Loosing Sight....

So the last couple of months I have been trying to work extra hard and earn extra money so that we can pay off some debt that we have. I know you all know how much of a burden debt can be. Today I asked my mom about a little boys funeral that was yesterday that we knew, and as she told me about it I couldn't help but cry. How could I be so selfish worrying about money, that in a sense I am ingnoring my kids. We only have a few short years with our children and family is sooo important. The last few days my wonderful husband, has been saying to his overly stressed wife..."I am so grateful to have a wife like you who is willing to be a mom!", and I sit there and think "yeah right", but I am not a very good one. Though I have had another of may reality checks. My children are precious to me, and I feel that I am missing so much time to spend with them. So today I am making a goal to stop working at 3 so that I can spend more time with my kids, some quality mommy time! I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for my sweet children, and what they teach me.... I hope that I can keep that perspective, and not forget the hugs along the way!

Halloween Costumes AND New Christmas Clothes

Okay I know I am late posting these costumes. I was remined today that is was a week and still no posting of the halloween costumes. So Ty-kell went as Little Boy Blue not a pioneer. And Amea went as Little Bo Peep. The Saturday before Halloween we went to the zoo's celebration.

The kids were able to go Trick-or-Treating at the zoo, and see some of the animals. My kids love watching the penguins. So we took pictures with the dry penguins. We didn't get many pictures, because the zoo was crazier then Disneyland.

The kids had a ton of fun. I was a little disappointed because we missed the costume contest.

My mom sends money for Christmas clothes each year, and this year I just love their Christmas clothes. I know it is not even december, but I wanted the kids to wear them more then 2 months.

They were being cheeseballs right before church, I guess that is what you get when you get another hour before church!
