Excited to feel the cooler weather(whoo hooo hoodies), to have my slow cooker going most days( the house smells so good), to be talking Thanksgiving dinner with the family, even seeing the Christmas stuff up at the stores has my giddy! I love this time of year! The smells,the atmosphere, just every amazing thing this time of year brings. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This time of year also brings Tom and mine anniversary. We have been together twelve blissfully, imperfect years. Twelve years of that amazing man being mine. Twelve years of him coming home to me. Twelve years of ups and downs, learning about each other,loving each other. In those twelve years we have brought two wonderful boys into the world to join the amazing sister. We have fought,laughed,loved. We have been everything to each other. Tom is my best friend. He has been there for me through every good and bad thing in my life. He has been the shoulder I cry or lean on. He has been my cheerleader when I need one, never letting me give up on my dreams. He has been my rock though the rough days and my light on the good ones. He is the best father for my children. Their hero. So here is to another amazing twelve years with the man who really is my everything.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I am going to go cuddle up with that amazing man and just enjoy him being there!!</div>
<div>

Hugs and Love,</div>

I wait all year for this season. I love everything about it. Even right now I am impatiently waiting for this amazing time of year.That being said there are certain things I look forward to more than others.<br />
<br />
HOODIES!!! Jeans and bare feet. I could wear hoodies and jeans everyday of the year and be on cloud nine! I'm already scouting out the stores for their arrival.<br />
<br />
Pumpkins.Pumpkin patch.Pumpkin bread.Pumpkin pie.Pumpkin carving. These little(or sometimes huge if you get my husband to buy them)orange things are a huge part of our lives this time of year. I get excited when I start seeing them at the stores.<br />
<br />
Crisp,cool,clean air. Not too hot. Not yet cold. The air smells better. It feels nice to sit outside while the kids play.<br />
<br />
Amazing crockpot meals. I just got out and dusted mine off in anticipation for all the nice stews,chilis,soups and every other amazing,filling meals that bring this great time of year.And oh it saves so much time just throwing everything into the pot and going about your business for the rest of the day. LOVE it!!<br />
<br />
Picture taking. As a photographer(in the making) fall time is my favorite time to take pictures so far. The air feels cleaner, leaves, pumpkins,costumes,the clothes, well basically all the amazing things you can use in your photos. It is amazing!<br />
<br />
Halloween and Thanksgiving. Ah all the little people running around in their amazing costumes having a blast. My kids wear their costumes all of October and most of November. Thanksgiving brings turkey, deviled eggs,cranberry sauce and the beginning of the Christmas season. In our house every night at dinner we all give something we are thankful for that day. My kids love it. It also brings family. And there is nothing I love more!<br />
<br />
Dang it, fall needs to hurry it up already!!!<br />

I've missed it.I hope to get back into it and get back in the blogging world. It's one of my favorites:)<br />
<br />
Anyways it's time to play catch-up.<br />
<br />
Mercedes is 17 now. Yes, <b>17!</b> It's crazy that come next June my baby girl will be 18. With one more year of high school. Driving. College. Working. Her adult life is about to begin. Where I am very proud of the woman is she is becoming I am also sad that her childhood is over. I hope I get through this without days of crying and driving everyone crazy.<br />

Kade turned 9 last month. He is starting 4th grade this month.I can't believe how fast he is growing up. Seems like yesterday I brought him home from the hospital and laid him in his bassinet, staring at that face for hours.*sighs* It goes by to fast!He has the biggest and kindest heart.<br />

Jacob is now 5. He finished Pre-K and starts Kindergarten in a week. Best news: he is talking!!! Apparently he has so much fluid build up in his ears he was pretty much deaf. He got his tubes in last May and he just keeps improving everyday. Being able to have actual conversations with him now is amazing!! He is still a mini-Tom and just plain awesome!<br />

And we finally got a dog. Yes a dog. Her name is Layla and she is my shadow. She follows me everywhere and I just love her to death. I got her for the kids but she became my baby. Crazy!<br />

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.<br />
<br />
So I am going to go snuggle up to Chloe and Jake and just enjoy them.Enjoy them just being.<br />
Have an AWESOME thursday:)<br />
<br />
Hugs and Love,<br />

<br />
I don't really have anything to write about today so I thought I would share the first week of my Project 366.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has had a good start to their new year!<br />

