Zombies, Zombies everywhere...

Sitting at the kitchen table while Zach watches some Left for Dead zombie movie online with Travis. Not my type of movie for sure. We are waiting on a call from the Ford dealership so Zach can take the Vue down there and see what we can get on trade-in for it. That's right! We are getting a new car! And its crazy to me that getting a brand new car is actually the most economical thing we could do right now.

Later we may head on into Texarkana. Zach has a hankering for some Fuzzy's Tacos. I don't know what else we will do.

Zoe is in her room watching Mickey Mouse and working on a puzzle. It's her "work" and she takes puzzle making very seriously. Brother is not allowed in her room at present because he may disturb her process or as she so lovingly put it, "annoy" her.

Many blessings today! Don't think zombies are one of them, not for me anyways.

Sprinkles of thought...

Whew, what a day today has been. Noah was fussier than usual today. He has worn me out. Zoe has the listening skills of a...well, I guess a 3 year old...I'm pretty sure I sound like the grown ups on Charlie Brown to her.

I have been working hard lately on being positive and energetic. For so many months now I have had a hard time just physically getting out of bed in the morning. I'm finally feeling something akin to being human again.

Tonight Zach is at a Methodist Men function. He is beginning his busiest time of the year now and I'm not so excited. However, just knowing that I am feeling so much better makes his being gone so much easier to handle.

I'm gearing up for Easter and Zoe's birthday. This will be a different birthday for Zoe and I'm a little concerned about how she will handle things. She has this idealized idea of what birthdays are from friends and tv and she's not going to have anything like that. She has asked for about a million things for her birthday and we have had several discussions that she can not and will not get everything she asks for. She really knows how to lay on the guilt, even at her young age.

Trying everyday to be the best Me that I can be, the best mother, wife, daughter, sister and child of God...a constant struggle.

Praising God today for my loving husband, my beautiful kids, and reliable internet :) amongst other things of course.

Whoa...

It's been ages since I blogged last....So many changes. I realize after reading my old posts how beneficial it is, just for me to remember my children as they were younger. I keep journals for both of my children but this may help too. Also, if anyone cares to read what I have to say, they can. More later...I promise.

Long time no blog...

So today Zach informed me that I needed to update the blog so I'll do as told. Christmas was great but we are glad it's over. Zoe enjoyed unwrapping the gifts and really dug everything she got. Work is good but busy as usual. Yesterday we got a new dog. Our dog Ranger had to be put to sleep in November. Our other dog Thor has been very lonely, to the point of wasting away to nothing. We finally found a good dog that we could afford so Zoe, me and our friend Sarah Ballard went and got him yesterday. He's part schnauzer and part beagle, or schneagle. We named him Burton Guster. Zoe calls him "my puppy" and is very protective of him. Anyway, that's all the time I have for now. Peace..

Holidays

Hello all! I've really fallen behind on this blogging thing. I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. We had a great holiday despite Zoe getting over being ill. We are gearing up for Christmas and are excited about Zoe experiencing more of the Holiday this year. She is still trying to figure out the Christmas Tree but loves it. She doesn't want to touch it but she loves to look at it. Okay, now for pitcures. I'll attach pictures of Thanksgiving and the following days.

Riley and Zoe coloring before Thanksgiving lunch. He's such a good Riley.

Zoe with Aunt Donice and Cousin Aubrey. They had a good time playing together.

Zoe got to play Ms. Pac-Man at Grams and Granddads. She was pretty good actually.

Zoe and Aunt Kelly were dancing while we put up Weazers Christmas tree.

Halloween and such..

Hey guys! Well November is here and it's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner. This is one of my favorite time of the year. I LOVE Thanksgiving. We had a good Halloween. We went trick or treating with our friends the Schricks and their little one Abby. Abby is two weeks younger than Zoe so they make good friends. I add some pictures of the cute little ones. Tomorrow Zach and our friend Travis leave for Comic Con in Dallas. We kid them about being dorks but I know they will have tons of fun. We have been busy with HOPE, the after school program at church. It's a real blessing to see how these kids are being positively affected. Okay, that's all I have time for right now. Peace.

Zoe and Grandmommy.

Fall is here!!

Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing well! We have been great and busy as usual. We had a great weekend. It started off Friday. I was hope sick and Zach got to be my substitute. He seemed to enjoy himself and I appreciate the fact that now he knows what my days are like. He's such a great husband. Saturday we had Karate and then went to Grams and Granddads to see their new baby donkey. Zoe enjoyed seeing the baby. Then we went and watched our "Aunt" Erin march in the Plainview Marching Festival. She and the rest of the band did a great job. I'll attach some pictures for you to enjoy.

Here's Zach and Zoe. Zoe is doing one of her new favorite activity which is flashing her belly. Zach hopes she grows out of it very soon.

Paige, Grams, Zach and Zoe looking at the donkeys.

Granddad is allowed to get close to the new donkey, only one day old in this picture. So cute.

Zoe enjoyed it.

Zoe loved watching the band and hearing the music.

And here's Aunt Erin, flag girl on the left. Zoe loves her Ebai.
