Thursday's with Tiffiny

I'm thankful for...Jesus...How he dies on the cross for us....His grace and mercy are new each morning..


I'm listening to...The washer spinning out of control...maybe I should check on it..or maybe not.

In the oven...

green Bean casserole and hash brown bake! YUMMY

What's for dinner tonight....Ham at my moms!! and all the fixings!

What I'm looking forward to...Tomorrow morning..Carter's first Christmas..Olivia's big eyes and her never ending talking about how it is Jesus birthday and on her birthday she wants a pink Christmas tree. Matthew and Mikey and the simple joys of teaching our children why we celebrate.

What's happening this week....

I will be enjoying all my family!!
Bills are paid, food in the fridge and heat is on!

I am missing...Nothing...I seem to have it all right here..well except that darn Boy Scout shirt!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours...May your day and night Be filled with our saviors LoVe!!

...I just wanted to share that this year I have really learned to SIMPLIFY...I am sure most of you have seen the word or have a picture of it on your wall..but it wasn't till last year that I was on bed rest and unable to go to town not once that Christmas was going to be okay. The laughter that filled our home making homemade goodies was more precious then presents...So I carried it to this year..no panic and everything I have can't possibly fit under some tree..

Little miss sunshine...

Snow Fun

Matthew being the all boy he is decided to take Olivia's Barbie car on joy ride in the snow. He made a video calling it " Barbies gone wild" but I need him here to show me how to post it..He took Olivia on a walk to play in the snow...

Tweens....

after much consideration and rule setting we allowed Matthew to join a networking sight. He attempts to find the right profile picture...

Sucker....

Carter has a double ear infection, asthma and is cutting his 2 top teeth...life here has not been easy. Anything I Can do to buy a few minutes of time to clean or do something productive I will take it...Matthew had a sucker and he was watching Carter in the tub for me..Matthew told me to come in and see this...Carter was not about to give up the sucker that Matthew let him "taste"...would you give up a chocolate Mrs. See's sucker!?

Crafty Cabin fever...

What do you do when you have been in the house for 8 days!?! make messes, stay in your cozy clothes, eat, cook, laundry, and crafts!!

I love the Dollar Tree store for the simple reason I can plunk down 10 bucks and have a ton of activities for Olivia that involve no glue and no scissors...I am not the crafty kind if girl...nope not me...so when I saw that you can actually get a princess crown (3pack) I was so happy!! Olivia thought I was the best mom in the world and that is all that matters!

Montanna ( my niece) was here spending the night with us for a few days and even she got into the fun!







Her poses are getting more sophisticated everyday...she really believes she is RoCKsTaR!!

Pickles and Colds...

Carter LOVES pickle! He also has not been feeling well...so we pulled out his baby car seat, buckled him in and had him sleep next to us...he slept better but not solid and didn't seem to mind being strapped in. It was better then him trying to sleep laying down.

Take me some where warm....

I think we all want to be somewhere warm...Here is a picture of us back in October at the beach in California...that was the trip with no kiddos...AWW...I want to go back!!

Thursday's With Tiffiny

I'm thankful for...My hard working husband who does not complain about working in this weather. Who bundles up in 3 layers to deliver goods to farms. Who is always thinking if us everyday. He is one of the most unselfish guys I know. Thanks Baby!!

I'm listening to...Little bear and Carter attacking Olivia on the ground.

In the oven...

Maybe just maybe cupcakes!!

What's for dinner tonight....Soup...not sure what kind but I am perfecting all kinds of soups!! YuMMy!

What I'm looking forward to...Finishing up shopping...Have only went once..Yikes! finding a sitter for the kids seems to be impossible and I am picky so that combination is not good.

What's happening this week....

Here is to another week of this!!

I need to finish shopping and wrapping , yelling at my kids to pick-up, vegging out on the couch to the season finale of Biggest Loser, washing laundry, scrubbing toilets, removing permanent marker from something., windexing the bathroom mirror after some little princess has to kiss it with her chap stick on...cleaning out my van, washing the dog, mopping my floors, paying bills, going to the grocery store at least 2 times, pouting because nobody cleans up after themselves, telling every single person who live with me I am going on strike, fighting with my little ones to go to bed...wheeww...I am sure I could go on but i know you get the idea!

celebrating the birth of Jesus!!

I am missing...This week would have to be Cher...after 10 years and many talks along with ups and downs...I wish she would move back but I support you Cher!!

I would love to see what your Thursday's bring!!

Family & Cookies

Sunday we went to my Mom Timmers for a cookie making party! She has the perfect house for all of us to gather and does such a wonderful job of decorating her home to make us all feel welcome. She had made so many goodies prior to us arriving. We all brought cookies either made or to be made. We got to bring some home to our families. Mine are already gone! To feed this family I would need to go to about 5 cookie exchanges.
