Trick or Treat

Tagged

Here are the rules:

1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 6 random thingsa about yourself
3. Tag 6 people at end of the post
4. If you are tagged just do it and pass the tag along


1 . I am a mother of 2 wonderful girls, have a wonderful husband and a yellow lab Kalie. I can't believe how fast the girls are growing up. Madelyn is 5 and it amazes me how grown up she is. And Macie is 2 1/2 and challenges us at times but that is good.

2. I went out on a date with my husband last night it was great. We are trying to have a date once a week. Man it helps so much to just have some alone time and to have a whole conversation. Strongly recommend it. It is so important to stay connected.

3. I am spending the whole day cleaning and making meals for next week which is pretty much what I do every Friday. I work in Marshall which is 140 miles for me round trip so I am not home much Monday-Thursday so I have to get a lot done on the weekends. I like to get it out ot the way on Fridays so I can enjoy my family on the weekends. I love my job though. For anyone that does not know I am a dental hygienist and just love it.

4. I am probably more excited for trick or treating tonight then my girls.

5. I have a huge passion for cooking and decorating my house. If I could get paid for those too things I would be in heaven.

6. Jesus rocks!

Ok so I don't know 6 blogs to tag but I will take Kari and Jenny E and encourage anyone that is reading my blogs to answer the tag when you leave me messages.

Sneek Peek

Here is a sneek peek of the halloween costumes. We had a fall festival to go to last night and the girls got to dress up and get candy and play games. Tinkerbell is Macie and Prilla is Maddi (tinkers friend). They had a blast and more halloween fun to come Friday. Can't wait for more stories and pictures. I will write by thoughts tomorrow night. Just got home from work and it is like 9.

Halloween Memories

So we have had a very busy weekend. Friday I painted my basement and my mom was great to make some camo items to go with the color. I just love the basement now. About time I put sometime into the basement. So I had to add some pictures of the final product for those of you that do not live close.

It is a VERY windy day here so I thought I would add a picture of the play house being tipped upside down. Lots of damage was done in the area today.

Last but most important we spent the afternoon making cut out cookies with the girls and frosting them. It was so AWESOME! So important to put everything done and make memories. Of coarse the kids just loved it. Thought the pictures painted a good picture, thought they spoke all by themselves without adding titles. Macie had her pretend phone next to her when she was busy frosting or should I say putting sprinkles on her cookie. She picked it up and started talking and I asked her who she was talking to and she said her "boyfriend". I tell you that girl is going to be interesting. He was getting groceries she said. Crack me up that girl. Macie worked on one cookie the whole time and I thought it would be best if that was her cookie as you can imagine. She was perfectly content with that. It was a great time, enjoy the pictures.

It was Johnnie's baptism today. She did such a wonderful job today and it was so awesome having her baptised. Now a Child of God. I am so blessed to have a niece and be her God Mother. I will do the best job that I can with her. She is such a blessing that it was so awesome to have this day. She was just beautiful today. What a Joy............................................

Child Of God

Remembering Kendra Jennifer Elness

My very special Aunt Jenny Elness who is like a sister to me had a baby in August 2000. She lived until October 20th, 2001. She was born without parts of her brain. She has not suppose to live for more then minutes the Dr's told us. So you can see she was quite a blessing to this family. She has been gone now for 7 years. Those 14 months that she lived she touched more peoples hearts then we could ever imagine. She taught me what real love was. I never knew that I could love this baby that much. She was such a special little girl and taught us about love, patients, trust in God, Faith in God and in each other and it goes on and on. She was truly an angel to teach a lesson on earth and then it was time for her to go to Heaven where she was not in pain and where she could run and jump like the others. I wish I was a great writer and wish I could go on and on but I am not. I wanted to share with you all that read my blog that Monday is a hard but special day for us. Because we remember the pain but we remember the joy that this little girl brought to our lives and the love she shared with her. Please pray for peace and comfort for the Elness family today. And to enjoy the small stuff life today because we often get so bsuy that we forget to enjoy the wind blowing or looking at the moon. "God did not promise days without pain, laughter with out sarrow or sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way". Love and Miss you my little Kendra Bug. Blessed be your memory. God Bless.............................

Johnnie's Day

We had a baby shower in honor of "miss Johnnie" this weekend. We had a great turn out and really enjoyed ourselves. Johnnie looked beautiful as ever and is doing really well. She was showered with love and presents which was awesome. Next weekend we have Johnnie's baptism so another great day to honor and bless Johnnie.

Halloween Message

The girls received a halloween message today from Grandma Beckie and Grandpa Dan and they really enjoyed it. They like to call them messages. I think that is cute. Thank you!

Am I in trouble?

Here is Macie my 2 year old jammin to the music as loud as it will go. I am thinking I am in trouble, this video will make you laugh. What do 2 year olds think, wish I knew or not? Enjoy

Busy weekend

This weekend we went to Marshall. We had a great time. Friday night we were able to watch my cousin Jade play Volleyball so we enjoyed that. She is a junior already, can't believe it. I remember when she was born and it was not that long ago. She did a great job. We really enjoyed watching her.

Saturday was "Phesant Opener". Clay was able to come with us this weekend and got to go for the first time. The guys all had a great time. Kalie pup is tired out though. Poor girl. We enjoyed cooking for the guys. Some good ole beef stew and homemade bread with some pumpkin bars for dessert. I just love cooking and I enjoy it more when everyone enjoys it. I need to find out how to get paid for cooking and I would be in my glory. I need a show on food network. Okay keep dreaming......

And a big suprise but Johnnie came and stayed with us for the weekend also so that was great for the girls to bond with her and ME ALSO. It was even enjoyable getting up with her a 4:30 am for a feeding. It has been a long time and I enjoyed the snuggling, it is amazing how much you enjoy that when you don't do it every night, ha ha. The not so good part was Macie and then Maddi followed once I got Johnnie up so we ALL got to enjoy the 4:30 feeding. O'well, they were just excited to see Johnnie and thought it is cool to be up when it was so dark out. Me too........

God Bless.

The Winner

Miss Madelyn was the winner in preschool for the pumpkin coloring contest. One child was picked from every grade. She was so excited. She won a coloring book and crayons and a bracelet. She worked on that pumkpin for a long time and was very proud of it. We are proud of her. Way to go Maddi.

Pumpkin time!

Pumpkin time!

Good afternoon! We took the time today after church and painted pumpkins, a tradition that we have done since Maddi was one I think. The girls had a blast. Macie kept saying "that was fun." She must have enjoyed it. Not sure if her pumpkin will ever dry but she enjoyed it. We picked a cool and rainy day but still managed to get it done. Life has been so busy and out of control lately that I have been feeling like I don't know which way to turn. So it is so nice to take time out and relax and paint pumpkins. Sometimes the small things in life make you enjoy the bigger picture.

We Got the Spirit!

Adrian Homecoming tonight so off to the game we went. The girls both had a friend over. Hali and Macie play today at daycare and are going to be in the same class. Maddi and Moriah are 2 years apart but really like to hang out and they play at daycare also. It was spirit day at school today and Maddi was dressed for it but I did not color her hair and everyone else had it so I was not a cool mom today, but we took care of it before the game. Bummer, I want to be a cool mom and did not think I would let me little girl down already in preschool. I am not that old I am still cool, right??????????? I am having a hard time believing that it is already October, man time is flying by and it is going to be Thanksgiving and Christmas before we know it. Have a great weekend. God Bless you!
