LACEE

Lac & Cousin Aden putting on a Hannah Montana concert x-mas day!
Artist of the month at school! She said she would sell her painting for $50!

This is what she takes pics of?????? :)
My snow angel!!

My Lacee girl.......I just love her little spunky personality! She really is a joy to my heart! I can't believe she is getting so BIG! Stop Growing I tell her! It is fun to watch her grow into her personality. She really is sensitive (like me) and strong (like her daddy) at the same time. She's very outgoing (when she is comfortable), she wants to please others (not so sure this is good all the time), and she loves singing her heart out! We love to hear it too! I am posting a few pictures of her and some random ones I found on the camera she took. She's my budding photographer and singer! Eat your heart out Carrie Underwood and Vanessa Hudgens! LOVE YOU DEARLY LADYBUG!!

Stay home Day..

(Poor Luke didn't make it all in this pic. I love when people add pictures to thier post so I always try to find at least one. This is as good as it gets tonight.)

I am a big time go and do girl. Love being busy all the time (well only when it is my schedule and my choices). This is the first weekend when we didn't go out to eat and we hung out at home all weekend (taco bell & a visit at the neighbors tonight after dinner doesn't count). I organized the laundry room and that's about it. Watched a ton of TV and eat a ton of junk (not good but enjoyed it all). I really wanted to go to Target or something last night but decided to put my jammies on and stay with my hubby. It really was nice and I didn't spend a dime all weekend! I don't think these kinds of weekends come around enough and I'm going to treasure them more! Hope you had a fun weekend too!

Something I desire...

I love my little family and want to be a blessing to other peoples families. I really hope to entertain more this year. I believe I have a slight case of OCD when it comes to this. I have great intentions of entertaining but never get around to doing it. I worry the person I ask will say yes to be nice, I worry about cooking the perfect meal & I worry about feeling intimated by others in our home. When we get to enjoy other families homes it warms my heart. We build deeper relationships that make our lives feel fuller. I have fallen into a pit and I think a way out is for me to use what I think I have as a gift to share with others. So now that it's written for the world to read maybe I will be more bold to open our home to others and not feel the urge to have it be PERFECT!

Mommy my ear hurts...

I really hate ear infections! My Lacee girl is really good letting us know when her ear hurts. Just like this afternoon after a fun day of playing with Camps and Coops she lays down on the couch at home and informs me of her pain. I always contemplate calling the Dr.s but every time I end up taking her and every time she is right on the money! Funny thing is she never got them until she was almost 3 and she's had at least a dozen since. I kinda wanna find a natural medicine I could give her to help prevent them. She's had so many doses of antibiotics it's gotta be bad for her.

On another note someone told me about these natural CALM pills you can give your kids. WHAT! I was told they are in the medicine aisle at Freddies. They help you kids sleep better and stay calmer...doesn't seem possible. I will be getting over there tomorrow to read the back of that bottle! I'll let you know what I think and if I purchased them! :) I think everyone would know about these and it would be talked about all the time if they worked?!

And on a final note...I read this last night and thought it was special.

My precious Child,

I am your father-you belong to Me. I love you with an everlasting love. You are created in my image, and you favor me. I have filled you with My wisdom and direction. Even as you wouldn't let someone you love fall, I won't let you fall. I want you to come close to Me. Talk to Me and tell Me your heart, as I am listening. With patience I wait for you to include Me. You are family, a part of my Heart.

-Your Heavenly Father

Blog Books

I recently heard that you can turn your blog into a book with all the pictures and everything! I think that is so cool and kinda makes me want to start blogging again?! Just for the fact that I could have a cool book published for my family to read. I think a lot of you guys should do this! So many of you have awesome blogs and they should be cherished for years to come! You could make one of all your 2007 posts!

Happy New Year!
