These are a few of my favorite things. Day 12, Something I am OCD about

Sorry, had to skip some because I don't have any pictures.

I am OCD about things in groups of 4. For example: I have to touch door knobs 4 times before I open or close them. Right now I was thinking about something else and I had to tap the keyboard 4 times. I scratched my head 4 times. I eat a small cup cake in 4 bites. I eat a hamburger or sandwich in a circle, and leave the middle for my last bite. The number on the volume on the TV or radio HAS to be an even number. I HATE HATE HATE eating inside restaurants. Any type of restaurant. They freak me out and I don't want to see the weirdo making my food. I just know they went to the bathroom and didn't wash their hands, or just picked their nose. Out of sight, out of mind ya know?

These are a few of my favorite things. Day 7, picture that makes me happy

Considering that I have kids and a husband, I can't just choose one!
Keep in mind that I have one more baby but I don't have pictures of him on this computer yet!

These are a few of my favorite things. Day 6, 20 of my favorite things.

In no particular order,

1. 
   Snuggles in the morning from my kids and husband
2. The smile on my baby's face first thing in the morning, and the smile on the twin's face when I show up to their field trips, or even just picking them up after school
3. My husband. He's my favorite husband ever!
4. Tristan. He's my favorite nephew ever!
5. The smell of laundry detergent.
6. Candles.
7. Spaghetti. Tastes extra delicious with sour cream in the sauce.
8. Adoption. With out it, My son and I wouldn't be where we are today
9. Gold fish crackers. They have saved my life over and over!
10. Card games. I love them lots.
11. Photographs.
12. The smell of the earth after it's rained. haha sounds gay!!
13. Facebook. I like knowing what everyone is doing, and sometimes they make me giggle because of how stupid they are.
14. Reality TV. I love that crap
15. Double stuffed Oreo's. 'nuff said
16. Family traditions.
17. The color pink.
18. Money. I love money.
19. Hot baths and showers.
20. My wedding ring. Should be up there in the top 5.

These are a few of my favorite things. Day 5, favorite quote

"It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't." - Barbara Kingsolver
I saw this today in an Email and thought it was funny.Talking about your children.


Thats my favorite today.

These are a few of my favorite things. Day 4, favorite book.

I don't have one specific favorite book but I have a favorite genre. I really enjoy real life stories. I really enjoy reading about other people's lives. I like to hear what they have been through and how they have over come it to be a better person and help others out. Or not. Some of them turn to drugs, alcohol and promiscuity.

I dunno, I guess it reminds  me that I am very blessed for never turning to those kinds of things, considering what I have been through. I should be a smoking, alcohol, drug addicted person. I come from a huge family of people who are alcoholics. I do believe that alcoholism is hereditary. And people who generally have been through what I have, turn to drugs to "forget" all of the pain.

These are a few of my favorite things. Day 3, Favorite T.V. show

Well, I have a lot of favorite shows, but I guess my most favorite is... Well, there's two. I just cant choose. Law and Order SUV, and CSI Crime Scene Investigation.

I really enjoy watching those shows and I hope they stay on TV for a long time!

These are a few of my favorite things. Day 2, favorite movie

My favorite grown up movie is Step Mom with Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts. I cry every time I see it and It's exactly how I would be towards my kids' step mom. I would hate her, and not want to get along with her. But in the end I would realize that it's not what is healthy for my kids, and I would learn to love her and hope that my kids can love her too when I'm gone.

My favorite kid movie is Cinderella I LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie. My grandma told me that I wanted to be her when I was younger, and I loved hearing that from her since I don't remember anything good before the age of 8.

These are a few of my favorite things.

I recently saw this on a blog and wanted to try it out.

1. My favorite song is Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden. I have loved that song since I was 12yrs old. It was the song that I walked down the aisle to at my wedding, 

"I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need. I'll  love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply do" I hope my husband knows how in love I am with him, and can't wait to spend eternity with him.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have so much to be thankful for!

