Facebook

I don't know a lot of things to do on facebook, but I did join. So if you want to find me there, I would love to hear from you there as well.. Somehow I do have 10 friends on their. Some of the people I know are only on facebook and some are only on blogspot, I figured if I did both I would cover a lot of friends. Have a great day all!

Santa Visit

The Learning Express here had Santa from 10am-noon. We got there early and each of the kids got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted. Santa gave them each a candy cane and a small bag of reindeer food to spread on the lawn on Christmas eve. I even got to be nice, there was a lady there with her kids and she had forgotten her camera. I took her kids pictures and e-mailed them to her. I love technology sometimes! The rest of the day was spent running around here and there, but we finally got home and I actually wrapped a few gifts! YEAH! Anyway here are the pics!

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...

I've been tagged to name 10 reasons why I love my children so here it goes...
10: I love my kids hugs, they make a bad day instantly better.
9: I love the fact that Justin loves to read and still likes for me to read to him.
8. I love it when Emilie sits and cuddles in my lap.
7. I really love that both of my kids are so determined to finish things that they start.
6. I love that Justin can see a child crying and want to help them or make them feel better.
5. I LOVE that both of my children use their manners quite a lot.
4. I love how quiet my kids are on the weekend so mom and dad can sleep in a little.
3. I love how Justin lets Emilie play in his room and how he helps her all the time.
2. I love how Emilie shares all the time.
1. I love it when my children still come up and for no reason will give me a hug and say I love you mommy, it melts my heart! I am so thankful for my family!

I know I should have posted this awhile ago, but I am slow. I will tag Amy & Jalynn!

Time flies.....

I realized it has been far too long since logging on and such. For some reason, I feel like this school year has left me with no time to do anything. Even now, I should be getting ready to go out of town, but I can do that later (I think). For now I will just do some updates for all.

My birthday this year was probably the best I ever had. Aaron was great, he arranged for the both of us to get a massage plus he took that Thursday and Friday off to pamper me a bit. Also, the kids and Aaron bought me a light up keyboard. Well, I know I have some great friends out there and I wanted to say thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes. Oh and just so you all can have a little laugh, I was telling everybody I was 35 ( I actually turned 33) and no one is letting me live it down! LOL it was quite funny!

Halloween was fun, let's see there were 8 kids we were walking around and 4 adults. We managed to get them all home safely. Justin was Darth Vader, Emilie was a princess fairy, & Cameron was Harry Potter. All the kids looked great, and I will try to post pics soon of it.

Thanksgiving was good as well. We went to Cody and Heather's house in Denton and spent the night there and stuffed ourselves the next day. The kids all had fun spending time together. I sure hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving as well! Well, we went home Thanksgiving day, because I had to watch kids, but Aaron was nice enough to go to the big sale at Wal Mart. We got an awesome new bike for Justin for Christmas (so SHHH do not tell him). But that was about it. Aaron is staying home this weekend to put the bike together, while I take the kids to their cousins birthday party. Thank you dear!

Well, I think that is about it. I know I don't stay in touch nearly enough, to all our family and friends, we do miss you all and we hope that everybody has a wonderful holiday season.

Heather & Family!
