Sleeping Beauty

My kids are picky eaters.  Okay, okay, you can probably blame it on us, but we are trying to be better.  Thus, our Sleeping Beauty at the table one Sunday evening.  We don't force our kids to eat the meal if they don't like it, but we do expect them to try something that they haven't before.  My stubborn little girl, (wonder where she gets that from!!) refused to try the meal, so she just sat there until she ultimately won the battle...she just fell asleep.  Fine, new rule, you cannot leave the table unless you try your food, or fall asleep.  
Which ever one comes first...

Oh she's a smart girl that little Kennedi. Found a way out! Although, I can't imagine her not liking something her parents cooked. They are pretty darn good cooks! Love ya.

First of all, I am SO JEALOUS of your camera. Your pictures come out so clear, and the colors are awesome. I love it. Did I mention I was jealous?

Also, I LOVE that you are doing all this catching up (pregnant, no less!) because it is so fun to open the list of blogs I follow and see that you've updated again. Seriously, I love it. Thanks for doing this, it really makes my day.

That is HILARIOUS! Seriously so funny! We have the same rule with our girls, only if they refuse to take a bite they go straight to bed for the night (which means they usually try it).... so I guess Kennedi just volunteered lol :) Cute cute.

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
