Oh how I miss the blogging world...

I miss blogging.I miss reading everyone's blogs. I miss having internet. I haven't had internet on my computer in almost a year. The only internet I can get where I live is satelitte and it's annoying but I must admit  now I am thinking hard about getting it back. It sucks but it is better than nothing. So please bare with me because I soon will be back.

Thank you and I miss everyone of you!!!

Their Momma and Her Aunt

So my days consist of taking care of little people.Until four o'clock five days a week I take care of my sweet Jake and the sweet Chloe.Then I also get the privilege of having Mercedes and Kade home from school. These awesome little people sure keep my busy.They keep me from doing things I want to do(like keep up with my blog) or sit down and read a book.But you know what that is okay with me.They are growing up on me.All four of them.It is just a few short months from Jake starting pre-school.My baby.In one short year and a few months my baby-baby will be in school all day.Yes,I am already tearing up.I keep asking myself "what will I do?".I only have Chloe every other week while her dad is at work and all my babies will be gone all day.What will I do with myself?There will be no more morning cartoons and cereal with Jake,no more so busy I can barely sit down days.He will be off enjoying his new chapter in his life.I can't lie,there is already an empty feeling in my chest and tears are start to run down my cheeks.My babies just are no longer babies.Even my sweet niece will be one in a couple of weeks.The years are slipping away way to fast.I want to just push the pause button and stay right here with them.But I know that will not ever happen.They will grow up.I see this everyday.With Jake and his wanting to do everything himself now.Or watching Chloe take her first steps and saying new words everyday.With Kade and his always wanting to go to his friends houses and be with the guys.Or Mercedes being excited for her sweet 16 and having (gulp) boyfriends.Yep.They are growing up on me.So since I can't stop it, I am going to enjoy it.Every second of it!Even the times where they are driving me to the brink of insanity.Because I know one day,not to far from this one,they will be gone.

So I am going to go snuggle up to Chloe and Jake and just enjoy them.Enjoy them just being.
Have an AWESOME thursday:)

Hugs and Love,
Brandi

Bring in the new year:)

So this is my first post of 2012.I plan on blogging a lot more this year.I just haven't made it to the computer much the past couple weeks.Anyways,

I don't really have anything to write about today so I thought I would share the first week of my Project 366.

Hope everyone has had a good start to their new year!

Goodbye 2011

Overall 2011 was a good year.Yes it had it's bad parts but overall it was good.

In January my sweet Jake turned 3.It was the first time he really got into celebrating his birthday.

February was pretty uneventful though I did finally get my boys tattoo:)

On March 1st I turned 26.YAY!But I was sick with an earache and stuck in bed:(.

In April my baby girl had her tonsils taken out and we found out very quickly that she had a bleeding disorder.One of the worse parent moments ever!BUT on that same day we were also blessed with the birth of my niece Chloe Rylian,who has brought so much joy and love to our lives.

In May my daughter graduated from 8th grade and became a high schooler!!

In June my beautiful daughter turned 15.I can't believe she will be 16 in a little over half a year!

In July my handsome Kade turned 7.He is growing up so fast:(

In August and Sept we moved....twice.It was a rough time and not something I wish to repeat.But in the end we have a beautiful home with enough room for everyone and where everyone is comfortable.So it was pretty worth it(though I didn't think so at the time).

October brought fall-time which I love and Halloween which my kids love.They love to dress up and have the witch fairy come visit.

November and December was spent with family and celebrating the holidays.It was a blast!

Everyone have a safe and Happy New Year!!!

Hugs and Love,
Brandi

Friday Favorites-Christmas Edition:)

Spending time with my family at the church Christmas Train

The excitement on my kids faces when they see all the lights and decorations.

All the time with the family just snuggling and being together.

All the cute gingerbread men.

Cold windy days with hot chocolate and movies.

Life.
