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!



EXAMPLE of GIVING IT TO GOD

I just found this blog on another blog I follow called KELLY'S KORNER. This family really needs prayer. I think about this family and wonder what I would do if this were my sweet baby boy. http://erikandkatekrull.blogspot.com/2011/03/sweet-dreams.html#comment-form

NICE WALK

I have been super busy this week and it doesn't look like things will slow down any time soon. I wanted to atleast post some pics of our nice walk we had yesterday. It was sooooo nice outside and I wanted to get out of the house before the madness of the night time routine started.

Logan was cracking me up while I was trying to take his picture! He was trying to kick the camera and the angle that I am at makes his legs look about 10 foot long.

THIS WEEKEND

This weekend was a BUSY weekend! I repeat.... it was a BUSY weekend!!!
I had UIL (an academic competition for my MS kids) all day on Saturday. I had to be at school at 7:30 and after a night of only about 3-4 hours of sleep, that was early for me to deal with loud kiddos! lol
My kids did really well and I was very proud of them! 1st, 2nd, 4th,and 5th place in Science and then 1st in Listening. All of the morning practices we had finally paid off.
My hubby went to Monster Jam and didnt get home until almost midnight Saturday. I enjoyed the time I had to play and cuddle with my sweet baby boy, then after he went to sleep I stayed up and made some items and embroidered others.
Another night of minimal sleep on Saturday night meant that Sunday was going to be a long day. I cleaned my closet, the laundry room, and tried to tidy up some of the mess in the house. Evidently I have been slacking a bit on the housework.... I figured if it didn't bother me it didn't bother anyone else??? Guess not!
We made our usual trip for groceries, got them put away, washed and packaged fruit for the week, and then it was time to get sweetie from his nana and poppy. Bath time, night time, sew and embroider, then ready for bed myself.
Luckily, PRAISE THE LORD, sweetie slept all night until 3, he ate, then back alseep until 6:00.
It was a busy weekend... I wonder what next weekend will be like?
