HAPPY 2010!!!

We spent New Year's Eve with some friends and we had a great time. I took the kids pajama's because I thought for sure they would pass out and fall asleep. Guess what???? You know it, they didn't. It was amazing. Bed time is 8 PM at our home and they some times can make it until 10 PM if we push it so to say they were in bed at about 1 AM the next morning is craziness! They did so well. Owen did have a sleepy/zombie like spell for about 30 minutes around 11 PM and then he got his second wind. They had a good time playing with their friends an all their toys. Thank you Vicki and Bryan for the good times. We loved it!!!!!! You guys are great! We love you!



















Happy New Year to all! I can't not believe it has been ten years since the big "2000". To me it seems like just the other day we celebrated the millennium. Our kids have grown so much and I love to be home watching every moment. It has been a struggle the past year for our little family. As I continue to stay home we just cant seem to make ends meet. We thought it was the best thing, almost three years ago, when we brought Faith home from Taiwan if I stay home with her and then having Owen it became even more evident home is where I needed to be. Everything was wonderful with two incomes and then bringing Faith home but as the arrival of our little man, then the bad economy,and the loss of two jobs, medical issues, and not being able to sell our home (for a whole year), we just keep on struggling. It has been a REALLY HARD year for our little family and we are scared to death of maybe losing our home in the near future. I am going to look for some part time work at night but that as well has been a little difficult because no one is hiring. Any who.....Enough is enough. We will do our best to take care of our little family and their dad has been AMAZING while trying to provide and take care of us all and in the mean time going back to school. The construction business is so hard right now. We may have to take a step or two back but I know that in the future holds great things for us and we will be well. Our kids are thriving and beautiful and healthy. We are all doing well and that is what is important and what means the very most to me, that I have a family and we are all well. I hope this year has something fun and exciting in store for us and for all. May you all have a wonderful year and may everyone keep their jobs and continue to move forward and have all they dream of.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Orianna's Blessing

My younger brother and his beautiful wife had a little girl back in September and decided to bless her while visiting for Christmas. They came and stayed with my parents for two weeks to celebrate all the Christmas fun, two birthdays in the family right after Christmas, the blessing of Orianne Fay Bott, and then to ring in the New Year! It was a busy two weeks for the family. We LOVED having them hear and seeing the girls. Always fun to be with family. We are a very close family and see each other often and I wouldn't want it any other way. My kids are so lucky to know their family so well and to be close to them and love them. Family is SO important to me. Love them all!







Let It Snow

Of course there is always time to play in the snow. My cute little snow balls :)
