Look mommy is on TV....

I was sitting on the computer having a great time when Chad comes in " Karleigh says your on Tv. Come see yourself " with his sly smile . I get up "karleigh is mommy on tv?" " Yeah" she says. " Show me" She runs to the TV. Points at who you ask? Andrea on the Biggest Loser and smiles " mommy!"

I know I should be laughing but I almost started to cry. So Weight Watchers Here I come!
Now you see why there are not many pics of me on here. I know Stop boobin and do something. So my next new adventure in life is Learn all I can on Healthy eating. Wish me luck! ;)

Check out that HAIR!!

Karleigh has the wildest hair I have ever seen. This is the other morning. Sometimes I don't know how she sleeps but Wow the hair is sure impressive!

Children as our teachers!.....

I don't think I say it enough! I love these kids! Each one brings such a different spirit into our home! The other day Preston came and laid on my lap while watching T.V. I looked down at him and realized just how big he is getting. He is so independent I forget that he is only 6 and feel at times that he gets forgotten. It is moments like this that open my heart and remind me that he is still so young. He is such the protector of his brother and sister. He truly holds our family together.

For Christmas Preston really wanted his own room. We live in my Sister-inlaws basement and so there is no extra room for him to have his own. He decided he wanted the room Chad and I were in as his and Colton's room so we decided that would be alright so we were moving furniture. The boys have bunk beds as we were moving them I dropped the bed on my toe. I screamed!!! It hurt sooo bad. I was in a bad mood already so when it happened I think it was a the doorway for me to just let out all the anger that was inside. I went into the other room just crying and yelled for everyone to leave me alone. After a few minutes the door opens and in comes my sweet Preston. He just put his arm around me and laid his head on my shoulder as I cried I was thinking to pull myself together I didn't want him to see me this way but then the spirit quieted my mind and said just let him be your comfort. Preston never said anything he just stayed with me. A moment later he left and returned with a bag of ice. I never asked for anything he just did it for me. It is moments like this that sometimes our teachers are our Children.

Funny story about Colton he is definatly here to bring joy and laughter to life. The other day my sister-inlaw was watching mykids for me while she had them she received some bad news about her father. He is sick and is going to have to go through Chemo and she was crying and talking about how he was going to lose all his hair. well Colton went over to her and said " it's okay, cause when I was little kid I got really sick and lost my hair . I just got some super glue and put it back on" Everyone just couldn't help but laugh!

Colton is always saying " when I was a litttle kid" whenever he talks about anything. I think it is so funny he thinks that he is sooo grown up.

Karleigh is just the friendliest little bean. Whenever we are at the store she has to say hi to everyone and tell everyone "nae new" Which is her way of saying Thank you" She says it over and over and most people don't know what she is saying But some do get it and tell her she's welcome. She teaches me to look at people and smile and To always be kind!

I am so thankful for my little teachers and all that they bring into my life!

I really don't have much to talk about! I ran across this cute picture of Karleigh! A couple of my great friends and I went to lunch at Cracker Barrel I love to walk through their gift shop inside there. They have such a aray of things to look at when I came upon this little outfit. I thought it was so cute but I was being good and did not have the money to buy it. After we left my friend handed me a bag and she had bought it for Kar. She said Merry Christmas I was so surprised and so grateful for this cute dress. Here she is all ready for church!

Christmas Eve

New Christmas PJ's !

Merry Christmas!

We have truly been blessed this Season. With loving friends, family and a Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ!

The last Few months I have been learning some amazing truths about life here on earth. I have really built a connection with Christ. I have gone through some amazing growth in 3 short months. I have my Father and Heaven and Brother Jesus to thank for sending me the right people and the right tools to assist me in finding out who I truly am and my purpose here. For that I am in Gratitude.

The Scriptures have been such and amazing tool for me to turn to and for the first time in my life I have been able to recieve personal revelation through them. At times it has been as if Christ was sitting right there on my bed with me and speaking directly to me. What an amazing blessing as well as tool the scriptures along with prayer are for us here.

How Grateful for I am for friends and family that surround me that support me in my growth. Thank you for loving husband that not only challenges me but supports me in indeavors he would at times think were crazy! I am blessed to have you in my life.

This year I HOPE all that are searching for more in life to have faith in our Savior and pray always with questions. Remember what a gift it is for the savior to have been here and simply say "..knock and it shall be open, ask and ye shall receive..." No strings attached. All we have to do is ASK.

Merry Christmas!
