Faith has a new friend... Little Olivia. She was trying so hard to hug Olivia and poor Olivia just bright eyed can be didn't even cry. Faith kept grabbing Olivia and pulling her down with her so she could give a big hug. Everytime Olivia's dad would look at Faith, Faith would push his face away!

Today while talking with a woman, I learned that there are many women out there struggling. We are not alone! She had said how Satan will try to destroy the family and that was when it hit me that if Satan can destroy the mother the rest falls. You know how they say if the mom is in a bad mood everyone is? Well it's so true. If Satan can get the mother the whole corner stone of the family has fallen and soon the rest will fall. It made total sense to me. So if you are reading this and feeling alone, down, and just depressed, realize your never alone and your stronger then what is trying to get you down.

My kids love this show "Cricket on the hearth" It is a Charles dickens story. They sing and dance to it. In one part a man comes home from the war and tells his girlfriend how he missed his "darling" woman. Austin turns to me and says " Are you daddy's darling?" too cute!

Whu hoo, I am addicted to this thing. I got ten bottles of Kraft bbq sauce, three ketchup's, two mustard's, three Colgate toothpastes, & three packs of gum. For a whopping $3.02

While Driving home I saw a little AF carnival. I decided since Austin has never really been to Lagoon nor has he had any fun this summer much I let him ride a couple rides. IT was cute!! Then my phone died so I couldn't take pictures of him on the cutest monster truck ride. My eye was about dying from the sun so we didn't stay too long. All in all it was a good day.

In Memory

To those who love showing others great ideas, we have lost a great woman who showed us just that. Stacie Wolfley better known as "The Thrifty Chick" passed away from a stroke. She just had her youngest 14 days ago. HERE is her blog. Her sister has written some things for her on there. Rest in Peace I am sure many people who knew you directly and indirectly through the blog world, will miss you dearly. My heart goes out to her family and friends at this time.
You can find her obituary HERE

Today Faith is 11 months old! Man where did all the time go?! Last I remember it was December!! She has been one busy little bee. She loves to pull all my shoes out, sit and stare at all the food when I open the fridge. She loves watching "The Cricket in the Hearth". I taught her how to sign "Milk", "more", and she has learned to blow a kiss. She loves looking in my purse and pulling everything out. She loves to "help" with the dishes and adores her siblings!She does these cool little tricks with her tongue, and when she hears anything clicking, she clicks her tongue. She has learned to climb up the stairs. She has learned that she can climb .. ANYTHING!

Fourth of July Weekend ended with a BOOM! First we went to a friend's baptism. Then we went and had a BBQ at my sisters and played some badmitten. We then headed over to the crowded library to watch fireworks. Needless to say my son got lost and after about a half hour or so looking for him my brother in law found him at a church. We then let my son and daughter sleep over at grandmas house. I got a call the next day and my son was so sick. So here we are today, my baby, son, and I are not feeling too well... Ahh the joys of motherhood!

I stumbled across this blog LOVE, ACTUALLY from Craigslist.org!! How cute is it?! I love the "BOOT CAMP" one!! Check out my other blog "The Junk Box" for more on this and cute wedding gift ideas!
