SUNSHINE!

I love that this GIRL is a small replica of myself... (she may not love it as much). She is creative and KIND. She can talk your leg off, make ya LAUGH, and bakes a mean cake. She will always be my PRINCESS.

I LOVE that I have a daughter more responsible than ME. She is energetic and FUN and carefree. and she laughs with HEART. and I love that she's MINE!

My SONshine! I love having a SON, I love everyday when I drop him off at school, he ALWAYS turns back and gives me a smile and a wave EVERYDAY! He lets me snuggle him like he's my baby and I am glad.....because he is.

I LOVE this girl right here. She has TAUGHT me so many things and still does. She taught me to love everyone, enjoy life, work hard and pack a lunch. She taught me this with a smile on her face and a prayer in her HEART. When your with her you know your LOVED!! She sings or whistles a tune where ever she goes, one of my favorites is "You are MY Sunshine." Today its cold outside, the wind is blowing and I am FREEZING! But right here, right now, in my heart, I am WARM and soaking in my SUNSHINE!

Treasure!

I could never quite find the end of the rainbow, I always tried. Remembering it being so close, then just as I would almost get there it would some how move a little further out of reach. I dreamed of what I would find, gold, rubies, diamonds. Dreamed of things to come beautiful clothes, big house, all the things of little girl dreams. If I only knew then what true treasure is!!! Not big fancy houses, or big diamond rings. All of the worldly things that seem so important pale in comparison to LOVE. The joy of giving love and being loved are my truly my greatest BLESSINGS and my Greatest TREASURE.

First Day of School!!

Jasa and her cute friends, so excited for 5th grade!!

My handsome 1st grader!!

Kodi first day of middle school, looking so not like a little girl! (sniff, sniff)

I cant believe that summer is over and we are back to school, they were all very excited this year. Kodi was a little nervous to start 7th grade, but when I picked her up she was almost giddy about it! It was such smooth transition for her. Jasa was a bit nervous because she wanted the other 5th grade teacher, turns out she got the best one! Everyday when she gets in the car she a smile from ear to ear, I think 5th grade is going be a great year for her. Last but not least Philip loves his 1st grade teacher, I got to know her a bit last year and we are so excited to have her. Philip has come home singing a cute new song everyday!! I think he loves first grade already!

So proud to be the momma of these awesome kids, so grateful for them!! They grow so fast it seems like they were just babies. I can remember thinking I cant wait till they can..... Now I find myself thinking cant they stay babies for ever. I love every second of being their mom. I am making an effort to enjoy today and not take things for granted!! I hope that this the best school year ever, with all of the good and bad that comes our way!!

Pre Game Show!!!

Whip It!!

We took a trip down town to skate world,(Can't get enough of this smile)! We had a good time( I watched and giggled. I didn't want to take any chances I think I am a bit young for a hip replacement!!) The kids had a good time skating! We are thinking about starting our own roller derby team!!
A pic of my babies, although they are NOT little anymore!! So so sad! My boy is in desperate need of a hair cut, but we have made a deal not to cut it until schools out. I hope I can last that long!
Jasa and her cute little friend Maddy!
What a good big sister, she was so patient and helped him until he got the hang of it! Then off he went!

Oh so Proud!!!

I am so proud of my Kodi, she received the Principal's Leadership Award for her school!!! We attended a banquet down town with her Principal and teacher. They chose one student from each school, what a honor!!
I think Kodi was born a LEADER, I am so proud of her and the choices she has made in her life. She is an AMAZING beautiful person. She always gives 100% in everything she does. I am such a proud momma!! It is so great to be her mom!!! And look at that BEAUTIFUL smile, no more braces YAHOO!! Kodi I LOVE YOU very much!! Keep up the good work!
