SUYL - MY BLESSED FAMILY

This weeks SUYL topic: FAMILY. I feel so very blessed with the family I have been given! I have a wonderful son and hubby who I love dearly
(and sometimes make me a little crazy too.)














I have great parents who love me so very much and support me in every way possible. They have gone without, many times, so that they could provide my brother and me with things we needed. I will cherish them always. My mom is the best Nana and my dad the best Poppy, ever! Here is a photo of them with my sweetie at Christmas.
















My Dad is a man of few words and he will do just about anything for anyone. He is the best! (he hates pictures.... so I do not have many of him)


My mom and I didn't have the best relationship when I was in middle and highschool(MY FAULT), but we do now. We are very different people, but after you grow up and mature, you realize that your parents are really there for you and you must enjoy them while you can. We both started a little business recently (she makes bows, headbands, and other cute stuff - I make clothes, tutu skirts, baby stuff) and have done a craft show together. We both want to make this our full-time job so we can see more of our favorite little man!


Here is a picture of me, my mom, and my sister-in-law at a Christmas Tea at the Arboretum.

















This is a picture of me and my brother ( I was like 7 -8 months pregnant). He is married to my super sweet S-I-L (the blonde in the picture above). We used to fight like crazy, but I think once he was bigger than me, I tried to keep the peace. He used to aggrovate me to death, and I usually ended up punching him and getting into trouble... glad those days are over!!!



















My brother and his wife are expecting a baby girl in JULY. I cannot wait to spoil her! I have been making lots of special items for her :)
















This is my mom and my brother

















This is a picture of all of us on a cruise.





OK - so I know I should probably stop here, but I saw these pics and wanted to post them! and I also wanted to post more, but Cannot find my other camera! LOL - when I do, watch out cause I am posting more!!!










This is a picture of my neice and nephew (on my hubby's side) They are very special to me. I just love these kiddos! They fight like crazy (what bro and sis don't?) but every once in a blue moon, they will put up with each other long enough to play Wii or watch TV, like they are here!














This is my sweet little cousin - she used to think I was her sister (LOL) She came to visit at Christmas along with my Aunt (her grandmother). My baby boy just LOVED playing with them both (and so did I).















This is my other aunt - She and her hubby gave Logan this toy and he loves it :) It is in his play room and he can actually get on it now.












Here is Logan with his GG - PaPa doesn't like pictures!!! My M-I-L watches Logan (what a blessing - no daycare) and he really loves seeing her everyday.














This is my RUTHIE :) She is like an aunt to me. I enjoy our breakfast at IHOP!

  3. Love your post! It sounds like you have a great family that is there for you! I too am praying (and hoping) to be a SAHM. Never give up! It will happen! We have set a date for me to quit and put our financial worries in God's hands. I will be praying that we both can enjoy motherhood the way God intended!

  4. What a great family! Isn't it a shame when we take our parents a bit for granted and then realize how special they are, later? i was the same way with my mom when i was a teen.
