Has it really been OVER a year since I have posted here?? I really need to get it into gear :)
I think of my blog when I have a lot on my mind so here I have find myself today.....
I have been thinking about family and how blessed I truly feel with the one I have! I have a husband who after almost 12 years I still dearly love and 2 children who make my heart swell more with each passing day. But there is more to my family than that....
My parents, I love them so much and am so blessed to have them. I am grateful to have a mother that I WANT to talk to EVERY SINGLE DAY! And we still always have something new to talk about. And a Father who taught me very well that Family is what is imporant. They are the ones that will be there for you through thick and thin. I haven't forgotten that lesson daddio!
My Grandparents, I was blessed with amazin grandparents. I am so thankful that I still have 3 out of 4 still living. I have so many amazing memories of my childhood that was spent with them. And my children are blessed to have their great-grandparents be in their lives and to feel that love.
A Sister, I love that I have my Big Sister. We have may different lives but always seem to be joined our sisterly bond. It was such a joy to get to experience to motherhood for the first time with her and to have her strength and support when it was needed. And now to watch our children grow toghether and to see our family bond continue with a new generation is priceless.
Aunts and Uncles and Cousins, I am so thankful that I was raised in a family where the WHOLE family got together and that I was able to grow up playing with all of my cousins. And that my Aunts and Uncles where always there and again are there for everything with my Children, spoiling them rotten :) .
In laws, I am truly blessed to have Married a man who has a family that I LOVE! I know a lot of people out there are not so lucky. I really think of them as MY Family not just my husbands. And feel blessed every moment I get to spend with them.
I'm sure I've missed someone or something but my kids are going to tear the house apart any minute HAHA.
I want to add one thing more....
I am grateful for my Faith. And the blessings that faith brings to me. I believe that my Family is forever and that is something that brings me joy EACH and EVERY DAY.
Love you all!

Reminded
I've been reminded today how precious my life is....everyone who knows me knows that I'm on a few mothering message boards. Well some may think they are silly but I love them and have become friends with many mothers from them.
My heart broke this morning to find that one of our long time members lost her battle to cancer yesterday! She has two daughters who are so, so young. Too young to have just lost their mother. I cry every time I think of it. I can't imagine the loss that her family is feeling today. To think of missing a single moment of my boys lives just makes the tears flow harder. Or having have to watch my partner, my bestfriend, my forever, leave this world......
So I am reminded how THANKFUL I am to have Evan, my bestfriend, my love. John, my wild, my sweet first child. And Alan, my soft sweet baby. And how I need to make lasting memories with them!
This has been on my mind all day and tonight at bedtime it really hit me hard and I couldn't keep the tears hidden. I kept hugging John and telling him how much I love him. And then he went to choose his bedtime book. He choose I'll love you forever. Well if that didn't push me over the edge. I cried through the entire book. And then tucked him in and we sang our normal bedtime songs. After I was done singing he asked me why I had tears coming down my face. I told him it was because I am so lucky to be his mother. And he replied with, Mommy you are so beautiful! Seriously, I am Blessed to have this child! Of course this made me cry more and give him more kisses. I told him that I will love him forever and always and he then says I'll always be your son.
So for those of you reading this. Give your husbands, wives, children, pets, whoever and extra hug and kiss. Forget about the annoying things they do. Forget about the dishes in the sink or the dirty bathroom (yes this is my house right now) and enjoy every second with them. Make memories, dance to a silly song, play in the rain, be happy and LOVE!
To ALL of my family and friends. I love you so much. You make my life better for being in it and you are all always in my thoughts and prayers whether we are near or far.
Becky, I know that you are no longer in pain and watching over your husband and girls from a happier place. You were such and amazing fighter. Thank you for the gift that you have given me. Forever and Always....

I'm REALLY bad at this
Blogging that is....why I never post is beyond me :)
Things are going great here!
The boys are WILD as always.
Alan has started WALKING! Can you believe it. Time is really flying by this time. He rarely falls now and has figured out how to stand back up on his own. He is eating more and more regular food, but he is so silly and really hates touching much with his hands so I still have to feed him LOL. He is starting to babble alot too and John and I both swear he said Dada this morning in the middle of his ramblings. He loves John soooo much. He follows him from room to room and I know I'm can actually get things done if I put him in the playroom with John, but if John leaves the room he flips out.
John, John, John. What more can I say. I think he is going to be my child that always tests his limits. It amazes me how Sweet and just loving he can be and then how quickly he can turn into this mad, rude 3 year old! He does not do well with change and wants things his way. Lets just say he knows the corners in our house VERY well. But I so love that he loves to snuggle his mommy. It always makes my heart melt.
Brotherly love....thinking of my boys together seriously takes my breath away. Too see the pure love they have for one another is such a blessing. It is so sweet to watch John get excited that his brother does something. And to see Alan get excited when we play "find John" everynight at bedtime. They love to hug and wrestle with each other. It just brings joy to a Mommy's heart. Makes me feel a little less guilty for all of the one on one time John has lost with me and the one and one time that Alan will never get.
Blah, Blah...I'll hunt up some pictures....
Wrestle mania
John at the Park
Alan LOVES to sleep in my Buckle-Tai Carrier
that's all I've got online right now so that will have to do :)

Honest People!!
I just have to come and say how Thankful I am today for the honest people who are still out there!
My Aunt and Uncle had shipped us two boxes full of Christmas gifts for the boys, well due to a few errors it was delivered to an incorrect address. Left at their door. Well we figured they were gone and that someone got some good gifts :( When this morning my Aunt calls me to say that she was called by the person who received the packages!!! They then called me and we met so that I could get them back :) There were 15 gifts in there and the woman re-wrappwed them all due to the wrapping paper getting all wet from the delivery guy leaving them in the rain!
Thank you sooo much for making our Holiday a little brighter, I am seriously going to find out where you live and send you something special!!
Now if only my other package (gifts I was going to give) that is lost in the mail would turn up!!

Not a great Blogger
So I offically stink at blogging haha.
I am a total blog stalker for others yet I always fail to update ours. I think I see a resolution for the new year presenting its self :)
Things are going well here. We are getting ready for Christmas. Finally got the last bits for the tree - a star and tree skirt - this morning. Evan couldn't believe how many lights I put on it - 900 - but it glows so beautifully haha.
I'm already almost done shopping which I'm thrilled about, but at the same time that means I have to start wrapping, which I HATE. I'm not good at it, but thankfully all John wants to do is rip it off anyway.
I can't wait for Christmas Morning to get here and see Johns face.
For those in my family, you know I love Christmas and have been known to wake up rather early in my excitement. Well I have found that I am worse in my excitement to see his. Last year I found myself laying awake in bed just waiting for him to wake up :)
Well enough random talk and I have no pictures to add. I have been lazy with the camera lately.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Flash Back...
So talking about John being a sweet boy, made me go back and look at old videos....here are a few of my favorite of my little man...
Brotherly Love
Tonight was so sweet....
Today was a day that bedtime could not come fast enough and I was getting really impatient with John to hurry up and pick a story so I could get him to sleep and then nurse Alan to sleep. Then he picks my favorite book. "I'll love you forever". He always seems to pick this book when I'm at my wits end and the book always reminds me how thankful I am for my little boys. So onto the sweet part...so as I'm reading the main part, I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always....John leans over and says it to Alan. My heart melted. He has soooo much love for his brother it amazes me. I was so worried that with him being such a mommas boy he would be jealous, but he rarely is. He always wants to hold, hug, snuggle, kiss, etc. on his brother. I am so thankful to have them both, even on days when I think my mommy tank is on empty!
