Family ski trip

We took the kids to Angel Fire,NM to ski. They had a blast!  All the kids did a day of ski school.  It took William three days to get the hang of it and like it.  All the kids except Will ended up going on blues.  This was the most fun family vacation we have taken.  Charlotte was in the daycare and did great. Our only complaint was that Angel Fire has no night life and only a few places to eat. On our way home, we spent the night at Brian and Bethany's and watched Baylor get beat in the Fiesta Bowl.

Charlotte is six months

Thankfulness

What a wonderful time of year to reflect on our blessing.  Brad and I have been blessed beyond measures ( our children, family, health, and work).  I am trying trying to remind myself when there are little bumps in the road.. Ok, slight aggravations, that God has been so good to is.  We can't comtrol other people, we can only control ourselves.  

Vacation begins!

My vacation is here.  Brad is taking the next two weeks off!  I am so excited!   I get a break.  My mom said " you need to remember it is Brad's vacation too.  Of course I get that.  It is just nice to have help.  Will and I made his teacher's presents.  We got a frame from ikea for a dollar, a flower from hobby lobby for two and a half dollars and chalkboard paint. I am loving being a stay at home mom, especially since I now feel better.  Today my neighbor Carrie and I walked Charlotte to the park.  I then cleaned the house and played with Charlotte.  She is so cute but so spoiled... Rotten.. And it is 100 percent my fault. Brad went to Abbey 's violin concert on Tuesday.
