Once again it has been forever since I have blogged, but what can I say, I have 4 children and I stay pretty busy!! Everything is going good.. I just finished a 5 day cleanse because I have been having some issues with my gallbladder!! Now im trying to add in some healthy foods!! I LOVE FOOD...But, I HATE feeling sick all the time from food, So something had to be done!! If you know me, you know that I ALWAYS choose the natural approach if possible!! So for now, im doing a little better and still being very careful what I put in my mouth!! The boys are all doing well in school. We decided to let Dylan home school because he seems to apply himself way better that way..Poor thing, he is in the "in between" phase of not being a teen but not being a little kid..He thinks he is grown at times and im not gonna lie, it breaks my heart to see my son struggle through this phase!! Im trying to give him more love & a little space as he is making this transition:(! Jag is good! He is a super sweet kid, always looking to please us! I know his day is comin' so im soaking up all of his sweetness for now!! We just celebrated Roman turning 5 last week!! Time sure flew by for that little boy!! He is doing so good at school & learning so much

!! His behavior at home has improved so much over the last year!! Mattie turns 1.5 this week!! I am serious people, DON'T BLINK or you will miss your children being little!! It goes by so fast!! She is talking more and more every day! She is VERY smart & advanced for her age!! She can sing songs..Say anything you tell her to say, and count to 4!! I finally weaned her about 6 weeks ago!! She nursed the longest out of all of my children!! It was a great experience for both of us!! We are trying to teach the boys some responsibility so we have been giving them things to do around the house!! They do a good job at it!! We have been spending most of our time outside in the evening because it has been so nice!! Fall is by far my favorite time of the year!! I am the busiest with my Photography and everything is so pretty to me in the Fall!! Hopefully I will get back in to blogging a little more! Until then I will leave you with some pics:)

The New Year....The New ME:)

I cannot believe it is already a New Year!!! I have a lot to be thankful for looking back at 2011!!! Some highlights are, We finally had a GIRL, My side of the family welcomed 3 babies within a month!!! They were all healthy babies and we are so thankful! My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer & they were able to remove it and she did have to go through radiation but NO chemo!!!She has had a rough year but in the end, looking back, the Lord was with us every step of the way!! Why do we ever doubt??? It seems like in every phase of my life when things seemed to be totally falling apart, God comes and holds my hand & helps me make it through! SO, in 2012 I turn 30..haha...im not worried in the least about being 30, I just want to be my healthiest mentally, physically & spiritually when I get to 30!! That means some major dieting & exercise(joy) & im not just looking to get thin but HEALTHY!!!!!I need to take better care of myself for my family! Im setting many goals for myself this year and for the first time in my life, i really feel I will reach them!! Some other things im gonna work on are: Spending way LESS time on facebook and way MORE time in my Bible. I have failed in this area and I will NOT spend my life wrapped up in technology and not be the wife and momma that I need to be..Im gonna try to stop Gossipping...lol...this is hard for me because who doesnt love to gossip??!!! Oh dear, I have to do better..I want to be an encouragement to people! Ya know, like if I think there hair looks good, by all means im gonna tell them. Simply, Be Kind. Everyone has struggles and you never know how just by giving a compliment or sending a card, you can make someones day!! Im gonna cook more recipes...venture out & not always cook the same things!! Im gonna spend way more Quality time with my children..I want to make memories with them that they will always remember. I dont want them to have memories of me being grouchy all the time! Im gonna praise them more for the little things!! After all, im molding their self esteem for life!! Now that i have written a book, im done for now...lol! I look forward to this being the Best Year Ever!!!!
