Blog Award

I won an award for a fabulous blog!! :) I have to now tell 5 addictions that I have. So, here they are in order.

5. Riding 4-Wheelers...I love the rush of going fast. I enjoy going down in the creek and through the woods.

4. Reading...I enjoy reading anything by Nicholas Sparks. His interpretations of life and love are remarkable. Especially since he is a man.

3. Scrapbooking...I truly enjoy making the twin's scrapbooks. The memories of their childhood put together as a gift for them, so that one day they can enjoy them as adults.

2. Traveling...I love going to new and exciting places. I have been all over the world. My favorite two places are Australia and Ireland. I always wanted to go to Australia, and I enjoyed every minute of my trip. Ireland was very special because it was just my mother and myself. Spending that time together is something I recommend to all mothers and daughters.

1. My Kids...I have never felt more joy and pleasure in my life. They are truly miracles, and I have been truly blessed!

Now I get to pass it along this fabulous award to five others:

Just a swingin'

These pictures are from a trip we took to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The kids had never been on a swing set before. They just had the best time. They would look at each other and start laughing. I had the best time watching them.
