FRIENDS

I hope to keep this blog going for awhile, because there are always pics I like to give sneak peeks of and then there are things I always want to remember.

Brooklynn has so many sweet friends. This is one of her special sweet friends that she loves.

5k...

I love keeping up with Baby Carter's blog. They have spent a lot of his life in and out of the hospital. You can read all about him at littlegiftcarter.blogspot.com.

Blair E. Batson is having a benefit walk/run on February 18th, and I would love to help have a huge team for sweet Carter. I'm not in great shape, but I signed up yesterday to do the run and ran today to start my practicing. There are so many apps on your phones to help get you to a 5k. He will be my encouragement to push through and do this!! If you are interested below are the links for sponsor pages and a link to register online. If you join put Team Carter.

Thanks

ZIPLINE..

We recently took a vacation to Gatlinburg and the guys decided they wanted to zipline!:/ Austin has no fear of heights. I asked him was he even a little scared before he went from Mountain top to Mountain top and he said not at all. I would've been shaking.
The scary part was when the doors flew open to the cabin while they were there and a storm came. They were able to get off and didn't finish the last two, but had fun on the experience.

CHRISTMAS MORNING...

Christmas morning our kiddos were very excited to see what Santa brought! I'm still a little nervous over the dirtbike and moped but they are loving em!

NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS!

I'm normally not one to make resolutions or if I do I don't show them to everyone. I think this will hold me accountable and it will be a reminder when I post stuff on here. So here it goes:

1. The most important one of all: I want to spend more time in the Bible. Not only for me, but my children.
2. I want to feel good about me and for that to happen some weight needs to be shed. It's sooo hard to lose and soo easy to gain it back:(
3. There is so much I could be doing in the community and with my church. Now that I'll have more free time I plan on doing some things to help.
4. Finish the next Bible Study with some of the MOST WONDERFUL ladies ever. I know God put me in there and I've had my doubts on whether to do this one or not(mainly because of the drive), but I'm doing it and am SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!:)
5. To stop worrying so much! Most of the time it is no need to worry, but I do://. I know it is a sin, and 2012 I hope I can do better.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I hope your family has had a wonderful Christmas! Our family sure has!:)

Here is one of my fav cards of the yr! I actually did this one, it was from a previous template i had and I changed it up to their whimsical pics...I just love how all of her pics came out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

Tonight we celebrated in the kids room at church Happy Birthday Jesus. Our childrens minister did fun games where he would draw a number and the kid with that no would play the game and pick a prize. They could then give it away or keep it. In the end he was trying to teach them an important lesson about giving.

I'm so thankful for a church that cares about our children. After the new year I want to make even more of an effort to work really hard with my children on teaching them more at home. I know Chad and I can do even better.:)

I'm so thankful for wonderful family and friends. I would MUCH rather give to friends and family in anyway I can, than to receive. I get so much more out of it.(it makes me happy) I hope each one of your families that are reading this have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I found this online about the Birth of Jesus if any of you are interested in showing your children on Christmas Morning....http://www.topmarks.co.uk/christianity/nativity/
