u gotta have some crayons...

and a little attitude amongst the smiles...
{{jada is in this phase right now...i think it's cute}}

...and a few freaky, but oh so real, faces
{{do u think brooke could look a little more crazied?? that's her new smile. what in the world??}}

...followed by a trip to BABW, where the clothes fit sofie!
{{have i mentioned how much i love brit, b's bmom?? she absolutely rocks the planet!}}

that's a fun fam night with our clan...we don't eat out much...so that's a huge treat! and we NEVER go to the mall, so the kids were in heaven.
and the adults, we just have fun walking around with the kids...and fighting the crowds and finding parking and having strangers try and touch my baby...grrr!
it's fun, in spite of all the booooo stuff!!

merry christmas eve...tuck in early because you know santa is coming to town! {{brooke said to me, what? i thought he was coming to my house...not to town. darn it!}}

join in the fun...wordful wednesday is awesome!

Giggles from me... Love all the pictures. Looks like you guys had a great time despite the baby touching, parking space finding, crowd fighting trip to the mall.

Brooke's new smile is priceless!! She'll love that when she gets older!

Sorry that you hate me for being in the warm. But, I will come back to Indiana and be frozen!! i'm not excited...going from 85 degree weather to 22 degree weather is not my favorite thing to do. burr!!

And, what are you talking about giraffes?! They are so cool...And, I get to feed them in a few days :) But, a sea cucumber...those are really interesting. We got to hold one at the beach the other day. It is just a blob with two ends...We think that God was at the end of making animals and was out of eyes and ears and noses, but had 2 ends left. haha I got pics..don't worry :)

Merry Christmas!!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

one lucky chick

i have been super blessed with a man who not only loves and adores me, but thinks his daughters are all queens deserving of the most love a daddy can give.  in this family, and with other special needs families, there are days that make being fully engaged, well, let's just say difficult. poop, for instance...it's still an issue in our house.  with kids 20, 12, 10, and 7, you would think that we were well past the poop problems, but we are not.  ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is a beast when it comes to poop. and here's a little insight on me...i'm a gagger, meaning the harsh smell of poop or puke makes be puke.  but the amazing hot hubs, he's a beast on the clean up.  poop on the walls...he scrubs it.  poop pasted on the toilet...he cleans it up.  poop on the shower curtain...he washes it.  and he does it without being nasty.  (he doesn't like it...but he does it.) so, when people see our fam and think it's all amazingly perfect and cu...
