25 Days of Joy - Day 7

It brings me JOY to know that I can worship my Savior Jesus Christ in this FREE country. I'm not forced to believe in something I do not. I do not have to hide my religion. And I can teach my children about God.

It brings JOY to my heart that my daughter is now saved and asked Jesus Christ into her heart this summer =) Here's her getting baptized June 30, 2010.

25 Days of Joy - Day 4

My best friend, love of my life, and husband of 5 years....Joe! Gosh I love this man! I always thought it was corny to say "my other half" but seriously he completes me and I could not do it without him by my side! He puts up with my mood swings and still loves me HA HA! He will do sweet little things randomly like dishes and laundry and even stop and get flowers w/out any special occasion. So of course he brings me JOY!

25 Days of Joy - Day 3

Alli Jo, where do I even start. You are such a character! You are at the age where you're learning so many new things. You want to repeat everything ANYONE says, and you try so hard to get it right! Last night sissy was pretending she had a big belly and said, "Look at my big belly!" And you out of nowhere said, "Look how belly my big is!" BAHAHA You crack us up, and seriously have momma laughing so hard that I cry! LOL

You're also the "little mommy" around the house. Even the "little wife" because you tell your daddy what to do HA HA! I love you Alli Jo, you bring tons of Joy to my life!!

Look at how much you grew in just 1 year!

25 Days of Joy - Day 2

Oh Hunter, you bring so much joy and laughter to our family! You have set such a great example for your younger sisters. I could not ask more of you, you do amazing work at school and at home. Although we tend to butt heads a lot, it’s only because we’re so much alike =) You’ll always be my first born , the one that helped me grow up, the one that taught me how to LOVE …love you Boo Boo!

25 Days of Joy - Day 1

I'm so loving all the bloggers posting 25 days of joy! Posting 1 picture a day of things that bring you joy =)

Here is my little Stella Belle. She is one of the sweetest joys of my life! I don't believe there has been a day since she was born that she didn't make me smile. She is going to turn 1 next month and she has such her own personality, it cracks us up. When she doesn't get her way, she will pound her hands on whatever she can find...her highchair, the floor, a wall!! Ha Ha She loves her sisters VERY much, infact MUST be in the same room with at least one of them at all times! She cannot wait until Daddy walks through the door from work, her face just lights up and she starts yelling, "Da Da Da!!" And of course there's no bond like mother and daughter. She loves to snuggle with me and dig her body into mine like she's trying to get back inside LOL She loves to look right up at me, grin with her 6 teefers showing and then give momma an eskimo kiss =)

She's a keeper, that's for sure!
