Christmas Card 2010

This is our Christmas card for 2010.

What a wonderful and busy year we have had. So many wonderful memories and pictures it was so hard to pick just a few for the card. I could have made photo books for our cards! We took two wonderful vacation this year. One to Destin, Florida and one to San Antonio, Texas. Destin is one of our favorite places to go, we had a blast. This was Maggie and Marley's first beach trip, and they loved it! We look forward to this trip every summer. So many good times there and memories.

We also went to San Antonio this summer to visit my Great Aunt, Sister Geraldine. She is a nun and lives at Our Lady of the Lake Convent. We went with my mom, my Aunt Pat, Uncle Sonny and Nan. It was a wonderful trip and we all had a wonderful time visiting and doing a little sight seeing. On the way home we stopped in Katy, the new home of my sister and brother-in-law. That was not a happy point of our year, but we are happy for them in their new adventures of their life. Just wish they were closer.

Also, we won the SUPERBOWL :)

GO SAINTS!!!

Had to throw that in since that is one of our pictures that made the card :)

Too many memories and good times to list, but they are all documented in pictures and in our hearts. We are all so blessed to have each other and I am so thankful that we are healthy. I hope all the years to come are filled with as much joy as 2010 has been.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The Start of the Elf On The Shelf Tradition

Nick, the Elf stopped by today,

To help Santa know if he should come our way.

You better be good, you better not fight,

So a good report he can give Santa tonight!

He'll return each day in a new spot,

To remind us to be good, in case we forgot!

Master Bedroom

This week on Show Us Your Life, over at Kelly's Korner, they are touring Master Bedrooms.

I love our bedroom. It is not big at all, but it has everything we want, need and love. My nightstand belonged to my husband's great-grandmother, and a few years ago my mother-in-law gave it to me for Mother's Day! I love it and it means so much to me. This room is the perfect room for us to end all of our busy days!

Living Room

A blog I follow, Kelly's Korner, is doing a Show Us Where You Live, and this week is Living Rooms. I thought it would be fun to post mine since we just finished it. I LOVE the way it turned out, better than I thought, and is so nice and relaxing to us all. We have spent so much more time in here, watching tv, playing the wii and just hanging out as a family! And yes, I did get the 2 WHITE sofa's that I wanted! And I LOVE them! What???...you think I am crazy?!, just because I have 4 kids, a husband that loves to play in the mud and a dog?! It's all good : )

Thanks to my wonderful hubby for helping with all of the fun painting projects! You are the best! A little time, elbow grease and paint made such a difference and they came out wonderful. Also, thank you for making me my beautiful mirror, it came out great. It is just what I wanted and a whole lot cheaper than a store bought one of that size, plus, it was made by my hubby, even better :)

Double Digits....Clayton turns 10

Is it true?? Are you sure?? Really....my baby boy is 10 years old?!?!? WOW....time has flown by so fast. It seems just like yesterday we had our first baby, a little boy, so small and new and now in the blink of an eye it seems, you went and turned 10 on me! We made a deal in case you don't remember, you are to grow up slowly :)

Happy Birthday

My New Goal

Well, my new goal is to start making more entries!!! I started this blog to have it as a keepsake and a journal for my children one day. But, with most things these days, time is not something I have alot of! I have so many things I want to put on here, and days turn to weeks and weeks to months, I need to set a time for this just like everything else! So, I am going to try and get better at this and now I have a few way past due entries to make :)
