Happy New Year!










Happy Birthday Grandma!








Dear Grams

Words can not say how much I am thankful for you today, and every day.

The time we have been able to spend together, the long phone calls, the hugs, cards, gifts, prayers, and unconditional love. God knew hen I was born, that he would show his love through you. You are truly a soul I admire, your forgiveness, love and devotion for each and every family member, your thoughtfulness of every occasion and holiday. As I reflect this day of you and what a blessing you are in my life, I see God and his love for us.

I am so blessed to have you for all these years and never do i want to take for granit the time I have with you here on this earth. Never once have you let me down or made me feel unwanted. I have always known I can count on you for anything.

Today is your Birthday, and I want to tell you what is on my heart as I thank God for another year to have you in my life.

May God bless us with more years together.


Poem To You


I just want to let you know You mean the world to me Only a heart as dear as yours Would give so unselfishly
The many things you've done All the times you were there Help me know deep down inside How much you really care
Even though I might not say I apreciate all you do Richly blessed is how I feel Having a grandmother just like you
With All My Love,
Brandie

We must love and serve others because it is right and because we love God Himself,
not because love gets us something that we want.

Baaawaaa



It seems as though my sinus issues are back again....baaawaaa. The headaches are icky.
I am getting by with medicine so that's a blessing :) Poor dh has had a toothache for 3 days. Finding a dental office open during the holidays is next to impossible. I am going to call first thing Monday morning to see if I can get him in.

We went to town today to get Mariyah. Blake has been really missing her, it's been 3 weeks since we have had her over.

Ohhh ~ it is so nice...the snow is finally melting, and hopefully will continue to do so! Our neighbor plowed the driveway today so we were able to take the van.

God Is Good!



I know the title becomes redundant, but I really am just so thankful today for His love. This Christmas was different then any other Christmas. I tend to just get stressed getting ready for the Holiday season, but I had a joy that was NEW this Christmas. Praise God!

We made all our gifts for the grandparents and had such a great time doing it together :)

Christmas Eve we gathered together, and my my dear hubby ready the Christmas story.......it truly was such a blessing! This was a first for ALL of us as a family to do. The kids were very exited that daddy was reading it to us this year!

Blake enjoyed all the baking and crafts we did. Austen has been enjoying being outside with dad and spending good quality time together. It has been nice to have him at for the week.
Last night we spent at my MIL's house having Christmas dinner. The kiddos got to open their gifts and play with their cousins.

What a BLESSING this Holiday has been. Thank You Jesus!!!!

Tuesday's Quote



A child of God should be a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.

Tuesday's ramblings :)






Good afternoon..........friends
Are ya' all ready for Christmas?


Well we finally were able to get out yesterday and get a few things. I have tons to do today. We ended up chaining up on the way back home so we could get into our driveway.


Wayne will be off now for 6 days :)

He has spent most of the morning doing some deep cleaning. He is always going, going, going.....wears me out when he is home, but I love it!


We will be staying home Christmas Eve and then Christmas day we are going over to my MIL's for a traditional Prime Rib dinner. The kids are very exited, they have been playing outside most of the morning, and afternoon. I sure miss church! I can't wait to be back into the regular schedule to tell you the truth.


Well I'd better go plop another load of laundry in and get the kiddos some lunch.

Blessings to All,

Brandie

A Look Out Our Window :)




It was a delight to see our deer back. They have been eating off of the apple tree.
We have more snow. We are up to 15in, and more is falling. The weather has been reeking havoc on transportation! We took Austen to town to go with his friends to have a airsoft war yesterday. Wayne just left to go and pick up Austen in town. It is a good thing Wayne can drive well in it, but most of these people have no experience driving in snow. The weather is calling for freezing rain. We did get some ice last night. I never have seen snow like this here in the NW.

Happy Snow,
Brandie
