Time seems to be flying by

I am not sure if I am ready for all of my kids to be growing up. This morning the neighbor, who also has 3 kids, took all 3 of mine to VBS at their church. It is a strange, empty, and quiet morning in my home, (besides the whining of our dog, who also doesnt know what to do with ALL of the kids gone) and I am not quite sure what to do with myself!
It seems like just last week that i had 3 kids in diapers, was breaking one to a sippy cup from a bottle so I didnt have 2 on bottles, and not getting anywhere close to a full nights sleep! Where has all the time gone. I remember when Princess was 2, The Boy was 1, and we brought home the baby # 3 Sassafrass...I wasnt sure I was capable of the life God had given me. Everything seemed hard, I was completly exausted, the piles of laundry seemed insurmoutable, and I thought the sleepless nights would never end! That was only 3 short years ago.

Now I look back on those days and wonder where has all the time gone! I can not believe that "those" days...the ones that seemed as if time was standing still are gone, and now I have 3 big kids who are growing up way to fast.

So here I sit today wondering what to do with myself...the laundry is done, I had a full nights sleep, the house is clean, the dishes are done...such a change from just a few short years ago.
I am so very thankfull to God that He has blessed me with such a full and rewarding life, I know that each season will come and will have its own things that seem to be to hard to conquer, but I am so thankfull that I have God to help me as I rasie His precious gifts to me!

Blogging instead of Scrapbooking...for now!

As many of you know...or may not know, i love to take pictures, and i love to scrapbook, however since i have decided to go back to school i dont have much time to scrapbook. I have decided that this would be a fun way to still be able to document our lives with all the pictures i take, and would not take quite as much time as scrapbooking does!
I will save scrapbooking for those few times a year that i get to go away and spend a whole weekend doing nothing else!!!
So now not only do i get to enjoy how cute my kids are and how fast they are growing...now you all can enjoy it too :)

A Visit from my Gramma



The kids were so excited when they heard that their "Great" Grandma was comming, (and to be honest so was I)! She just came for one night so of course the time went by to fast, but we did enjoy her company while she was here!
Of course the kids had to take gramma to their favorite place in town...

Gramma and Grampas Birthday Visits! Sassafrass

In January we celebrated the 3rd birthday of Sassafrass!
The kids were anxiously looking for Gramma and Grampa to get to our house so i had to get this picture...so sweet!


They came bearing Hello Kitty presents...this is Sassafrass' newest obsession.
A Hello Kitty Lamp

Lots of love from Grampa

Time for cake and ice cream...
I was so proud of how cute her cake turned out


Pretty sure that my kids have to be the cutest ones in the world
The Boy, Sassafrass, & Princess


Sass chose to go to Olive Garden for her birthday dinner and was not sure what to think when they started singing to her and brought out this yummy dessert!

These birthday posts are all from earlier this year, but I am anxious to get some fun posts up so i decided birthdays with grandparents would be a fun thing to do! Hope you enjoy

Trying this thing out!

So i have been wanting to try out this blogging thing for some time now, so here i am! The main reason i have wanted to do this is because we do not live near any of our family and i wanted and easy user friendly way to share my children with them. I figure here i can share pictures, stories, and any thing else that may be on my mind.
I am new to this so please be patient with me...hopefully my posts will improve as time goes on. I hope you enjoy and look forward to being apart of our lives in this way!
