Finally My Thanksgiving Post!!

Finally my Thanksgiving Post!!

Every other year we spend Thanksgiving with Donnie's side of the family. I love it!! My in-laws home gets filled up with LOTS of kids (mostly ours) and LOTS of big kids. Here are some pictures we snapped of our special day. I will put descriptions at the bottom of most pictures. Sit back and enjoy.

The post that will come soon is my birthday post! When I get to it, I will tell you how I spent celebrating my 39th birthday! I still feel like I am in my 20's. Guess the children keep me young! I love my life!!

Ok here it goes:

My In laws: Donnie and Chris

Yep, you read this right! They are also named Donnie and Chris (they are the originals...ha ha ha). It gets a bit confusing when we all gather together, but usually they are called Pops and Mema by most of us. It get confusing when others are calling out our names and then we both answer "Yes?"

Me and my Babe-Donnie!!

I love this man! What a gift in my life!



Donnie and his youngest brother, Bobby.
(Donnie's face cracks me up! He looks like he had to much to "drink". And he doesn't drink! )
Bobby is such a sweet, sweet man. He is so loving and caring for everyone. I don't think he would ever hurt anyone. Well, maybe, if they hurt his family! :)

My sister in law, Melissa
She is married to Donnie's brother Bobby in the above picture. She is also such a wonderful person. They've been married since 1999 and have two boys, Ethan and Colton. Yep, she so wants another baby--a girl of course! I am hoping she will have one soon.


Ethan 6 yrs old.
He is Bobby and Melissa's first born.
Isn't he such a blondie! He is cute!


Colton, 4yrs old
Bobby and Melissa's youngest son.
Look at this face! He is so adorable. He can be a firecracker at times. But then again he is ALL boy. He is a sweety also. He'll come up and give such good sugar. Too cute!

Tim and and fiance, Melanie
Tim is Donnie's middle brother, who recently proposed to his girlfriend of 2 yrs.
I've been telling Melanie she needs to set a date and not procrastinate.
Let the wedding bells ring!!
Tim has two sweet boys, Nathan and Andy.


Nathan, 8yrs old
This is Tim's oldest son.
He is such a nice kid! Very smart! This is Shiloh's buddy!

Andy, 5 yrs old
Tim's second born son.
He is such a cutie and quite shy. I don't think he's ever said a word to me.
I know he talks...I've heard him :)


Now for my the sweethearts in my life!

I know!! He doesn't look so sweet does he? Donnie is such a riot.
He makes me laugh so hard. Moriah took this picture of him.

Justin 15 1/2 yrs old
He is almost as tall as his daddy. Towering a 6'!
You should see him next to my 5'1 stature! LOL!

Tsavah (10) and Moriah (12)!
My beauty queens! These girls are absolutely gorgeous!
I don't just say this because they're my daughters. They are beautiful! They are told all the time.

Shiloh, 7 yrs. old
Yes, this is my latino looking boy!
He definitely takes after my hispanic side.
CUTE!

Mr. President Galen, 5yrs. old!
All he needs is a suit and briefcase.
Seriously!

Kole the 3yr old who will be 4 in January!
He's my boy right now. He follows me everywhere!

Ephraim, 2, my hunk of love!
We call him Ephee for short.
Isn't he such a cutie! I love his eyes. I think he looks alot like his daddy.

SILLY BOY!

The little princess, Ana!
She is 10 months old now. Can you believe it?! She is everywhere. She isn't very big. I think she must weigh all but 16 pounds. She is tiny!

I love this picture!

Here are some random pictures I took. There are many, many more that I took but couldn't find on my camera. Too bad.


The boy table!


Ana playing with all the toys.
There are no girl toys to play with at Mema's since there are so many boys in the family. The grandkids make up of 3 girls and 9 boys!

Yummy pie!

Johnny and Christie, friends of the family!

Great update, great pics, great family. And I love that you and your in laws share names. How cute is that?!!

Ana is such a cutie. My Isabella is a little one, too. All my babies were lean and long their first year. Must be the genes from our 'otha motha'.

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

My heart is sad...

Last night a local family in our small town lost 5 of their children to a house fire.  This was just down the road from where we are currently living.  My heart totally aches for this family.  I don't know much about them other than what I have heard from the new reports.  I am assuming she was a single mother because there was no mention of a father in the home.  I think it said she was staying with her mother (the children's grandmother) and her younger sister (the children's aunt--a 21 yr. old) My husband was driving home from work late last night when he saw police cars speeding by.  All he could do was pray not knowing there was a family being lost to a fire that very moment.   We didn't find out what happened until this morning.  From what I read was that they think the space heater caused the fire.  The home was an older wood-framed house probably without central heating.  The mothe...

A Very Quick Update on the Move

Hey All... Here's a quick update on what's been going on since my last post.  Well....we are moved in for the most part.  I still need to go back to the old house and clean, clean, clean.   Lots of cleaning... I wish I had the pictures to show you how much of a mess we all made while living there for 4 years.   Those pictures will have to wait for another post. I was also thinkin'... Boy how much STUFF do 10 people need.   I don't see myself as a clutter-bug...pack rat... I am always ridding my house of stuff.... Actually, to much stuff makes me hyper-ventilate.  I've been having a bit of moving anxiety lately.   I get these waves of panic.  Thank God they don't last long.   Oh...and please don't worry about me... I am not depressed or having panic attacks.  :) but you can pray though I think it's a mixture of the normal moving blues mixed with hormones of an almost 40 year old.   Gosh... c...