1. That I am alive today. I am very grateful for that "fling" the bio's had and 9mo later, Ta Da :-)
2. My beautiful children. I love all of my kids with my whole heart. I am so grateful that My Heavenly Father has blessed me with being able to be their mother. I miss them right now, they are over at Tree's house having Thanksgiving with the family, while I am at home with my sick, sick baby. The hubs is sleeping because he worked 13 and a half hours last night! and has to go back tonight. Not sure where my oldest is, he's with his mom and dad probably at their families house. I haven't called them yet, because I'm a loser.
3. The hubs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that man. He is so perfect for me, and I thank my Heavenly Father for sending him to me. There is nobody out there more perfect for me, I'm so grateful for how hard he works for this family.
4. The Duncan/Dascomb clan. I have known that family for about 12 years now. They are the only family who has stuck with me this long! And I thank them for that. I love them all and am so grateful that I found them when I was 14.
5. Christmas music, It's so hard to be pist when it's playing on the radio or TV.
6. My husband's family. They are so amazing and are so good to me! They are such a good example to me and my kids of how a family should work., and even though some of us have our differences, we put it on the back burner when it's family time. 
7. Stumbling into couponing when I did. I feel very blessed this time of year, I have done an AMAZING job with coupons, and am able to afford a really good Christmas for the kids and my husband. I am hoping to get better in the Grocery department!
8. Photographs. I was going through my scrap booking stuff the other day and just remembering when my kids were born, activities we have done with them, my son's adoption, I looked so young in those pictures! I was such a young, sad girl. I can't believe it's been over 8 years already. I can't believe that the twins are going to be six in less than 4 weeks, and my baby will be 1 in 6 weeks! Time flies, and I miss those days.
9. I am glad that my Heavenly Father sent me the twins first. My baby was sick yesterday so I dropped the twins off at Tree's house and can't believe how high maintainance she is! I realized yesterday, that really, that's the first time I have been alone with her at the house, and realized just how much I really do rely on the twins! I wasn't ready to be a mom when I had them, and thank goodness they are best friends and love each other so much! They get along 99% of the time, and even when they don't, it's only for a second. 
10. I am so grateful that my brother and sister have chosen to have a relationship with me. Even though their mom disproves, and whatever I put them through when we were young. I am very sorry for the things we went through as children, and am very lucky to have them in my life. And my kids are very lucky as well. I love that baby T and very thankful that my sister allows me to be part of his life as well. 
11. A warm roof over my head, food in my tummy, clothes, shoes. etc

Any many, many more things! 

Oh, Christmas

I am LOVING Christmas this year. I have been blessed in finding couponing.  I have bought about 20 presents and stocking stuffers between the three kids so far and have not even spent $40!! I know, right? Oh, and two for my nephew that were absolutely free! I also have a ton of stuff for my brother and sister that I didn't even spend $5 on!

I even bought myself some Christmas Decor that I LOVE! And have paid only $10 for $50 worth. It's a lot of work, but to me, it's so worth it! I am excited to have the extra money to buy my husband something really nice this year, instead of stupid things like shoes, or chap stick! And to pay bills! It's nice to get a little ahead.

The Elf On The Shelf came to visit us tonight! His name is Charlie. And the kids LOVE him! They seem kind of creeped out that he watches them, and have asked if he can see them in the bathroom. I assured him that he's not looking at them in the bathroom or peeping at them changing. R asked him to ask Santa if he could please bring a toy robot to a little boy who doesn't have a mommy or daddy. He is THEE sweetest little boy! I love how kind he is. 

I'm excited to start this tradition with the kids. I don't remember my mom ever doing anything with us. Just the smallest things make my kids so happy, it's so easy to please them. I can't understand why she didn't do these things for us. I want to keep them as innocent as I can. I want my kids to be able to be kids, and not grow up too fast. I want one million times better for my kids, and I feel like we're doing okay so far. This year is baby A's first Christmas and am excited to see her open her presents and teach her how all of this works!

Dear Husband

I am so in love with you. Even more so than the first time I realized I was in love with you. You are so loving and kind to me. You are such an amazing father. The kids are so in love with you, and I see that every time you come home. Every time you play with them.

You work so hard for this family. I love the way you love me. I love the way you love our kids. You are the only man in my life who has ever told me I'm beautiful that I ACTUALLY believe. You are the first man that I have ever been in love with. And I want you to be the last. I want to be with you forever husband!

