The Reason I'm Here

Sometimes I wonder why I even came here. Things happen that get me so stressed out that I make myself sick. Some times I miss home so much that I can't help but cry. So when all this stuff happens I think to myself why did I even come here? Well last friday I got my answer. I had been having a bad day, not only would Sebastian not go down for a nap but R.J. decided to make it better by spilling his drink all over the floor, himself, and his untouched food!! Andrew and Bella came home from school and as usual I got them started on there homework then started to get a snack ready. Adrew starts going through his bag and tells me that they had there Valentines Party that day and they each got a kit to make a candy necklace for there mom's for Valentines Day. He pulls out the necklace and tells me that he made it just for me and that he loves me and never wants me to leave. I just about started to cry, and gave him a big hug. He doesn't even how how much he made my day by doing that. But I came to realize that no matter how down things get, the little moments like that are the real reason I'm here and they make me So Glad that I decided to do this. These kids are the best and they have each taken a place in my heart.

This is me wearing the candy neklace.
Bella also made me a card that I thought was so cute. She's very good at drawing and is always making me pictures. When she brings home pictures from school she asks me to keep them because her parents will just throw them away. So I do because it makes her happy that someone cares about her drawings.

The girl in blue is me and the girl in pink is Bella. I love what she wrote it's So Sweet!!

Valentine's Day

Since Sunday was Valentine's Day, we had a party for FHE on Monday. We each made our own little Valentine boxes just like in Elementary, then we put candy in each others. Some people really got into it and brought little Valentine cards. I think I got some princess fairy, and toy story cards. It made me feel like I was a little kid again. :)

This is my lovely box that i spent all of 5 min. on. Some people really got into there boxes.


This is the AWSOME Valentine that my mom sent me!! I was SO happy to get it!!

Fun In The Snow!!

With all the snow we've been getting I figured playing in it was the only thing I could do to get me to like it again. It was fun playing in it but I still wish it would go away. We are getting more tonight so I'm probably going to have to go out and play in it again.

Bella sneaking up behind me.......

.. and getting me with a Giant snowball!!

This shows how deep the snow is, and I wasn't even touching the ground yet!!
I LOVE Bella's face in this one!!


Group Hug!!
They dared me too, then they couldn't stop laughing!!

SLEDDING FUN!!

Missing Tooth

Bella lost her third tooth thursday morning before school. She was so excited, it's been loose for 4 days and she couldn't wait for it to come out. Expecially since she just saw the movie Tooth Fairy, she wanted to see the toothfairy. If Dwayne Johnson was really the toothfairy I would be knocking out my teeth too. :)


She also got a new pair of shoes last week that she absolutely LOVES!! They are very sparkly and they light up. She thinks they are the coolest thing ever!!
