Tadens FOOTBALL 2010! #70

Taden played his first year of football and we could not be prouder of our growing boy! His team ended the season undefeated! He played defensive end and ROCKED it! :)

our lifes in a nut shell!

The past few months have been anything but normal or enjoyable in our family.. we have had a few bumps in the road and maybe got off the path, BUT everything is looking up! Jade took a job @ West Liberty Foods in maintenance. He does not love it but with the economy in the dumps any income is better than nothing at all.... Right?? Taden started the 2nd grade this year. He turned 8 and will be baptized on December 4, 2010! He started the scouting program and so far loves and looks forward to going every wed. Taycie started preschool and LOVES it! She is just as much of a sass-a-frass as she ever has been and thats the way we LOVE her! I am now HaPPiLy employed at Malt-O-meal! I seriously love my job! It is so good to work in an environment that makes you look forward to going into work! The only downfall is I miss the kids and Jade terribly! I have an ache in my heart each time I think I may miss one of the funny or strange things they do that makes me smile. I worry that if one of us is having a bad day I may not be home to make sure they go to bed and know that no matter what this crazy world throws at us we will always have each other! (I know they know that but it still makes my heart hurt to think there may be times that I cant be there for them). Jade and I work opposite nights so when I am at work he is home with the kids and when he is at work I get to be home with them! The kids are loving the extra one on one time with dad and I am not going to lie.. It was hard at first to see that the kids and Jade could function without me. I think I may have even said something to the effect like "It sure makes a gal feel loved that no one even notices when she is gone"... LOL Jade then informed me that the kids cry a little every night cause they want to see me before bed. :) I know it should not make me happy that they are sad but I did smile when Jade told me! Jade and my days are filled with lunch dates, road trips and naps together! I think we spend more quality time together now than we ever have! All in all I look back over the past 6 months and know without a doubt everything we endured was blessings in disguise! Sometimes our choices take us down paths we should not have to travel but "with a little faith, love and pixie dust" everything comes out better then expected!

New pics of my lovelies!

Silly Little LouLa!

I Love my kids completly but some days I wonder where they come up with the silly things they do:)! I was in the computer room and I could hear Taycie playing with my decorations on my entry table and so I said 'Lou you know you are not supposed to touch moms pretty things'! Then I hear her run off and a few minutes later come back and get into them again. This time I decided to go take her away from my decorations befor they got busted. I found that instead of getting mad I laughed at what she decided my 'pretty dish' could be used for!
Looks pretty normal!

That little goof put her bowl of doritos in the dish so it was 'easier to get them while I play':)
