Mommy plus Five

My 365...

Happy Friday!  We have not been above the 20°f's for temperature all week.  Needless to say I have barely stuck my nose out the door at all.  So bitter cold, but I love it!  I think I love winter so much because being born and raised in Texas, there was really no such creature as a good long winter.  In Texas, it often felt like there were two seasons, Summer, and Not Summer.  Here in Idaho we have four, gloriously distinct seasons, and Fall and Winter are my two favorite ones.  There is some snow in the forecast for tomorrow too.  That is very exciting!

We are planning a nice, relaxing, stay at home sort of weekend.  There was a new computer game released for beta this week, so Blake and I might have to give it a try.  I have not even started my Christmas shopping yet.  I have an idea of what I want to get everyone.  Fortunately for me, I can do all my shopping online.

The boys keep asking me what I want for Christmas?  My answer is always the same..."What could I possibly need or want?  I have all of you."  And it is true.  I have my four amazing sons, my beautiful daughter-in-in-law Amber, and my precious grandchildren Cooper and Penny.  Everything in my life is perfect, amazing, and full of love...what else could I possibly need?  Not a darn thing, and I mean that sincerely.

I do have another grandson.  And although I have never met him, I want him to know that I love him very much, and wish him a very Merry Christmas.  :)

Have a wonderful weekend planet!  And if it is cold in your neck of the woods, hope you are staying nice and warm.

Until next time...
 And my favorite spot on the tree is where Cooper tucked all the ornaments into the ribbon along the side of the tree, like eggs in a nest.  Perfection!

Peace.

I enjoyed another delightful evening with my daughter-in-law Amber, and my precious grandchildren Cooper and Penny.  I feel so blessed to have them in my life.  Snuggling with little Penny is one of my most favorite things in the world, and playing with Cooper is always delightful.  He is so smart, and so much fun, that adorable little grandson of mine.

Tonight Cooper decorated the Christmas tree for me, and did an amazing job.  Sure, all the ornaments are on the bottom half of the tree, and mostly front and center, but I would not change a single thing.  I love my Cooper decorated tree.  "Thank you Cooper!  It is without question, the most beautiful Christmas tree I have ever had...thanks to you honey."  :)

Brandon stayed for dinner when he got off work this evening, and it was wonderful to spend a little time with my son.  I don't get to see him enough now that he is working so hard, and living in a different town.  I value what time we do get to spend together.

I love him and his beautiful little family so much.

Hope your Thursday was a good one planet.  Just one more day till the weekend!

Happy Wednesday planet!

I had a delightful, mid-week surprise visit from my daughter-in-law Amber, and my precious grandbabies Cooper and Penny.  It had been a bit of a stressful day up until that point, but being with Amber and the babies made all the stress melt away.

My granddaughter Penny is feeling so much better too.  She still has a bit of a cough, but is much improved, thank goodness.  Cooper was his delightful, silly self.  He even got to enjoy some video game time with uncle Casey.  These babies are my joy...Amber is pretty special too.  :)

All in all...a great day!

Hope your day was a good one.  Until next time...


Sweet, precious little Penny.  She is so adorable.  :)


Peace.

Hello planet.  Today was a nice, ordinary Tuesday.  My to-do list is all checked off for the day, and now I can just relax and enjoy my evening.

Hope your day was a good one.

Until next time...

Peace.

Happy Monday planet.  I spent pretty much the entire day under the blankets, trying to get rid of this dreadful cold.  It was cold and rainy outside today too, so I am glad I did not have to be anywhere.

My poor daughter-in-law Amber has her hands full with a sick baby.  My precious little granddaughter has a bad case of croup.  But Amber has everything under control, and was able to get Penny to the doctor for some medicine.  Amber has amazing "mommy" instincts.  Little Penny will be feeling better soon.  *love*

Hope your day was awesome!

Until next time...

Peace.

It is such a cold, gray day outside today.  The sort of day where you just don't even want to get out of bed. My cold has gotten worse, so I could stay in bed all day and no one would complain.  But I can't do that.  Staying in bed all day would be too depressing.  So instead I am enjoying a gaming day with Blake.  It will be a filled with Minecraft and Terraria fun...junk food, and rest and relaxation.  Our favorite kind of day.

Blake:  "Mom, can I tell you who is my most favorite person in the world is?"

Me:  "That would be me?"

Blake:  "Okay mom, can I tell you who my second most favorite person in the world is?"

Me:  "Good save son."

LOL, I love that boy.  :)

Hope your first day of December was a good one.  And have an awesome Monday, and week ahead.


Peace.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Love,
