Thanksgiving Alone?

On sunday night after dinner at Spaghetti Factory in San Jose Sean got a call to go to the Sierra Mountains to work storm. Although this means Christmas is paid for, it also mean spending Thanksgiving alone. :( My Dad and his wife Patty were supposed to be here for Thanksgiving and Sean was to have a 4 day weekend. For a woman with three chilren and a husband who works 60+ hours a week this new is heartbreaking. Please send your prayers and love our way!

Halloween Fun

Took the kiddos trick or treating around Northpark apartments. It was fun, but surprisingly not that many people opened there doors, and not that many kids out trick or treating. Oh well, Schuyler and Chase had fun and didn't really know the difference.

Stopped at a neighbors house and she showed us all her cool Halloween decorations!

Schuyler didn't want to get too close.

Life is wonderfull to watch. The hope that we all start out with. The eagerness. Do you know the value of today? My children are so precious. They are so challenging to take care of and in the moment I sometimes cannot appreciate the beauty of my life. Then, when everyone is asleep at night I reflect on my day and it always makes me want to cry, sometimes out of regret, and sometimes because I can suddenly see just how glorious my world is and how blessed I am. I feel a fight every day with the advisary to take away my happiness and I promise I will not lose this battle. I feel anger, love, passion, temptation, fear, exhaustion, inside of me I know I have come from a better place, and one day I will return to my Heavenly Father. Thankyou for my little angels to keep me company while I am away. 

Screaming In Pillows!

So I live in a appartment where there are neighbors all around me and so we always try, sometimes unsuccessfully to be as quiet as possible. Well, one day I wanted to scream so bad. The kids were wrestling and acting crazy and I thought, if I could just have a good scream right now I would feel much better. So I grabbed a pillow and let loose! Well, my frustrations soon turned into laughter because the boys all thought this was hillarious and started doing it too!

Family is a thing of beauty

Big Boy Schuyler

Schuyler, my little baby is growing up. Last night we were in the car waiting for Sean when Schuyler started crying, "my tooth!" poor baby was afraid he would never look normal again. I reassured him that this is normal and we all lose our teeth and will grow "grownup teeth." Now he keeps saying, "I hope my tooth grows!" It will Schuyler, it will. We love you so much and you are growing into a beautifull big boy!Dead tooth cause by Chase hitting him!
