Happy 6th Birthday, Jeffrey!

Happy 6th Birthday to my wonderful, loving and handsome little boy!

I love you more than words can ever express!  I remember the day you were born, you were so small and I was so scared! 

But that moment I knew my life had changed forever, I am now and forever a "Mom". I couldn't

be more proud of the fact that I was your Mom and you were my little boy, I take that responsibility very seriously! 

Every year you grow leaps and bounds and show what an amazing boy God had destined you to be.  I know He has such wonderful plans for you, Jeffrey, and you will be an inspiration to others.  Your kind and sweet heart is seen by all around you and it makes me teary eyed just

thinking of how sweet it is you are.  You are not only the best son I could ever have hoped for, you are one awesome big brother! You are such a good protector for your little sisters, and it makes me so proud when I overhear you teaching them right from wrong in every day situations. 

I cannot believe how fast you are growing, it almost just seems not fair. The days feel like minutes...and now look! Before I knew it you are now SIX years old and going into Kindergarten in a few short weeks. You are getting so tall and more grown up every day, but I relish in the fact that you still let me hug and kiss you all I want. I hope that never changes! (:

When you read this when your grown up I want you to remember several things that I deem important.

All things are possible through God.

Always treat others how you want to be treated.

You can't change some bad situations but you can always change how you react to them.

 Being angry never changes the person you are mad at, it only consumes you.

 Love with all your heart because you never know what tomorrow brings.

And last but not least, when in doubt always pray, and call your mother everyday! 

I love you Jeffrey Kenneth SO MUCH!

LOST HIS FRONT TOOTH 2 DAYS BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY (:

Audrey Claire 10 months old!

I can hardly believe how fast this year has flown by! This sweet princess of mine is so sweet and cute I can hardly stand it! (:
Audrey, you are crawling everywhere and I mean...EVERYWHERE! Your favorite place to crawl is in the bathroom downstairs, probably because you get a kick out of Mommy running after you saying, "Nooo, Audrey...germs!!!"  (;
You love watching your brother and sister play and run around and I can tell you are waiting for the day to be able to run after them and join in on the fun. You say "Da Da" all day long, but have not yet said "Ma Ma". I am awaiting for the day to hear you say my name, it will be a joyous day! (:

You are such a happy girl and you make everyone smile that you meet. I couldn't have prayed for a more wonderful little girl and am so blessed that God chose me to be your Mommy.

I love you, Audrey!

Happy 7 months, Audrey!

Monster Corn Dog Muffins

Made these cute little corn dog muffins for the kids lunch today. Super easy, just mix up your favorite corn muffin recipe, and then pour batter into muffin tin (half full) and cut hot dogs (I use Hebrew National) into segments and place into the batter longways. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. (more or less depending on your oven)

They come out looking like funny mouths, and you can make the faces however you want by decorating with condiments, ect. (:
The eyes are Wilton candy eyes you can get by cupcake decorating section in the store. (:
