too cute for words

I've finally started on the project that I have been dreading for years....archiving all of my personal pictures. So I have been sorting through literally thousands of pictures from the past 6 years, organizing them into specific folders and then will eventually burn them on dvd's. The positive of this overwhelming project is that i have smiled more looking through these pics than I have in a while!!! It's a trip down memory lane of Morgan's life...and it's awesome! I found this pic tonight of Morgan. She was about 13 months and I just want to pick her up out of the picture and squeeze her! And I love her blue eyes...yes she did have the most amazing blue eyes until she was about 18 months and then they turned gray. So love this child so much!

wouldn't change a thing?!!

This past week has been beyond hectic around here. And then over the weekend we had a garage sale, a close friend flew in from TX, celebrated Morgan's 6th birthday, ate too much ice cream and cake,rode a ferris wheel, worked on pictures for a client, spent Sunday morning at church, took my friend back the airport, and then to the craft store to pick up a few things for a get together this next weekend, caught up a little online with good friend, and then onto getting things ready for the week. I've spent too much time whining this past week, that I'll never get everything done and have been stressed out of my mind. I should have been spending more time in prayer. Then on the way back from the airport, I had a few quiet moments and I was thinking that in all reality, I'm so blessed and wouldn't change a thing (ok if I could handle stress a little better that would be good and feel like I had a it more "together") I think most of us feel overwhelmed on a regular basis due to everyday life, but when you really stop to think about it, would you change anything? We are at a busy phase in our lives right now, and every phase is different with it's own set of problems and blessings...I'm just going to try to be more aware of the blessings in each phase and the opportunities that I have been given.

p.s. can't believe my daughter is six...where does the time go??????

Oh how I love this little girl...

My "Nephews"...

I fell in love with these two boys last month when I finally got to meet them in person. They belong to my wonderful college friend (who is like my older brother) Bob and his gorgeous wife Alisha. I wished we lived closer to them so I could really spoil them and get some more snuggle time in. They are too adorable.

mmmm....

It's been one to those weeks around here. Morgan has been really sick and is finally starting to get better...and now as of this afternoon-I've got what she had. aaaaaggghhh! And of course Aaron is working a night shift! so funny, ok not really!!! I really don't have time to be sick. I'm still trying to catch up on things around here from being out of town 2 weeks ago. Oh well, there is nothing that I can do other than head to bed now and try to get some sleep...and yes for all of you who really know me, it is 8:oo pm here, and yes I'm going to bed...that should tell you something! Tomorrow is another day...hopefully with everyone feeling better!

spring has finally sprung here!!!

Things are finally starting to turn green around here...that gorgeous bright spring green when everything is new and blooming from an incredibly harsh weather. I took these pictures yesterday in between thunderstorms while running errands in town. And yes, that is one of last years corn fields waiting to be plowed and planted for this year(it is Nebraska- corn country...just focus on the green trees all around it. I love the flowers in the second picture. We went and looked at trees tonight at Menards and are planning on planting one of these somewhere in our yard. Looking forward to spending some time outside tomorrow with Aaron planning and dreaming about how to landscape our yard and plant our garden. The possibilities are endless...now if only money were endless!!!

wednesday...

today must be my Monday because it's definitely been one of "those" days. You know the ones where you feel like you're spinning your wheels, wanna scream and possibly pull your hair out. Ok so maybe it hasn't been that bad, but still. Feel like I've been going all day and have very little to show for it. Just breathe right...we all have those days! Anyway, on a brighter note, I returned on Monday from an amazing weekend spent in South Carolina catching up with lifelong friends and my sister. Will have to share pics once I get them down loaded to the computer. My place is definitely with my family, but I have to say I feel at home as far as location goes back in the Carolinas! Maybe one day we'll be able to live there again. I can dream right?!!! Ok out to run errands and pic up my little one from school. Just keep Breathing...Just keep Breathing...Just Keep Breathing!
