Well it's almost 2009. A new year, a new lease on life. My family and I had a great christmas holiday--I hope all you did too. My kids got a lot of great gifts from friends and family. Here are some pics to prove it.

Lazy Friday!!

It feels like a lazy friday. I just want to sit curled up on the couch on my laptop; putting music on mp3 players, play on smilebox, and picture it. I really need to do laundry, dishes and keep kids from killing each other, but I don't wanna.

Since Lukas has been going to daycare he always is bringing home art work. I have a staples paper box full of paintings, drawings and other fun things he has made. Yesterday when I dropped him off, his teacher handed me a big box:



In it was a few things he made at school (with teacher's help of course). But none the less very cute:


***a snowflake ornament & a picture frame with colored noodles***


***A MELTED SNOWMAN ornament***

This is my favorite gift of all that was in the box too:



It was so nice of the teachers to do this. I was so surprised. I am going to get a thank you card for them.

Christmas Time!!!

Well its Christmas time in the city!!! No snow yet, just cold cold weather.
I have been crafting with my friend Angi. We have been making some felt ornaments. Here are some of the ones I have made.









and the stockings were hung:




I don't have a chimney tho.

Is it almost the end of November already!!

Geesh, this year has gone fast. And is almost over already. There is just about 5 and a half weeks till christmas!! yahoo!! not!!

Well, Lukas has been, sicky boy, for the last week and a half now. I hope he gets better soon.

A lot has been going on, in my life, in the past 6 months. My relationship with Erick came to an end, my house is getting foreclosed on, and I moved in to a two bedroom apartment. (that my mom owns) Yes all 5 of us in a 2 bedroom apartment. It is cramped but we are going to manage. I need to get my life situated soon. I am going to Edison (Piqua) to get a degree in Human Services. I want to work with foster kids and help people. I need to be able to help myself and my family first though. So I am trying. My kids are doing great through all this mess. They think it's a great adventure and have had no problems adjusting to the change of scenery.

Lillian and Jacob got all A's and B's on their report cards. I was so happy they are doing so great in school. Lillian has always love school and I was worried about Jacob. He doesn't seem to want to listen and pay attention. He is working on it though.

Lukas is getting so big and talking so much. He is so freakin' cute. Payton is such a pretty girl, but her attitude lately has been so ugly. Hopefully its just temporary.

Here are some pics, just cause I like to take lots of them to share:

Wow my last post was on Septemeber 7. That is just crazy. I wanted to blog regulary when I started this blog and I have been slacking big time. Well here's some cute pics anyways. Everyone is doing good.

Pics of the kiddos!! 9/6/08

just a little info!!

Well since Erick has moved out I have been so bored. I started school at Edison in Piqua. I like it. It keeps me busy most of the day. It was so freakin hot last week though gosh you just couldn't breath. So hopefully the weather will get a little cooler and we can get out of this house and go for walks or to the park.

Lillian hates soccer. She is not into it anymore. This is her third year and she is not wanting to go to games anymore. So I think I am going to let her quit if she wants. I don't know what else to do.

Lukas is ok with being dropped off at daycare. It only took three weeks but hey. Can't complain.
