searching
this week has been SUPER emotional for me. i seriously feel like i have felt every emotion possible x's 100. happy, ecstatic, giddy, sad, hurt, mad, jealous, loved, hated, appreciated, unappreciated....and the list goes on and on.  i have had many, many different thoughts rolling around in my head as well.  sometimes i feel like everything is going along really well and then some days or weeks  life seems to not be  going along good at all. sometimes i'm very happy and content with life and then other times i'm not content at all. i know everyone goes through this and it is a natural part of life its just extra in my face this week.  i love being a mom and wife but sometimes i feel like there is SO much more to me that i'm not  tapping into. i so desperately want to tap into that person.  I was "ME" before i became a daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother. i guess im just going through a period where i have to find myself a-gain. i  have layers and layers that i have to uncover and peel away at different times and periods of my life. i will continue to keep looking and searching and loving myself and picking myself up and brushing myself off through this journey.  i  have to learn to be more patient with myself and more patient with life's eb's and flows.

a sweet day

regan had the day off so he started valentines off right by making the kids the  traditional pink, heart shaped pancakes.

my gift to everyone was homemade hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries.

regan gave me flowers and new headphones cause i caught my old ones on fire.

yeah, you read that right..on fire while having a candlelit bath while listening to my ipod. the cord caught on fire....it about gave me a heart attack... i know, pretty dumb move on my part.

 i promised him that i wouldn't do that again...ever!!!

this time i wont put the candles by my head

live and learn as i always say

living with me is such an adventure :)

happy valentines day regan

i wub you!!!

mighty hunter

regan took the lils over to the pasture this week so that juju could ride the horses

 and mckray could shoot his bb gun.

mckray ask if he could shoot a bird and regan said yes

but all the while thinking that he prolly wouldn't get one

well , he was wrong

 he shot one and was pretty proud of himself.

as a mother

i am not a fan of hunting or killing or shooting things for recreation.

and i want to teach my kids to respect nature

so i talked to him about my feeling of only killing animals that you will eat.

blah... blah... blah... im pretty sure is all he heard.:)

i said my peace, so now i guess he will have to make up his own mind about hunting. 

 love this cute lil boy

even if he does

kill cute lil birds.

the end

is it summer yet?

i miss the lazy days of  summer

i miss the sunshine

i miss having sun kissed skin

instead of my now pasty white skin

i miss flip flops

i miss playing in the water

i miss paddling my canoe

i miss camp fires

i miss hiking

i miss camping

i miss being excited to go outside and play all day long

i miss long summer nights

i am happy to say goodbye to yucky january

and say hello

to one day closer to summer!!!!!
