Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

So the girls and I went out for a little dinner and dancing...It was a blast... The older I get the harder it is to shake it (well everything shakes is the problem!) HA HA! I am working out like crazy so hopefully this will help the excessive shaking while shaking... Ok anyhow we had so much fun the gals pictured here: Me, Mel, Hailey and Manda...Love you gals!

Moving foward....

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

My mom is my best friend.... people say we look alike and it makes me happy cause shes gorge... We are a lot alike so at times its tense but who doesnt love intense stuff! haha no but really I do not know how she did it with us 6 kids. She some how managed to raise us all and we are all loving and close. That says alot about a mom. Your kids are a reflection of how you raised them. She was hard when she needed to be and now we are responsible because of it. She was loving and understanding when she needed to be and now we are all loving and understanding because of it. I hope and pray one day when my sons are older they will feel about me the way I do about my beloved mother. She has made her mark on this world and I thank God everyday he blessed me with her as my mother. She cannot even begin to fathom the way she is loved by people who know her, especially her children.

Happy Halloween!

A sister is someone who grabs for your hand and touches your heart....

This blog is dedicated to my sisters .... My mom got a package from her sister the other day and the card said something like thanks for being in my world (oh my gosh i am crying right now) Anyhow it made me sit down and think about how much I love my sisters. My sisters by blood, my sisters by marriage and my sisters by heart (I have many of those) I dont have enough time to list all of the reasons I love my sisters but I will say that I would not be where I am today if I did not have the unconditional love and support that I have from my "sisters" Being a single mom is one of the hardest things in the world, when you have sisters like I do it makes life a lot simpler. They help me do all the mommy doos that I often times cant do. Aside from helping me be a good mommy they keep me pushing forward as a person. When things get tough I know they are a call or an email away. No matter the time of day they always have the right thing to say. You all know who you are so know from the bottom of my heart how much I love and appreciate you. If you havent already yet, tell your "sisters" how much you love them....

My baby is turning 8!!!

So my little baby boy is not so little anymore... He is turning 8 tomorrow and I am in shock and disbelief! I remember like yesterday when he was born. I remember him getting shots and me crying and crying like I was the one who got the shots! I remember when he finally stopped rocking back and forth on his hands and knees and finally started to crawl. Then walk, then run (very fast) It all went by so fast. I remember when he was born and I thought wow, your so cute but you sooo look like a bug. Watching him grow into this little man. Turning 8 years old wearing size 12 pants. Its all so amazing to me. My beautiful little man. I have to say that I would not be anywhere if I had not been blessed with this sweet little boy. I have had some rough times in my life and he has been the one thing that has kept me going. (until I had the twins and now they are all my everything!) His sweet spirit, kindness, loving little soul is out of this world and unheard of for such a young boy. He has been my little helper with his brothers. He does everything for his little brothers and they worship the ground he walks on. Being a single parent is hard but my son is my right hand. I dont know where he learned all of this. He is my baby now and always will be. I truly do have the best boy in this world. Happy birthday Mote, Mommy loves you this(((((((((((((((())))))))))))) much!!!
