I need sleep...lots and lots of sleep. I am pooped. (my dreams aren't quite "sweet" more like "crazy" on lack of sleep)
They started Gobena coffee to raise money for children as sweet as this to help with food, shelter, and education.
Okay, so this picture STILL cracks me up! Such personalities @ one yr old....and into our thirties. 31 to be exact....:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweetest dearest friend of ages! You are still my best friend....secret or not. :) There is none better. Time, distance, whatever it may be...that we hate talking on the phone?! I am still so thankful for YOU for our childhood memories, our teenage talks, our desires to know God more, our laughs, fears, tears, Gloria Jeans, our more grown up conversations. You have been such a part of my life then and now and I want you to know how special you are to me. You are an incredible gal and God has molded me through you. Hope your day was GREAT and hope our SINGING didn't hurt your ears. :) Harper was looking at us like we lost our minds....:)
I know- can you believe it?...MORE PICTURES!!! She was over today and very sleepy so I couldn't resist. :)I meant to post this video at the end of summer. Came across it recently and thought I'd share. This silly McDonalds toy is STILL in our toy box and comes out frequently and creates dancing sillies and laughs at our house. :)
This poor girl has had more pics taken of her. :) For my family who has not met Norah yet or has not seen her since she was born....this is a glimpse of her cuteness. It's funny....her mommy who is probably exhausted says she loves the 10 month stage or so....to me, I love it all...but this stage is probably my favorite. It goes so fast. We are excited cuz we get to keep her overnight one night after Christmas! I figure I very rarely sleep through the night anyways due to my sweet kiddos who like to get up, so why not? :)
a proud cousin who is so thrilled with her...
not too much sweeter than a sleeping baby....
.3. My Kids. There is none sweeter or cuter. I know everyone thinks their kids are cute, right? Eh? :) 
4. My Sisters. They make such great faithful friends. :)
5. Family & great friends. Your all so awesome.
6. Caffeine. Will I ever sleep through the night?
7. My hands. Thankful that I am able to make a living doing something I love.
8. Dreams. I am a true dreamer.
9. My church. Thankful to be able to hear God's Word and grow in my daily walk.
10. Everything.
I tag Callie, Kristy, Liv, Tiffany and Toni. Your turn if you haven't already. :)
I am an aunt again. My sister had her baby this afternoon....NORAH LYNNE. 7 lbs. 9 oz, 19 inches long. She has darker hair and is absolutely perfect. She couldn't be any cuter. I was so excited to meet this lil' one....and her big brother is so proud already.
21 pounds, talking a little bit, signing, I can undo the child proof locks now, I love to dance, and I'm quite attached to mommy these days. :)
Harper started bawling when I said grandma wasn't home yet. She had the hang of it now, and was so sad grandma wasn't there. It took awhile for her to calm down...but we just sat and waited till she got home.
Corbin was Mr. Incredible...and was darling. It was fun to trick or treat together for a little while.
and there they are....so cute.
Love him, love him, LOVE HIM! This lil' nephew of mine is the sweetest and about to be a big brother in a few weeks! :)I saw this on my friends blog....and I just HAD to post this. HILARIOUS....make sure to watch the whole thing....I promise it will make your day...and you will burn a few calories @ the same time. :) Brady and I watched this together...both of us cracking up, and I had tears. :)
one of our favs to see
love my boys...
Brady and his aunt Lori (he had to hold her hand, not mine. :( )
and here we are @ the MONKEY HOUSE. :)
( thought it was a perfect place to get a pic of our monkeys.)
Now come on. Seriously.
Silly.
a lil bit sassy.
oh and did I mention silly?
definetly I am teething.
and I guess they say I can be "trouble"....
What? Do I LOOK like I did something? My brother gets accused sometimes of doing "things" when in fact ah HA!! It is I.
Last week one day there was a knock on the door and a man holding a box asked if there was a Brady or Harper here. :) They were thrilled with the delivery....thanks to a very awesome aunt! :) We all have enjoyed them a lil' too much! I even ate one last night @ 4a.m. with a glass of milk when I couldn't sleep.
I was on week 2 of school w/ Brady. I'm not a real organized gal, but I'm trying. I was working on the letter "B" with him, teaching him how to write. He recognizes all his letters and numbers...but I was going to "write" them. But he informed me that he already knows all this "stuff"...and apparantly he does. He can write and I didn't even know it. Now what? :)This is something she has discovered on her own this past month. This song was the only one I could think of to put this to. :) Enjoy. :)
The girls and Corbin went out to Chilis for dinner and had a diaper shower for aunt Holz
my sweet nephew Corbin...soon to be a big brother
then on Sunday we went to dads for dinner
the kids had a GREAT time running down the backyard, really really fast...then falling and rolling in the grass due to the fact they couldn't stop. Hence the pictures below of our wild one who loves a good time.
