Christmas.......

Christmas is my very favorite time of the year. LOVE LOVE it... Here is Oakley helping put up the Christmas tree. Love her.

Chile

Well, I know your all waiting for an update. As of right now, today we will not be moving to chile. So you can all stop crying.... :) The company just moved two guys down there last week and they are working things out with them so they don't need us down there right now. Hopefully, in the future but we are not putting any money on it. Caz and I were really excited for this new adventure and I already have Oakley's passports back. For now we will enjoy are family and friends. Some day we will spread our wings and do something extreme! Today we are needed here!

Happy Halloween

DORKS!!! Yes, I know! Caz and I got out our good old High School goods for Halloween. It was actually kid of fun. I even got to wear his High School ring on my necklace. HAhaha.... we totally ROCK!

(cry,cry, cry) yes, I took down the Chile post. We don't know what's going on.....

Good Times

Good old College roommates. I'm so excited Madi and Audrey are both prego with girls! That is so nice and refreshing because all of mine and Caz's friends have one or two BOYS. Not that I don't completely love boys or anything ( I hope to have one someday) but Oakley could use some girl friends... I can't wait to take pictures of Presley and Lula... HAHA Audrey.. I totally vote on the name Presley!

Simple Life

Today it hit me like a ton of bricks as I edited photographs. I'm so grateful for the simple things in my life. Just a glance from Oakley can melt your heart or make you laugh so hard you cry. Three kids in the tub, just being kids! The wind running through your hair reminding you your alive. I don't know why in this moment my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. Maybe because Oakley is actually taking a nap today or the sent of life is in the air. Whatever it may be I'm grateful.

We go through life always getting advice of "enjoy the simple things" but do we really ever take it in. Most the time I feel like life lives me when it should be the other way around. So today I'm going to stop, breathe and notice something I haven't before. I'm going to enjoy every second with my baby laughing and crying together. I'm going to kiss my Husband as if it's the first time today. I'm going to walk outside with my hair down and shoes off. I'm going to live life today.



This is my life twice a week and I LOVE these three kids!

Girls in Vegas

Us girls went to Vegas without husbands, boyfriends or any kids it was so great. We had a blast sitting by the pool, doing a LOT of shopping, going to a show and eating great food. We laughed our butts off over our "new hair." It was so fun being with my sisters/best friends and spending time together. Love you girls!

13.1 miles

I made it, we made it. The months of training finally paid off. I ran the whole time which is exactly what I wanted to do. My cute husband was at the finish line matching me. Oh, picture perfect.

From the Journal

15 months has passed as sand in a hour glass. Personality has grown as a firing, red, rose. My baby a page ago was fresh and green. She grew as fast as you turning the page it seems. As I look at her I see a fire burn, her personality deep. She notices details and learns at an extreme speed. With her honey colored hair that grows straight forward and hangs in her face you can see she'll be faithful. Though the back is full of spiralling curls that exenturates her fun, crazy personality she is one much like the woman that gave her life. this little ball of energy has hazel eyes with shades of gray. look close enough and you'll get lost in the mesmerizing glow they have. you may even experience a land of imagination. How tinny she is, so small yet not completely fragile she roams taking in all life will give her. Testing boundaries at every corner she runs fearless as an untamed mustang. Her soft and cuttling nature is never afraid to let silly, goofiness take over. Our entertaining angel is an outgoing eagle, flying high with joy for the future. Just starting her journey, she sings songs of a great life full of joy and success. This small, sensitive spirit has such an amazing voyage ahead of her full of good works and faith. Adventure will run rhyming with her song. hands of service will be her greatest tool. With a heart of gold and faith to move mountains our Oakley Rain will be and already is an important part of the futures plan. We pray she may stand tall with a perfect knowledge of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I see great potential and straight in my babies future and when no one else believes in her she can know her mother always will. Let your free spirit fly my wondrous butterfly. Trust the colors of the wind and the song of your heart. Don't forget there are spirit angels that pray for you. A Father and Mother that love you more than life. Live your life with a smile on your face and joy for the future, helping others along the way. Remember where you came form which is a very loving Father/Mother in heaven. We love you and forever will. Hugs,kisses forever and more...

Oakley made that cute tie for her Daddy!