I know I forget to tell you how much I appreciate you, but know that on a daily basis, I realize how lucky I am to have you, and how much I appreciate you. I will make a mental note to tell you every chance I get. I appreciate you for being you. I am loud, inappropriate at times, obnoxious, and blunt. You are so kind, sweet, soft spoken, and remind me nicely that I had better shut up before I hurt someone's feelings because I have no filter. :-)

Thank you for my baby. I couldn't have done it without cha ;-) She is so great! She is so fun, and so much like you. She is happy ALL the time, and smiles at me every single time she see's me. I have had alot of fun with her, and am so glad that you are so smart, and talked me into having her.

Thank you for raising the twins with me. There are a select few out there that will take on someone elses kids, and take care of them as if they were their own. You are the true definition of a man. You are an amazing father, and the twins are so very lucky to have you as their dad.

I love you husband, and can't wait to be yours for time and all eternity!

I can't wait to meet you here one day!

The foster care system in America needs to change

I was watching Dr.Phil today and it was about how the kids in foster care age out without any help. No money, health care, place to live, work ethic, etc.

When I left the foster care system at 18, that's exactly what was going to happen to me. I worked at McDonalds for a few months when I was 16, I volunteered at the Boy And Girls Club a few summers, but I hardly had a work ethic. Didn't have a job, no money, still in HS. No plans for my future... And yet, they all expected me to just know what I was doing. They gave me no resources. No resume, no money, no nothing.

I went to live with J and S for about 4mo until I moved to AZ for about a yr to live with my grandma. I was released from the state on July 4th, 2003 "My independence day" haha. *rolls eyes*

I was in a group home prior to going to live with J and S for abut 8mo. This is my perception, whether it's wrong or right, it's mine. I was the favorite girl in the home. I don't remember ever getting in trouble, I never got taken down, physically or otherwise. I got special privileges all the time. I think I even got to go out more than some of the girls. I also played therapist to some of the girls. I felt very badly for some of the girls. They were so lost, and felt so hopeless. I tried to help them realize that every action has a consequence, whether it's good or bad, there is ALWAYS a consequence.   It felt really good to know that some of those lost girls looked up to me, and would sometimes follow in my footsteps.

I was put in foster care for the first time when I was 11, was adopted at 14, and then back in foster care when I was 16. I would NEVER allow my kids to be in foster care. It breaks my heart that my niece and nephews are in foster care because my uncle cant get his act together enough to get them back. I wish there was something I could do. If my grandma were here, I KNOW she would not allow this.

I hear and read stories of foster kids being abused and it makes me sick, They are already broken kids, and then you put them in houses sometimes worse than where they originally were. They are paychecks to those foster moms and dads. They don't care about those kids. They just want their money.

Now, I'm sure there are good foster care homes out there. The two that I was in, were not. I wasn't physically abused but I was mentally and emotionally abused..

Home is not a home....

Unless you start hanging up pictures. The hubs put some pictures on the wall for me today. I figure, if we decorate, we will be more inclined to stay here, and not move for a very long time!

I am not good at decorating. I love black, and brown decor. I think yellow and red are PERFECT colors for a kitchen... And that's about it. I love black and white pictures.

I was never into decorating for the holidays either. My sister in law decorates for every holiday, and now I want to too! I have some Halloween, Christmas and Valentines day decor. But not much, this year I hope to have enough money to be able to buy things, and then right after the holiday when things are on sale, Im buying for next year.

Older, but still my baby. J

My dearest J,

You have always been my favorite. And I love you so much. I hope when you grow up, that you remember that I did what was best for you. I hope you remember that I loved you so much, and wanted to be the very best for you. I, was not it. I just wasn't going to cut it. I was a girl, a young, lost girl. I had a very hard childhood, and never wanted to make my kids go through the things I went through. Heavenly Father chose you to be the son of me- your birth mom, and Norm and Jennifer's son- your parents. He chose me to give you, a gift, to them. He knew what he was doing before I even had a clue.

I hope you always remember how much we love you and want the very best for you. That's all I ever wanted. I only wanted the best for you. And that's exactly what I got. Your parents are so perfect for you. I wouldn't have been able to provide for you like they can. I was so young, and so stupid, I was still in High School, and going back into foster care 3weeks after I had you. That wouldn't have been a good place for you.

