3:45 am christmas morning ready to see what Santa had left under the tree! I told him he needed to go back to bed. As the year comes to an end I want to thank you all for you friendship and support this past year; I know that I would not have made it through some of the rough times without you.

SO, Happy New Year! Have a great one....and I will be in touch in 09!

How time flies

Almost 1!!!!!

I can't believe that my baby is almost 1! It makes me happy and sad; knowing that he is my last baby. I am soooooo incredibly blesses with the children I have and I look forward to the years to come. I wonder what they will be like when they grow older. Will Kaleb still be that silly boy that he is today? Will Ry still be such a free spirit with her little sassy walk? Will Dyllan still love to smother me with kisses until there is slobber running off my chin? So baby boy, here is to you, my last baby, to your brother, and your sister. I love you all with every ounce of my heart!

Lawson gardens

I took my 3 kids and my neices to Lawson Gardens in Pullman for a photos shoot. After many, I have to go potty crys, finding a potty, and coming back this is what we got. It was lots of fun!

I Believe.....

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, It doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...That we don't have to change friends if We understand that friends change.

I Believe...That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I Believe... That you can do something in an instant That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...That it's taking me a long time To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...That you should always leave loved ones with Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe... That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...That we are responsible for what We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe...That sometimes the people you expect to kick you When you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...That you shouldn't be so eager to find Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...Two people can look at the exact same Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...That your life can be changed in a matter of Hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...That even when you think you have no more to give, when A friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I Believe...That the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything.

Happy Birthday Princess!

A Celebration of Independence

We had an amazing 4th. We went camping on the St. Joe river in St. Maries Idaho. We enjoyed the fireworks, family, and friend. We are so blessed in our lives. We even got some oldfashioned homemade icecream and apple dump cake cooked in the dutch oven; it was heaven.

and Nancy's Wedding 6/14

We have been sooooo busy this month! How time flies; summer will be over before we know it. Kaleb graduated from preschool the last week of May and we are so very proud of him! It makes me sad to know that we are going to be having a kindergardner this fall. We celebrated with Jesse and Nancy on the 14th as they got married; I took their pictures. Kind of something new for me, but very fun. Ryleigh is still the same sassy little girl that we love to pieces. Dyllan, well, he is growing too fast! 9 months already! Kelsey and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary over the weekend; it's amazing that we have made it this far together. We went on a romantic getaway to Quinn's Hot Springs in Paradise, MT and had the time of our life. Neither one of us wanted to leave!
