My FAILED attempt to look as KEWL as my hip children...LOL!

K so a little background here. I was asked to hold a Detention today at school from 6:30-10:30 AM. Do you think anyone showed? Of course not...it's teacher prep day and a much coveted day to sleep in. (One that I really wanted to have) So I was stuck in a cold room, (my poor sisters would have froze to death) all by myself with nothing to do (heaven forbid I actually get work done). So I caught up on my Facebook. And snapped a few updated pictures on my phone, while I was at it. This picture would be the failed attempt to look hip and trendy. So funny...right? O well, I actually think I am pretty brave to share. I was up at 5:30 and decided, this is a major hat day. I love hats when I am lazy. Plus my mom thinks I look cute in hats". Thanks mom!

A little Love for our Beautiful Brooklin...

Brooklin Kate is the most wonderful daughter in the whole wide world. This girl is not only beautiful on the outside, she is even prettier on the inside. She doesn't live with us right now and we have missed her terribly. She is so close to her younger sister Breea, and her little brothers love her to pieces and get so excited when I tell them that she is coming over to visit. Her younger siblings look up to her as an example of how to be kind, loving, generous, tender-hearted and loyal. Brooklin has blessed my life in many ways: I couldn't have asked for a better older sister for my boys and wonderful Breea. Brooklin has also been a great friend to me, on top of being a respectful daughter. Brooklin has shared and continues to share her many gifts and talents, she is VERY creative. She is an incredible writer and artist. She is extremely loyal to those that she loves, but watch out if you are on her bad side. LOL! She is very intelligent, beyond her years. She loves little children and loves to play with them, teach them and just all-in-all make them feel loved and wanted. We miss Brooklin in our home from day to day but it has opened our eyes to how much we love and appreciate her. We Love You Brooklin!

INTRODUCTION TO MATTY-CHOO-CHOO:


This is Matt. Brooklin has been dating Matt for almost a year now. We love him. He comes over with Brooklin and is a big help. He is so good with the boys, and a great sport. Matty plays football, baseball, soccer...you name it. If the boys ask him he generally says yes. He also has put in a good many hours on the PlayStation too. My kids love it when Matty-Choo-Choo comes over. (yes I made up that name for him, poor guy...lol) Matt works for the National Guard and is also in the National Guard. We are proud of the work he does. He is very talented and has somewhat mastered the art of "free walking". For those of you that have no idea what that is, Google it, it's crazy. Thanks Matty for loving our VERY special Brooklin, and for accepting all of us, despite all the craziness. We Love You!!!

Oww How cute are they???



WE LOVE YOU BROOKLIN AND MATTHEW!!!

Breea's NEW Doo...

How cute does Breea look with shorter hair? Well, pretty much she is gorgeous all the time and wonderful too. (Did I mention amazingly wonderful?) She is so much fun. I just wanted to show off her cute doo to all of you who haven't seen it yet.

Just a little somthin', somethin'...

It's been awhile since I have put anything on my blog. So here are some updates of my cute little chillins'.

Donovan has lost three teeth in the last little while. He is growing up so fast. I am so blessed to be the mother of these wonderful children. Ooo I just wanna kiss em' and snuggle em' all day long.

My RyRy has been my little buddy while the others are at school. But...I got another job at Salem Hills High School and I work at Heritage still. So, Ryan goes to The Mexicans when I can't be with him. Thank you Kim and AJ. You are lifesavers. Thanks to all of you that have helped me especially these past few months. They have been crazy! And if I didnt have you I wouldn't have made it through. (that should be lyrics to a song or something) I love you!