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

<br />
Anyways!<br />
<br />
So Jake is finally POTTY TRAINED!!!Oh my I am so glad that is done.We are still working on night time but that is ok.I just couldn't do it anymore.The boy is turning 4 at the end of January!We tried everything to no avail.So I just told him no more diapers,put some underwear on him and told him to use the toilet.And he did!A few accidents later and he was done.No more diapers!It is so nice.Sad in the my baby is no longer a baby way but nice in the I don't have to buy or change them anymore way.Now to just to get him talking more and we would be good.<br />
<br />
That is all for now.I have to go do some wifey/mommy chores.Just wanted to stop in and let everyone know I am back:)<br />
<br />
Hugs and Love,<br />

The prompt I choose this week is: <br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">#1 Your favorite things to do with your husband/spouse.</span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">This one was a lot harder than I thought it would be.Tom is my best friend so I love doing everything with him.So I have been thinking all week what my favorite things were though.I came to the conclusion everything we do together is my favorite.Maybe that is lame,maybe it is crazy.But it is what it is.I love my spouse.I love doing stuff with him.I love just sitting there talking about nonsense.I love his jokes and how he can make me laugh even when I am mad.I love watching movies with him.I love cooking with him.I love riding around with him.I love the family stuff we do together.I love planning parties and holidays with him.The list goes on and on and on...</span></span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">I guess I have a favorite thing to do with him if you want to narrow it down to one.My favorite would be just to be with him.Spending our days and lives together.Yeah,that would be my favorite.And honestly I just don't care how lame that sounds. </span> </span></em></strong></center>Mrs.Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07789421576244015218noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742740471328552841.post-23106977550332173552011-09-02T17:34:00.001-05:002011-09-02T17:34:59.994-05:00Friday Favorite ThingsI have been reading this linkup on my friend's blog the last couple weeks and love the idea!So this week I decided to link up myself.Head over to my friend's blog <a href="http://giraldohouseofpink.blogspot.com/">Our House of Pink</a><br />

For the most part we have evened out out daily routine and I have a few moments a day to visit my computer.Which means I also get to visit the great world of blogging.<br />
<br />
This last month has been the craziest of it all.We finally moved!!We found this great house with a yard for my boys and one of the coolest things about it is that both kids schools are in walking distance from us.The high school is on one side and the primary is on the other.I love be that close to my kids when they are at school.The only downside is no pantry.But that is one of the great things about being married to a contractor.He can build me one:)<br />
<br />
Mercedes started high school last week.HIGH SCHOOL!That is crazy.Kade started second grade and seems to be taking to school alot better this year.Jake is just ready to go.Next school year he can start pre-k.And Miss Chloe is just growing like a weed.She is teething but she is still happy as can be.<br />
<br />
As for momma here I am just trying to get my house organized and in order and then time to decorate for the holidays.I LOVE fall!So I am very excited that it is right around the corner.We even decided to throw a halloween party this year.It will be a blast.Now to just decide on a costume:)<br />
<br />
Well I hope everyone is well and I am so glad to be able to have time to have my own thoughts again much less blog them.Til next time!<br />
<br />
Hugs and Love,<br />

<br />
My husband telling me he loves me.<br />
<br />
The chatter and laughter of my family together.<br />
<br />
Thunderstorms.Or steady rain on my house.<br />
<br />
Waves crashing at the beach.<br />
<br />
Music blaring.<br />
<br />
The sound of my camera capturing memories.<br />
<br />
Cats purring.<br />
<br />
A baby's belly laughs.<br />
<br />
The guy's hanging out and joking.<br />

