Extended Holiday Vacation?!

HELLO THERE!  Sorry for shouting but I wanted you to know that I am still here, alive and kickin'.  I sort of took an extended vacation for the holidays.  I truly struggle with keeping things balanced in my life.  Blogging gets put on the back burner far too often.  Do you ever feel like that guy at the circus.  You know that one that can keep 50 plates spinning all at one time? 

 I do!!

But I am back!  I promise that I will get you caught up very soon.  Until then (at the top) here is a picture of my kids!

BZZ Agent

A friend of mine shared this AWESOME website with me years ago.  I get to try up and coming products if I just promise to spread the word about that product.  This time I got to try Burt's Bees facial product line.  Those who know me well know this is right up my alley!  This stuff is AMAZING!!! It works better than any product I have ever tried before AND it is all natural!!  Check it out:

What a GLORIOUS morning!

With the Daylight Saving time change our children have been waking up a little bit earlier.  This morning they were both awake by 6:45am.  We had the best morning.  We were just living in the moment.  Mason and Mazy were  playing together.  Mazy was talking to us and all 3 of us were focused on listening to her.  We cannot even pinpoint what was so spectacular about the morning.  However, this is a morning we will never forget.  God is AMAZING!!!  We absolutely LOVE our lives!!!!!  Thank you, God!

Out of Mason's Mouth

Today when we were leaving the farmers' market and talking about different foods Mason amazed us AGAIN.

Mason- What kind of foods did God create?

 Mommy- Well, He created everything; pizza, popcorn, you name it.

Mason-How did he do that?  Did he use a magic wand?

LOVE IT!  

Bonfire

Ever since we moved into this house Steve has wanted to have a bonfire in a fire pit that was left by the previous owners. Today was the perfect night for a fire.

One of Steve's favorite things is to make popcorn in a bonfire! Mason LOVES it too!

BIG Brother

We were so nervous about having our second child. We were scared that Mason would be jealous and have animosity towards to Mazy. That is the fullest from the case. Mason adores Mazy! He is such a helper. He always ask me if he can babysit her. As I went to get their change of clothes I asked Mason if he would "babysit" her. This is what I saw when I returned! Mazy also adores Mason. She is always watching what he is doing. Getting her to sleep is a challenge because she wants to know what Mason is doing at all times.

Radiator Springs

We were driving to Union Station and we were in a dilapidated part of Kansas City. Mason says "Mom, are we in Radiator Springs?" For those of you that do not know that this the town where the movie Cars takes place. My little man is such a thinker. I truly enjoy having "adult" conversations with him. I am so thankful for my time off to spend with the loves of my life!
