Inner Light

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You

There comes a time when you must stand alone.

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.

You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Funny BoYs

Last night as I was getting the boys ready for bed, I left the room for a minute to put laundry away, and when I walked back into the boys room I found

this

After laughing my head off, I ran an got the camera.
Look how pissed off Brock is, and Zack just being Zack, always smiling

Zack is really starting to catch onto the whole potty thing, I haven't shown him one thing, guess he's watched his brother and dad.

After taking pictures I tried to take the underwear off so I could put a diaper on him, he screamed bloody murder,so after the diaper was on,he had me put the underwear back on over his diaper, then his pj's. Travis was surprised to change his diaper this morning to find Zack wearing underwear.

WHERE IS MY BABY?

Saturday night we had the Olsen family Christmas party. We ate pizza at the party, but both boys were having to much fun playing to really eat. When we got home they both decided to have pizza by the Christmas tree. What's so cute is that Zack wont eat pizza cut up anymore, he has to eat it whole just like his big brother. He even ate a whole big slice all by himself.

I SURE LOVE these LITTLE BOYS

being their mom is

THE BEST!