My kids playing.Mrs.Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07789421576244015218noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742740471328552841.post-13232889919394585682011-07-28T10:36:00.000-05:002011-07-28T10:36:43.854-05:00School YearThe new school year is almost upon us.The kids are getting excited.The stores are full of all the new clothes and supplies they will need.My daughter is bugging to go break me at the mall for new school pants.Kade is ignoring all my pleas of picking out all his stuff he will need(except his backpack).Jake is no is no longer waiting patiently for his turn to board that big yellow bus(or van as he calls it).He is ready to go to school.As for me, I am just ready for all the craziness the weeks before school starts to be over.I am ready for them to start.I love my kids being home for the summer but am always excited about the school year.<br />
<br />
I miss the school year during the summer.I miss the one on one I have with Jake.Where we take our walks or just sit around watching cartoons and trying to teach him things.I miss our picture taking time where it is just the two of us.I mean I love that with all my kids but with Jake loving photography as much as me it is special between us.I love watching him learn all about the camera and watching him take the pictures.I miss the visits to the schools.Where I can watch my them put on their little plays or Mercedes' and all her school adventures.<br />
<br />
But what I miss the most is waiting for them to come home at the end of the day excited to tell me about their days.Waiting for Kade to get off the bus and those moments he tells me about playing with his friends and what he learned.When Mercedes' gets home and tells me all the drama the seems to fill a teenagers life.Those few moments a day that belongs to only them and me.Where they are still excited to tell mom about their life.Yeah I miss that the most.<br />

<br />
On July 12th Miss Chloe turned 3 months old.She is growing so fast!She is rolling over now and start to grab at things she wants(especially my hair!LOL).She is also pushing up when on her belly.She laughs and smiles all the time.In fact she is such a great baby!She only cries when she is hungry or with someone she doesn't really like.And such a daddy's girl it isn't funny!And Jack is such a great daddy.Doing the parenting thing by himself is hard but he's got it.They will be fine.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from the day she turned 3 months.She is my sweet Chloe:)<br />

<br />
This past month in our crazy life...<br />
<br />
Jake has started to really talk more!YAY!He even repeats you now sometimes.Which to me is awesome.Plus he communicates so much better.Which means a lot less frustration.I know everyone tells me to just enjoy the fact he doesn't talk because when he does he will never stop.Well I want to hear his sweet baby voice saying the words all crazy.I want to be able to hear all those wonderful toddler words.I don't want to miss that with him.<br />

My best friend's baby Chloe turned two months on the 12th.She is such a happy baby who loves to smile at you.She loves her tummy time and can roll over to her side so far.And she is definately a daddy's girl!When she sees Jack she gets so excited!And I will admit I tend to spoil her with all those cute,awesome baby girl clothes...but I can't help it!They are to cute!And I never got to buy baby girl clothes.Anyways here is precious Chloe<br />

Even with all the craziness this past month it has had some great moments.I will TRY to post more often but I make no promises.These great kids of mine sure keep me on my toes.And that is if I ever can get to my computer for more than 5 minutes again.Thank you for reading!<br />

<br />
Here she is at her graduation.She looks so grown up:( <br />

Kade got three awards.One in reading and writing.He also got the Most Improved(the only one in his grade).I am so proud of him.He worked so hard this year.<br />
<br />
We have so much going on this summer so there might be periods I don't post a lot but there will not be a month in between again.That was mostly not being able to log in.<br />
<br />
I really just wanted to pop in and say hello to all my blogging friends and let everyone know that I still live:].And that I am back to blogging.Will be posting tomorrow.I really missed everyone here and will be catching up on reading now:]<br />
<br />
Hugs and Love,<br />

<br />
Nobody knows my babies like me.They don't know their moods or how to navigate these moods to best suit everyone.They wouldn't know the best way to soothe them when they are sick.Nobody would be able to look back and tell them stories of their births and stories of them growing up like me.No one knows the best way to get them to laugh.Plain and simple...no one else is their mom/mommy.I am.And that is why no one could take on that role in my home.<br />
<br />
My role as a wife is just as simple to explain why no one else could take it.Nobody and I mean nobody could handle my husband's moods(believe me many have tried).Nobody else could take care of my Tom like me.That is not me being conceited or such...I just know.Tom is a very complex person and very difficult person to get along with at times.But I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.I don't know why out of everyone in the world I was the only girl to be able to handle him(for a lack of a better word)but I sure am glad it ended up that way.<br />
<br />
Really what it comes down to is I know my husband and children.Not only is it my job(I hate when it's called that)but it who I am.I am their mommy and his wife.I am okay with this.I just couldn't see me being anything else.<br />

<br />
Anyways I will not be finishing the A-Z challenge.I have gotten behind again but I just don't see how I can catch up and still keep up with all the craziness around here.I am trying to help Staci during the day as she is still recovering.I wish I could...I was curious on what x and z word I would have wrote about.But life happens.<br />
<br />
And to make up for it I will share a picture of precious Chloe:)<br />
