Happy Friday!

Oh how glad I am that this week is done! I've spent many days deep cleaning and also doing inventory for my Creative Memories business. I am almost done. Always leave the worst for last so sticker counting is now on my list to do.
I am really looking forward to this weekend. Hopefully, I will get to do some cropping. Seems like I am always too busy doing other things. We have Brendon this weekend so that will let Jeremiah have fun. He loves playing with his big brother.
I am still looking for a job. Not sure what will happen. I have had a few calls about babysitting but so far nothing serious. I really wish that I could get some kiddos. Oh well what ever God wants I will do. Sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone and do new things. I got my CM letters in the mail yesterday. So should start having responses sometime this next week. I am really excited about them. I have to get an order ready to go on the 1st. Well I suppose I better get back to work. Please pray for my family, and especially for my daughter's in-laws. There is a special need there. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!!

What a wild week!!

Wow! This past week flew by. Tawny, Evan and Aidyn were here and it was a blast. We celebrated Aidyn's 1st Birthday while they were here. He actually doesn't turn 1 until February, but this way we all got to celebrate with him! This is the first time Evan has got to meet many of his in-laws. Tawny and Aidyn have visited several time this past year but Evan has always had to work. We all loved getting to see him. They are such good parents -- I love watching them with Aidyn. While they were here Tawny found out they are expecting again. Sometime in September they think. They are really excited about it.
Well on to more news. James got a vacation from RV work as he had Jury Duty for a week. It was suppose to last longer, but they called a miss trial on Monday morning. So he gets to go back to work now. He has been really stressed at work and today he talked to one of his bosses and he got some answers to questions he had. He seems less stressed tonight.
I had an interview to babysit some kids but I think I am going to say no. I need to make a little more than I would if I watch them. So I put in an application at WM earlier today. I am hoping that will get me some part-time work. Tomorrow I work at the school, subbing. Just pray that God will put me where he wants me. I want to be in His will and do what is best for our family.
Everything else is going well. I am going to have 2 CM crops in February. Hope to pick up some more business this way.
Well I'm off for now. Blessings to all!

What a wonderful day!!!

Today is a wonderful day! My daughter, her husband and my grandson came for a visit. I haven't seen them since October when I went to Spokane to see them! I can't believe how big the baby has gotten. He is now 2 weeks shy of being a year old. He turns one on Feb. 1st, but we will celebrate while they are here this week. I have really been looking forward to spending time with them. I am also grateful that Evan got to come with them this time. This will be fun to let him get to know everyone that is now his family on Tawny's side. They all look great!! A.G. has lots of blonde hair. I am surprised that his mommy hasn't cut it yet but it sure is cute. I absolutely love it. He was hesitant at first wasn't sure about so many new faces but when he saw J he went nuts again. He just wanted to hug and love and kiss him. J didn't know quite what to think but being the good little uncle that he is he just giggled and let A do it as much as he wanted. He was very gentle with him and it was fun to watch.
Tawny and I plan on doing some scrapping while she is here. Part of her Christmas present is gifts from Creative Memories. I am looking forward to doing this with her!! It's been awhile since I have had time to crop so that makes it even more fun.
This week will be long and fun and totally wonderful. I love having family around and all the laughter and fun they bring.
Hope everyone out there has a great week. God Bless you all!

And so a New Year starts...

Happy New Year to our family and friends. This year was pretty low key for us. My mom came over with my niece and nephew, whom she was babysitting. So the boys watched TV and played in their room, James played PS2, Levi had to work and mom, Katie and I played a new game I had learned called "Farkle". All in all a very enjoyable evening. They went home about 10 or so and we put the boys to bed and decided to call it a night too. Then at midnight the fireworks started going off and woke us up so got to give my hubby a New Years kiss!
New Year's Day is always great because we go to my in-laws for supper. We have tacos and enchiladas. It's a tradition I've come to really enjoy!! My MIL makes the best tacos that I've ever had.
Hope you all have a great week and an awesome New Year!! God Bless you all!!