I am so grateful for you J, and I hope you will always remember that I love you to the moon and back twice!

Love,
Your birth mommy

Joining the world of coupons!

Oh.My.GOSH! I am so excited! I see women getting things for cents on the dollar, and most of their grocery bill is free! I am having a coupon class tomorrow

Well, we had the coupon class yesterday, I found this really great website for finding where the greatest sales are! I'm so excited to get started!

The best friend you'll never have

I like to think of myself as a really good friend. I'm a good listener, I have empathy, I try to be there for you, I try to plan activities with you, and you never reciprocate. I see you making plans with your friends, and I see how they always let you down. I NEVER let you down, and yet, you never make an effort to be my friend.

I hate it when I tell myself that I'm not going to give in to your games, and then crisis hits, and I can't help it. I can't help but be there for you. It's just second nature to me, to want to fix everything. No matter what happens, you know that I will always be there for you. I'm a sucker, and you know that.

I hate that you know that. I hate that you know that I will always be there for you. I hate that you continue to take advantage me. I hate that you don't see how much you are hurting me.

I know you know who you are. And all I ask is you stop taking advantage of me. Or stop pretending to be my friend, be honest with yourself, and me...

You will always be my baby, A.E.B

My dearest baby A,

You have always been my favorite! I love you so much. I couldn't have asked for a more cute, chill, happy baby. I love walking into your room every morning and see that sweet smiley face. Even if you have been crying, you instantly smile when you see me. I love you to the moon and back twice!

I am so glad your dad talked me into getting pregnant with you. I need to remember to thank him for that. You are so smart! Holding your head up since birth, crawling by 5mo, walking by holding my fingers at 6mo! Girl, you are crazy!! You just want to go, go, go... And now at 8mo, you have been crawling up the stairs for about 2 weeks now. You scare me to death when I find you up those stairs. I'll be there to catch you when you fall, because you get so excited for yourself, and you lean backwards with your hand in the air. "look mommy, no hands!"

I love how you love your brother and sister. You love them so much, so much so, that is why you crawl upstairs. You don't want to hang out with me anymore. You just want to be upstairs where the party's is.

My baby A, I love you so much, even when you hate me. I hope you will always remember that

Love,
your mommy

This microwave sure is dirty

Says R

So clean it, I say

Actually, it's not that dirty. He then walks away and goes outside!

Man, oh man, that boy is funny

Older, but still my baby R.A.(B)

My dearest R,

You have always been my favorite. I can't get enough of those big, chocolate brown eyes. And those long eyelashes *sigh* You are so beautiful, and so kind. My sensitive, loving, handsome boy. I love you to the moon and back twice!

I am so grateful for you and everything you do for me and your family. I appreciate your empathy for others. I think you have thee best manners for a 5 yr old! You were respectful at a very young age!

I hope you always remember that your dad and I will always love you no matter what. Please remember that we tried our hardest to raise you into a strong, responsible, hard working man. Please know that we did the very best with what we had.

You are the most handsome, funniest, sweet, kind boy any mommy could ask for. I love you alot, and I hope you will always remember that! You have truly blessed my life in more ways than one.

You are thee funniest little guy I have ever met. You seriously make me laugh at least once a day. You are the smartest boy I know. You learn very quickly, I mean, you learned my phone number after only having to be told once!

R, I love you so much and please remember that. Even when you hate me. Please always remember you are my favorite and I love you always and forever!

Love,
your mommy

Older, but still my baby, A.R.(B)

My dearest A,
You have always been my favorite. You are hilarious, gorgeous, and so kind. You give the best hugs and kisses, and I love you to the moon and back, twice!

You are so creative. I am so glad that you love to learn and do your homework. I love looking over your work to see what you are learning everyday. You are so artistic, and have great Ideas. I love that you choose water or milk over juice. I love that you would rather eat apples from McD's than fries. I love that you love your veggies, especially corn and broccoli with cheese. I love how you love your baby sister. I appreciate you and how you are more than happy to help me with her.

I hope that you grow up knowing how much your dad and I love you. I hope you know we are trying our best to raise you to be an honest, hardworking, kind, loving woman. With good morals, love in your heart, strong will, and compassion for others.

