Where does the time go?

January 27th, 2008 the day Titus came home from the hospital.  He was born on January 24th weighing in at 8lbs 3 oz.  He was our little boy and Aspen was now a big sister! 

January 24th 2009 - Wow!  This is the day our son turned 1 year!  That first year went by so fast...filled with many ups and downs, but we had so much fun! 

You and your big sis!  You turn 2 in just a few days on January 24th 2010, and you now say "I'm 2" when people ask you.  You are so proud when you say that and we are so proud of you when you say it!  You are talking so much now and we just love hearing all of the words you are learning....here are some things you love to do at the age of 2:

Read books

Go to the library

Read books

Did I mention read books?

You love to color, especially with markers (so thankful for Color Wonder)

Laughing

Watching Go Fish (Amanada, Titus watches the DVD's at least once a day, we may need to get new ones from you because ours are very scratched)

Play with your sister

Build with Lego's

Point out every car, truck, bus, train that you see when we are in the car

Dancing and learning songs

and finally...

You love prayer time during each meal, especially when you get to say AMEN!  at the end!

Thank you Jesus for blessing us with Titus in our lives! 

What a great Sunday!

Today was such a great day!

Even though my daughter woke me up at 6 AM this morning, it was still a great day!

Even though it was cold outside, it was still a great day!

Today is Sunday!

I love Sunday!  And this Sunday was the BEST in particular because I was reminded of something so great in church today during the Pastor's message!

Being CONTENT in a DISCONTENTED world!

To be content?  Wow!  This is something that I struggle with on a daily basis.  What a great reminder this morning that everything that I have now will not go with me when I go to Heaven...all the material posessions, nope...they stay here!

Just when I think I have all that I need...I desire more...but why?  It is just what society pushes us to do when honestly I have my family, my house, clothes, food...so why I am I not content?  Why do I always feel the need to compare myself, to desire more? 

I need to be CONTENT!

That is my challenge for 2010...to be CONTENT!

Thankful for that reminder today...hope I can continue to remember that daily!

Another reason why I had so much fun today...

I hosted a baby shower along with my friend Erica!  I haven't hosted a baby shower at my house before and so it was very exciting!  I borrowed the table settings from my mother in law and the 9 of us girls sat at the table and enjoyed wonderful food and fellowship!  We had a great spread!

The menu:

Cowboy Salsa

Cheese, Meat, and Crackers

Fruit Salad

Pasta Salad

Bon Bons

Sugar Cookie Lollipops

Sparkling Cider/Water/Coffee

After wonderful food, lots of laughs, and great conversation...

It was game time...where we shared more stories, laughs, and great conversation!

Onto gifts...Nicki got some great things for her baby girl (who will be born in Feb) we are all so excited as this is her and Jon's first baby!  How exciting!  We ended with prayer and it was just a great time!

After the shower my wonderful husband (who took the kiddos to Underwater World during the baby shower) and our kids came home and we enjoyed dinner, play time, and laughs.  What a great way to end the day!

Now the kids are in bed...I am finally updating my blog and it is just a great day!
