Happy Birthday NICOLE!!!!!

We celebrated our sweet friend Nicole's birthday
tonight. How very nice to know we have a whole new year with her! If you have a special friend let them know how much you adore them. Take the time to love them for who they are and make some memories! :)





I just love this lady and her warm and inviting smile! :) She is always so cheery and just makes sure you feel loved on by the time you leave. I love women who like to mother you and uplift you. You know the kind....you leave from them and your better for the time you had with them. VERY RARE! Cherish it if you find it!

Oh and, Nicole, baby is kicking up a storm! HA HA

A Fall Day With the Sweetest of Friends

I spent the day with Nicole and our families. It was one of those fall days where I am allowed to love on PUPPIES and BABIES! I want a baby so bad!

Nicole and I are trying to start up a "lapbook" business. Pray for us! Even if it bombs it is so much fun. We want to make them on themes we just can't seem to find anywhere else. If you have an idea let us know. Our first one is about Gypsies. Now our lapbooks will be for our age children for now and as they grow I guess the books will expand to include them. :)

We got alot done yesterday. We were so proud of ourselves. Now I have to sit down and do my work on my half. It isn't as fun without her. :(

By the way, if you live in the area and you want a goat or a puppy, let us know! HEE HEE...



I just love this little girl! :)





My crazy oldest!







Mrs. H is such a sweetie. :)

It is so hard to get back into the groove after a day like yesterday. ;)

Elijah wore these spy glasses all day! I think I know what he would like for Christmas. :)







And this is why my back is so sore today! Mrs. E gave me a workout!





Mr. C is just like my boys! It is so neat to see him at work.

A Swim Day with Nicole and Family

We spent the day with Nicole and her sweet babies last week. I am in love with them all! :)

The older children swam, alot!

The babies took a nap and the bigger kids played video games while we made lunch.

Miss A woke-up later and ate her meal by the pool. :)

I am in love with Nicole's itty bitty girls! Miss E is so sweet!

Nicole homeschools her children and we have so much in common!!!!! I am really looking forward to growing closer to this family. :) Thank God for sweet new friends. :) I guess it doesn't hurt when I get to love on sweet chubby babies. :) Miss A said that she was only a big girl at her house, but she was a baby at my house! HA HA! What a hoot!