I hope you grow up knowing that your little brother and sister love you. They look up to you, and look for your guidance. I know that is a lot of responsibility right now, but we love you for it. You are so responsible at only 5yrs already! You know right from wrong, you have empathy for others, and you love animals. You have a ton of stuffed animals, and you take care of them like they are real. Someday, you will be a very good pet owner. Just not anytime soon, because I have animals :-)

I appreciate you and everything you do for me. You help me so much with baby A. I know she really loves you and sometimes would rather be with you than me.

A, I love you so much! And I hope you always remember that. Especially when you hate me. We have some rough years ahead of us, but please, always remember that your are my favorite, and I love you a lot!

Love,
Mommy

When I look back on my childhood

I can't remember one happy time with my mom. I lived with her and my brothers and sisters from when I was 6 until about 13. I say "about" because she was always in and out of prison, and we were either with family members or in foster care. She told me that she didn't even know she was pregnant until she was 8mo... Is she crazy? I know I'm pregnant the second it happens. She says that she thought I was an alien... And she was serious. I guess my grandma was old fashion. She didn't talk to her kids about sex, and what happens when its unprotected. I heard that she didn't want me because I was a girl. Do I have issues about that? Honestly, I don't. I could care less. She is in my life now, and I guess that's all that matters.

I asked my mom once if she can think of one good memory for me and all she came up with was, we never had a car so we never went anywhere and she drank all the time... Well no shit sherlock... I already new that... She pretty much summed up all my memories.

All of my memories are bad. I was always being abused in one way or another, I was playing "mommy" to my younger brothers and sisters. So much so, at one point they called me mom. I have 3 pictures total, of my e.n.t.i.r.e childhood! My mom doesn't have anything of mine anymore... Not a mothers day give, birthday gift, nothing. I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing the things the kids bring home from school. It always makes me wonder what my crafts would have looked like. I wonder if I was as funny and creative as they are.

Un-adopting one's self...

Can be preeety tricky...

I'm almost pretty sure that I can't, but I don't want J and S on my birth cert. anymore. I wanna put the bio's on there. Sure, J and S were really good to me. S watched the kids so I can go to work. She bought EVERYTHING except diapers for them for atleast their first year. She was there for me through boys, work, friends, everything. She WAS my best friend. I thought I could tell her anything in confidence, and not have to worry about her telling everyone my business. Boy, was I wrong!

When J called me to tell me that I need to find a place to stay that night, and come the next day to get all my s*** (2 weeks before my wedding mind you) I was livid... I called the police on their son because he was threatening to come to my wedding, he was looking into my backround and harrasing my children. I even told S 3x before I even called the cops on him. She didn't belive me. They were pist bc they thought I was starting trouble and trying to ruin him... Honest to god, I was NOT trying to cause problems for him... I only called to see what my options were. How to keep him and his family from comming to my wedding, and to stop harrassing me and my family. Neither J or S had the decency to help us get the hell out, they didn't help watch the kids while we packed and moved, and they didn't say good bye to my kids.

I used to feel bad about the kid situation. I had always promised S that I would never take my kids away from her. Her kids pull that crap, and I would NEVER hurt my kids like that. And honestly, they don't and have never asked for them. They asked for her dog once or twice in the begining. But honestly, they don't ask for her.

***UPDATE***

I just found out that the bio's have to adopt me in order to get J and S off the birth cert. Guess we should start saving right now!

Long time, no see!

Wellllll..... Its been awhile! There has been alot of changes in the Babcock household! We just finished moving to P.G yesterday. My baby is crawling and pulling herself up on things. And the twins are starting Kindergarden tomorrow!

The hubs quit his job, and is now working at this one place you've heard of! Thank god, because we were fighting about that job allll the time, and I was so over it. So was he, she was taking advantage of him and treating him like crap. We're pretty sure she was taking his tips!

I'm still doing the stay at home mom thing, trying to do daycare, and going to start getting serious about loosing weight!

R and A, are loosing teeth. R lost his two front teeth and is so self concious! I think he looks adorable! But he doesnt want people to make fun of him. My baby is getting two teeth and is as sweet as a peach! I truly have been blessed with great kids. The twins never were bad teethers either. She started crawling at 5 and a half months and is now trying to stand and walk. She pulls herself up on her crib and toys. She is adorable. She smiles the BIGGEST smile I have ever seen and she is so smart and fun! I wish I were able to go back and enjoy the twins like this. I enjoy everything about her!

