winter wonderland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh the joys of being a mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  was all ready to sit down and relax,

 have alittle quiet time,

 maybe blog alittle,

 read,

 sleep if I wanna,

 had a fresh cup of coffee,!!!!!

 then the girls said mom its snowing can we go outside... sure why not!!!  buddy came with his snowpants and boots.. can you help me mom!!!

 then I remembered bubba had gone in the tub to take a bath....  guess I better get him out... oh my he pooped in the tub and nicely layed it on the side!! ugh eewwwwwwwww.. bubba that is sick...so got him out and dressed and ready to go outside....

 baby dear is sleeping.... lets try this again!!!!

  on the couch had a sip of my coffee.. it's cold...

 oh dear baby Austin is crying...

 and then I hear everyone in the basement, they're in already... oh well... so much for quiet time!!!!!

finding JOY in the moment..    and making every moment count... I'm reminded of that again and again......... If someone would have told me when we got married that we would have 6 children in 11 years I woulda probably laughed at you......  but God had this is his plan for my life and I am so thankful to Him for blessing us with these....there is not a dull moment in our home and I truly believe nothing will humble you like our children do......


anyway back to what I was gonna blog in the first place.....  our first snowfall of the year...  Sunday November 9th,  they were saying only a dusting but we go more then that and the kids were loving it...                                SO BEAUTIFUL................






my sisters, mom and I had planned to go shopping on Monday..  Monday brought some slippery conditions and a 2 hour delay for school.. but a friend of ours from New Jersey who was planning on taking us shopping still ventured out and so mom, my sister and I still went shopping...  was a crazy day but fun anyway....even tho we missed every one that didn't go.. Tuesday brought more snow and it was so beautiful... a true winter wonderland,  school was cancelled for the day... daddy stayed home from work...  a lazy day for sure....

These were the sights I had to enjoy all day!!!!!!





so serene, and peaceful.. almost as if the world was at a stand still.....




 the boys fell in love with the snow... was the first snow that they truly enjoyed playing in it.....




crazy these 2 are!!!!!


while the girls were up at the school sledding, and the boys out rolling in the snow.....
I was sitting in front of the fireplace snuggling and loving on this sweet face......

 
 
 
and now its a winter wonderland outside again....everything is covered in a blanket of snow... and oh so beautiful...  makes me wanna do some chocolate covered candy,  or take a walk outside,  drink some hot chocolate,,, snow just makes me giddy...
 
 
blessing to you and yours....  lets all go make a snow angel.....

"Austin Jeremiah"

a new baby to love... Oh the joy!!!!! The love y0u have for someone you have never met before is Amazing!!!!  I Love this little one to pieces.....that's what Gods LOVE is.. He loves us with an unconditional... Agape Love....that is the kind of Love I want to show Our children, they are a blessing from God...  I want to cherish every day we have with them, we were reminded again the other day we are not here to stay... and our children are givin to us to love on but they are not ours...



meet our new little one to love on....
 
daddy putting the first pamper on.. I guess you could say he's a pro!!!!  Baby Austin was born on November 15....
  he weighed = 7lbs 4oz.. he was = 20in long....
we had a planned C-section.. we got to the hospital at 6am and at 8:09 he was born...
 
 
 My mom brought the kiddos in to meet baby Austin...they all new what we were having and we shared the name with them to.. we all called him baby Austin when we talked about him before he was born.. the girls couldn't get enough of him and Justin was in awe, Lee Jeffrey was his quiet self and just stood in the background watching and taking it all in...it was love at first sight... 
 
 
 Taking our brand new bundle home..... thank you Jesus for this beautiful Gift..
 
 
 
Go love on your littles tonight give them an extra kiss goodnight..and then breath a prayer for my dear friend who's baby went home to be with Jesus.. I spent the morning with her and her heart is bleeding, she is a strong lady and has seen her share of sorrow... but she needs our prayers......  
 
                                               Blessings..
