My top 5 (stolen from Christine)

Sooo here they are...


1)Bradley Cooper---his eyes are to DIE for! YUM!


2)Shawn Christian---he might be an older man but WOW! I dont care lol I still would do naughty things with him.


3)Pat Green---he is just a great great guy. He is laid back and isnt afraid to be himself. I think for Pat.. its his personality that makes him sexy.


4)Eric Martsolf---hes just sexy... he is always shirtless and who doesnt like that.


5)Galen Gering---I think he has some sexy eyes!

Thoughts and Life

I have really been thinking about some times lately.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like if you had changed just ONE decision you have made in your life?

How long does it take to forgive someone? I mean sure you can say it and really truely mean it but deep deep down can you forgive? Even if what you think happen he/she says it didnt really happen but you just arent sure... something to think about.

Should you have to bring things up to your S/O over and over? Should they know better and not give into the temptation? Or should you just let it go because its really not that big of a deal? (even if most people say it IS a big deal)


DO kids REALLy have to fight over E V E R Y T H I N G????!!!!! I mean seriously!!

Why is it summer already? My kids have 1 full day and two half days left of school. Im excited to not get up early anymore... well not at 6am anyway. I will be getting up around 8 or so.. much much better.

I really want to be a more Christian family. I mean we believe and we walk by faith but I just wish we could do more. My nephew who is 3 can quote verses I dont even know AND use them in the right content. How awesome is that?! I wish I had taught my kids to be like that. I want them to be like that. To have that kind of relationship with God. I need to work on that.

I really hate that my kids are growing up. Im a preschool kid kind of person... I know nothing about teenagers.. or preteens. Jason is needing the sex talk.....Bekah is needing the period talk and I totally dont want to have either!! I dont even know HOW to start with that. UGH!!

Soooo thats my thoughts for the day.

Man I suck at keeping up with this thing.

Ok so like I said I suck at this!! I need to try and keep up with it more. Ok so for what has been going on...
Christmas came and went fast! The kids got alot of stuff as usual. School is finally started back! THANK YOU LORD! I love my kids dont get me wrong.. but in moderation lol No just kidding.. I was just getting tired of the constant fighting they were doing. THey were just getting tired of each other and I can understand that. The kids are just getting soo soo big and I have no idea how that ever happened! Jason is 10 1/2 now and has turned into that weird almost teenager! Hes not my little boy anymore and it SUCKS! :( Rebekah is the same old Bekah. She is doing great in school. Hannah is my little drama queen who doesnt want to grow up. She is doing absolutely awesome since having her surgery. In 2 weeks it will have been 6 months and she has gained about 6lbs. Which is amazing for her. Owen.. he is out moose. He is doing great in school. THe teachers said that it was like a light one day and he just started doing incredible and acted like he really wanted to be there.

Overall. Life is great. Im thinking about going back to school in the fall to major in social work. I havent decided 100% but thats what I have been thinking about lately. I have 8 hours a day to myself.. so I could take like one class a week and not be overwhelmed.

Anyway.. God Bless you all!

Toddler Land

Well a few of you know I have my cousins little girl, Eden. She is 20 months old and such a cute little thing. I love her to death but I TOTALLY forgot how toddlers get into EVERYTHING!!! lol Shes a really really good kid. I havent had one problem out of her. Well nothing that isnt normal toddler things. I miss this fun carefree stage :) Ashley took some pics so as soon as she sends them to me I will post them.

Gotta love football season!

Apparently my kids went to a pep rally today.. well not sure if you guys know but that makes kids W I R E D!!! So....my kids are running around the house like bancheese and come back and they are dressed like cheerleaders doing cheers.

THIS is what I saw first. LOL Big sisters are great for making embarrassing pictures




Then they decided they needed to preform a pep rally for me.. its in several sections but you get the point.

The Start Of Something new

Ok so this is my first post on a new adventure. I thought I would start this for family and friends that dont get to see us often. So I will start with an update of everyone then go from there :)

School started 2 weeks ago... Mommy is LOVING the free time and the house stays sooooo much cleaner :) You know thats always a plus!! Right now Im just enjoying the day to myself although Im sure that will get old soon but for now... I love it! David is just working his heiney off as usual and taking care of us.

Jason is in the 5th grade this year. So far so good. Of course I dont think they have really started any work yet, but we will see. He just turned 10 last month and got a (used) laptop, a cell phone and a bebe gun!! Anyone else have trouble with that idea lol Im optimistic this year will be better than last. One more year and he is in middle school YIKES!


Rebekah is in the 2nd grade this year and is LOVING being back in school. She misses her friends during the summer. She has always been a straight A student so I dont expect her to have any trouble this year either. She is getting so big and is almost 8.. come November.


Hannah is in pre-k and totally loves school. She loves "miss balock and aunt weesse" She is getting alot better with her speech and I expect this will be her last year of speech theropy. She had surgery on July 22nd. and everything went beautiful. It took half the time they thought and zero complications. She is doing much better now , although we didnt expect any less. We have check ups twice a year for a while but everything should be great. As of her surgery she was 29lbs. We will see how she progresses.


Owen is also in pre-k. I think he likes it.. but just doesnt like leaving mom. Most days he is ok.. but some he isnt. He is a moose! lol That is our nickname for him. He is just rough and crazy. lol
