OK, I have a confession to make. I have a messy bedroom. I strive hard to keep the majority of my home in a semi clean fashion, but my bedroom seems to be the dumping ground of the family. I decided that today was the day and that my room was going to be clean! So for your viewing pleasure, I have before and after pictures.
Some of the things that came out of my room.
-7 pair of kid shoes
-two bags of garbage
-hair things, and more hair things
-dust, at least 2 pounds
-books, books that I’m not reading, but someone else in the house is
-toys, wow, why do I have so many toys in my bedroom
-a sit and spin
-used Q tips, ewww!
So shun me if you wish, but I did fix it, and now I’m reaching out to others with the same dirty secret.
I was too lazy to change the lens on the camera, so I could only get close up pictures, but I think you can see a difference.
Tune in tomorrow for the Master Bath…

More of Alyssa
Yesterday Alyssa was outside climbing on our “play thing” and sliding, I’m sure most of you would gasp when you see her come flying down the slide, but she is pretty confident of her abilities, and has a lot of fun sliding. For those of you safety obsessor’s, there is at least 6 inches of gravel under the slide, swings, and climbing area. I couldn’t resist the chance to catch some pictures of Alyssa. In most of the pictures she has a mouthful of chewed up apple, but I caught a couple of cute ones!
Alyssa
Unlike Aubrey, if I come at Alyssa with a camera she will refuse to look at me. That can be good sometimes because I get a more natural shot of her, but bad when I just want her to be cute and smile. I wanted to post some of these pictures of Alyssa so that my Mom can see that she has curly hair. My mothers father had naturally curly hair, and so far my kids have had very straight hair. Alyssa appearance is different from my other girls. Aubrey had lots of hair by this age, and so did Emma, but Alyssa’s hair is slow to grow, but I love the curl in it. She is also very blonde, more like Tanner was.
Aubrey
Little Aubrey was playing outside in the sandbox yesterday, so I snuck out with the camera to try and catch something with her not pulling a cheesy grin at me. When she see’s the camera she starts posing, I think she is destined to be a little model. Aubrey’s personality is so sweet though, and I wanted to catch her sweet side.

Women in Our Lives
There are woman in the church who amaze me. They have such grace, and charm, and can get up and lead a meeting with such class and seem so articulate. I marvel at them, and wonder if I will ever grow into a maturity like this. It got me to thinking about the women in my life. There is of course my mother, where would I be without her? I have a hard time seeing her as a young mom. I wonder if she had the same self doubts that I have when it comes to being a mother. Or how about Danny’s Mom, she seems so sure of herself and capable in her parenting skills, were these great women once young with little ones hanging on them? I know they were, I just have a hard time picturing it, they just seem to have so much more wisdom and understanding on the issues of life then I, so I’m hoping to grow into this maturity that I see in these great woman in my life.
So moving on… Tanner had a soccer game on Saturday, the wind was blowing like it can only in Dayton. According to Danny it was blowing in gusts of over 60 miles per hour. It was blowing Alyssa right over and if Danny got off the chairs they would take off also. Tanner played goalie and the wind was with the other team, but nothing went past him. At half the coach put Tanner in as a forward, Tanner’s team won!
Aubrey came down with Strep throat this week, and it has run it course through all of us. I still have a residual sore throat, and wonder if I’m going to have to go see the doctor. I took Aubrey to the doc, and she was given some antibiotics, and it kicked it in her, but I’m the only one left with a sore throat.
I’m going to take the kids to Tahoe this weekend and get some photos I’ll post them if any of them turn out.
