Merry CHRISTmas!!

What a lovely Christmas day it has been! LOTS of time with all our family! What a huge blessing! I have really been marveling at God's goodness. I have been blessed with so much that I take for granted. I think I spent most of 2010 feeling sorry for myself! I really think it's time to be done with that! I sure don't get to enjoy all that God has in store for me when I'm not obedient to Him! Geez, I gripe at my kids almost everyday for their lack of obedience to me. Not a very good example! So, I would really like to focus more on the good things in life and not everything that frustrates me! It has also taken a toll on my marriage. I have had a hard time feeling happy with my husband. Funny thing, when I'm dwelling on the negative I am not very nice to my husband and I take all my frustrations out on him. He is such a good man. He loves me even though I am moody and ungrateful! We have so much to be thankful for together! I pray that with God's help 2011 will be an amazing year for us and our children! I will pray the same for you and yours!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Finally!

Well, I have finally had two minutes to sit down and update my blog! Good grief Charlie Brown! I hope you are all well! Thanksgiving was super yummy and Black Friday shopping was a huge success! I am almost finished shopping! WooHoo! I was thinking about all the things I personally have to be thankful for and there were so many I couldn't even keep track of it all. However I have been in the most unthankful mood lately! My friend Jen calls it Debbie Downer mood! I am there lock stock and barrel! I am praying for a more thankful and upbeat attitude to come over me!

Will's art work!

Will worked very hard on his rendition of a beaver dam on the Missouri river in Springtime! Beautiful art work if I do say so myself! He is such a creative little boy!

Summer Time!!!

Hi, I'm back and so is summer! We have been swimming and playing and just plain goofing off! My how my boys have grown. We had our first fireworks stand this summer and it was a huge success! Bomber Brothers Fireworks was Uncle Franks idea! It was definitely a long two week adventure but totally worth it in the end! I meant to add those pictures below the words, guess I'm a little rusty!

Guess what??? I got a new job! I am now the secretary at Warren Elementary School! I am so excited to see kids and work with families again! I am nervous about starting a new job again but I know this is God's plan for me and I am following His lead! Here's to a great new school year for all of us!

Dano is going into middle school this fall and Will will be in 4th grade a Rossiter Elementary! And Andrew well, he is 3! Enough said about that! Bill has been working his fingers literally to the bone and is wishing it was winter again! Summers are hard on Bill because me and the boys get to do a lot of playing and he gets to do a lot of working. He's still trying to find a way to retire early, very early! Good luck with that honey! Here are some more pics of the beautiful summer days we have had! TTFN!
