Quick catch up

Happy Nee Year!!! Today I had many cuddles and some quality family time as I thought about all my experiences/lessons in 2011:
•before you know it, in a blink of an eye your sweet little munchkins have grown to these amazing little people that constantly amaze you everyday in every way!
•Chris worked in Cincinnati for 6 months (taught me much patience and appreciation for his long hours)
•Between my husband and my 2 boys, every day they teach me to not sweat the small things and to be 100% in the moment at that time. Not having my mind somewhere else while we are together. To slow down and enjoy those little moments!
•My husband officially finished his 11yrs of training and I couldn't be more proud of his accomplishments! Thank you for your dedication and hard work. I am so honored to have gone through this journey with you! You are the most amazing person I have ever met!!!
•To be so inspired by the most free spirited little 3 year old that I have the honor of calling my son. Unbelievable all the lessons you have taught me in such a short period of time. Thank you for helping me to learn how to grow everyday as your mom and teaching me to be adaptable with your ever changing needs! I am so blessed by your kind heart and love to see things through your eyes! I am so thankful that God chose ME to be your mommy.
•To be so lucky to have so many dates with my almost 6 yr old! I wouldn't be who I am today without you. You are always my sidekick and so helpful with everything. Thank you for all if your help with all my favors I ask you to do, but most importantly for being such an dancing big brother!!! Tucker is do lucky to have you teach him so many things and be so patient!!! You are an angel I thank God for everyday!

My 2011 blessings are endless and I know 2012 has so many things to offer! Can't wait to see what we are blessed with. Here are a few pics to wrap up the year!

Out with the old, in with the new!

Happy New Years Day! As I sit on the couch this morning with my professional cuddler, Tuck, I am thinking about our amazing 2011!
•Coop turned 5
•we moved
•Chris worked in Cincinnati for 6 months (definitely learned a new level of patience while he was gone)
•Tuck turned 3
•Many great memories with great family and friends.

I am ever so thankful for my blessings I have been given and can't wait to see what 2012 brings!

Heres to the New Year and wishing you many blessings and many cuddles! May you ALWAYS remember to slow down and take the time to enjoy those moments. My sweet children are teaching me to do this everyday.

Til next time,

Make Like a Tree........and LEAVE!!!







Leaves, Leaves....all around us! Fall is one of my most favorite times of the year. I love the colors, the smells, of course the FOOD, and the time for giving! We recently put all our leaves in a pile and went HOG WILD! This was Tuck's first time to experience this outdoor fiesta......he had the best time ever! They were so busy covering eachother up and throwing the leaves all over. Even the dog enjoyed running thru the pile a couple of times.

Daddy couldn't resist the fun and had to enjoy it himself. Who would have EVER thought that a pile of dried up leaves could entertain a family for hours!!! I am SO thankful for my husband and my children. They help me realize all the little things in life and to make sure I take time to enjoy them. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the hussle and bussle of the holidays...we often forget that! Seeing the look on Tuck's face when he experienced the pile of leaves for the first time was priceless! Something I will forever cherish!
Until next time,
Amanda
