Cookie Night

My family is pretty funny. My kids have great and at times inappropriate sense of humor. I appreciate them. Below you will find the ghost of Christmas Past  and Rocky Mountain High Santa.

O He Has My Heart

I really like this kid. When we are alone together he talks up a storm. He loves adventure and coffee. 

She is Going to Falcon

Yahoo!!! And he realizes that his little girl is almost in high school. 

I Don’t Do People

I wish I could get the video to post, it was so funny. 

Die Hards

It’s way to cold for me and ice cream. 

Mom’ n

I don’t have the mom thing together at all, although it appears that way. What is seen on social media is the truth, we are happy and have amazing moments BUT,,,there is a lot of not postable moments that happen. I feel like I’m constantly rushed, I don’t read enough to my kids, I slack and give in, sometimes cookies are okay for breakfast and dang it, cereal for dinner! We typically have mismatched socks and there are many times devotions happen on the way to school instead of happily sitting around the breakfast table. Lilly and I have a conflict of interest as to how much makeup is acceptable for 13 and Owen likes to throw his favorite sweatshirt in the dryer every morning and call it clean.. And the husband.. well he is amazing at making his own lunch daily and keeping everyone alive in between those magical postable moments. Lol! 

The only time of year I seem to have a good grip on this mom thing is Christmas. If only I could live in a Hallmark movie throughout the year. 

Foster Care Event

Lilly is an ambassador at her school and worked a community event for local foster kids. I was incredibly impressed with Lilly and the other kids and how well they loved the people at this event. Some of the band members also played. I’m so thankful for the opportunities that Lilly and Owen have to serve between school and church. 

Me and Pook

Owen and His Kindergarten Buddy

Lilly and Faith

Bass Pro

I’m not a fan of the Bass Pro... Says my face. I sit happily by the fire until my family is done with their shopping. Gary bought me a present at the Bass Pro :) You would think after 19 years of marriage he would know just to tell me in pretty and bring me ice cream. 



 

Christmas in Full Swing

Well

Well... This happened. We had just been talking about all of Lilly’s mishaps! She has had a tic tac in her nose, an eraser in her ear, a pen spring in her tongue, and got hooked by a drywall hook! Now she has added a roofing nail to her leg. 

So yesterday the kids visited my parents to help get their Christmas decorations out of their sheds. Everyone in our neighborhood has had new roofs because of the hail and there are nails everywhere. Poor Lilly slipped and got one stuck in her knee. No vacation could be complete without a visit to the ER! Lilly passed out, Owen nearly passed out my parents felt terrible, lol...We were thankful that the nail did not hit her bone and after some numbing the doctor pulled it right out! Lilly is happy to have a pass on gym class for the week! 

Snow Globe

I love our weekend in Breckenridge every year. This year the weather was perfectly bad! It was so beautiful to walk around in the cold and blowing snow! It’s exactly what I imagine when we go. We had amazing food and just a sweet time together. 

Thanksgiving

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We started Thanksgiving off by watching the parade! It’s one of our favorite things to do each year and then we had a wonderful dinner at my parents with Teddy, Shania and Allie. I’m very thanyfor my family and the fun we have together.
