Help Me Please

This little girl does test me at least once a day.  She talks with her eyes, bobs her head from side to side, and laughs when I am screaming at her. I tell her all the time that she really belongs to Bryan.  I think Bryan was meant to have a dose of his own medicine and then God realized his age. 

HALLOWEEN

I will do anything to show my love!!  

Both hubbies were out of town and we had a blast!  

We just need some cats now.

Oh and move in together.

Day 2

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADER BUGS!! 

Jade of coarse wanted to go to Smitty's.  We were lucky to have Ryan with us.  

We were worried that Jade's birthday would be a let down because Ryan had to leave and there would be no gifts.  Luckily she got a Toys R Us gift card so we could get her a toy.  But my brainy child wanted a crystal kit.  I quickly called Grandpa Lee to help her follow all the directions.  Way to complicated for me.  

I thank God everyday for sending these children to me.  I wonder why he would send me such a gift and leave me the responsibility to care for them. I worry like any mother I suppose if I will ever do right by them.  I hope pray I don't screw them up. 

Day 1

 Notice the weather.  It's a little too cold to be picking pumpkins.  I took the kids in a wagon in the field to pick theirs because Ryan didn't want to ruin his Nike's (he has a shoe fetish).  Anyways, I pulled the girls and Reece and I have to say I felt like I was going to die.  I am out of shape.  Pulling about 120 pounds of dead weight in the mud isn't fun.  I felt like I was on a beach doing a marathon.  Minus the sun, sand, and ocean. 

 The kids were so excited for their day that mommy and daddy didn't get to sleep in.  

I love this kid more than anything.  She has truly blessed our lives.  Mia Love is always happy and knows how to make us feel loved.  

Little Learners

I don't know where our summer went.  It seems that life is going by too fast.  These are OUR babies.

  I am so proud of Jade that she wasn't too nervous.  I was expecting crying, whining, and gnashing of the teeth.   But she was excited for her teacher.  Mia was a little uneasy on the way to school, but did an awesome job.

When you look at a cupcake you can't help but smile.  

Except Mia.  She hasn't mastered her fake one yet.

This was only a one night stay but I crammed everything in as I could.  This is my oasis.  My utopia.
