Being Happy

So my husband and I recently bought a house, and we absolutely love it. Its the size we wanted, and its a Ranch Style house. It has a basement too, which we definitely decided the house we bought had to have one.  We have always wanted to live in Riley, and have our kids grow up here. We have been talking about moving here for 6 yrs! Well I'm so glad we finally did, I love it here in Riley. Logan will be in Kindergarten, and our kids will get to grow up in a smaller town.

I always strive to do better each day, to try and eat better, communicate better, strive to improve my marriage, strive to be a better mom, and spend lots of time with my kids, and to make the time to do things for myself. Most importantly I try and find positive in each situation. But I try to improve myself everyday. My family means the world to me.

 My husband is my world, we have gotten thru a lot of hard times with our son, and worked together to make our marriage stronger than ever. My husband is a very supportive man, he is very open. In order to stay positive, u need to surround yourself with people who love and care about you.

 I have the most awesome sister-in -law, she moved closer to us a couple months ago. She has made me realize a lot of things. She has a girl that's my youngest' age. They have a wonderful time together. When her and I are together, we are so happy. We can relate a lot, and laugh together like it's not a thing.

Logan is also doing very well he will be going to Kindergarten and this year has sure been his year to shine. I  am so proud of what he has learned this year in preschool. He is very proud of himself too!

I love being a stay at home mom during the week!

I got my haircut recently and I have really been loving it! I think this will be the style for quite some time! ;)

I wanted to make sure and post this picture because I feel this is very heartwarming. My sisters school class all wore grey shirts in  honor of our son Logan having brain cancer.

This is definitely my new motto for 2014!! The quote says it all! I am who I am. I say what I feel.

This is a picture of me with my nephews. Christmas 2013

I look forward to what 2014 has in store for us!



My 2014 resolution is to make time for what is important. You can do anything you set your mind to. Life is too short to dwell or worry about things that really don't matter. Don't make time for people that don't make time for you. Always make time for you and your spouse to spend alone together. Do what makes you happy. Always forgive and forget, and give second chances. BE your own person, nobody wants to see a copycat of someone else.

Date Night

Last evening my husband and I went on a date! We went to dinner and a movie,  and we did some shopping! It was a really fun time. We are really the kind of people to just chill out at home cuddle and watch a movie kind of people, so it was very nice to actually go out to dinner and watch a movie together. But anyway we planned on eating at Chilis, but when we got there it was PACKED, and both of us were starving so we decided on Denny's. It was great we caught up on some things, and had a really great meal together. Then it was off to do some shopping together, then the movie. We saw the Act of Valor! We had a great night together.

What I'm Loving This Week!

This week I am really loving the WEATHER!!
- It has been extremely nice here lately! I am just so thankful! I just love it when it is nice, because my mood is alot better it seems, and Logan gets to get out of the house and burn off the extra energy he always has, gotta love the fresh air too!!

My HUSBAND- I am really appreciating the extra help I have been receiving from my husband! He has been superdad here lately! He has just been extraordinary!

 



POTTY TRAINING- I am really enjoying potty training, did I really just say that!? Haha. Logan has been doing wonderful with not complaining because it's potty time, and he is actually seeming to enjoy it! We went and got him some Cars pull-ups this week and he is in love with them. He no longer wears diapers whatsoever! Just big boy pull-ups!


How was ya'lls week!?

Can't stop gushing>

This week was Logans routine chemotherapy week and the weatherman had said that we were supposed to get like 6-8 inches of snow! Well we knew we had to make sure logan got down to KC to get his treatment so Anthony decided that he was going to go with us to make sure we made it safe, since it is not good to drive in icy weather if you havent done it many times in your life and PLUS there are alot of CRAZY un cautious drivers out there! So he went up with us and logan tolerated really well as usual so thankful for that and, Anthony was so glad to be there for us to help out, So we went down monday night and came back wed night! And Logan he is just too darn sweet, i cant help gushing about how cute he is when he talks and laughs, I have got to be the LUCKIEST mother and wife ever!




Do you have anything you would like to share that you like to gush about!?
