The last few weeks I have done a lot of thinking about this last year.... Matt and I have been through a rough year this last year... There have been some financial issues and family issues ... I have to say that many of these issues would break a marriage in the end it has made ours stronger.. Don't get me wrong their have been many day's I thought this just might be the end but in turn it has made us realize that we need to re lie on each other more ...I truly believe after this year we can make it through anything...


This year I have also learned that I have some truly wonderful friends... My side of the family doesn't live that close, and this at times is really hard for me... My friends have truly become family ... Thank you all for your support and shoulder to cry on without that support I would be lost .... We have had some great times too... Painting parties at my new house and yours, trips to Jelly belly, countless days swimming at your pool, BMX Racing, fun trips to target just to get away and everyone just coming over to play ping pong.. And countless hours on the phone just chatting away with all you...( I hope I have a memory for all of you) I have had a great year with all you and think of you as sisters ... Can't wait for the new year .... You are a blessing to me...



Boy have my kids grown this year Hayden turned 8 and has done a great job this year in school, has been a star athlete on the Base ball field ... You are a caring and smart boy I am proud that you call me mom...



Brycen has turned 6 this year , my little boy who always has a smile with such a tinder heart... You have grown in school so much this year.. You have amazed me how smart you are ... You did so well Racing Bmx And playing base ball.. You are a wonderful son,and I'm proud of you...



Then their is Olivia she turned 3 this year .... What do I say about the little girl who calls me her best friend, but when she mad at me says I'm not your best friend anymore.... Some day's you make me crazy but I love you more then you know...You are so full of funny things I never have a day with out Laughter when your around.... Your funny name for me Momma Mia where you got that I don't know but I'm glad I 'm special ...Your a beautiful little girl .... My mom always said to me Pretty is as pretty does , Remember that...



Their have been many new relationships this year too and ones that have just got stronger... I have realized how blessed I am to have such a great dad, I can count on you in so many ways , Even though we have been through a lot the last few months your support for my decisions has been great, you have a great wife and I'm so glad you have each other... Thanks Darlene for always treating Matt and I and our kids like your own... We love you..



.Matt's parents have been wonderful to they really treat me like one of their own .... It's a great feeling to know I always have you close by for you unconditional love and support ... You are great Grand Parents ...Thank you for always being involved in everything the kids do... They Love to see you on the side lines and always are excited when they get to spend time with you....


I hope everyone has time to reflect on your year and realize that even though we may go through hard times we truly are blessed by who we are surrounded by .... My hope for the next year is to take time to enjoy the blessing I have and not sweat the small stuff...

One Of Those Day's

I know I haven't been keeping up on this blog very good lately ... I have had a lot going on some major changes in our lives... Never mind the fact that it's Christmas time... Any way after a long day today I found myself on the computer trying to escape the insanity of my family ...I haven't even started my Christmas cards and am thinking at this point it's might not happen, anyway as I went through pics of this last year I came across this one

I have to say it brightened my day... Every time I look at it it makes me laugh... What a sassy little goof ball... Hopefully I can get over my blogger block and start writing again...
