Oatmeal Anyone??

So yesterday Emma insisted on feeding herself her oatmeal ~ This is the result!! She was having so much fun! I guess that's all that matters, right?

For Lukas!

First of all, thank you so much to everyone for all your support and prayers for my nephew Lukas! Our entire family has felt them. I know Kurt and Heather, Theron and Lukas, have felt them especially. So thank you! I am in the processes of setting up a blog for Lukas, it will have updates and pictures of the little man while he is going through all of this. Also we are setting up a bank account so that donations may be made straight to Lukas and his family. I hope that you will all find that helpful and that we can continue to support Lukas in this long battle that he has before him! He is so sweet, and we all just love him to pieces!

Okay the website for the blog for Lukas is http://www.lukasmac.blogspot.com/

I will start posting things tomorrow!!

Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I thought I would let Melissa and everyone else know that I too want to have thanksgiving in my home! This last week in our family has brought to light a bunch of things to be thankful for! Most of all I think I am thankful for my Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ! I know that without them none of us would be here and none of us would have the chance to be with them again. I have really learned this week to rely on Them and the Spirit to get us all through this difficult time. I know that the Lord will never forsake us, and that all we have to do is talk to him. I know that he loves us and is mindful of what we are going through! I'm very thankful for that, and for the knowledge that Families can be together Forever!!

I am very thankful for my family, my wonderful Husband, and my Beautiful Sweet Children. I'm thankful for all of the rest of our families also. And last I'm thankful for Lukas and for the spirit he has brought to this entire family! Especially to his parents and his big brother. We all love that little guy and we know that he is strong and will continue to fight through this!!

Love you all and hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Paying It Forward!

My sister in law Melissa is doing this and I thought it sounded like fun and fit well with the season of giving. I will send a handmade gift (maybe, if I'm feeling creative) to the first three (3) people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. You may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days!

The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. (So, you must have a blog to participate.) I cant wait to see who I will be giving to. To join, just cut and paste this on your blog and comment away. So get posting!!! "Tis the season for giving..... and blogging :)

Parks!

The kids had so much fun at Theron's birthday party the other day!! They love the park, and we hardly ever take them.

Coen was trying to push Emma on the swing!

Emma was growling at me (which she does a lot)!!

Aren't they so cute! I just love them!!!!

Big Brothers!!

A couple of days ago we were going over to Amy's house, so I said "okay its time to go." So Coen says "Emma, its time to go. Hold my hand!" It was so cute, but she actually did it. so I was trying to get a picture of them, it was a little hard! Coen is the sweetest big brother ever!!

Pig Tails!

Ive been having fun doing Emma's hair lately, but I cant seem to get a good picture! She looks so cute in pig tails!!!

Coen felt left out of the whole thing and wanted a picture of his hand too!!

AARRRRRRRRR!!

We had lots of fun last night at our ward trunk or treat! Coen and Emma had a blast. Emma was loving it, she was just strutting her stuff all over that parking lot! She was having fun dragging her bucket all the over and getting candy!! It was quit the challenge getting the kids to let me take their picture too. They were just not going to be still! They were both really cute!! I thought we looked like a fun pirate family! What do you think????
