Everything happens for a reason...
















So on the 15th, our celeste turns 13! I aplogize for my horendous blogging skills but I wanted a few pics from her scrapbook. Now you know what a terrible scrapbooker I am too! That is why it is no longer an option...on to the post.

From the moment she was born she has changed our life in a million ways. For starters, between the two of us at least 80 lbs has been added, 100 gray hairs, wrinkles have begun to appear, cellulite, vericose veins, muscles have atrophied... there is plenty more but I am starting to become depressed listing it all.

Celeste is honestly an incredibly genuine kid. She has a heart of gold. She forgives more often than I would, she is generous and kind, she is a second mom to her siblings, and a huge help to me. She is clever and funny like her Dad, and thank goodness she has his bottom half. Even her feet look just like his! She has always been miss independent, which drove me crazy when she was younger, but now I know one day she will be just fine on her own. Recently, we have become friends and she has been so much fun. I know she thinks her Dad hung the moon but, I know I am starting to grow on her!! I know why she's here and why she came and I am so thankful that she did. Happy Birthday Celeste! We love you more than you could ever imagine.

Organize me...
















I know I am not the best blogger. I love looking at everyone else's , mine always seems to fall short in the photo category. I have all of these "mom" looking photos. Either the kids took them or I took them myself. Photography is not my niche. Which then brings me to how guilty I feel that every picture I have of the kids, if it's not professionally done, it is hidden somewhere on my hard drive. So this year my resolution is to get all my photos printed out and at least chronologically place in boxes for each child. Even the photos I have on snapfish I don't know which ones I own and which ones I don't. So if anyone, who has not completely lost interest in my very boring blog life, has any ideas to help me accomplish this, I would very much appreciate it. Scrap booking is completely out of the question!
