Want to have a moving party??? lol....see you there

January and June are months of superior blessings for me...those are the months that all four of my children were born in.

Today I give you the second birthday post of the week....

Jacob had a very low key birthday yesterday. We had his favorite dinner of homemade tacos, a delicious chocolate cake made by his brother and even accepted an "I.O.U" instead of any actual presents. (NO, I am not a horrible forgetful mother...the Lego store was out of the specific Lego set he wanted so we are waiting for it to come in...we're on the list OK..)

Last year I posted about how blessed I was to be given this little angel of a child and this year he showed his halo and all his little guardian angels were right there with him....don't believe me? Check out this picture....

I have a very good girlfriend who believes that the little specks of light that show up in your pictures are little spirits or orbs... I have to say that in moments like this, how can you deny that theory?? As you can see, my beloved boy is wearing his halo and all his little guardian angels are right there with him.

Happy Birthday Jacob....mommy loves you!

Beyond Blessed

Lily-Anna Grace January 18, 2006
Meeting her siblings for the first time....

I am on day three of a Birthday Hangover...it is what I have decided is happening to me from my youngest turning 4. The emotions are a little much...I don't get worked up about myself aging, but my babies I have a hard time with.

Four years ago I was blessed with the liveliest of creatures. Sweet and gentile, but funny and sassy....she commands your attention and has a brilliance about her that makes people stop and take notice. I have been blessed many times over the past 13 years with my children but the past 4 have been amazing.

I love all my children equally, but have said it a million times over, this little girl completed our Circle of Love. She makes us all complete. She is the finale...our curtain call of children... Circle of Love 2006


2007, First Birthday

2008....

2009.....

To be her mother is an rewarding job, I love her so much! Happy Birthday Lily...

Chomp, Chomp....

Oh, hey there!

What's that you say?? ....Don't talk with your mouth full??? Oh, Sorry.....that is what happens when you have bitten off WAY more than you can chew!!

I don't know what is wrong with me, but I am trying to do it all again!
what happened to my "slothing into 2010..."???? I have a very full schedule this week and yet I have two VERY special birthdays next week, one of which requires (only by my requirement) that I craft like a crazy person...

Before Monday I am trying to make a custom outfit, a Birthday banner, party hats, table decorations and the most perfect invitations for the most adorable "already" 4 yr old. Luckily she only wants two little girls to come over but still...

She really isn't "already" four but one day about 3 weeks ago while i was getting ready for work she came into the bathroom and told me that she was "...tired of being 3 1/2" and wanted to be "this many...(holding up 4 fingers)"

I explained that she was going to be four in just a few short weeks, but she said she wanted to be four now. I said OK and wished her a Happy Birthday. From that moment forward she has been telling everyone that she is already four!

I have asked her several times since what type of party she would like to have for her birthday and she keeps telling me that she doesn't need a party, she is ..."already four...remember we had a bathroom birthday!" and then gives me the look like GEEZ MOM....

Another one for the books....


And, the other birthday is for the most amazing 11 yr old - soon to be 12 yr old who said he only wants to have 3 friends over, eat pizza and watch movies. He also said I could give him an IOU because he knows that the gift he wants is a little out of price range this week. Great Kid....like no other! THANK YOU! Love you Jacob!!
PS: I am thinking of changing my blog name because it is a little difficult to find me if you are not exact with your typing....and that is just not fun!

No power cords....

Tonight we said our prayers....

Our father who art in Heaven, Hallow be thy name.

Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

For thine is the Power and The Glory Forever, Amen....

Lily: Mommy!?!...there are now Power Cords in prayers....daddy says it better.....

Me:...little stumped at first...replaying the last minute in my head...then I had to chuckle...

That is one I don't want to forget.... I love you Lil-Lil....

Sparkly but Frigid

Thursday we went to the Dr's for Jacob...he has been having a continuous asthma attack since Tuesday. NO fun! In the words of the Dr....this "Frigid" air and the dry heat of the houses and stores (or the gym in his case) has brought it on. I am hoping that he starts to feel and look a little better soon.

It has been so Frigid all week that my car battery has decided that it doesn't want to work anymore...thanks!

But....we got the most beautiful Sparkly Snowfall on Thursday night. It was beautiful on Friday morning!! The trees were covered with just the right amount of snow that when the sun hit them the glistened. That is the vision of winter that I want remember!

Almost made the car not starting for the 5th time this week OK...not quite, but almost!

I have gotten quite a bit done on a sweater that I have decided to make for Lily. I think she will be able to wear it before the end of the winter....as long as it stays Frigid!

2010

I have been Slothing through 2010 so far. I am enjoying it..just not fired up crazy trying to reorganize life like so many people I talk to are...I probably should be because I have piles of laundry and closets to clean!

We brought in the New Year with our traditional fancy table and silly food...only this year we didn't get all dressed up in our fancy shmancy clothes....we chose pj's. It was just as much fun!! Who needs Times Square???

The Ladies and their drinks...

We had some good laughs. Like when Lily asked my mom when she got her "middle boob"...that was a classic!! I laughed so hard I almost didn't make it into the New Year. She was referring to the bump you get when your sweatshirt is zipped up all the way. It was really funny and very out of the blue. I still am laughing thinking about it.

We danced in 2010 with some fun music, but I realized that I didn't even see the ball drop, I was taking all the pictures? OH Well...

The Worm...

And she is down.....

But only for a minute....

A small toe boo-boo that required a picture be taken...

And then we rang in the New Year with some sparkling Cider and lots of love....hope the rest of the year is just as much fun!