The hubs is still really great to us! He works so hard for this family and we appreciate all the sacrifices he makes for us everyday... I'm pretty sure he'd rather be skating!

I'm guna try kinda hard to get good at this blogging stuff! :)

"What's that horrible smell?"

"It's your dinner!"

Bwhahaha, kids say the darndest things

From Gods Arms, To My Arms, To Yours

"From God's Arms, To My Arms, To Yours"


So many wrong decisions in my past, I'm not quite sure
If I can ever hope to trust my judgment anymore.
But lately I've been thinking,
Cause it's all I've had to do.
And in my heart I feel that I
Should give this child to you.
And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before, By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.


If you choose to tell him,
If he wants to know,
How the one who gave him life
Could bear to let him go.
Just tell him there were sleepless nights,
I prayed and paced the floors,
And knew the only peace I'd find,
Was if this child was yours.
And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before,
By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.
This may not be the answer,
For another girl like me.
But I'm not on a soapbox,
Saying how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings,
And I'm trusting God above,
And I'm trusting you can give this baby
Both his mothers' love.



And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before,
By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.

Happy Birthday to my baby boy who turns 8 today! Mommy loves you!

My baby is a big girl!

Baby A is growing up so fast! She is holding her bottle, and she has found her feet!

Its so cute watching her explore her body and reaching for her toys. She has thee best

demeaner! (When she's not crying) ha! She is looking more and more like her dad

everyday! It kills me how funny her hair is and that it stands straight up! There is

no taming it! And the twins just love her, they love to read to her, A loves kissing her. A is way more in tune w her than R is but it's probably bc she is a girl too. I have thee greatest kids and wouldn't trade them for the world!

I also have a really great husband that I wouldn't trade for the world! He is so kind to me.

He gives me everything I ask for, and almost never tells me no. :-) He is such an amazing father!

I married UP for sure.

I may be bias, but.....

I'm pretty sure we have the prettiest kids ever!

Happy belated anniversary!

So the hubs and I celebrated our 1yr anniversary on April 23. He blew up a picture of us kissing on our wedding day, and bought a colage picture frame and printed up some of our wedding pictures and put them in there. And we went to Goodwood for dinner, it was delicious! Then we went to Wiseguys Comedy Club, and it sucked! I didnt get hypnotized and he wasn't very funny :-( I can't belive its been a year already! I seriously married up. He is so good to me and sometimes I forget to appreciate him.

Stolen Camera!

So I took the kids to the park for a picnic w one of my friends and her kids, and my camera got stolen! I'm so pissed because it had ALL of my pictures on it, and it cost me like, +120 dollars! And now I'm looking at Craigslist to see if there are any good deals there... Tomorrow is our one year anniversary, I gotta go and get the husband something good!

Dirty Kids

So it's that time of year, the sun is out, its beautiful

outside, and the kids want to be in and out ALLL day...

What am I going to do? Give them a bath 2-3 times a day? A

wants to dig in the dirt and play with bugs, her toe nails

and fingernails are so dirty!

Suck!

So were all sick now! Even my baby. I hate being sick

I hate it even more when my kids are sick. Even

though its just a cold, it sucks hardcore... My nose is stuffy

and raw from blowing it with napkins! Yeah, Im a loser and forget

to buy tissues EVERYTIME im at the store.

I suck

{sigh}

Oh, how I love my kids!

So, I was reading this blog last night right?

Holding my healthy, happy baby, listening to A laugh

at her dad for putting marshmallow's in her hot chocolate. (R was sleeping)

I am so grateful that they are healthy.

Although, I thought I didnt want anymore kids

I am SO GRATEFUL The hubs talked me into having

Baby A. Although, I'm PRETTY SURE, I dont want anymore,

I'm sad at the thought of not having anymore.

I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father that my kids

are such good, funny people. And that they are healthy,

we had some scares in the first years of the twins

but now they are all better, and haven't been that

sick ever since!

Trying to figure out this blog stuff!
