Im a Slacker!!!

yes It has been a while since I last posted. I have been very busy with Caroline and my new addiction to Facebook. I guess if I can get on Facebook I can blog too.... Ok Caroline turned 5 in May. She had her first sleepover. Not too bad I must say...She is out of school for the summer. Now she knows everything. You try to tell her something and it is I know that already I learned it in school... So I have my hands full with this one.. I love it though. Will post some pics later.

A Visitor From Home!!!!

so apparently these pictures are backwards!! I got to see my Auntie Theresa! It was so special. We had so much fun! Caroline was so happy. And so was I... I just kept on hugging her. And of course all of you that may know me know that i am a big emotional ball baby. I get that from my momma... Poor Caroline she doesnt stand a chance! I have learned that it is hard from being away from family but i have my little family here and they mean the world to me!

WE had a fun St Patricks Day!!!! We had a special visitor and a fireside that was awesome that we went to!! Here we are waiting in line!!! Caroline kept asking about when we were going to get to see Mommas Uncle. She was getting a little confused about the aunt and uncle concept.

Snow Storm

Yeah I know I am a little late but I finally have a little time to post these pics from the snowstorm that we had a couple of weeks ago. It seems that life gets pretty busy and hectic with working full time and then spending what little time I have left with Todd and Caroline.

Here is Caroline outside enjoying the snow.

She didnt want to come in.. She had fun throwing snowballs at mommy!!!!

Here we are again trying to figure how to build a snowman..

This picture was taking for Christmas. WE just got the cd back today so now you can see how big my baby girl is. She is enjoying school and loves it tremendously. We are working right now on her counting to twenty. she gets to about 13 or 14 then says 19 and 20. SHe loves to read to you even if its not what the book says she is reading. We are so proud of our Caroline Rose. Everyone says she looks like her Mommy What do you think..

I hope you all love this video. Caroline is learning to count at school. We are so proud.

Kids say the funniest things!!!!

Ok As many of you may or may not know I have sleep apnea. So i went to a sleep specialist and i have to sleep with a mask that is called a CPAC. It helps me breathe better and not SNORE so loudly. Anyways fast forward to today on the way home from church todd and i were talking about how better i am able to sleep. Then from the back seat Caroline says to us I need to go to the doctors. WE ask why and she says I need a nose blower like mommies. I then ask her what is a nose blower. She said you put it up your nose and it gets the burgers out so you dont snore no more. All we could do was laugh our heads off. My child comes up with the funniest things. I thought you all might enjoy a laugh...

What Ive Been UP to!!!!!

I have been working alot lately. Ive been filling in for several people at work so that my hours havent been cut so badly at work. That has been a huge answer to prayers. I also have been trying to exercise and eat right. This has been my goal for awhile now. BUt due to some health problems it has made me see the light. Yes my high blood pressure has gotten worse and I went to a sleep specialist and i have sleep apnea. So this yr I have made it my goal to eat right and trying to exercise. I am still too young to be having high blood pressure and all this other stuff. SO i will exercise and eat right and try to get down to my goal weight and keep it there. I want to lose 1oo lbs.
So please Keep me in your prayers and everyone please take care of your bodies.
love ya

Merry Christmas!!!

This year we want to wish all our friends and family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am grateful for this time of year. I miss gettting together with friends and family. But maybe next year I will be able to go back home. Finances have been really tight this year and we feel the strain of the economy. BUt we have been blessed to make it through.
Caroline is enjoying school so much. Every day she wakes up and asks is this a school day. She is doing so much better with her letters. We are going to get her started on her numbers. She can write her name in a straight line. And she loves to write on anything.. Thankfully she hasnt written on the walls again.
Todd and I are just working and going along with life. WE are grateful for the time we have together and we are grateful for our precious daughter that god has entrusted in us to raise. I never knew that motherhood was a blessing. I just hope that the Lord is pleased with the job that I am doing.
We are grateful for the true Reason of the season!!! May we all have a Christ Centered CHRISTmas.
LOVe
The Ruff Family

my crazy schedule

Hello everyone!!! I hope all are doing well. I have still got this nasty sinus infection. It seems that this cough doesnt want to leave my body. But I suffer through it. I am feeling a little better. I have just been working like crazy though. It seems that everyone waits to the last minute to do their Christmas shopping too. So the electronics dept has kept me busy. When i get home all i want to do is crash. So hopefully this week when I am off work i can catch up on all the housework. and maybe we will get the christmas decorations up. But just wishing everyone a good day...
