One day one went a missin, two day two went a missin

Sunday, Tara showed us her tooth. Mom, she said," I have a loose tooth! Pull it out! " I don't do that! I told her. Nanna does that mamma does!!! My Mother in-law does that not me. I touched it and moved it a very tiny bit and Tara worked on until right before Belly dancing . Well, she swallowed it.

The next day I looked at her and realized either something wasn't right with her tooth or it was loose. It was loose and again she lost her tooth. My little girl has lost her two front teeth. I kept looking at her and looking at her! Full of life that's my Tara, my fairy princess! She is getting bigger and growing up, but she will always be my fairy princess!

Reading Time

I feel so grateful that my kids have a love for reading. Tara, was determined and commitment to learn how to read and would read all day. She loves to read!

Jazzy is always looking up to his brother Gus. Gus sat down to read and Jazzy runs upstairs and gets his collection of comics. Just like my big brother!

Gus came home from FLT camping homeschooling Trip . . .

Jazzy is not the only one that well ,let's just say, Gus has found a new connections to the female species! A girl did his nails! My son let some girl/s do his nails. Well, he did say they made him!

His toes too!?

Than his "FRIEND" drew a flaming heart on his cheek!

This is Gus. Full of energy, NOT! He was a bit zombie like! No! that is not his natural hair color.

Jazzy, the Amazing Tattoo Artist

This is the day before his birthday. The girls and I were downstairs, I went to check on the little man and he hid on me. I told him I'm coming in and tickled him, he just yelled at me . . . "GO Away!" I looked and this is what I saw!

"Mom, Do you like my new tattoo's? Wow Jazz, I just, well they are special!"

Some of us Just know how to work it!

Sometimes, you just have to cover up and just peek out, until the happy bug comes or at least the treats!

Are you serious? You called me out of my girl cave for a hug! Where the FOOD!?!?

"I know he needs me,

Moments of Gratitude

being a mom and having healthy kids and having a relationship that is empowering to my kids

My 4 legged kids! They give unconditional love no matter what I do or how I feel or act! They are pretty amazing!

I am one lucky lady; Every morning my dear sweet Husband wakes up early and when it's 7:30 he wakes me up with a hot cup of tea . Or some coffee! Every Morning . . . .how lucky is that!!!!

Growing up I wanted to have a relationship with my siblings that was like best- friends. My kids are so close. I am so grateful for this gift.

This month (January) I was on Etsy and saw this picture. I love ravens/crows and my b-day is in March. I contacted the woman and she gave it to me FREE! How lucky is that, lucky me!!!

Jazzy Turns 4

January 22, 2006 I became a mom again for the last and 7th time! It's hard to believe that it was 4 years ago, we moved in here and had our baby boy! I remember that feeling of holding this little fragile baby, his little cues and sigh. Now, he seems to be using words more than the average adults does. The other day we were getting ready to go somewhere and I was talking about listening and such and he looked at me and said," Mom, I am not ready to discuss this situation. You will have to talk to me later." They grow up so fast, if you knew how fast life goes by, would we take so much for grant it?!

time to CELEBRATE!!

Daddy got him a few little treats for his b-day! Time sure has changed. Jerry and I were telling the kids we used to get these when we were kids in a box. They all looked at us puzzled and said they came in a box! Jerry said Jazz, it has really cool prizes in the box too. Jazzy got some pencil stickers. Prizes are not as good for sure!

Pokemon guy, Autumne got for Jazzy. Jerry is a bit confused about him. Mom and Dad are not really up on our Pokemon!

Of course Joy has to be part of ALL celebrations!

What I thinks is so sweet, is the connect between the two of them!

Buddha (dog) yoga

Buddha doing some yoga. Think he lkes Bliss yoga!
He's all blissed out!

Stretching the left hip! Awww that feels so good!!

I'm feeling cold people, where's my blanket?!

Ok! why are you watching me!

How can I bliss out, if you won't stop watching me! Well, if you insist, you can watch, only if you give me a treat !

It all began with 2 Bones and 2 Dogs

Joy and Buddha were given each a bone. Here she is chewing away!

She is so tired after all that chewing, a girl has to get some beauty sleep, after such a busy day! Oh goody, " Buddha, thinks to himself time I go and steal that bone and better take mine too!" Notice her bone in his mouth! He walks quietly over to the door, not making a sound. Joy must sleep, I must steal her bone too!

Now it's time for bone # 2! Can he do it!? Can he sneak her bone out without her waking up. Again, he ever so quietly goes to the door. Now we all have to go look out the window and see what Mr. Buddha is doing

Well, before we can look, he asks to come in and this is what he looks like ... . .. ..

He has buried it out in the back yard. By now Miss Joy has awaken, and knows something is up. She asks to go out. Of course Buddha has to go out and check up on her. Buddha, barks at her and Joy comes in. Several days later Miss Joy finds the bones are keeps them for herself!
