Life with Francine & Molly....

So life with two new rodents isn't near as complicated as I figured it would be... They are VERY easy little pets. Not dirty, or stinky at all and super kind, loving happy animals and I truly think they love the girls JUST as much as the girls love them! They will just hold them for hours at a time, they don't run away. The cages are easy to clean.... I think I may be enjoyng them as much as the kids, which is scary-- I was nervous about these guys!

The dogs seem to do ok as well..... Its funny. Brandon pointed out that Molly looks like Sully and and Francine looks like Zoey....  no we didn't do that on purpose :)

The dogs just sit and stare at them. Occasionally they will whimper and "talk" to the Guinea pics and the guinea pigs squeak back...

Zoey is asking "Are we related??" :)

Living Naitvity Scene (Playing Catch-up)

Playing Catch up! AGAIN! Seems like I never have enough time in life to keep y'all updated on our happenings... so lets pick up where we left off!
Right before Christmas my friend Natalie and I went to eat at Clays... on our way home, we saw a 'Living Nativity' scene on Clay & HWY 6 and decided to stop... it was so cool. The kids LOVED it. KK ran up to Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus and said "Happy Birfday baby Jesus!" It was so cute!

Santa Claus 2010!!!!

We took the girls to see Santa and KK promise that she wouldn't cry. She got really quiet and really leary when we saw him and I knew she wouldn't last... Briley on the other hand was in LOVE with him as usual.... KK Screamed her head off at first and after about 2 minutes was just mad and quiet :) Love these memories!

Life Goes On....

Things HAPPEN. People treat you unfairly and do you wrong. You could spend your time sulking and asking why, but God doesn't put us through trials to have us ask why. He puts us through trials to make us stronger and glorify him in all ways. You must find the good in every situation and rise above it and make yourself better than you were before and in the the meantime, pray for the people that wronged you, because they need it more than you know.

It's been way over a month since I blogged, for a couple of reasons....

#1) Lightening struck  about a month ago and changed everything we have known for the past 10 years.
#2) My blog was misbehaving and told me it was out of space, but I found a way around this which is great!

This being said.

LIFE GOES ON.

You forgive. You Pray and you rise above to become 10x better than you were before and we are there. God has an awesome plan for us and he is walking us that direction now and I am just thrilled for our family.


October was a busy month... It was my birthday.... My WONDERFUL husband threw a surprise Birthday party for me...... I was shocked and felt so special :)

So in a nutshell that's what is going on..... I am excited for this week....
My family is all flying in and I can't wait to see them.

I am so thankful for all God has provided our family. When he closes one door he opens a bigger, better door. I am blessed beyond measure.
