The Mighty Mortys

Well it has been a couple of days and we have had some exciting times around here. We are having great Christmas spirit around here and Buddy has been adding to it all. We have the little guy drawing on pictures, drinking the syrup, and today he was attacking playing (tackeling the snowman). All in all having Buddy is a lot of fun times and anticipation of what is to come in the nights ahead.

Well he has struck again! The kids went to bed excited to wake up and figure out what this little elf has done. They woke up and went down stairs to only come back up and tell me that Buddy found a really good hiding place because they couldn't find him. We all went down to start breakfast and Gavyn yelled. He found Buddy up on the stocking holder with some interesting new stocking for them. Gavyn was in shock that his undies were hanging for all to see but we all have been laughing about it. I am dying because their dad told them that he wondered if the undies were clean and Gav got onto a chair and sniffed each one and told us that they were clean! Good job Buddy for hanging clean undies! Now off to start my day and get ready for this garage sale happening Friday!

We have a new member of the family. His name is Buddy the Elf. He came from Bryan;s parents to take information on the kids to the north Pole every night so they have an idea on how they are behaving. They are not to touch Buddy because he would loose his powers to magically leave every night. The first night, Buddy left and arrived home in a different spot than which he left. The kids think this is really funny to see the different places he is coming home in. He first was found in a tree just hanging out, and then the second night was found on top of the train in the entry way. Well, buddy must have gotten a little mischievous because we woke up to a trail of silver candy canes on the floor leading up to the ladder to the Christmas tree where he tied up the three people climbing the ladder. He sure is looking innocent while perched on the ladder holding up the people he tied up. I am going to post everyday the adventures of Buddy so stay tuned!

Well I am back for a new post. I have some things going on in life that deal me some great challenges but I am trying to not let them get a hold of me and take me down. So I am going to post things that I am grateful for.

1. I am thankful for my husband. I don't say this enough but I really do appreciate all he is and does for this family. He is very giving and a very hard worker. He loves scouts and all of the things associated with it. He is also very willing to help all who need it. He is very big on service. I love him very much!!



2. I am thankful for my sisters. I am very grateful to have Jolynn and Kami in my life. I am really having a hard time lately not having my sister around to talk to or have the sisterly visits with. I see others relationships with their sisters and I am very envious but I know that all is okay because I have the 2 best sister in laws anyone could ask for. Thanks guys for your friendships.



3. My kids. As much as they are driving me crazy right now and making me want to not be in my house I am very thankful for them. Garrett is getting ready for soccer to start, Gavyn stared flag football again, and Ella is in dance at school. It is hard to be a parent at times but I wouldn't trade it for the world.



4. I am finally getting happy with just being me. I have struggled with myself for a long time and I am just starting to like who I am. They say the first step is to say something that you like about yourself so I am going to tell you all something that I love about myself. I love my hair. As much as I complain about how heavy it is and how long it takes to do it, I love it. It is long, thick, and I love it!! There, I did it.

Well today is going to be a good day. I am excited because My nephew Blake is coming to see me at work and I am making him try on clothes for his Birthday! I am excited because this is a kid who truely deserves this. He is a very good kid and well rounded. He is also getting his Eagle soon. We are gonig to be helping him on Saturday (which is actually his real birthday). I really think that this boy is the way he is because he has great parents. (Not to mention a great Aunt!) Well I don't have much else to add right now but I am hoping to post soon.!

Well we took Garrett to get a consult at the Ortho and he wasn't to thrilled with it at first. We got into the office and that all quickly changed. There were kids video games everywhere. This quickly won him over. We went into the consult room where he showed us his K-9 tooth not able to come down and he told us that he would have to get braces on the upper part of his teeth for the first phase. Further expaining he told us within a half hours time he could put them on too. Garrett agreed and so did I. I got some really cute pictures so I will post them for all of the world to see!He truely loves them and has taken care of them.
