This is my life as a SUPERSTAR, wait no, as a MOM, um no, I REALLY mean my life as a daughter to a MIGHTY KING- THAT would mean I am a PRINCESS-yes princess! A few of my favorite things: 
Knowing that I love my best friend and he loves me
My freeing relationship with my FATHER in heaven= He listens when no one else will
A family who cares about me
My little ones
Sour Jelly beans
Praying OVER sleeping kids
My tidy house
Laughing
My moms TOUCH 
Photography
Wakeboarding
COFFEE
Santa
Pink lady apples
White chocolate kit-kats
The POURING rain
A good book
Bubble baths
Friendship
Teachers who kiss my babies
A man (my man) in uniform
And one of my most favorite things-that not many know
I LOVE singing-although I am not gifted with an amazing earthly voice- when I get to heaven I KNOW i will have  amazing VOCALs so ==WATCH OUT==
Just a tad about ME for all those wondering.................. 

C A U T I O N- This blog contains too many pictures of my family-you gotta love um CHRISTMAS WITH DANNY'S FAMILY















We had Danny's mom and brothers over for Christmas this weekend. We baked with the kids and I made din-din. The kids had fun ripping into their presents. We also enjoyed playing CRANIUM which I seem to play way too often these days- How come I never win? The boys (Teeg and Ty) got really cool firetrucks that actually spray water- Thanks Oma and Opa. I absolutly Love Christmas right now-the true meaning of it-the decorations-the family-the weather-the music-thecrazy people shopping at the mall-the cookies-the food-and my three kiddos who are so excited. YUMMY 

Every year SMFD puts on an AMAZING christmas party for the kids with SANTA, SNOW, food and presents for all. This is something I always look forward 2








Joseph and Mary...... Brought a tear to my eye





Knott's MERRY Farm








We had a blast at Knotts especially because it was FREE for fireman. We enjoyed the day with the Kunkels and the kids and us had fun riding the rides. We got to see Snoopy on ice which was suprisingly awesome. I love hangin with three kids at Christmas who still BELIEVE. 

BEWARE.....DO NOT GIVE TATUM CHOCOLATE COOKIES


a night of DECORATING







Every Christmas season my family gets together to make gingerbread houses. This year everyone came to our house and my mom made her famous tacos- oh so yummy. The mommies and daddies tend to try and take over the decorating of the houses- sorry kids- We adults tried really hard to let the kids do whatever they wanted- I had to hold back. The houses turned out very cute and my house was covered in pretty green frosting and I keep finding little candies all over the house. I love Christmas. Here are a few pics of our gingerbread decorating festivities.
