Groundhog day...

I'm so busy all day but if you ask me WHAT I've been doing...I'll just shrug my shoulders and say..."nothing". Everyday is groundhog day with an occasional blip of church callings, doctor appointments, and Chick Fil A playdates.

Wake up
Breakfast
Preschool (MWF)
Gym
Lunch
Naps
Dinner
Bedtime
Repeat

We actually had a couple of date nights bowling and to a rodeo but I have no pictures to show for it so it's almost like it didn't happen, right?

I have days where I am at my breaking point and can't imagine how my mom raised ten kids...and then days when I realize that I am doing exactly what I have always wanted. Those are the days that I am the happiest. The days that I remember that the JOY is truly in the JOURNEY...

If only I could get that tattooed on my brain.


We've been spending a lot of time on this...
Sometimes the whole family, sometimes just the boys...
























Anyone know how to Photoshop a pedicure?





Sunset cruise with the Clarks.

This sums up WES...fist in mouth...in his Bumbo...watching me cook.

Those are the best pictures of Wes! He is just too cute for words! And that is totally true! I never even know what day it is because they are all the same!

I totally get it. i get caught up in the routie of it all and need someone to pull me out! Life is great though I wouldn't have it any other way...unless garet didn't have to work so we could spend everyday together.
I can't believe his gorgeous hair. He is so cute. I can't wait to meet him.

I know the feeling. At least your cooking. We had cereal for dinner tonight but I have big plans...for sometime...

Wes got Dad's HAIR!!!! That's freaking awesome. What a cute little guy.

You guys got a little boat? I bet that has been so much fun. The picture of John and Brock reminds me of some I've seen of our parents with us kids in the late 70's. I don't know why...is it the shirt or the facial hair? Too funny.

I can see how you need to be reminded that joy is the journey. I find myself looking forward to Danny being through with school. Then I realize that Axton is growing up before my eyes and that I truly am happy working also. How sad is it that I subconsciously wish time away? I wish I could get it tattood on my brain too.

Oh Wes....I just want to squeeze him everytime I see him....I had the biggest urge to just scoop him up today and hold him and love him when i saw him after the game.....

Christy - it is the happy days that sculpts who you are....what a wonderful loving mother you are.....

P.S. can I borrow your kitchen and children to decorate cookies for the holidays?

First, Brock is looking so grown up! Second, Weston is so adorable. LOVE his hair....I'm hoping our lil' guy gets hair like that! Hope you're doing well!

Heather said...
