Caleb and Aidan

Rocking Out!

Look out Slash here I come!

Caleb and his friend Aidan were pretending to be Rock stars last week. They were playing the new Guitar Hero for the wii. They were even sticking out their tongues and everything. He loves playing the air guitar and now he can play this one.

My top 10 things to be thankful for:

1. My savior. I am so unworthy of anything He does for me yet He is so willing to do it. He's the reason I live and breathe and hope it shows to the rest of the world.

2. My wonderful husband. I could not have asked for a better husband. He is a man of God and a wonderful spiritual leader for our family.

3. Luke. He is a spirited little boy who likes to test limits. He keeps you on your toes and knows how to keep you thinking creatively.

4. Caleb. He is my little man. He knows how to bring a smile on my face. He is also very protective of me. He is my little boy.

5. Parker. He is my sensitive one. He is very loving and doesn't like to upset you. I enjoy his cuddling.

6. Madeleine. She is the princess I had been waiting for. This first year has been a joy and blessing. I love my liitle girl.

7. My church. We have finally found a church where people are real. I can be myself and not be afraid what people might think. I have true friends that are there when I need them, whether it is to laugh, cry or just talk.

8. My house. This is my first house. I love it. I have loved having a yard. I also love the fact I can paint rooms and that there are no brass door knobs.

9. Sewing. I finally have a hobby I can do. I can't wait to be able to make big things.

10. Christmas. It makes me slow down and think about Christ more intimately. I love to reflect on what He has done for me during the past year. As usual there are too many things to list.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I will be up at 3:00 am getting ready for my yearly dose of madness at Walmart. Happy Holidays!

Santa's little elves must be done for the year. I have proof they are not working anymore. Look and see if you can figure out who our elves are.

I just wanted everyone to know that a good friend of mine has an online store with lots of homemade crafts and fun stuff. She started this business after making all her sons decorations for his room. She couldn't find the right colors or anything and decided she could do it herself. If you are shopping for unique and cute take a look at her store. You can find her blog under my links, Nikki's Nacs. Have fun Christmas shopping everyone 41 more days till Christmas!

Caleb making a bird feeder

Caleb and the turtle rattle


Caleb and his Mimi went to Moss Rock Preserve's Nature Day. They had fun learning about different activities you can do with things from nature. He made a bird feeder out of pinecones, peanut butter and bird seeds. He took flower petals, leaves and grass in between muslin smashed it with a hammer and naturally stained the fabric. He was able to shake a rattle made from a turtle shell, rocks and sticks. He had a blast!

Here are the Halloween pics. Caleb was a ninja turtle and Madeleine was a pumpkin. The best looking turtle and pumpkin I have ever seen. The kids had a blast and Madeleine's first Halloween was so much fun. She smiled at everyone passing by and clapped when she got candy in her bag. She racked up more than the boys. People saw her and gave her handfuls of candy. We went through our neighborhood with our friends across the street. Aidan and Jackson were both Buzz Lightyear. It was so much fun and a great night. Even the adults had a blast. Especially when Aidan got a little too excited and walked into someones house without knocking. We lauged so hard. The people inside when they saw it was little kids laughed too. All in all it was awesome.
