I am not someone who worries about things. In fact, I find it useless to waste my time on things that I do not control. I just would rather be happy and enjoy the minute I am in than worry about a moment that may never even come. However, there are days when I do get caught up in the craziness of life, and that is w…

Trent has had to wait awhile for his present from Nana and Papa. First there was shipping delays and then a punishment that consisted of no trains (or anything involving trains) for over a week. Tonight, his joy was endless. He was so excited to open his new presents and so happy to have his trains back. Hopeful…

It is time to confess... I LOVE Chicago! Yes, the one that has been around forever...with all their great 80's songs! Now I could blame this on many people: ~My parents for giving me saxophone lessons ~My best friend Sara and I for listening to "love songs with Delilah" way too much in the seventh grade…

It has been raining here..a lot! Yesterday, everyone slept in until 8:30. We woke up and it was pouring outside so we thought it was a great chance for some indoor fun with the kids. We got changed into our favorite clean pajamas and had some yummy french toast. We had all kinds of fun playing puppets, rock concert, s…

Trent's eyes are amazing to me. He has an amazing ability to see or hear things only once and retain the information forever. He is such a kind hearted, intelligent boy and I love to watch him learn new things every day. From the mouth of my very sweet and very active two year old..."No  ni -nights mama"…

This is Dylan's two year pictures and  Aliya's  eight month pictures. Soon I will have Trent's five year pictures for all of you to see as well! They are growing so fast!!

Dylan says that these are "Dylan's shoes, comfy!" They are really my shoes that I wear to the fire at night. He loves to wear them around the house and will not let me have them. It is very cute.   Aliya was so sleepy that she fell asleep in her high chair at dinner.

It is hard to believe that this handsome man is my five year old son. Trent has grown up so fast. He had a wonderful birthday party and was very excited by all of his presents. It was a great day, but I still don't want to admit that he is getting older. One of Trent's favorite gifts was a train clock, th…

Today the boys went and got their haircut. They look so cute that I had to take pictures and show them off once again.

It was 90 degrees this weekend, perfect weather for all of Aliya's cute summer outfits. Today it is 64 degrees...time to go shopping (two pairs of pants are not going to cut it)!!! Trent was practicing to be a baker yesterday. He made some delicious biscuits.   He also drew this picture of flowers notice that he d…

Aliya seems to find many inventive ways to keep up with her brothers but this way, by far, is the one that makes Nate and I laugh the most!!

Dylan loves all trucks. He really likes watching a fire truck movie we have in his fire hat. It is so cute!! I do everything I can to protect my kids. I try to teach them how to be safe as well as have every single baby safety item I can find in my house. But the fact is, is that sometimes they will get hurt. I was st…
