Fall Nights

It has been so nice these past couple of evening that we have been going outside after dinner to hang out. I am cherishing these nights because I know we are going to wake up soon to some crazy winter weather. Laynie has really loved being outside and Tanner I believe should live outside because he dislikes being inside. Dad and I have been enjoying it too and taking in these precious moments we have with the kids. God is Good and we are very blessed to get to have wonderful fall evenings.

Life's Little Instruction Book

While I was in the middle of purging things in our house I came across a book that was in the back of a drawer. Started flipping through it and thought this needs to be out to flip through and think about some of the things that you see in it. I thought I would share a few.

*Take lots of snapshots
*Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
*Slow Dance
*Smile a lot. It cost nothing and is beyond price
*Keep It Simple!!!!
*Become someones hero
*Marry only for love
*Count your blessings
*Call your Mother

Laynie putting on a concert

Laynie as everyone already knows loves all things Barbie and she watches all the movies and knows all the songs. Here is one of her favorties that she wanted to share with all of you. Without futher adiu Laynie Kovacs singing Together we dream the same dream from Barbie Diamond Castle. Gosh I love her.....

like father, like son

Mr. Tanner is usually a momma's boy but here recently thanks to hunting season coming up Tanner is all about hanging with his daddy and doing all things hunting. Watching the hunting channel and looking at hunting magazines. Well I guess Tanner likes hunting so much that when daddy is at work he likes to look at the magazines all by himself. He is growing up so fast and is too cute for words.

Being a Parent

Today some friends of ours is having a baby. It just got me thinking how lucky we are to have kids and how I felt the day they were both born. I started going through their baby books and I found this prayer that someone gave to me when Laynie was born and I thought I would share it. The Parent's Prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for my little one,
I know we will have lots of fun.
Help me to be firm and wise
and see things through my child's eyes.
Give me courage and patience too
so I'll know the right things to do.
Please show me what I need to know
so I can help my child grow.
Thank you for this life you've shared
trusting me to take great care.
Help me please to always see
the blessing you have given me!

Here is to all the parents out there. God made us very lucky people to get a chance to love our children and watch them grow up

First day of Preschool

today was a first at the Kovacs household. Laynie started preschool this morning. She was so excited. We got up today and I made her a good breakfast of waffles and milk. Then it was time to pack her lunch. Today she wanted a grape jelly sandwich, cheese it's, applesauce and milk to drink. We then got her things together and out the door we went. She could not wait to get there and I could not stop taking pictures of her. Finally we got in the car and off we went. She found her cubby with her name on it and put her nap sack and lunch box in there and off to circle time she went. I am so proud of her and can't wait to hear about everything that happened on her first day of school.

Friday night Family Night

So this past Friday we all made homemade pizza's for dinner. We got all the fixin's ready and put it all out on the table and all got to make our own pizza. Laynie loved getting to put all the toppings on. Her pizza was overflowing with cheese,sausage and pepperoni. Tanner was eating while he was making his pizza and getting cheese and sauce every where. He was too funny to watch. All the res of the pizza was done up by me and I think they turned out great if I do say so myself. Friday night with the kids and hubby was great. I think we just found a new Friday night family night tradition.
