Wow the weeks are flying by the sun came out today after a long break THANK YOU!! I can hardly believe its May tomorrow and that also means its our 12th wedding anniversary on the 2nd, seriously we are getting to be one of those old married couples!

Its been 12 years of challenges along the way, alot of fun but lots of learning and growing together. I am a lucky girl to be married to D

he is good to me, a strong great example, a very hard worker, humble,

a handy man, a great father

we are pretty easy going and he makes me laugh

and my best friend.

I am so THANKFUL for HIM and the chance to spend the rest of forever with him

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY D !!

{so I'm really slow and have never figured out how to link an old post so you could click on it and go to it?? How do I?}

------------------

I'm also THANKFUL

My brother and his wife had their baby girl PEYTON RAYA yesterday and all is good!She is so cute

all 6lbs of her can't wait to see her

There is a serious baby boom right now..seems like everyday there is another one...

-------------------------

I am Thankful my swim suit I ordered online fits perfectly and I love it!!
Yeah for Downeast Basics and um online shopping aren't we all thankful for that?? ha ha!

Of course I'm the more frumpy version of the swimsuit but I love it ....

--------------------
I am thankful that we live in a day and age where we can keep updated through the Internet or the tv on things like SWINE FLU how are you all feeling {{about it?}} Its kind of weird cause I know four families in our town who just got back from there just makes me more aware of how it can spread so easily. Its nice to know what is going on and to know how to prepare for things like this. I get antsy to get all my food storage done and organized so when things like this say when its so bad maybe not now, maybe in the future but whenever it comes to it we can just be thankful we have a food storage and listened to what we are being told and have been told for so many years.

--------------------

I am so thankful for
MY CHILDREN

they make me laugh

Lauren picks up a map in D's truck the other day on there way home from Ballet

she says: is this a map of the earth we live on? {hum....} or

"mom I met another Lauren a few days ago..... and she was human"....{hum I hope so}

----------------

Masen makes me laugh, cry and scream but he is a fun boy full of life..

He says to me today.. i want water {he loves ice water in his sippy at nap} anyway he says that then he yells NOW...and a few seconds after I hear yeah thats not nice ---- NOW, please...

and every morning when he wakes up he says supper please ?? ha ha a little mixed up?Stinker! He is getting big so fast takes so good and is my worst back seat driver he is always telling me to go slower or faster or to just GO when I'm stopped at a red light, or pretty much directing traffic its pretty funny sometimes.

-----------------

and dear Kolten he is so funny he loves to learn, read and teach me things I didn't know.

He just started taking the bus this week { thankful for that in itself!!}

But I guess his teacher was worried about him missing the bus after school and took him to the bus met his bus driver and helped him on the bus..

He says: mom she treats me like a baby sometimes and it was so EMBARRASSING!

Had to laugh at that at least it wasn't me who embarrassed him this time eh!!

He is doing so so good in reading he loves to read!

----------------

Okay random but don't these look so yummy and easy!!

i love this quote...

"Your toddler will do what they need to do, and not necessarily what you say. If you're patient, then they will be patient. If you speak gently, then they will be gentle. Whatever you want them to be, you have to start becoming."
