Down on Luck

It seems that in desperate times we don't always know who to turn to. When you think you have a good friend they always seem to turn out to be someone different. All I know is that I always have one person who will listen to my side, who will love me regardless of my flaws. Someone that I can turn to wherever I am, whenever I need them. When I am feeling down on my luck, or singled out by my peers, I know I can always turn to my Heavenly Father. The love he gives me is unconditional, unjudging, pure, kind, and comforting. Sometimes I forget how wonderful it is to feel this love. So anyone out there that feels like the world is out to get you, that your so-called friends just aren't what they seem, and you're down on your luck, just remember that the Lord will always be there for you no matter what. All you need to do is pray, and you will find comfort.

Christmas...finally!

I know it's really late, but here are some pictures of the kids on Christmas day. When Kaylee came out she saw her new tents and tunnels and she was so happy! She got some really cool stuff, she even got some new roller skates! Crew got a new car (that Kaylee soon took over), and a musical station that he is in love with. He will seriously stand there for hours just playing with all the features of it. They had a blast and so did Chris and I! I got some really cool things too! I got an Ipod Shuffle, and some new shoes. Chris got his Xbox 360(he got it early, but it was still for Christmas). He also got Xbox live, which he plays every day! And he got some socks, and the whole Family Guy series on DVD.

Kaylee in her new tent. (She slept in one of the tents every night for a week straight).

Once Kaylee gets bored of the car, Crew gets to try it out.

Crew's new favorite toy!

Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it's already been 4 years since Chris and I got married. Time flies! It's been great, and I am really glad that I found such a wonderful man. Since we've been married we have had two kids, bought 3 houses, moved over 5 times, made several friends, been camping so many times I can't even remember, and most of all, we've never let our love die. So here is to four more glorious years.... ok and like 50+ more after that!

Oh Christmas Tree

The other day I was looking at our Christmas tree and realized that it looked very very bare! I mean we don't really have that many ornaments anyways, but it looked like half of them were gone! I didn't think that much about it, but later when I went to plug in our tree lights I saw about 15 ornaments clumped together on one branch in the very back on the bottom part of the tree. Then I realized what Kaylee was always doing when she went missing for awhile.

Kaylee the Dramatic

She makes one beautiful Snow White!

But an even cuter dead princess!
