Cannot believe that I have a 20 year old!

Ok all I can say is WOW! Logan Matthew Ray came in at an astounding 9lbs and 3 ozs. 22 inches long with many broken things! This young man has had many loving and amazing people in his life and at this moment seems to be very happy! I am proud to be his mom! I sure wish that Larry had been in is life sooner not just for him but for me as well. Happy Birthday at 4:45 am on the 30th!

Sweet 16

Well the day is getting started wih the first cup of coffee! I am gonna need it! Sam has a game at 2:30 then we are off to prepare the party site! 7 to 11 with several 16 year olds! It will be fun! Still cannot believe she is 16!

More to the story!

Well as you may well know there is ALWAYS more to the story, and in this family that is sooooo true!!

I get to update today due to me working my 40 hrs! So here are a few pics of my Ava Grace!!

Ok! Ok! Ok! I know it has been a very long time since I have said or done anything with my blog!! Well here is a few updates! I now have a new Seasonal Job that works me to death!! I work for Scotts Miracle Gro. Very hard work but I think Larry loves that I sleep instead of talk him to death at the end of the day!! I am in bed by 8 and up around 4:45 am yes am!! Chesleigh is now 16 and has in the last week had her first REAL date and went to Prom!! Poppie and I did get the amazing adventure of attending and staying till every child had a ride!! Now this weekend we will have her party at a friends concert venue and have 2 Christian Rock bands perform for the evening! Which means that for the last and next Saturday Larry and I cannot hear!! Someone said this week that if it is tooooo loud then you are to old!! Am NOT!! SO  I have said enough today will say more later in the week!!!

Made it to the 27th!

Well we made it to the 27th! I know you are wondering how we did well, here goes. Larry my Saint of a Husband kept me busy. This is the very first Christmas that I have ever spent without Kids or any family.So I am patting myself on the back for surviving till now. We did get just one kiddo back today due to her having a "Social Life". I guess Chesleigh almost being 16 is entilled to have one. We hope to get all the kiddos back on the 31st but for some reason in the pit of my stomach it feels like it won't happen, so we shall see.

The stress of the past 8 weeks has really taken a hard toll on my mind,body and spirit. Mind wise Larry takes care of by keeping me busy and his ever so up beat attitude. Body is really suffered by gaining at least 10 pounds and that really sucks!!!! Spirit is in 2 ways been affected, I sometimes miss the bubbly person I was back then those long  ago days 8 weeks before the day my life changed forever. And the one thing that I loved was going to Church and now when we go all I can do is cry. Sad but true.


I hope all that read had a wonderful Christmas and will have a wonderful New year!! Keep us posted so I don't get bored!!!

Well it has been a very interesting 3 weeks. Not sure if the bad part is over yet, time will tell. Never in a million years would I have ever dreamed that my own child would try something so dangerous to himself and to put his family and friends in such a state of confusion. I am the first to admit that I may have not been the best mom, but once upon a time I could and would have said that the only thing that I do best is being a mom. Some how along the way I messed up Logan along with his lifestyle choice and lack of God in his life did not help. If you read this please pray that he can make it to Jan without tying that again. I cannot bear to imagine our lives without him in it. I always thought it would get easier when they grew up, but I would much rather have my little on back so I can fix all his problems.

Loving Life

Well now that football is over we can get a little bit done around here! Like family dinner and a clean house for starters!!! I am off tomorrow and plan on being a cleaning machine!! Hope to get the kids in gear to help but I won't hold my breath!!!
