Miracle League of Central Illinois

Had a wonderful time at Autumns miracle league game yesterday. Austin is a good buddy and loves helping his sister.

Crazy last few days!!!

The weather here has been NASTY!! Rainy, cold, windy.... Seems like Spring will never get here and STAY here...

One of my hedgies, Hope, decided that she was going to go on an adventure... After several days, she has been found... she's cold, hungry and thirsty... but alive!!! I just hope I found her in time!

Now, watching Castle from lastnight on DVR, then Bones.... then get the kids to bed.

Ugh...

Good Evening!!!!

Well... this has def been an interesting day! Rain all day... nasty out. We dont need more rain for cryin out loud!

Brian is in the barn feeding... Cody is working on his Spanish project (that was due TODAY!) and Austin is running around in the rain!

UGH... kids

Good Monday Morning!!!

Well... it's another rainy day here in Central IL. Looks to be about 52 degrees out, cloudy and rain.. like we need more right now. Kids are all off to school and I am enjoying some ME time before getting started on house work.

Hubby is at work, and has already emailed me 4 times this morning telling me he loves me :)

Today is a great day

Love one another with all your heart.. be all you can be for them and they will be all they can be for you.

One of those days....

L-R -- Austin (11), Autumn (8), and Cody (14)

It's days like these that make me love my family even more!! My son, Austin, informed me that I was "the coolest mom ever" for taking him to see Hello Destroyer on Friday. My son, Cody, told me that while I embarrass him in front of girls, he's glad I am his mom cuz the other kids think I'm cool. And my daughter, Autumn.... Well.. today... she came over to me, grabbed my hand, kissed my cheek and says "Mommy, I loves you!" I Love days like these...

We spent our Easter weekend hanging with friends and those in the extended family. You know, we all have them... friends that have been through more with us that our own family... friends of our children that might as well be ours because they're here more than I am. 

My wonderful husband got me the most adorable card ever!! It says,

"For the one I love at Easter and always,

The world becomes so beautiful when spring is in the air, and Easter brings God's promise that I'm grateful that we share. but any time of year, I know whatever life may bring, I'll always need your love and you, to me, you're everything... Happy Easter Love, Brian"

I have never cried before after getting a card.. so let me tell you this.. even though I'm a cold hearted bitch most days.. I do have a heart and LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

Well, time to get the kids ready for bed and school in the morning... Love to all XOXO

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter from all of us here on the farm!
