Thanks

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I am still in the spirit of giving Thanks though. I have so many things to be thankful for, 4 of them are in this picture above. I thank God every day, several times some days for the husband He blessed me with. I thought I may not be able to have children, God blessed with 3. I didn't think I would ever be able to stay home with my children, God blessed me with that chance. I am a sinner but I am saved. God saved little ol' me. Do I deserve any of this, no but I have it by His grace. I have so much love for my family but it is nothing compared to the love God has for us. I am nothing. I am a dirty sinner. I am a Momma that yells when she gets upset, I get mad at my husband for small stupid thing, I am not the friend I always could be to others but God loves me regardless and forgives me. He helps me to forgive myself too. Forgiveness is such a wonderful beautiful thing, really. Having hate in your heart is hard. It weighs you down and causes you pain. Just let go. Give it to the Lord. He will help you, I promise. It may not happen over night but keep on praying. God forgives and he will help you forgive. I have so much on my mind lately. I don't know what God has in store for us in the future but I know He will be in it. I can see him using our children to get to us. The other night we sat down to eat and forgot to pray. Lane is usually the one that reminds us, but as we were having pizza he forgot. I look over at my sweet, almost 2 baby girl and see her sitting there with her hands clasped smiling from ear to ear as as she says, "Pay Mumma, Pay!" I could have cried. So we prayed and gave thanks for our beautiful, wonderful children that are one of God's most precious gifts.

Sometimes us girls need a break

Sometimes us girls just need a break from all the boys! Having 2 brothers can be hard on a little Princess. Lucas wrestles her and loves to pull her pretty hair. So sometimes when the boys have been extra hard on my Princess I like to take her in the bathroom and have girl time. She loves it. It usually involves fixing her hair and painting her toe nails. Never knew these things could make a 23 month old so happy, lol. She loves it and I really enjoy it also.

Just to see you smile....


Just to see you smile, I'd do anything that you wanted me to. When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost. It's worth all that's lost, just to see you smile.
My oldest is 4 1/2 and he still smiles like this all the time. That smile that shows how thrilled he is to be doing whatever it is he is doing. Look at that smile, wouldn't you do whatever you could to see it? He is so loving and has such a kind heart. He is the most innocent 4 yr old I've ever met. Maybe we have sheltered him to much, I don't know. I hope he never loses the joy behind that big ol' open mouth smile. Momma loves you to the moon big boy.

Happy Belated Halloween!
