The Quilter's Adventures: It's Here! It's FINALLY Here!!!

~Kids...They're so Silly~

Chase was playing dress-up and came to the top of the stairs and said, "Look! I'm Jesus! ~pause~ Wait! Jesus has to go potty!!!!" And off he ran!

Brielle asks if she can have some medicine. When I ask her why she says, "Because I have ISSUES!" (I think she was referring to her runny nose and that she needed to use tissues!?!)

Brielle asks, "Mom, Where are we going?" I respond, "Crazy".
Brie says, "Where's Crazy?" I say, "Anywhere we are at the moment." She says after a long pause, "Will my friends be at Crazy too?" I say, "No Brielle, Crazy isn't a place, it's a state of mind." "Oooohhhh!" she says, while giggling.

A rainstorm was brewing outside and Brielle said, "Mom! I SEE thunder!!!"

When pulling into the gas station, Avery asks, "What are we doing? The gas light isn't on!" I respond, "Believe it or not, we CAN get gas when the gas light's NOT on!"

When asked to shut the back door, Chasen responded, "I can't! I'm NOT big!"

Avery asks me, "Mom, where does the water come from?"
Brielle answers, "From the faucet!!!"

Wanting to go outside on a cold day, I said to Brielle, "It's chilly out there!" She says, "Mmmm, I like chili!"

Chasen REALLY wants to be like his daddy! He decided to "cook" one morning and made himself a Saltine and Syrup sandwich... He grabbed 2 saltine crackers, poured some syrup on one, placed the other on top and took a BIG bite!!!

We made it! The year 2009 is FiNaLlY ending!!! You have no idea how long we have waited for this...

This past year was a difficult year for us; we definently felt it in EVERY area of our lives. It all began in January when Chasen fell of the bed and needed stitches. Then came my appendicitis in May, Brielle's broken arm in June, Daxton's injured eye in August. This year was chock full of medical visits...
Then we had our struggles financially and spiritually. It has taken its toll. But we have grown together through our trials and know that we are better people starting out this new year.

We have a bright and cheery outlook for 2010 and can't wait to see all that is instore for us. "Bring it on!", we say!!!

Wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
