Bedtime

As Brecken and I are sitting here having his bedtime milk and he is playing with Momma's hair. By the way this is the best part of my day; some cuddle time with my little man. I began to think about how blessed my life is. I had to give a ride at the shop today to a man that was 80 years old. He was talking about how short this life has been; about how quickly his 80 years had gone. The saying goes Life isn't about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away. I have had those wonderful moments in my life and just wanted to take some time to reflect on them. The moment I became a Christian, finding the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with and the blessing of becoming a mom are the ones I treasure most. I don't want to EVER take for granted that God has blessed my life beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. I have been so blessed to have an amazing family and friends that I love very dearly. I have got to share in many breath taking moments in others lives as well. One of the most special times for me was getting to be there...well outside the door when my neice Darby came into this world. I can't tell you what I felt in that moment. My baby sister became a Mom and I got to be there for that special moment. I just wanted to say to everyone that reads this...don't miss the moments! The moments come and go too quickly so cherish the moments that take your breath away!

The Beginning....

Well we decided to make a blog page for our little family. I have enjoyed keeping up with everyone through the blogspot pages so we decided to join in on the fun. I begin this first blog on a bit of a sad note. A family that we have known for a long time lost a precious daughter, granddaughter, and neice Lilly this past week. I have struggled all week to make some sense of such a profound loss. I am just asking for the prayers of anyone that might read this to lift up the Thomas Family as they need more strength now than ever before! I pray peace would come over this family to know they are loved and thought of daily.

Brecken is now a very active 2 year old and keeps his Mommy and Daddy running around all the time. He loves Veggie Tales, Cars, Monster's Inc., Toy Story, and last but not least The Backyardigans! We have DVR'd every episode of the Yardigan's as Brecken calls them, we can find. It is now a crazy obsession for him. Pablo is his favorite and he has to sleep with his Pablo animal and his Lightening McQueen car. We made Brecken a big boy room for his birthday. He is now sleeping in an official Big Boy Bed and is growing up way too fast! We are becoming very independent. I will post pics soon of the Big Boy room and of my new neice Darby. Can't to hear from anyone! Love and Blessings!
