About Me

My photo
I enjoy spending time with my husband. He's my best friend. I love watching my kids. My girls Emma and Eva are learning, growing and changing every day. Our little boy Benjamin is a joy and has made Bobby happy to not be the only male in the house! I like to soak up every bit of their littleness, but I'm telling you they are getting so big! They are cute. My stepdaughter Eternity has lived here since 2008 and it's a blessing to have her here. A teenager in the house really adds an interesting dynamic. Seriously, she's a good kid. We live on a busier street and we are doing a lot of work in our backyard to make it prettier. I should say Bobby is doing most of the work. I'm usually holding a baby or caring for one of the kids or keeping them out of harms way as Bobby works with manly, heavy tools. Life is busy, but I don't want to miss the special moments that come along every day.

Winter Wonderland!

Dad and mom time, cuddling up to stay warm!


Oh how we love to be bundled up!
Enjoying our hill of snow in the front yard
We sure have had our share of snow.  I love it.  I don't get out there nearly as much as I would like with the kids, but I would much rather see lots of snow like this than no snow, grey trees and dreary skies.  I would much rather be blinded by all this whiteness!!  It bugs me when the weather people apologize for what is coming and for the drop in temperature.  We live in a 4 season climate!  We should be prepared for anything that comes our way.  Not be apologetic.  The winter is starting to feel long to some people, especially those of us who shovel driveways by hand or who are not able to get out in the snow.  But it will be melting before we know it and we'll be seeing green grass before we know it.  I enjoy any moments that I get in the country while it is this snowy.  It is nice everywhere, but the country is best.  It is awesome to take a moment and just take it in.  I love to see the snow laying on the evergreen trees and hearing nothing as the snow gently falls to the ground.  It's so majestic.  God is wonderful in the ways that He shows His beauty through his creation.  As cold and blowy as it gets, take time to enjoy this wonderful time of year.
