company

before you read about my fam...please, go and pray for this fam who has been sent home from the hospital with their 2 year old daughter, tuesday, to die with stage 4 cancer. i am aching over this...please, i beg you, pray for their peace and strength...

company {or paige use to call them customers} is such a wonderful thing. we love having people in and around us. we're a very loud house with a lot going on, so there aren't many brave peeps who brave our house, but the "U" fam love us...and we love them! and that always means pizza...yummy!!

{this picture is in honor of my paige who says, "my mom will take pictures of anything. she takes pics of food we eat all the time"


karen is my fab friend...we have really grown in so many ways together over the last 12 years since we met. karen is the best person in the world to rely on for prayer or support or to listen. she can cry a waterfall just thinking about how much someone else is hurting. she's been and will continue to be sucha gift from god. {but she hates her pics, so look at those great hands....her 2 year old painted her nails!}

alex is the big girlie...17...and she's gorgeous and a god-centered teen who i just adore. but she's normal, so i did get the standard "back of the head" shot.

the kids play and play and play. ok, brooke chases nicolaus and tries to tackle him and nicolaus acts like a gentlemen and doesn't tackle her back. poor nicolaus spent a lot of time hiding in the bathroom from brooke.

the little girlie pies were making many, many joyfil noises...loud, joyful noises.

and i was able to nicolas a donut at 9pm! which in turn, caused a domion affect and all the kids had to have one...stinking kids always find out when i'm being sneaky!

jk and molly just love each other...they are like the bestest friends. when they are together, i think i see butterflies and rainbows! they hold hands and dance...

...and the cuteness factor is out of this world!!!
it's never too early to get a good friend.

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity" proverbs 17:17

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...

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......
