La Te De Da Da Da... Breaking it down in 2011

Today was Kaidin’s School Holliday Performance. OH SO CUTE to see all of the kids so well behaved, dressed so cute and singing there little hearts out! They did so well, it was awesome. He had so much fun with his class and friends and was so happy we were there to watch him. I wish I could push a button to make him stay small; he is growing up so fast.  We love you little man and are so very proud of you! xo

IiMIN love weth you...

Ummm... So Kaidin came home with this in his backpack today from
a cute little girl named Ashley that is in his class
he always talks about her but I have never really put 2 + 2 together...
this is his first "secret note" and remember he is only 5, I see long years ahead...
So of course being the great mom I am I posted on my facebook and received this back from his mom…LOL I'm dying! This girl "fell in love" with Grant last week and has been passing love notes back and forth with Nate a few times. My husband is going to have a HEART ATTACK! We were not prepared for this at 5!!

AND then being the AWESOME mom that I am I am posting all of this to our blog so that when he is older I can show him our printed blog book and hopefully use it against him… ha ha I kid I kid… Love you little man…

Shes Crafty = Reason, Season, or Lifetime

Tonight was my “Shes Crafty” Party and it was so much fun. Most of all getting to hang out, giggle, eat, drink, talk, be silly, crafty and watch everyone leave with some super cute stuff they made. I was cleaning up after the party thinking about how blessed I am to have such great friends in my life. I may not get to see them all of the time but the moments I spend with them are the best. I heart you all!

PS: (SORRY for the “fuzzy” pictures, it was my camera phone and they were the ONLY ones I had from the night)

Reason, Season, or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.When you figure out which one it is,you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.They have come to assist you through a difficulty;to provide you with guidance and support;to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.They may seem like a godsend, and they are.They are there for the reason you need them to be.Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.They may teach you something you have never done.They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

"Teacher" Christmas Gift Ribbon Door Wreath

Today I made Kaidin's (my son) Teacher her Christmas gift. He wanted to get or make her something “amazing” (his words). I heart these ribbon wreaths and so we picked out some teacher ribbon and matching funky colors and whipped this up today. It was finished when he came home from school. He was so happy and loves it. He said he hopes his teacher loves it just as much as he does. I love his BIG heart!
