Have I ever told you of my almost 20 year addiction which starting when I went to Ricks College in Idaho way back when  they opened a store called downeast outfitters  {which today is downeast basics} I almost  feel like I own shares in the company since I ♥ it so much! 

I liked having something different from everybody else then somebody decided to bring it up here to Canada which don't get me wrong I ♥ it but I hate dislike having the same thing as everybody else! 

But I still love it, still buy and still wear it! 

I do ♥ it 

but

because I'm cheap and  like sales I get a lot of it on sale because my general cheapness girl inside won't pay

 more than 50 dollars on jeans

more than 20-$30 on sweaters and 

more than 10-$20 on shirts 

I'm cheap I know guess what though you wait long enough find the right coupon deals and shop ross/ tjmax /jcrew factory or Hollister clearance & my all time fav downeast you can only win!

....but all that "stuff" and "things" don't add up to anything because most of all and most importantly I ♥.........

this boy....he is the carbon copy of his birth father when he was young from pictures we've seen and the ♥ of his birth mother kind loving sweet caring ....love him..... love them! 

He is really starting to talk and show us what he wants but waving his hands and jibbering its so cute! He is cutting four eye teeth and its the first time with teething that he has been kind of cranky! He is ♥ing nursery and he loves to sing its so so cute! He loves to laugh and be involved in whatever the other kids are doing! he is so fun! {love the bun in his hand and the crumbs on his face :)

this girl.... I♥ watching her practice for her clogging class she ♥'s it and looks so cute doing it! She is loving learning to read and loves her teacher he has been so good for her! ♥ that she is so funny she comes up with the most random things and the girl drama she provides to our house of boys is more than we can handle sometimes but we sure wouldn't change a thing!!! ♥her!

{This morning she was an hour late for school because she took a wide toothed comb and wrapped it three times around her bangs took a half an hour to get it out her poor head!!!  I really thought it wouldn't come out I'm pretty sure she learned her lesson }

kind of a why did I do that lesson!

this M boy.....♥ watching these two play so nicely these days!

M is going to be 5 soon and that is just crazy! He loves preschool and working for wii time/ipad time and drives me insane asking all the time ;) And he still doesn't know where our backyard is.... to him its the whole world.... the dang wonderer!

What do I do with him independent boy is what he is!! ♥ the life he brings to our family fun of spirit that is for sure!

♥ this K boy he is growing up so fast hard to believe he will be 10 this year it  seriously flies! I ♥ that he is kind and takes the time for his brothers and sister .....yesterday morning on the way to the bus M fell and hit his face on the ice....... blood everywhere K didn't even think twice about missing the bus he brought his brother home to me{and still made the bus}  

he made me so happy to know that they are watching out for each other!

♥ that K loves to learn he made biscuits the other day with me I made a batch and he had his own bowl and made his while I made mine he did such a great job!
and can't forget my busy cowboy....

Have I happened to mentioned before how much I love being this guys wife and being a mother to these four little kids and how blessed I feel to be their mother!!
I have a roof over my head, running water, warm blankets, food and faith. That is right now what I am so so thankful for. Looking around the world right now I'm holding on a little tighter and remembering what the base of all life is what makes me happiest and what is the very most simple and important things surrounding me, and they are the very same things I take for granted each day.
 

What are you loving?
