Loss is never easy

On sunday my husband's grandfather passed away. It was sudden and unexpected. Loss is never ever easy. It is hard to say goodbye to people you love. You always blame yourself for the things you didn't do. The things you could've, should've, would've done. One thing i can say is that he will be truly missed. He was like a Father to my husband, and that will leave a void for sure. Make sure to tell the people you love how much they mean to you. You never know what the next minute holds. I will never forget PawPaw Tom. We miss him already.

Finished home project

I had to write a post about my little project i completed yesterday. It's so nice to complete something and it just turned out so darn cute. First i found this Vinyl Lettering at Hobby Lobby (It goes on 50% off with wall art) Make each day... your Masterpiece.

I thought this saying was appropriate because it is going in the kids hall. Next i found the coolest frames, they are scrapbook frames, made for displaying your scrapbook pages. These were also on 50% off with frames. The scrapbook frames gave me the idea of scrapbook paper(also half off) to fill the frames. I just found the colors i was looking for and picked out a few coordinating papers. Anyways, this is my finished project at the top. I say it's completed but i plan to put a black and white 5 by 7 photo of my kids in the frames. I'm just going to place them where i like in the frame. I'll post a pic of that when I'm done.

One little monkey jumping on the bed

I have to post these pictures of Mattie jumping on his bed. Well I have to admit, i kinda let him do it. I even encouraged him to do it. Bad mom, I know. Oh well, i got some good pics of him doing it.(One is brighter than the other thanks to photoshop) He is going to be two in June and you know what, it's just cute right now. So i won't tell my other kids about this because you know it's not to cute when your seven year old or thirteen year old does it. Well that's a whole other story. Anyways here is to one little monkey jumping on the bed. I love you Mattie poo!!

With a face like that

How can you get mad at a face like that?? I know all you stay at home moms know what I'm talking about. You go to the other room to do whatever it is that you need to do, knowing your leaving things to be done in the room with the little people. ya know the little people who are clones of you and your darling hubbie. The ones with the sweetest little faces that ya love sooo much. Well, I returned to the kitchen after leaving for a few minutes to switch out the wash and here are a few pictures showing what i returned to. How can you get mad at someone with a face like that? By the way, that wasn't washable markers.

New to blogging....here it goes!

This is my first attempt at blogging. For many months i have looked at many blogs, some i go to daily cause i have to check on people, ya know what I'm talking about? I am a mom to four growing boys. They are growing way to fast. It seems like yesterday I was praying for the family I wanted so badly. You see I went five years wondering if i would ever have a family outside of my husband and myself. We went through years of infertility treatments, several miscarriages, and just a lot of heartache. Ultimately we have been blessed with six children. We have went through a successful adoption, successful in-vitro fertilization, twice. did i mention we are blessed? We have went through getting pregnant without the help of medical doctors. We were blessed to get pregnant with identical twin girls. Olivia Grace and Emily Claire. I lost them during my fifth month of pregnancy. They were mono amniotic twins, which means they shared a amniotic sac. They passed away due to a cord accident. Although they are not with us, they are always and forever in our hearts. I always wanted a daughter. God gave me two of them and they are waiting for us in heaven. I have relied on God to get me through all of it. The happy times, the hard times, all of it. I am hoping to use this blog as a diary of my life. I am hoping that one day my boys will be able to see what my life was like while raising them. Wish me luck!
