I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

5 Weeks!

Aunt Shirlene sent me a package in the mail for the baby. Actually it was kind of a family package becaus there was something in it for me and for the girls too! She's so sweet! Amoung the things there was this outfit that Alyssa is wearing. I think Alyssa looks so sweet in it! Thank you Aunt Shirlene!

Meet Bella & Berry!

(My kids would not let me name him Edward)

We decided last weekend that our fish, Bella needed a friend. And no, my kids named her after Bella Dance-a-rella! But since we were getting another fish I tried my hardest to get them to name it Edward. We decided to name it Berry because it's eyes look like blueberries! We also upgraded the tank from a 10 gallon to a 30 gallon, and added a few more plants!

Our Big Girls!

Today, Alyssa is 4 weeks old! You have no idea how crazy that is to me. I seriously can't believe it. Time goes by way too fast. Before I know it she will be 6 months old, and then 1 year. I wish she could stay a tiny baby for ever. She is so sweet!

Hailey is FINALLY potty trained! She is such a big girl! She tells me, 'Mommy, I'm a good jobber!' and I'll say, 'Yes, you are a good jobber!' I have no idea where she got that from but it makes me laugh. She is always full of energy, I wish I could steal a little of it.

Ashlynn will be 5 in just over two weeks! That is so weird to me. My baby is growing up. She is so smart and loves to help me with the baby. She is a great big sister! yesterday Anthony started to help her learn to tie her shoes. Within 20 minutes she had it down to a science, I think she's going to be good with her hands, just like her Dad! She is very proud of herself and we are too!



I can't believe that I am a mother of 3! I always knew I wanted to be a mommy, but I never knew that the rewards could be so great!!
