MK & The Boys

Today Mary Kathryn (Bud & Leah's PRECIOUS daughter) spent the day with Henry and I. They had a big time coloring, playing legos, exploring in the toy room and watching cartoons. We took a short trip to the park (it was too windy) and stopped to see James and the station. The BIG fun came when Nelson got home from school.... she LOVES Nelson! Here are a few pics. :)

A New Year

I hope you all have had a great start to the new year! I look forward to all that is to come... new work done on the house, a new baby, being more out of debt (!!!!), enjoying my family, working harder at Scentsy.....and so much more!

Looking back on 2008....It was a rough year. Even with all the heartache, stress, and sadness, (and the new presidnet-elect, lol) we still had MANY blessings. My extended family grew closer together again. We had an awesome vacation with my parents. We got to see John and his family several times. Nelson started first grade and has really flourished...and lost a few teeth much to his excitement! Henry and his craziness has toned down some and he has learned his letters and their sounds. James has continued to work hard to support us and we have really enjoyed his days home with us. We've welcomed a new baby into the family...my cousin's Aaron and Teena's precious baby boy Noah Charles. Those are just a FEW of the blessings. :)

I hope and pray that God continues to shower us (and you!) with many blessings during this event filled new year.

Here are a few pictures from the end of 2008!
