Happy Valentines Day!

Today was a good day! Nothing too
exciting, just family time and time
with church family. What more
could you ask for???

Love, Lollipops, Logann's Bows, Law School, and Locomotion

Today I got to stay home with my kiddos
due to snow! I thought I would take a
few moments and update. Here goes...

Subject #1 - Love

Matthew is getting in the spirit of
Valentine's Day by getting his goody
bags ready for his party on Friday.


Speaking of love...did you know that
I LOVE these kids soooo much???
Completely makes me understand
God's love for me much more!



Subject #2 - Lollipops

I surprised myself by giving Logann
her first ever lollipop. She liked it
for a few moments, but couldn't
figure out that she was not supposed
to hold it by the top!


Subject #3 - Logann's Hair Bows

I have waited many years to be able
to buy hair bows, and then make my
daughter wear them. I enjoy nothing
more than finding a bow to match a
new outfit. I kept losing them, so I
made this little ditty to keep them in
one place!


Subject #4 - Law School

Today is my husband's first day of
law school. I am so proud of him. I
can not think of an area that he is
better suited for...not sure why he
got a degree in accounting. I hope he
had a great first day! I love you, Chris!
(Sorry, no pictures here.)


Subject #5 - Locomotion

Look at Logann...walking! It seems
so strange to see, but she is loving
the freedom. My baby is growing up!


Sorry for the long post and all the "L"
words...just wanted to get it all in and
was trying to be a little creative!
Maybe I was not successful, oh well!

Not Me! Monday




I have taken a break from the "NOT ME!" but this week,
I am returning! You can read many more confessions
written by other moms at MckMama's blog.

This week, I most certainly did NOT hear my
oldest child call his sister (a one year old)
a "loser". My child never calls names. NOT
even at his preschool, where he called a friend
a "poopy-face". I do not know how my child ever
could think of such things.

I am NOT putting my children to bed tonight
at 6:30 because they are NOT terribly cranky
and whiny. I would never make them go to bed
so early!

I did NOT have to rewash a load of clothes three
times because I kept forgetting to put them in
the dryer. I am also NOT coveting my mother-
in-law's new washer and dryer because
it actually drys a load of clothes in one cycle...
unlike mine!

I also do NOT hope that it snows like
crazy tonight so that I do not have to go to
school tomorrow! Our school system did
NOT have 13 snow days built in, and we
have NOT only used 7, giving us a remaining
6 days that must be used! I did NOT just
look out the window to see that it is NOT
snowing steadily at this moment!

And finally....
I have NOT lost 17 pounds of my baby weight!
I am NOT the least bit excited, and NOT a little
bit frustrated because I still do not need to lose
about 50 more! I did NOT have a "cheat" night
for the Super Bowl and eat pizza! Not ME!!!

Our Big Snow

I'm a little late posting this, but
here is a picture from last week
when we had about 7-9 inches
of snow. We don't usually get
that much, so it was kind of a big
deal. I am not one who loves
to play in the snow
either, but I just had to!



Yesterday morning, I looked
out to see
that it had snowed
a little again. It
didn't amount
to much, but I still think

it is neat to look out and see
some "white
stuff". I like winter,
but I am ready for spring!

Logann's 12 Month Pictures...at 13 Months


Better late than never, right??? Logann did
not want ANY part of picture taking yesterday.
From the moment I sat her down, she started
crying. Then, when we could get her to stop
crying and smile, she did not want to sit still!
I still think she is beautiful!


After crying calmed down...


Still not sure what she thinks...


Cute!

Taking off...


Bow change...and more cute!


Oh...a teddy bear!

I love it!

Ok...now she's done!

FREE Books!

I just found out today about a program
started by Dolly Parton that I think
is incredible! I am not sure how many
cities/states do this, but I
thought I would share the information
and let you check into it! I signed both
of my children up today. They will each
receive one free book a
month until they turn 5!

Here is the link to
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library

WOOHOO!!! We love books!!!


Here's a picture from today I thought
you might enjoy just because she
is so darn cute!
