A guitar…that’s what she wanted (aside from the dog which she also got. 
But she said, “Mom, I don’t want to be a rockstar, I just want to play my guitar.”
That’s my girl…no hype…no drama…just music (yeah right.) For those of you who don’t get to talk to her on a regular basis…MY Girl is the BIGGEST drama queen EVER. But I guess when it comes to music…she just wants to play.
The worlds greatest Grandma got her the guitar and the greatest Grandy got her the video microphone…So she’s set.

I’m posting an update on my life in pics…it’s been awhile and I don’t really have time to fully update you…
FOUR! I can’t believe she’s four—
Meet Jack “Bauer”(the middle name hubby and I gave) “Peanut” (the middle name she gave him)- we adopted our newest family member—
He’s CRAWLING and Pulling Up and getting into everything…do I get a raise?—
Lots going on at church…it’s been a blast—

that I haven’t posted anything worth reading in weeks, okay maybe months. Let’s just say, there are days that working 9-5 seems like the easy way out. Balancing the church stuff, the award winning mother stuff, the health things…all takes its toll. And its surprisingly more difficult when two things are in place:
1. there is no minute by minute schedule (though I’m working on sticking to a daily routine.)
2. things take 2 times as long when two childrend are in tow
I made time the last two days to begin reading, “Today Matters” by John Maxwell and it is such a simple yet challenging book. I am really enjoying the read- quite inspiring. There are so many fabulous quotes in it, but one I’ve always loved is by Walt Emerson:
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
Too often we blame the past or our current circumstances and fail to take the power that God has given us to achieve what we’re meant to achieve.
That’s as deep as you’re getting today. Hopefully you will think about it though. Don’t overlook what you have inside of you. Apparently I have NO hobbies according to certain friends and I’ve been coerced into purchasing roller blades…pray for me tonight. I’ve never done it before. Sad, I know. (Maybe I do need to get a life…)

Ok, sorry…it really has been awhile- but I’ve been on the run for awhile- Since I last filled you in:
I celebrated Christmas in AZ w/ family….
I took a nice trip to Shawnee, OK…(not really so nice actually, except the wedding we went to…)
Cut The Girl’s hair
The Boy got 2 teeth (for Christmas, it was all he wanted, really.)
Remodeled several rooms at a church.
Fell in love w/ Memory Foam and 460 Thread Ct. Egyptian Cotton
Ate…Ate…Ate…now it’s time to stop.
Hmmm…what else?
Had countless memories and moments with friends and family. Lived life fully to the extent that there really hasn’t been much down time. (stay at home mom = busy mom.)
Here are a couple pics of the recent days:
