Just stuff...

My Sweet, Loving, and VERY, VERY PATIENT husband, JASON
(he just loves it when I make him to a self portrait with me!)

I got new glasses incase you didn't notice! :)

(I added this second picture because someone told me it was the better one :)
and she KNOWS what she is talking about...she's a photographer...and her pictures are beautiful!

I tend to "over smile" but it is my real smile...very large...kinda' like laughing I guess???

So, let's see...today, not much in store here.
Jason had to go to another town about 45min or so away for the day. This church is building a new building and he is putting in there sound and media system....so he said he won't be home until LATE...bummer!

The boys had Little House on the Prairie day at school today...
I was like???? What are they suppose to where???
The only things I have are some Prairie looking dresses that Emma plays in!
I wonder what the their teacher would have said about that and little bonnets...eeek!

Emma is just sitting here playing her Dora Leapster Game (kinda' making me crazy with all of the little sounds? I think just 'cause I haven't gotten my coffee yet!)

Hmmm...any other news?
I am going to try and start a SunShine journal thanks to mymeanderings! :)
Along with a praise journal!
Yesterday I pulled out all of my journals to see if I had any that I could use for them....
I found one that I had been using right before I had Emmm so I was reading a bit of what I wrote.
It was from Jan. 25, 2002
I wrote about how warm it was....50's and how that was so crazy for Minnesota in Jan.
Then I went on to talk about how exciting I was about having a little girl and that I couldn't wait
until LITTLE MEG got here....OOPS!
She isn't MEG...she is EMMA ROSE!
We were going to call here Meg Abigail....I just loved Emma though and was able to convince Jason of it!
After she was born!!!
Some of the other names I found in that journal were fun...it was funny looking back thinking of that time and how hard it was for us to come up with a girl name...or decided on ONE!

There was...
Addison Claire
JoZee Clair
Elliot Yael (yes for a girl)
Penney Claire
Meg Abigail
Meggie Jo
Addie Rose

I do love EMMA ROSE...Maybe if we adopt I will get to use one of these other names. :)

Ok...since I am very much just rambling I better run and get some of that coffee that I am smelling!

"Here I come DOOR COUNTY COFFEE!!!"
(you have to try this! It's the best!!!)

My 2 Boys...what a pair!

My two boys...
Patrick and Calvin
Both age 7

GOTTA' LOVE 'EM!

Pictures from our Sunday

Well, today hasn't been anything to out of the ordinary.

I was home today with Calvin because he has some crazy rash going on with his skin!
Poor guy!
He is itching all over...his poor tummy is all red!

Anyways, so Jason took the other 2 kids to church with him.
I was so blessed though by one of my friends that I met here on xanga that shared her churches live webfeed with me! I was able to enjoy a live church service! It was such a blessing to me!
Thank you so much!!!

It has been snowing here all day today...I have no clue how much we have gotten.
I am horrible and guessing that!

Tonight now we are having some company over and I am so excited to be able to spend some time with other adults! I think we are just going to play games and EAT! :)
(of course!)

Here are some pictures from our day...
I love pictures if you hadn't guessed that yet!
Hahahaha!!!

Emma all ready for church
She tells me this morning after I got out her dress for her, "Mom, the girls are all wearing big dresses now at church, not these!"
Well, excuse me!!!! I guess I am not up on the fashions for 4 yearolds these days!

Emma in her cute new coat from Great Aunt Jennie

Emma kissing her daddy
...she asked me to take this pictures!
She is going to be as bad, or worse than me when it comes to pictures!

Jason
This is the look I get most of the time from him...a smirk!
I think he thinks I am strange...strange is good sometimes right?
Keeps life exciting?!

My big fat baby Clarence

Hope you all had a wonderful Sunday!

STORYNORY

Our house...cleaned finally!

Ok, here are just some very random pictures from our Saturday.

Last night I worked my tail off to get the kids rooms clean enough
that we could even walk in them!
Ugh! They were horrible!!!
Anyways, this is how they are suppose to look! Much better!

(no, I am not posting a before picture...Jason would KILL me!
Hahaha! and I am NOT that humble! I do have a bit of pride...)

Sorry Courntey, I just couldn't bring myself to put a picture of the PIT on...

I love these pictures of Patrick talking to his Aunt Jo...He just loves her!
Here they were making plans about throwing snowballs at Calvin, Emma, and Daddy!
Thanks for giving him all of those great ideas Aunt Jo!
We love you so much!!!
(Look at his face...it is so sweet!)

Emma begging for a drink!
Then pouting when I told her just a second...

Hope you all are having a great and RELAXING weekend!

Coffee Date...Skype

Heehee!

Here is my "coffee date" with my friend E (in Atlanta) using Skype!

This has been such a blessing to me this week!
I was able to talk with Courtney a xanga friend
...becoming a REAL friend, not just a "xanga" friend.
(did that make any sense? Wow! Sorry!)

It makes the days seem so much more FUN!

Thanks girls for brightening my day!

(like our matching mugs?) Oh, I am in the way left hand bottom corner...tiny...)

God KNOWS!

He KNOWS all there is to KNOW about me!
My every thought, every word, every deed.

He KNOWS!
God KNOWS, all that is happening in my life today!

He KNOWS, all that is going to happen in my life tomorrow!

REST IN THIS TODAY!!
I am....

Cup of Tea

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. ~Author Unknown

There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. ~Bernard-Paul Heroux

If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will
cool you.
If you are depressed, it will cheer you.
If you are
excited, it will calm you. ~Gladstone, 1865

Tea should be taken in solitude. ~C.S. Lewis

Remember the tea kettle - it is always up to its neck in hot water,
yet it still sings!
