It's Christmas?!?!?!?

2009-12-12T13:32:00.000-08:00

What? It's less than two weeks until Christmas and I am so unprepared this year. Yes, my tree is up and decorated, and Yes, I have gone Christmas shopping but in no way am I ready. Nope, I still haven't finished my shopping and haven't fixed any of my ususal holiday treats, Russian Tea or decorated cookies. So much to do and so little time. Next week will be a marathon week. All of the shopping must be done because the girls will be out of school starting the 21st. Time to plan and organize.
Last weekend we had our church's Christmas musical "The Innkeeper". It was great! There was a huge cast as well as adult and children choirs. Mary participated and did a great job. She is not afraid and stands on the front row and signs the songs. Beautiful! Olivia is performing with the choir this Sunday morning. They are using bells for one song and then singing the next. She will do great I'm sure.

Please check out the video below. And I ask you what is happening while YOU are sleeping?

It's been a while.

2009-12-09T10:09:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I have updated. So much has taken place that blogging wasn't up there on my list on priorities. BUT, I am back and plan on updating, and updating often. Girls are in school and doing well.
We had a great Thanksgiving. We went with my in-laws to visit family in Lake City! It was fun! All the kids really had a wonderful time playing together. Food was good but being with family was even better!
I really can't even imagine that it is Christmas. This year has gone by so fast. Dad being diagnosed with cancer and then having surgery and chemo. Thank the Lord, he seems to be on the path back to health. Only a few more bumps in his road. Unfortunely, my aunt, dad's sister, is in the hospital now. It seems cancer has been found in her abdomen. More tests are being done now. She could really use prayer, as well as the family. She has been a huge support for dad and mom with his cancer, now the role will be reversed. Cancer is a beast!

Lazy days long gone!

2009-09-08T18:19:00.000-07:00

Well I know that the lazy days of summer are long gone! We are in full fall mode. School, work, homework, softball, KidsPraise and somewhere in there we eat, bathe and enjoy each others company. The girls are loving school! Kindergarten is a BLAST according to Olivia and 2nd grade is fun according to Mary! It is hard to believe how fast time flies. I am really trying hard to enjoy all of our moments but it is really hard when we feel so busy. I am thankful for Sunday traditions that give us time together as a family. I am thankful for great friends and family and last but not least I feel blessed that God has given me my girls and husband! Enjoy your day and be thankful for what you are given!

Summer Times

PJ Party

2009-04-26T18:17:00.000-07:00

Tonight was Olivia's KidsPraise performance. The name was "PJ Party: Prayers to Jesus". They did a great job. She wore her princess gown with matching princess slippers. She looked fabulous to match wonderful singing! I am a proud mom!

Blessings!

I just wanted to take a moment and say how grateful I am for my blessings (yes, James is included)! Mary and Olivia give me such joy and hope! Mary is so excited about school and learning...it is amazing! Olivia has such a kind heart and old soul! I am so very proud of my girls and how they are learning and growing into real little girls! Those two have a very bright future ahead!

Yes, I know they get their good looks from their mom!

Long Time No See...

2009-02-09T19:51:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I have blogged. We have been busy. No excuse but just busy. I hope to update with pictures soon.

I had read another couples blog who lost their baby daughter to cancer yesterday. It made me go hug my girls in their beds. I can't imagine their grief. I am so thankful for my healthly girls.
I have realized that you have to be in the moment because you never know when you won't have that moment.

So soon I will have pictures of our moments so you too canm be thankful!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-17T17:43:00.000-08:00

I know that it has been a while since I have been on here. We have been busy with work, school, church and all the other family activities.
We had a good Halloween. We all went to the Trunk or Treat at church. There was a lot of cars for gathering candy. There was also bounce slides, hayrides and food. We all had alot of fun especially the girls. Maggie was the Mad Hatter and Olivia was a vampire. They both looked really cute. There were tired from the night and went right to bed.

We have completed our first week of school! Everything went very well. Olivia has enjoyed moving up to the "big" class and see old friends. Maggie is enjoying seeing all her friends.

Today was our first soccer practice. It went really good. Everyone seemed to have a good time despite the 89 degree weather. First game will be Saturday.

I couldn't find Lucy the other day. I called and called for her but nothing. So I went on a hunt. First the horse barn...nothing. Under the porch...nothing. In the woods...nothing. Finally when I was just about ready to give up I heard something underneath the RV. And this is what I found. Lucy decided to get the last little bit of food from the automatic feeder...she got it alright. Her head was stuck in the plastic container. She then out of fear I guess climbed under the RV. Everytime she tried to climb out she would bang the container on the RV then on the ground. Her head was like a tennis ball back and forth. Finally James pulled her out. We had to pull one ear out then tug and tug to get it off. She was very happy and patient with all the pulling. But it was absolutly hillarious!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!

VBS

2008-06-27T18:32:00.000-07:00

This week the girls have been attending Vacation Bible School. The theme this year was "Outrigger Island". Aloha!! The girls had a great time. Tonight was the VBS Family Night. They performed their VBS songs and well as telling parents what they learned for the week. They did a great job! Maggie was very excited. The first day I signed her in and she pretty much pushed me out the door. Olivia was excited but a bit overwhelmed. There was alot of kids in her age group! But it was a great week for both!! There was an average 0f 550 kids per night--wow! That's alot of kids learning about Jesus. The teachers had their hands full. Also Maggie's picture from VBS was chosen to be on the front page of our newspaper! She was "famous" as she said!!

2008-06-25T11:45:00.000-07:00

This is Maggie and Olivia posing for pictures after Maggie's

dance recital. The recital was "Peter Pan".

They did a great job! Maggie was "Tinkerbell" in the second act

and then she was a Pirate in the third act. They had a great performance!

After the performance we came back to our house and had cake and ice cream.

It was a really good night.
