A full life!

     We have been busy. The boys are growing way too fast. They both are celebrating birthdays this month and I can hardly believe it.  I spent the day with them last Saturday and took them to Coon Hollo, lunch, and the mall. It was a blast. I am so grateful I get to be these boys mama. It is tough, exhausting, and oh so joyous. Tanner is on the letter I this week at school and doing great. He loves going to lunch buddies whenever he can and is learning so much this year. We signed him up for a class at the Ocala Civic Theater and he loves it. He actually will be going soon as it is on Mondays from 4:30 to 5:30. His daddy has a love for theater and Tanner does too. He loves books and movies and using his imagination so much! He is a creative little boy. He loves playing outside and building things out of anything. Holden is a daredevil. I mean seriously. He puts his motorcycle up on the couch ready to do wheelies and then takes his plastic chair to the top of the slide ready for a "ride" down." He is a snuggle bunny lately and I so have enjoyed snuggling with him in the recliner while we have a fire going. He is talking so much and is so funny. He loves people and everyone loves Holden. These boys keep me on my toes and I wouldn't have it any other way. Billy and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary on October 21st!! God truly has BLESSED the broken road. That was our song on our wedding day and it fits us perfectly! We went out to dinner at Bonefish and ate Lobster and then walked around Best Buy JUST THE 2 OF US!! Good times I tell ya! :) Halloween was fun. Starting at Tanner's school for his parade and sing and party and ending with some trick or treating in our neighborhood. We had a great weekend of going to church, out to lunch the four of us, and then a friends birthday party. Our life is so full. God helps me in my weak moments. I could not do ANY of this without HIM. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 I mess up and some days are CRAZY but that's the beauty of it. I can cherish each moment and enjoy what God has blessed me with. Billy is so funny these days and works so hard for his family. He came home at 2 today and first thing he does is catch up with Tanner and I. His being in school hasn't really slowed him down and he does most of his work after boys and I are asleep. I am proud of him and his long term goals are to take care of me and the boys so I can be there for the boys. He would work 3 jobs so I could stay home. I know we will never regret that in 20 years when the boys are 25 and 22. :) I look forward to their party soon and celebrating 5 years of life with Tanner and 2 years of life with Holden. A couple funny things I need to share in the midst of all the chaos. Today I was getting Holden out of the sandbox and he did not want to get out. I said we have to go pick up Tanner man and he said "two minutes mommy" "two minutes"  Then Saturday after we got home from the gym Tanner asked me if he could have something out of his Halloween bowl. I said of course. Well as I proceeded to pick up things in his room and straighten up I heard him say "oh yea baby. You gotta try this." As he turned around to show me the wrapper from a starburst! That kid cracks me up. I'm sure blessed.
