We're Addicted.....

My family is addicted to the Wii that Santa brought. We don't have a huge library of games yet, but our favorite game is the one that came with it. Wii sports. Golf and boxing are Henry's fav. Tennis and bowling are Ashley's fav. I think my fav. is bowling too. We have bowling tournaments almost nightly, and now Henry likes to challenge Ashley to boxing and "make her BLEED". OK.....!!!! I will say this, you can get a little work out on some of these games. I find myself getting hot and somewhat feel like I'm working out! What a GREAT invention.

Ashley's room Makeover

We Finally did it. We finally painted Ashley's room. It kinda is a shocker walking in there. After living with flat cream colored wall since moving in here 20 mo. ago, we finally have a room with color. It has got me and Henry ready for more. Those of you who know me, know that I like color. Sooooooo.....with that said here is a look at Ashley's room. Please note that we are still not finished. We have shelving that Henry's dad built for us that will go around the top of the room. I also have to recover her cornice board and cover her headboard too. (Still waiting to find just the right material!) I also have hoarse pics that I need to frame to hang in various places. So, I guess you could say this room makeover is still in progress.

Happy Birthday Ashley

Well, today marks a milestone in my life. Yes, my baby girl has made it to the "double digits". She is turning the BIG 10 today. As usual I did get a little emotional today. It is always bitter-sweet. I'll NEVER have my little baby girl running through the house in footed pj's wanting "bunny Milt" Translation: strawberry milk. Gosh how I miss those days.

She has grown from a beautiful curly haired baby girl, to a beautiful straight haired pre-teen. I can remember the day I met her, 3 weeks early and scared to death of becoming a MOMMY. But yet SO excited at the same time. Then at 4:15 pm there she was in all her pink princess glory. Beautiful and healthy. I knew at that very minute they put her in my arms that being a MOMMY to this little girl was what GOD put me on this earth to do. We've had some rocky hard times, but I WOULDN'T CHANGE ONE THING.

Happy Birthday Ashley! I love you with all my HEART!!!

Happy New Year

Well we all survived another year. I'm looking forward to 2009 and all it has in store for me and my family. Hopefully we are blessed this year with good health, happiness, and love. I look forward to mending some old wounds, saving money and yes--loosing weight. I think I have left the "baby weight" on too long. lol. Hope everyone had a safe New Year's Eve. I have to confess that I did fall asleep on the couch last night before midnight. Ashley would say "Mom, are you awake?" My reply was "yeah, I'm awake, quit asking me every 5 min." lol But regardless of if we were awake or asleep, 2009 is here anyway!!!!
