LONG TIME

Hello out there!

I know I know its been forever!!!!!!!!! I didn't even look to seen when my last blog was... oh well, life goes on.

Now that I had another birthday pass, and on to 33 I go... WOW!! I'm getting old! The birthday was good and celebrated it with close friends a week later, a good time! Thank you all for joining us for the night!

What's new in Lis Lis's world. Well this week Jer is off to San Fran until Saturday am. Boys are well!! Growing but well! I've been BUSY BUSY working at Tammy's when I can, decorating at home for Christmas now, I helped a lot with the family that lost their home due to a fire, trying to get Christmas shopping done here and there... I'm not even close to being done :( but its ok... maybe Jer will just do it all this year :)

This week though I have been batting a head cold... very bad sore throat. I should probably see a doctor if I'm not feeling better by the end of the week... we'll see.

Blade officially knows his ABC's now, he said the whole thing tonight I was SO proud of him! He can also count to 20.
He is still not a morning person... so its a struggle to get him to school on time, but thats o.k. since he has his whole life of school coming for awhile. Mitchel and Issac are dying to get to sundown this weekend... maybe there will be snow and maybe not...

Tis the season!! Got your trees up? Oh I'm on a good path... got all the trees up in the bedrooms and done :) working on main floor right now, think I have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, still working on 8... so by the time I am done I may have 13-15 trees up both big and small throughout the house. Much more than last year and I am excited for it... but ghad... lots of WORK and thinking :) but its worth it! If the addition gets done soon... maybe there will be a tree out there... who knows at this point. Its the time to be festi', right??? Need to work on getting the kids tree up in the with all their ornaments that they have collected over the years... just need to figure out where that tree will go???

Well, its time for me to close, I will post again soon...

My Heart Seriously Aches!

Well first and for most, I'm feeling very sad, hurt and completely lost of words for a family today.

This particular family is fairly close to our family through my neice and through our 1st Cascade soccer league this past fall. They lost their home this a.m. due to a fire, gone and nothing left except for the clothing on their backs. For all of my readers please PRAY for them, if you have anything you would like to contribute wether it be a peice of furniture, toiletries, kitchen items, groceries, a cash donation, gift cards, ANYTHING! would be helpful for this family to get back on their feet.

I'm not going to blog a whole lot in this entry because I am just lost for words, I just seriously ache for this family.
I will never forget calling my sister and the feeling I got when she told me and I am still sick to my stomach. Truely awakes your whole perspective on everyday living and those you are surrounded by each day.

Make sure you are telling your children, loved ones everyday how much you love them!

Love you all!!
