Ordinary Miracles

I am so grateful for all of the little ordinary miracles in my life. I am learning to appreciate and enjoy all the everyday little precious things about my family, especially my kids, that all to soon will be a sweet, distant memory. I love the messy wet kisses, the "mom will you snuggle with me" whispers, the "guess what I did" accomplishments, and the little comments of "your the best mom I have ever had." I am really trying to learn to live in these precious moments. All too often I am so rushed and hurried by unimportant things that I overlook these special times and moments. My goal from here on out is to relish in the messed up hair and fingerprinted windows, to read books and bake cupcakes, to tell secrets and whisper more than yell, to charish the smells of baby lotion and crayons, to be there more, and most of all to enjoy every step of the wild ride!!!

Happy Valentines Day !

I had a WondERFul Valentines day!! TD was so sweet and baked me the cutest cake ever! He frosted it with tons and tons of cream cheese frosting, because it is my VERY favorite. He also gave me super cute running pants (to run off all the cake calories) cause you can bet I am eating the WHOLE cake!! He even cut a heart out of another cake and frosted in pink...Ahhhhhhh! I am so lucky to have such a caring and amazing husband :) The girls also had a fun day. Grandma and Granpa Croshaw sent them fun packages with candy, pjs and singing toys. Its a family tradition to put the packages on the front porch, ring the door bell and run. The girls loved it! So Happy Valentines day.

Going Buggy!!!

Payten had her second grade program today. It was so cute, the entire program was based around bugs. Her class were dressed up like bees. Payten did a great job with her speaking part and I was really impressed at how loud they sang and how well they knew the songs. I was very proud!

Getting better.....

Okay!
Slowly but surely I am figuring this out, and I am determined to keep better track of my life, so I am feeling pretty good about myself right now! I will try to post maybe once a week while I am working :) I am looking forward to Payten's 2nd grade program today and I will post some pictures tomorrow. She is going to be a bee and she even has a speaking part!

Really....me a blogger?????

I really can't believe I am doing this.... I swore up and down I would neeever blog, but here I am. I think this is a really good way to journal and keep track of my cute girls growing up. With my forgetful memory and BUSY schedule, I need all the help I can get. So HERE WE GOOO!!! Stay tuned for pictures and what I am sure to be very minimal postings :)
