Happy Halloween!

I can't believe it is already halloween! I am so excited about tonight! I am taking the kids to our fall festival at church while Todd is at work. When he gets off, he is going to come meet us and we are going to do a little trick or treating! YAY!! Halloween is so much fun! Then I have to be at the hair salon at 8:30 am tomorrow! That is really early to be the day after halloween, but it will be well worth it. I have been needing a hair cut for quite a while! This should be a really great weekend!! Only one more week until I will be on my way to Gatlinburg!!! I can't wait. It is my favorite vacation of the year! Todd isn't going this year and that stinks, but the kids and I will still have fun!! I will post some pics next week from halloween!

Fun Weekend!

This weekend was really good! Friday night, we went to my sister-n-laws house. The kids played while we watched scary movies eek eek eek! Saturday, we took all the kids to Tannehill and man was it packed!! There were sooooo many people there. But we still had a great time. We trick or treated at all the campers and some of them had adults that were dressed up as monsters and other scary things. Well, Caleb would not trick or treat at those campers! They didn't seem to bother Hannah until one of the monsters (not a person, it was a thing that moves that you can buy like from walmart) reached out and touched her! She cried and cried and cried. Poor baby! Then we walked by this one camper and they had all kinds of ghosts and monsters (fake ones) hung in the trees and set around the yard. My mom leaned over and was looking at this really ugly monster and said, "that is one ugly dummy." And all of a sudden it jumped at her. It about scared her to death. I almost couldn't quit laughing!!! After we left Tannehill, we went to my mom's and drank hot chocolate YUMM!! Sunday, we didn't make it to High School Musical 3, so that will be our adventure next weekend. But, we went to church and then to my mom's for lunch and birthday cake! Happy birthday to me hehe. It was a wonderful weekend. Well I guess I better get to work!

TGIF!

I'm so glad today is Friday! The weeks have been really long here at work lately. Today would have been the perfect day to just stay in the warm bed and read a book. I love days like this! We have a fun filled weekend planned! Tonight me and the kids are going to Nicoles for dinner and movies. Tomorrow morning we are going to my mom and dad's to hang out and then we are heading to Tannehill for the kids to play and trick or treat around the park! They are so excited about it and I must say I am a excited about it too! Sunday, we are going to church and then we my mom and I are taking Hannah and Caleb to see High School Musical three!! YAY!! Hannah and I have been waiting sooooo long for this movie to come out. Yes, I said Hannah and I hehe. I love High School Musical. I know that I am a nerd, but I don't care!! Oh and Sunday is a very important day!! That is the day that I officially become an old woman LOL. Just kidding, but I will be turning the big 25!!! I just can't believe it! Where did the past few years go?! Oh and if that doesn't make me feel old enough, Hannah has her first loose tooth!!! What happened to my baby?! My children are so wonderful. They truly make this life worth living! Well, I guess that is all for now. I have to get back to work.

Joy

I don't usually post two days in a row, but my heart is just filled with so much joy today! I had to share it with everyone. Do you ever have days when you are just so overwhelmed with happiness? Well, today is that day for me. I am just so thankful for my wonderful husband and beautiful children. They really make my life complete! God has blessed our family abundantly! I love my life and I am so grateful that God placed me in such a loving family. Well, I guess that is all. I am just so happy, I had to let it out!! :)

Monday Again!

Well, it is Monday again! The start to a whole new wonderful work week LOL! The kids are at home with Todd today since school is out. So, I got to sleep in just a little bit longer this morning YAY! My day started off really good and then it happened! A poor little kitty ran right out in front of my car. I couldn't stop because there was a car right behind me. I feel really guilty about it, but I'm not letting that ruin my day. We had such a great day yesterday. I got up and got me and the kids ready for church. We made it just in time! I watched the kids walk up the stairs to their classes before heading to my class. I am helping teach the 2 and 3 year olds. It was fun and Monica did such a good job on the lesson. After church, we went home and I made lunch. Then we took about a two hour nap ahhhh. When I finally got up from my nap, I cooked dinner and cleaned my house. Oh and I got tons of hugs and kisses from my babies!! It was a very relaxing day. I think this is going to be a very good week!

HANSON!!

Today is the big day!!! Me, Casey, and Heather have waited 10 YEARS to see Hanson in concert!!! They were our favorite band ever through our preteen years!! We are so excited! I didn't think I was going to get to go, but my sweet friend (Heather) bought me a ticket! She is moving to Illinois in two days! I am going to miss her so much, but I couldn't ask for a better last night out! We are going to have such a great time and I am so glad we get to share this together! Hopefully, I will have a few pics to post tomorrow!!

Loving Life!

When I look at my life and all the wonderful things God has done for me, I am so amazed! God has blessed me with the best family. I am so thankful to have a husband who loves his family with all of his heart. He works so hard to provide us with everything we need. Hannah and Caleb are my precious angels. They can make me a little crazy sometimes, but they are my whole world! My mom is my inspiration! I don't know if she realizes just how much she means to me. I don't think I could make it through this life without her right by my side. I don't get to spend much time with my sister and brother, but they are so very special to me. My daddy would do anything for his family. One of my most cherished childhood memories is when my daddy wrote me the sweetest letter on my 16th birthday. My grandparents love us so much. They have helped us through so many different struggles. My sister in law, Nicole, is such a dear friend. I love spending time with her, Field, and Rylan.

My friend, Kim, and I were talking the other day about the economy and how things are getting worse and worse. She said it has really made her start reflecting on her life. Along with my mother, she is one of the most passionate christians I have ever met! After that conversation, I have been thinking about the awesome friends and family God put in my life. I was starting to loose my way when it comes to my walk with God. I haven't been to church in a while and when I'm not in church, it makes it easier to do things that I know are not pleasing in the eyes of God. He has been so good to me and my family. So, last night, I picked up my Bible for the first time in weeks and had my quiet time with my precious savior. Today is a new day and I am going to praise God for it and everyday that follows!
