The A's of My Life: December 2010

My first born who introduced me to mommyhood 12 years ago. My heart has never been the same. Our Strawberry blonde, freckle adorned "ALL AMERICAN BOY" He is a clone of his father, a natural born leader, an amazing student, and a football and soccer extrordinaire. He loves to be outside, loves legos, lots of friends and video games. He loves being at youth group with friends, and tries so hard to be a good big brother and the oldest cousin. I am enjoying watching him blossom into a young man.

Aidan is our second born son and could not be more different than his big brother. He has blue eyes that could melt anyone and long eyelashes to match. He is our intense, passionate, wildly funny, petite boy. He is unbelievably social, knowing every detail about everyone, and tends to spend too much time talking at school. He is extremely smart, loves to play soccer, loves to act and sing and loves televsion, movies and the WII. He keeps our house laughing and I love him so!

Adam is our third born son and such a blessing. He is our sensitive, sweet, cuddly, family loving, baby brother. He loves drumming and music, roller coasters, the weather, trains, being outside, playing in the dirt and sand, riding his bike, and eating! He is not yet embarrassed by my kisses and hugs and still misses me while at school and I am relishing every moment of it.

Ainslie Kate is the little sister we all dreamed of and our family finale. She has gorgeous, big, blue eyes, long eyelashes and curly hair. Our life loving toddler adores her brothers, her blankie, pretties (otherwise known as necklaces)and torturing our poor cat. Mommy loves to dress her up and put big bows in her hair that she promptly rips out. We all adore her and thank God for her everyday!

Christmas Vignettes

Today I am linking up with Rhoda's Holiday Vignette Party. The great thing about all these parties is I am motivated to get the Christmas stuff up! I am making great progress!

I love Vignettes. I have lots of little accent tables in my house and I love to do displays on them!

First Because Jesus is the reason for the SEASON in my home..a Nativity Scene

I love this Nativity set I purchased from Kirkland's last year. It is very soft and understated and just beautiful!

The snow scene was created with items from the Dollar Store. They have some great Christmas stuff this year I think!

My next Vignette is on an entry Hall table

Next The Buffet in the Dining Room

And Finally another Entry HAll table and my kids favorite!

GO LINK UP friends! Dying to see everyones Christmas displays!

Okay his name does not start with "A" but he is my awesome partner in this journey we call life. He stole my heart in college almost 17 years ago and still has it. He is wildly social and seems to know everyone. He is an amazing father, finacial provider and spiritual leader of our family. He is leader in many ways, a coach to many young kids, an uncle, a brother, and an amazing friend. I count myself lucky to be his wife everday and although our marriage is far from perfect, I love him deeply and I am committed to him forever.

First and Foremost I am a daughter of the King. I strive everyday to live a life worthy of him and the many blessings he gives me although I fall short most days and I am always thankful for his grace and the gift of another day. I am a proud stay at mommy ( was an RN in my pre-mommy life) to 3 handsome princes and a sweet princess. All of their names begin with the letter A and they are the A's of my life. I love my Jesus, snuggling with my hubby, being a mommy, college football, watching my boys play any sport, shopping, Mexican food, cooking, the great outdoors, fashion, decorating my home, gardening, worship music, Beth Moore, Joyce Meyer, and reading magazines.
