Daddy's little helpers...

We are trying to do some updates around the house. This weekend Shawn and I painted our front room which is a formal living room. This room NEVER gets used unless you count it being a catch all. I am wanting to change it into a sitting room of sorts for reading, my ultimate favorite escape. I have found some chairs on Overstock, that just need to be ordered, sometime..... The boys of course could not be left out on the fun and set out to paint the front door. All in all they did a great job, with only minimal paint wearing.

My sweet baby girl.....or why you shouldn't get a Golden Retroover!

The other day I thought it would be a good idea for Maggie May to put on a fashion show...only she was less that thrilled with participating. After about 10 clothing changes (seriously) I swear she started to roll her eyes at me. This is by far by favorite picture of her.

For those of you who don't know apparently Amy and Mark have promised Isabella a dog when she is 10, and if you ask her she will tell you she is getting a Golden Retroover. :) But you could never have this much fun with a big dog.

Time to catch-up!

Seems like this is my thing a lot anymore. So much is happening and I find it hard to find time for it all. So while it is quiet today-hahahahaha-I'm going to speed blog. I have lots of pictures and things I want to share so here it goes.....

To young?

I know it may seem a bit old fashioned or maybe that my children are to young to think so far into the future but I'm thinking the way to go with them is BETROTHAL. Just hear me out if I pick my children's spouses it not only insures that I like the girls but I....I mean they....also get good in laws to deal with. Makes you start to think about it, come on, admit it.

Back from near death....or what felt like it....

Must have been shortly after my last post that I fell ill, and now finally yesterday and today I am feeling a little bit like I'm back to normal (or as close to normal as I have ever been, :)) After 2 rounds of antibiotics and 3 trips to the doctor I am on the mend. Before Christmas I finally gave in and went to the doctor and found out I had bronchitis, after Christmas I'm pretty sure it had turned into pneumonia and finally this week the doctor gave the all clear. My lungs are finally clear. WOOHOO! I was beginning to think if this was dying I was ready to give up.
Shawn told me on Thursday that I HAD to get better, things just aren't the same when Mom is down, ahh a new sense of appreciation. My wonderful husband has always shown appreciation for my hard work, but this definitely brought it to a new level. I was sick the whole time Colby was on Winter Break, so he had both kids to deal with. This is normally his time to regroup since between Christmas and New Years is typically his down time, needless to say he is more than ready to head back to work tomorrow.
I am so lucky to have a partner that was more than willing to step up, I love you baby!
