Wow!
Last night I got a call from my mom. My troubled brother has been kicked out of the house he was staying at. He has not made the best decisions in his life, but the kid can't catch a break. He has pretty much lived on someones couch since he was 15, moving around from place to place. Now I know that if someone needs their life to change they must put forth the effort, but what if you don't see light at the end of the tunnel? Last year he found our baby brother dead in his bed, and that seems to have thrown him for another loop. I want to help and this is when I decide, God has been preparing me my whole life to be a mom. I am the one that my immediate family, with the exception of my older brother, calls when they have a problem. Now that i have excepted this, it is time to put all my effort into motherhood!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday!
I was a bit busy this week but somehow found the time to hunt down some pics.
1. canned food
My one year old loves to get into the pantry so this pic was easy to get.
2. chocolate
Chocolate doesn't last long in my house!
3. numbers
I took this on our family weekend adventure.
4. stack
one of my daughters many toys, she loves these that stack.
5. music
This came out of my archives. In November I helped put together a benefit for a local girl with MS. This is a Texas Country Band, The Clint Levi Band. If you ever get a chance to look them up they were very good.
Benefits
With my first two daughters I worked opposite shift of their father. Although I was home with the girls during the day I was always so tired that I just didn't have the energy to do things with them. Now that I am with my husband and staying home I have the oppertunity to go to their classroom parties, take them to the park and during the hotter periods I can take them swimming. I was able to a bit of this before but not like now. Another thing that I realized is that i don't have to miss out on anything with my one year old. My husband was at work most of the time when our daughter did new things, I was home! I have found that although I am not the best housekeeper maybe this SAHM thing isn't so bad.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday!
Here I go again trying to be creative and find good shots for the scavenger hunt. I know most people edit their pics but I like leaving my photos in the rough. So if they are not always the best quality that is why.
1. Bright white
This is horse. She loves being out in the snow. She was rolling around just before i took this photo.
2. Strong
What is stronger than an old tree. I thought about a pic of my family because my first thought for this challenge was roots. But this tree has roots and it was so beautiful.
3. Warmth
My husband and I love a good conversation around a fire.
4. Patern
I thought there is two for one in this photo. There are stratigically placed trees behind the repition of the fence.
5. Shadow
This came out of my archives. It is a photo of the recent Winter solstice lunar eclipse.

So I begin!
I have always wanted to be a doctor but I just didn't have the oppertunity to start that dream! I then moved on to the thought of being a Respiratory therapist. I started going to school when I was 20 and worked on covering the basics. I only stayed in school for one year and then moved to another state. The out of state tuition was just too costly so I decided to take a year off. Withn that year I became a mother. My life just did not seem to be pointing in the right direction. I then had another child and that halted school again. Finally when I was 28, I got back into to school to be a RT. My life again took a turn. I was halfway through school and then met the love of my life in another state. I quit school and moved to be with him. I now have another beautiful girl. I have always said, "I am not meant to be a stay at home mom"! That is just what I am and realized that I may never get into the medical field. So now I must except that maybe I am meant to be a stay at home mom and should learn to appreciate it.

Finding time to be me!
I have always been a very high energy person, but find it hard to be that way as a stay at home mom. So I am constantly looking for new things to do, such as new recipes for dinner and little crafts I can do for the kids. But what I really want to do is get back into painting and drawing. The only problem with that is a one year old that wants to tag along. I find it hard to get time to myself. Guess I am going to have to figure it out before i go insane. It is important to me to stay true to myself and not just be mom or wife. So that is my task for myself, find time to be me! Look foward to hearing about my journey!

1. I thought water would be an easy picture but found that it
harder than I thought. But I liked this capture!
2. Quote was definately hard for me. I thought of a few things but none
turned out as I wanted so this is it.
3. captured this outside my kitchen window. It just happened to snow
the night before!
4. No better activity when you don't have school and can't drive anywhere.
5. I happened to make blueberry muffins for breakfast and remembered seeing
an advertisement in a magazine. Fit the part perfect.
