THANKSGIVING 2012

today, was the best! i love being around my family, talking, hanging out, taking pictures, watching the kids connect, seeing all the smiles, hearing all the conversations,.... it just is amazing how nice it is to be with family. to feel totally at peace with yourself and who you are.

i am so thankful for my life. for God. for Robert. for matt. for cody. for zac. for mollie. for levi. for brody. for our home(even tho it has tons of work to be finished). for our jobs(even though all of that is as jacked up as anything could be)..God thank you so much for being in my heart and soul. for walking (guiding) me thru each and every day. For giving me a husband who loves me unconditionally. for kids who i see YOu in. For everything in my life!!!

Thank you LORD for all these things and more!

this is the funniest, craziest, and happy family i know.  i love it when we get together.

zac has started playing some roundball again! 2 games in, he has scored 33 points! 17 the first game and 16 the second. wooohoooo!!! i love it!

we did a really quick shoot before dark..and got some pretty amazing pics of this precious family. i love you guys so much..

cody and kenzie had their own photo shoot! i was so excited when cody asked me to take them out and shoot! we got tons of good pics too!

11-10-12... matts first deer. actually, this was his first day ever to deer hunt! it wasnt a bad day in the woods, and it sure put some meat in the freezer!

Brody and Levi... oh my goodness these two boys melt my heart. i love them so much. just look at those faces, and smiles!! they are growing up so fast tho.


well, there ya go... a little bit of what i have been up to! my sweet, loving, awesome family.

really, i feel like all i do is work! but looking back thru some pics to post about our goin ons..i realize i have a lot of family time too. I guess work just consumes my mind, not quite all my time. lol

life is a little hectic and stressful right now. we just learned a week ago that the warehouse has sold, and they do not plan on keeping it open. so, if that pans out like we are told, rob, matt and i will all be out of a job. it is very daunting to think about. it worries me more hours than i like to admit. i pray a whole, whole lot and i try really hard to give all my worries to God. i just cant seem to do it. it's not that i dont have faith in God, cause i really do. it is just hard not to think what could happen to us.

but after a long day at work, and a long day of worry, i look at these faces and know that they are all that really matter to me. i love these people more than anything i know. they are the reason i try most days. i am proud of who they are, what they stand for and how they fit in my life.  i do know God will be there for us. what will become of our job and us financially, i dont know. but He has it... i do know that!

Get a good perspective, appreciate the simple things God has blessed you with.

love you all..and if you read this, please say a prayer.
