Ultimate Blog Party

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

I'm excited to join the Ultimate Blog Party!  I thought I'd just share a little bit about myself and my blog.

About me:  I'm a stay-at-home mommy to 1 terrific husband and 3 wonderful little miracles.  I homeschool my oldest son who is now in 2nd grade (I seriously, cannot be old enough to have an 8 year old, can I?)  I enjoy scrapbooking (when I get a spare minute), couponing, sports, and playing piano.  Most importantly, I love my Savior Jesus Christ.  I strive every day to be more like Him.  I fail many times, but His grace picks me up when I fall.  I am so grateful for my Savior's love and grace in my life.

This is me and my wonderful husband of almost a decade.  Mark and I have known each other since elementary school, started dating in high school, and were married after we graduated from college.  I can't imagine life without him.  Mark has worked on the railroad until recently (I'll explain that later in the post).  Mark is the youth leader at our church.  Mark has a servant's heart, is hard-working and a great husband and father.



This is our 8 year old boy Mj.  Mj has such a tender heart.  He's cautious and wants things to be done perfectly.  He loves Legos and Star Wars.  He's such a good big brother.  I love to watch him interact with the younger two.  Mj's favorite subject is science.  He's not much of a fan for school, but he's a great student.


This is our crazy personality - Jadyn.  She's going to be 3 in June.  After we had Mj, we prayed and prayed for God to give us another child.  After meeting with a fertility doctor we were told that we wouldn't be able to have any more children without the help of medications (and we were told it was a miracle we even had our Mj.)  Well, we couldn't afford medications so we decided to keep praying and guess what?!  Yep, God answered our prayers.  Jadyn is such a personality.  She's adventurous, silly, and quite the ham.  She loves being a big sister.  And right now she thinks she's Spiderman.


This is our 1 year old Gabe.  Our 3rd miracle that we never expect to come so quickly.  Jadyn and Gabe are 19 months apart.  He was definitely a surprise and I can't imagine life without our Gabey Baby.  He's is such a happy baby.  As soon as he wakes up he has a smile on his face and blows me a kiss.  It melts my heart!=)  He's definitely a momma's boy, which is ok with me!

We live in Pennsylvania, but our getting ready for a huge move in a couple of months to Miami, Florida.  God works in mysterious ways.  My husband was offered a job at a church/school to work in the maintenance department and help out with the youth group.  We're excited to see God's hand working in this transition in our lives.
So that's a little about me and my family.  Looking forward to "meeting" a lot of new bloggers at this blog party!  Thanks for stopping by!
