Anabel swears Daddy Saved Her Life today ...

We went hiking yesterday on our property and came back and i totally forgot to look at Anabel and change her clothes due to ticks, not even thinking they would be as bad as they were. Today she was in the bathtub and i was in the shower, she yelled at me and said, "Mommy, there's a tick in my bellybutton, oh goodness get it out now."
Well, to make a long story short, after tweezers and witch hazel, I still could not get the darn thing out, and guess what, there were 2 down in there. She has the silliest belly button you've ever seen, it's an outtie in an innie, you can pull it out if you want. I had to get Daddy, who very calmly and sweetly took care of the ticks, talked her through it and got them out.
I've never seen her hug anyone as fast as she immediately hugged her daddy and thanked him. It was cute.
She said they like her and they think she's their home and that next time she is covering herself in bug spray. LOL
Thank the Heavens for Daddies! :)

And the race begins again ......

That's right folks, starting Monday of next week, we will be on the go every night of the week, soccer season starts again and not only is my Husband coaching the girls team and Kaitlyn is joining in this season, but he is also coaching Trystin's team b/c they didn't have a coach and we wanted them to be able to play. So, that means, Monday through Saturday we won't be home before 7 or 8 at night. WOO HOO!!! :)

Savanna and Kaitlyn are also in a program called Girls ON the Run where they practice two days a week jogging to work their way up to a 5k race in May. Then they are both playing Soccer.

Trystin is playing Soccer, Starr is still in Volley ball and Anabel is along for the ride. :)

If our lives were too perfect it just wouldn't be our family! Busy keeps us alive. Blessed to be a family.

Another year another wrinkle :)

Today is a bit empty, I didn't have that first thing in the morning call from my pops wishing me a happy birthday. Funny how electronics have replaced even a happy birthday. Im 32 today and I still protest that I'm too young to have lost both of my idols.
My wonderful husband, kids, family and friends have made my day awesome, how truly blessed I am to have them all.
God bless my loved ones and keys hope year 32 is blessed and stress free.

Amazing how time flies when your having fun ;)

It's funny, how much our family has been threw in such a short time but yet, I wouldn't change any of it. While I may not be where I thought I would be when I was little, or even 5 years ago, but honestly it's my own fairy tale and I love it.
I'm living my own dream one where I have my own choices and life lessons to learn. I have my own beauties to teach me those lessons and while my blood Kay only run threw two of my five, they are all very special to me and I love them so much.
My husband is my rock, I get too upset with him and life at times, but I would not and could not give him up for anything. It's amazing in life to be able to find someone that you can be completely comfortable with, for once in my life I don't have to be anyone else but myself with Colin and I cannot even describe what that is like. My whole life I have tried to make everyone happy, make decisions for them, do what everyone else wanted, and now, at 32 I finally feel grown up. I am my own person and I've found the mozt wonderful partner to go threw life with and raise our children.
Today I am thankful for life and second chances.
