30 Day Challenge

What Am I thankful for ....

1 st ... I am thankful for my life... :)!!!!! So many people are unhealthy at at this point in my life I have been lucky to be very healthy with everything that has happened.  Might sound kind of an ego  thing but i see to many people being ill.. makes me sad :(

2nd .... I am so thankful for my children and child to be. Sometimes this mother gets a little frustrated with things they do or say, but it doesn't mean I'm not thankful for them. I love them very much.

Summer LaRae is Summer LaRae.. My little Princess. She's my sweet cuddle bug who will tell me how much she loves me and what I do for her that she loves. She is a hard child to put to words, only because she's such an easy daughter to love. :)

LoreLei Lane.. She's my Clown. My Frankie Jane.. My baby girl who makes me laugh every single day. No matter what she's always making me laugh. If she's happy nor sad she'll still make you laugh.  She's a character I can tell you that.

3rd.... Death do Us Apart... I am very thankful for my husband. I am thankful for him because of many reasons, not just one, because he sure has changed my life.

Without him I'd be back to square one.. Lost and Confused.. He is Simply wonderful. As Korny as that sounds.

4th... I would have to say I'm very thankful for meeting some of the most amazing in EVER. Some  people don't know this but i have a very supportive mother in law. Who has been there for us and helped us through some rough times. Also I'm thankful for what my mother has been there or not been there for through out the years.. She's made me a very strong person.

5th.. I am thankful homemade Chix Noodle Soup on days that I'm not feeling very well. Not only does the taste of it make me feel better the smell of it reminds me of back home. Reminds me of the simple things that can make a person happy.

6th. I am thankful that I can be a stay at home mother for now. It means the world to me to be able to stay at home. Days I go crazy I remember what it is like to actually get dressed and go to work and not see or talk to my loved ones until the day is over. :(!

7th. I am thankful for the right to be able to vote in our country for what I believe in.. Even if the person next to me does NOT vote for the same person. I'm also thankful I don't have to listen to election stuff for another few years :D :D

8th... I am thankful for my brother Brett, who turned 16 today :)! He has actually made me the strong person I am today. Without him I would have NOT grown up fast. And I would have NOT been as strong as I am today. Him and I have went through a lot in our life time together and I love him dearly. He's one of the people I think about daily and one reason  I can not wait to get back to wisconsin for. I need my brother back in my everyday life. I LOVE YOU BRETT LLOYD EDGE.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY......

9th... I am thankful for the fact I had my grandparents growing up. If it weren't for them I do not know where I would be today. I am thankful because they showed me right from wrong.

10th..... This one might be a little harsh, but I am very thankful about how mean my father talked to me the last time I talked to him he made me want to be a better person and become a better mother.

11th... For all the vets out there like my uncle John "fuzzy" elliott... John was one of the most caring men in the world. He has showen me so much in life. He is MY HERO forever. Thank you for being part of my life.. You might be gone, but you are never forgotten. You will always have a place in my heart.

12th... I am thankful for the shelter I have over my head. Even though I might HATE HATE this apartment I am so very thankful for it. Without it I would not be able to take care of my children the way I do.

13th... My daily thanks goes to my husbands father...Whenever Wil is down or confused about something he is just a phone call away and helps Wil understand what he's confused or lost about. It really means a lot to me to know Someone is there willing to help out as much as he can and still be across the country.

14th.. I'm thankful for the babysitting jobs I have, without them I don't think I would be able to keep up with the extra activities this families wants to do :)!

15th.... I'm thankful for the nice people I've met here in Florida and the help they have given this family. One of the ladies I babysit for just gave us a mobile and bumper set.. How sweet .. :D 

16th... I'm thankful for my PAPA.. yes I said MY PAPA! He's the most AMAZING guy who is alive to this day making sure day to day we have everything we need. I love you grandpa.. Thank you for all your love and support.

17th...I'm thankful for my grandma .. Without her who knows how I would have managed over the years.. thank you!

18th.... I'm thankful for my friends here in florida.. they are amazing. I'll be sad that I leave .

Randomness From LoreLei Lane

As I'm sitting on the couch I hear something coming from LoreLei was some babbling. I really wanted to know what the heck she was talking about or two.

She was standing next to my vaccum cleaner saying OH HUSBAND of mine, 

You dear are my best friend and I love you.

While she's hugging the darn thing tries to Kiss it and says Baby I love you.

I'm going to bed goodnight .. What a nerd ... 

Getting Ready For Trunk Or Treating..

Trunk or Treating in Navarre 

To be honest this is the first time I have ever heard of 

TRUNK OR TREATING

have you ever heard of it?

NOT ME, 

Until My friend told me about it!

After she told me about it we had to try it. 

We had a good ole' time Trunk or Treating

We also got a hay ride. 

The YMCA did a great job putting it on

I was very impressed.

Oh and LoreLei got a "tattoo" she was so excited.

She tells me she's getting one for her birthday that doesn't come off

What the hay she's going to be three.

I don't think so.

What we have all been waiting for .....

I've gotten so many emails and comments on my facebook to post photos of LoreLei Lane's Halloween Outfit. So here is a small sneak peak of what it will look like ... OFF her.. Just wait until you see the pieces put on her all together she's going to be the cutest little pirate EVER. :)!

I'm currently still working on the tutu so it looks kind of funny just laying on the ground like that. 

The only thing I will have left to do is figure out how I want to do her hair and if i want to use her i patch or not. :D

This is looking a little funny just laying there but super cut when on :) :)!

Lorelei thought it was a good idea to put her hand in the paint UGH!!!

Happy Saturday!!!!!

Happy Saturday Ya'll

Are Ya'll Ready For Halloween Yet?

Not This Momma.

Today I have to watch Abby and Noah, so you know what that means?!

Not getting anywhere with LoreLei's Halloween Costume. 

It's half done, but not completely done yet.

Can't wait to show everyone what our hard work turned into :)!

If I only had a little more time I found some amazing Projects I would have loved to make, but

this year it just isn't looking like that is going to happen. 

Next year we just have to make ROCK MONSTERS. The kids will LOVE those. 

And a lot more, but I'll keep those to myself until next halloween :)! 

Next Item on my list....

The next thing on my list I'm looking into is family photos. It's so hard for me to figure out how much to pay for them, who to go to, indoor or outdoor photos, and how many to buy.. Not only those questions, but what to wear how to look and all that wonderful stuff .. If you have any ideas please feel free to let me know :)! 

It's late October, but yet it's beautiful here still. I was thinking about taking LoreLei to one of the Pumpkin Patches and taking pictures myself of just her in her halloween outfit, but it is just getting a little too late for that I'm thinking unless I take all the kids on Sunday. We will see how that goes. 

I'm also working on some photographs I took of a friend of mine I'm hoping I'll be able too finish those soon as well.  We took some in her back yard. They kind of turned out amazing for only taking ten minutes. :)

Give me some advice on photos ladies :)!
