Sunday….ramblings.!!

Not really alot too type about today…just wanted to put our latest family pic on…..our friend Richard got here for life groups a little early and I wanted some pics in front of the family tree. Our Christmas family pics are a little late this year due to Paul’s black eye (thanks to Blakes knee). We have those done on Thursday at Target. But I dont get them till Christmas Eve…so needless to say maybe they will be Happy New Year cards??:)

…Nothing too eventful happened today…although Paul said the cutest thing to me in services this morning. He was sitting on my lap and I was taking the bread during communion and a small piece fell on my lap. He picks it up and eats and say very LOUDLY..hmmmm…very cheesey mommy.!!! Kenny runs our power point during services..so it has been very eventful with 4 kids and just me. LOL!! Just kidding..they are fine….its just easier with a manly influence sitting beside me.
I have a new phrase…Kenny says I create sayings or words all the time..but our congregation has such awesome classes going on right now…I told Kenny I felt so bibically stimulated. He said in other words you are feeling encouraged..oh yes that!!!
I have a new fave church song…These Are the Days Of Elijah…I just love that song!!
We had game night the other night..here are few pics from that as well.

What We Woke up to This Morning????

Last night, Kenny and I decided to brave the freezing rain and head out for a date night….it was soo pretty. Globs of slushy ice were coming down…we did go out for a few hours…to my fave restaurant Panera Bread and went Christmas shopping at Walmart and Gabes.
Well….Blake woke me up this morning to help him to type his paper for co-op!! I looked outside and said there is no way there is co-op!! We had 3 1/2 inches of snow this morning..we may have still had co-op but I knew we had 1-2 inches of ice before the snow fell last night.
So we are home today, no school..no co-op…just a day off!!! YAY!!! The kids went sledding…here are some pics to enjoy!! The kids are having alot of fun….Chloe isnt in any of the pics..because by the time Paul and Camye got outside…she had gotten her feet wet and came in the house..LOL!!
Something Camye and I have been working on all morning is her birthday party…its January 9th and its A Webkinz Sleepover…feel free to leave me any ideas. But you must sign in..hint hint..I know some of you are reading but not creating a blog yourself!!
…yes I know my 3 year old is a boy..but his sisters hand me down pink and purple snowsuit fits perfectly!!!!

Lovin the Holidays

Well I can not wait for Christmas..it is my favorite time of the year. I went shopping on Black Friday with 2 great friends from my MOPS group. It was alot of fun…I finished up my Christmas shopping all but a few small things…and to make sure I have everything even with 4 kids….cant have tears on Christmas morning because someone had more presents anyway.

I do have to get my presents wrapped and mailed to Japan or they will be late!! Also at my mamaws (where we go on Christmas afternoon), we have a gift exchange and I do have one more present to get from that.

I was trying to get something EXTRA great for my hubby but sometimes you have to get things they need…maybe if someone has an idea ..that will work. I did make him a coupon book with some cute stuff in that for his stocking. Oh wait..he will probably read this…

Anyways..this time of year is soo busy and festive. Chloe has ice skating with the teens at our church on Saturday, Kenny and I have parents night out..on the 13th..I think, game night at our church on the 12th…Lifegroup Christmas party on the 21st…4H pizza and bowling party on the 22nd…

What I am most thankful for today….my wonderful husband who knows when to call at the right time to referee a small argument between Chloe and I and then he always has the right words to say to mend everything and straighten the day out. Sometimes girls are just toooo emotional..and yes I mean myself when I say that…

Why I think i will blog??

Okay so I no one is even reading this..which makes even more fun to do this. My cousin has a blogspot….I went and checked it out…very cool. So I had this idea that this would be a great way to keep in touch with my family and with my sister in law and her family in Okinawa, Japan. Hopefully she will get one too..hint hint…and it will help us to keep up with each others busy lives.
Soo..I guess that is it…
