Seven

This will be a double whammy post. Austin and Cooper. The littlest of the brothers. They are growing up so fast, I feel like every time I blink, they get older and older. They are so fun and funny they always seem to crack me up. I love having little brothers. Everyone's always asked if I wish I had a sister. I remember when my mom was pregnant with Austin and we went to the ultra sound to find out the sex, then the ultra sound tech said "its a boy" I wanted to cry! I wanted a sister SO BAD. But now that i've experienced having 5 little brothers. I wouldn't ask for it to be any other way!!!

My cousin Brittany. She reminds me A LOT of myself when I was her age. I cant believe she's already 17 and a JR in high school. She's so funny and such a smart a$$ i most definitely see a lot of myself in her. She's like the little sister I've never had. We have a lot of fun together and have a lot of the same views on things. She is such a smart girl with her head straight on her shoulders. She will do A LOT of great things with her life I just know it. I am very proud of the obstacles she has and will continue to over come which makes her the beautiful girl she is today!

Five

My animals =) I know they aren't technically "people" But they sure think they are human so they definitely count!! I love our dogs. They each have their own individual personalities. They are hilarious, they love me on my good days and my bad days, they are always someone I can count on to be excited when I walk in the door. AND they are the best cuddle-rs. I love how as soon as Chris leaves for work they all claim their spot next to me in bed. Bailey loves to lay on me and cuddle me and lick me to death. I love how the nights Chris has school they keep me company. They always make me laugh!!

My little brother Kyler. Well.. Little in age, big in height! I cannot believe that he is 17 and next year will be a Senior in high school It seems like just yesterday I was a senior in high school. This boy has overcome a lot in his life. He wasn't always dealt a good hand, but he's made the best of it. He has come SO FAR over the last years and I couldnt be more proud of him. He has made himself a role model to the other boys, and become quite the athlete. I love watching Kyler play ball. He does everything a 17 year old should do. Pour his heart into a sport, get good grades, and love his family unconditionally.

L-O-V-E Post #3

3 in a row? Go me! Although I will probably do all of my posting from the weekend on Monday because we have yet to get a new computer! It is on the to-get list though!

Anywayyyys.. My post today is going to be about my cousin Ashely. Ever since I was young I looked up to her! She was always my gorgeous older cousin that I felt so cool to hang around. As I grew up we got close on a whole new level. A more.."adult" level. I can tell her anything and everything (even the gross TMI stuff hah) and know that 1. I can trust her completely with the information I give her and 2. She will give me the best advice she can! She is always one of the first people I go to with problems, good news, bad news, any news really. When I think I cant do something she reminds me that I can. I try my hardest to be there for her the same way she is with me, and I think I do a pretty good job at it. She's like a sister I've never had. Sometimes you never understand why things happen to such good people. But I know God has GREAT things in store for Ashley. If you cant get through it, he wont bring you to it. I love you Ash!

Love Post #2

Today my post about love is about my Grandma Eva =) She's such an amazing lady. She has always helped me whenever I needed anything. She's always the first person I call when I have questions when i'm sick or need any other advice. I still even have friends that to this day will text me and say "Hey lex can you ask your grandma..." I am very blessed to have such an amazing support system. She has helped my mom, brothers and I for many many years. She has picked us up when we needed it most. She has offered her house to us time after time. I wouldn't be half the woman I am today if it wasnt for her. We love you Grandma!!!

26 Days of L-O-V-E

My fellow blogger and good friend Ashley brought up doing 28 days of love to me a few weeks ago and I LOVED the idea. But I totally forgot about it until I read her blog this morning and realized she started! SO instead of 28 days I will do 26 days.. Since I've already missed 2 days this month.

The 26 days of love will be yet again another blogging challenge =) Everyday I will blog about someone I love. These past few months I feel like all of my relationships have been distant. Trying to get settled into the married life and home owner life and juggling friendships is A LOT harder then I ever expected. SO not only is this challenge a good way to start making my blogging a habit, but letting the people in my life know that I do love them!! And I miss them all dearly! I LOVE to spread love, and do things for other people. I love giving gifts in fact I love it so much I have a hard time holding onto gifts which is why I wait until someones BIRTHDAY to buy their gift, or i cant store it for too long without giving in!!

So today I am going to start with no one other then my husband =) I dont know where I'd be in life without him. He's just plain amazing. He is by far the smartest person I know. He is good at everything he does. I love how "handy" he is and is always doing things around the house like painting, hanging stuff for me, etc. He does more for me then I could ever ask for. He spoils me to the max. He is my support system, and I love him for putting up with me when i'm grouchy or just having a bad day. These last couple of weeks I've been SO SO SO tired and I dont know why. But he's been so supportive! He works his butt off full time, school full time and is still able to give me everything a husband should AND then some. Thank you hunny for being such a great husband! I love you dearly and am SO SO SO proud of you for all your hard work and dedication!!!
