Powerful Video

I just added a new video on the very bottom of my page, scroll down and watch it. I came across this on a friends facebook page, thank you for finding this, it is so good..

I am Thankful...

I just want to share all the things that I am thankful for on this wonderful Thanksgiving morning.
I thank My Heavenly Father everyday for my four beautiful children and the blessings that they are to me. I am thankful for the opportunity to be their mother and watch them grow and learn and love, as I do the same. I am thankful to have the most wonderful husband, no matter what, how or why, he is always there for me and our children. He loves me completely and makes me a better person. I have often said he is the other half of me. What would my life be without the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for this I am very grateful. I am thankful for missionary work, for without my family would not be eternal. I am thankful for my home and material possessions that make life a little easier, my Heavenly Father has blessed me with them. I am thankful for the food in my home to feed my family, and for the strength it gives us. I am thankful for all of my family and friends that I am fortunate to have, and for all that they do for me. I am thankful for my life, and health. I am thankful for this wonderful world and the beauty that surrounds me everyday. It rained today and wow, I love the rain. I am thankful for this country and my freedom, and for our military that fight for it everyday. I am thankful for the opportunity to share this with you. Happy thanksgiving!!!

My cutie pie

I went to the eye doctor the other day and he told me I needed reading glasses, I feel like an old grandma. Anyways it didn't take long for the kids to want to wear them and try them out. Olivia of course hammed it up, isn't she so cute. She danced around and said take a picture mommy and so I did.

Happy birthday to you

Chris is going to be a little upset with me for posting this, but I couldn't resist... His birthday was yesturday and the kids and I made him a pink strawberry cake with pink sprinkles and pastel colored candles!!! He always jokes that pink is his favorite color. HA HA. Look at him blow out those candles. I love you honey sweetie Pie. Glad you had a good birthday.

Our sweet lily

In memory of lily, our sweet little, out of control loveable dog. She was hit by a car and returned to heaven today. We are sad but we hope to always remember the fun times we had with her and never forget her.

We love you lily, and we will miss you.

What a MESS!!

Okay my kids are crafty and creative, when I was on the computer the other day Oli comes in with her head down and when she lifted it up this is what I saw, melted chocalate chips stuck to her neck and chest. She would pull one off and eat it. Isn't life grand!! and this is what happens to my house when I blog, don't you love it!!! Thank goodness that they are both cleanable!!!

Hunter Lost his 1st tooth!!!

Accidentally, is the key word here... We were at Emily's last soccer practice and Hunter and Katelyn were goofing around with their soccer balls, and then Hunter screams this blood curdling scream. I turned around and looked at the blood spewing out of his mouth and then I yelled at Katelyn what did you do, she started crying nothing mom (sorry Katelyn) wrongly accused, he did it to himself, he kicked the soccer ball straight up into his mouth. I had just cleaned out my truck and there was nothing to stop the bleeding. I was panicking, so I tore his shirt off and shoved it in his mouth. When I pulled it out to look at the damage his tooth was flipped up into his gums, like the bill of a hat. He stopped crying and screaming and I was still panicking thinking I need to rush him to the ER, luckily I called my mom and she calmed me down and said just get some ice, and all was well. For a week he pulled and messed with it and then on Friday he pulled it out. He was so excited, and Katelyn cried because she wasn't missing any teeth yet and she's 6 and a half. Oh the Drama!!!!!

Emilys SOLO!!

Emily had a solo in her school play "Children of the world"
She did so awesome. I love to here her sing, she has such
a sweet voice. Here is a little clip of her solo.

SOCCER is OVER!!!

It is over and I am okay with that, really!! Hunter was happy, Emily is sad, she loves soccer and Katelyn got hurt in her last game but she stayed in there and enjoyed every minute of it. Here are some pictures of them at their last games and a short video of Katelyn getting hit in the belly...

I love to yell and cheer them on as you can hear in the video, I think that I embarrass them! We had so much fun and so many long saturdays at the fields but it is worth it in the end when they feel so proud and have grown a little more. It helps them to gain confidence in themselves and they enjoy playing and getting to know others kids.

Happy Halloweeeeen!

I can't beleive that Halloween is over, time seems to be flying by so fast. We enjoyed it, I think Olivia enjoyed it the most!

Hangin with my homies!!!

Ok so my kids love to do goofy things all the time, like dressing up, talent shows, singing, dancing, you name it... I took some pictures the other day and I think they are so cute so here they are!
