5 Minutes For Mom’s Photo Entry

All Three of my kids are so special to me….This is a photo contest entry ..hosted by 5 Minutes for mom…and the prize is (drum roll please) One thousand dollars to spend however you please! How cool is that! Thanks to Egg Beaters and American Express. Everything I do impacts these three little darlings..though they are not always darling. Every decision I make and every attitude I have is teaching them something..and hopefully it is something good. Nine times out of ten it’s a good thing but there are those moments I fail as a parent so here ya go..a great moment in our home! It was bed time and we had just finishing playing with daddy and mommy and the three little ones. They truly are a blessing and we love them so very very much!

I am SOOOOOOO excited!

I have been getting so frustrated with my blogger template! It was so BLAH so i endeavored to find something new! I searched and searched. i searched so much that when I looked at the small clock at the bottom of my computer screen last night it scolded me about being up to 2 am…hubby would have killed me. He asked me what time I came to bed and all I could stand to answer him was you don’t want to know! What was I thinking. I am a very creative person and a very stubborn person at that! I need more color and warmth that what the standard blogger templates have to offer! So I zipped from one end of the internet to the other! ( High speed is great I can’t imagine life without it and it’s only been 2 months!) I found exactly what I have been looking for. Eventually I will have time to actually learn coding and build me own but for now this is what I want. I finally had it all figured out this morning after some sleep….Might I also throw in a pitch for the new windows Vista! The thing has some definite pulses once you get used to the idea of something new of course. So what do you think of the new look let me know! Oh yeah and one more plug if you have a blogger account check out this article in the blogger buzz..this is a REALLY neat new feature! It lets you post the blogs you read and when the last posted and the last blog title. It’s a lot easier than going back and forth through your favorites or your bookmarked items (guilty as charged!)

It’s Party Time!

THIS IS A STICKY POST SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! Ultimate Blog Party 2008 That’s right. It’s that time of year again. It time for the ultimate Blog Party over at 5 Minutes for Mom And welcome to My party. Lets start off with some introductions: This is Tornado…There is only one way a toddler gets that kind of Nickname. He is 2 1/2 and he keeps me VERY VERY busy! (that is my pregnant belling in the background) This is ladybug. She is 1 1/2. She has such a sweet smile and she knows she is cute. She however isn’t spoiled. But those big blue eyes are captivating. This is Vug. (tornado gave him the nickname from a Dr. Suess Book.) he is a little over three months old and is a very laid back little man. So laid back he never let me know he wasn’t getting enough to eat. He truly is a miracle baby in so many ways. This is my hubby. He is clearing all the snow away so the guests won’t get stuck when they pull in for the party..that is not our house in the picture..our house is to the right just out of the picture. This is our dog Montana. He will stay outside or in his kennel for the party…He just likes people way too much…Sorry Boy! This last year so many wonderful things have happened to our family to celebrate..So let’s recap…. This is Hubby and I at hubby’s graduation from seminary. What a proud wife I was! Then in November hubby got ordained a a Baptist Pastor. Again I was a very proud wife. he did a fantastic job! And then one week later i gave birth to our third child..our second son…and again I was a proud wife and mommy. Yes we are busy and yes we love it. I can’t imagine a slow life even though sometimes I think that’s all I want. I enjoy entertaining and having people in my home. I love to scrapbook and read and write and cook and so much more to sit down..pour yourself some tea or hot chocolate and nibble on some freshly made sugar cookies and enjoy learning about my family!

Life is a challenge

With all of my might I will pray! To all of my dear friends I have met online this is my last post! I am sad and sorry but I have to readjust my life a little things have not been so good. I will hopefully someday get back into the swing of things but until then I must say adieu!
