Goofy Pictures of Kids

My brother stayed with me for a few days and when he was here he discovered this program that makes crazy faces from your picture. Matthew and I were putting the kids to bed upstairs when I heard my brother and his friend down stairs laughing so loud. I was thinking, "What in the world is going on?" I went down stairs and realized that my brother was not working but playing. He discovered this creation. Below are pictures of my kids using this program.

How weird are these pictures?

I am a terrible blogger.........

I really enjoy reading everyone's blogs and follow them almost daily, but never seem to keep mine updated. My goal is to at least post something new once a week, then work my way up to more. I thought I would start small and not get overwhelmed. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to blog and post your stories. You motivate me to do better.

Birthday Party

Logan and Cooper celebrated their birthday's together this year. Logan turned 4 and Cooper turned 1. We had a Spiderman themed party, including a pinata. We had a large turnout and the kids had lots of fun. I can't believe another year has already come and gone. Happy Birthday to My Boys.

Abi's Excuse for Not Cleaning

Abi: "What are you going to do tomorrow when I am at school, Mommy?"
Me: "Well, I thought I would run some errands and clean the house."
Abi: "Oh, mommy. Thank you so much for cleaning up."
Me: "Your welcome. But I think maybe you should clean the playroom."
Abi: "Oh no mommy, I can't."
Me: "Why not Abi?"
Abi: "Because I am too tired and if I do clean the playroom, I will get sick."

I wish I could use that excuse...............

Cooper's Accomplishments

Pro-Life Video

I hate to talk politics but the FOCA makes me sick................

Too bad we can't ask Obama the following question:
"Obama, aren't you glad your mother didn't choose to abort you?"

A broken home, abandoned by his father, and a single mother who will struggle to raise him: How many other women have aborted their babies because of these circumstances? Who would they possibly be today?

And He Finally Sleeps..............

After 10 months of Cooper waking all night and me being extremely sleep deprived, my sweet boy is sleeping 12 hours straight. I forgot how great it felt to sleep all night and wake up feeling normal. I am so proud of him and how well he adjusted. I have been co-sleeping with him and loving every minute but finally decided that we both needed sleep. After many prayers, I decided to let him cry a little while being gentle with it. The first night he woke 4 times and I went in for re-assurance and within 5 minutes of me leaving the room and him crying, he went back to sleep. I was really happy with the first night. The next night he went to sleep at 7:00pm and didn't wake until 5:45am. This was the first time he went longer then 6 hours without nursing. I was so excited and shocked. The third and fourth night he has slept from 7:30pm till 7:30am. I have never had a good sleeper and am so excited about such success. Life seems so much easier and happier when I am rested. Thank you God for answered prayers!!!
