Trimming the Tree

What is better to do on a cold cold night...but of course decorate the tree and have hot cocoa with marshmallows!! Who knew hot cocoa was a toddler's dream come true!

Umm..Yummy



Catching Up...

Our Thanksgiving was pretty close to prefect! But I missed my family.
My brother went home for Thanksgiving so knowing he was home made me miss everyone even more.

The weather turned out to be very nice and the food of course was great! I think next year Logan is going to deep fry the Turkey..lol..he learned from the pro!

Tim's sister Jenn and her hubby Chris was there...and of course Ryan!

We had a surprise visitor, TJ, Tim's cousin showed up and that made it even more special.
Our thoughts we were with Tim's granddad who is still recovering in the hospital and his Granny.

Here are a couple pictures from Logan's internship..lol

Count Down to Logan's Transistion Week!

I have been dreading this time since last year!
I know it is good for him to move on and meet new kids and to get used to another teacher...but it is sad for him and for me. I think the part that has me the most freaked out is he goes from 10 kids to 20 kids in his class....UGH! So now he has 19 other kids' personalities to incorporate into his own...just wonderful! I think he will adapt easily to the other kids because he is a social butterfly...but the new teacher is going to be tough...he truly loves the teacher he has now.
They suggested transitioning him the week of Dec 15th!! --But I am not sure if they have my buy in yet because of the holidays and people being on vacation...I would rather him start on a week when they can guarantee me the teacher will be there and not a substitute.
So say a prayer for us!

Things I am Thankful For....

  • I am thankful that god gave me Brittany - Because it made me focused


  • I am thankful that I divorced my ex-husband the right way - Because it made it easier on Brittany

  • I am thankful that fear didn't steer me wrong when it came to moving to Florida with Brittany


  • I am thankful that my cousin Tasha met Jason - Because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have Tim!


  • I am thankful for Tim because he made my life whole


  • I am thankful that I was told I couldn't have kids - just so I could prove them wrong and because of that I enjoy Logan even more!


  • I am thankful for the gift god gave me when I had Logan - It wasn't an easy road but I truly know how much I can endure and know all will be okay.


  • I am thankful for my family because they had to give up so much when I started my new life and we still reamin so very close.


  • I am thankful for my in-laws and all the extended family that came with my marriage because they are there for my kids and for me....and they don't mind that I lean on them so much because my family is not here.

  • I am thankful for the choices I have made

A Husband's Patience...

I sometimes wonder how my Hubby puts up with me and all my quirks. I have to admit I am not the best wife by far! I don't make him dinner, or hand him a beer after a long day, or even baby him when he is sick. Obviously he is getting the raw end of the deal. I am opinionated and always have to argue why my way makes the most sense (I avoided the...I am always right phrase)..or what is the proper way to discipline the kids. So one day I had to stop and think...what DO I do? You have no idea how hard it was brainstorming..so I am going to try and be better.

Top 10 Things We Argue About..

10. Who got more sleep the night before

9. Who's turn it is to change Logan if he has had a accident

8. What are we having for dinner

7. Who's turn is it to go and fetch a gallon of milk from the store

6. Not spending enough quality time together & disciplining the kids

5. Regarding how things just tend to show up in the mailbox that I have ordered online

4. That there is a proper way to open a 12pak of soda

3. Me taking over the outlets on his side of the vanity and not picking up my makeup some mornings.

2. Cleaning the finger prints off the patio door is a big deal

..And the number one answer is..

1. That a man will live longer by having sex 4 times a week
