Well Patton's Best friend is sick with pneumonia and had to stay at the hospital last night. Patton has been very concerned about his Buddie. He wanted to call him so we did that. He was happy to hear his voice and to know that he is doing okay. He even told him that he loved him! I very seldom get I loves yous out of him:)

Through the eyes of a child

The kids always get my camera and take pictures. They know that it is to be off limits but they think I don't know until I go to download the pictures. This go around this is what I found. I just think it is funny what they think is important.

This is Parker's Star Wars Lego set he got for Christmas

This looks like a coupon that I got in the mail

Of course their Nerf guns

Penny Princess gets her picture taken a lot

And dad I guess he is pretty important to!

Oh NO!
Well before you read this you must refer to a friend of mines blog. DeAnn Dorn www.lifeisgood4.blogspot.com. She put a tid bit in there about marriage and Maddox and Patton. I read this to Patton and this is what he says.
Patton: I don't want to get married. ( very upset face)
Me: reading what Maddox said to Deann
Patton: Okay muma I WILL marry Maddox, I just love him too.
Me: oh no Patton are you sure you want to marry Maddox?
Patton: he is my best friend and I love him too. I also like Jarrett, Alex, and Will.
Kids aren't they just funny.
While I am typing this I just over heard Patton yelling at Payton and her friend not to eat all the goldfish because he wanted some. Payton was teasing him and he says "thanks a lot you ruined my life." Kids are great!

We need prayers please!

New Year's Resolution
Well every year I attempt to make some far off resolution. Well this year I don't want to lose 20 lbs , or have a 6 pack for a stomach, or a million dollars, or even some new gadget to brag about so some other person will think I am cool. This year I just don't want to give a crap about what anyone else thinks. I want to grow a back bone and stand up for myself. This is something I know nothing about. I can talk the talk but I just can't seem to walk the walk. Don't you just hate it when someone thinks they are better than you? I want to be able to say to them don't forget to spray the air freshener on your way out! We were all put on this earth as equal, some might have a little bit more, and some might have nothing, but who's to say a person should look down at them. Yea losing 20 lbs is great, okay I don't think I should loose 20 maybe 10. Even having a six pack sounds great, yes I need to exercise and be healthy to but within reason. I am not sure that I want to be a body builder. I just want to be a better person and a better wife and mother. I don't think that I am a bad one, I just think I should try to be a little more attentive. I just want to be happy in my own skin. How many people out there are not happy with themselves. I am sure more than you think. It is easy to make the perception to the outside world that everything is fine and dandy. Perfect doesn't exist and everyone has problems. So why try to hide that? I know I am rambling but I look around and think that this world is full of too many people that walk around thinking that they are big and better than others. I just want to tell them to grow up and get a life! This world would be a better place if everyone treated each other as equals. With that I am going to try my hardest to stick up for myself and say hey I am happy and the four people who I care about the most in my life are just as happy as can be. So go rub your shit in someone else's nose because I just don't care!
So what is your New Year's resolution?
