christmas!!

oh christmas christmas we wait all year for you and then you sneak up on us and are gone too soon again!! how i love christmas.... this year we decided to have a all homemade christmas which i think went amazing....!! it helps that im married to such an amazing craftman! it almost felt like cheating lol... and i did cheat because i bought lorenzo a guitar and didnt make him something but it was on ebay and only cost 30 bucks so i felt it was still appropriate!! i really think we were all able to feel the spirit of christ a little more in our christmas too because we had to work so hard on all of our gifts and really show our love for the person we made it for... it really made a difference in trying to keep christ the center of our christmas holiday! anyways lorenzo made korlen a lawn mower because we got tired of him pushing everything around like our kitchen chairs... i made korlen a little wooden tool box with some tools ... fun fun.... lorenzo also made my mom a mantle and emily a rolling pin to go with my recipe box i made for her and he made austin a set of drum sticks... hes so cute i love him... we had such an amazing time too. korlen is just at the right age where his first christmas was really fun... he took it upon himself to help EVERYONE open their gifts esspecially lilly and showed her how to play with her toys lol

Pink is my favorite color

That's right!!!!! Pink it is! It's a girl!!!! What am I going to do with a girl! I'm going to go crazy that's what... I feel I'll get a little carried away with the clothes and shoes and especially accessories but can you blame me? It's finally no more blue and time for Pink!! Besides everyone else is going to spoil her I might as well join in on the fun! If ya can't beat em join em! I am completely overcome with excitement!

Oh bless their hearts! These two are either best friends or worst enimies. And it usually switches between the two in a matter of seconds, several times a day. But when they are playing nice they are like two peas in a pod. Korlen has his own special individual relationship with each of them, but the relationship they have with each other is just too fun! Recently Evelett has been obsessed with holding Tahlae's hand and she will follow him around holding her hand out for him saying "hand hand" he actually doesn't really like this but sometimes he relents to appease her and I LOVE when he does.  I mean how cute is that! They walk along and she will stop him to look at the bugs or dandelions or whatever which is perfect for him because he is THE BIGGEST slow poke I know being the epitome of stopping to smell the roses! Not a day goes by that he doesn't bring me the most random, simple thing like a rock or a leaf that he has found  to be a treasure. So because of thi

Baby # 3

I'm ready to die!!! Ok not exactly actually now into week 12 I am starting to feel better... But up until now death was very much a consideration of mine! This one was a total SUPRISE which makes Tahlae my favorite since he was the only planned child! I have been really sick but not near as bad as the first two... Haven't had to take any trips to the hospital for iv's with this one! And I have had an outpouring of love and support and service! For a while I had a different neighbor coming to my house everyday to help get my kids fed and dressed and then sometimes took them home with them to play. At least once a week someone came over to help clean the house and help with the laundry! We've had several dinners brought in as well! Lots and lots and lots of love and support! And then there's my husband! I honestly don't know what planet this man has come from! He is my rock my best friend and more recently my nurse and house maid as well. He has been working
