My heart is absolutely broken tonight for Sherry Wight, and her entire family, after the loss of her sweet Logan. Just 5 years old. He battled brain cancer for 18 months, and I feel honored just getting to know them online, and be apart of their journey. I've been praying for Logan and he really touched my life, and Sherry, you are simply amazing yourself. Your blog posts were soo beautifully written and I always wondered, 'how does she have the time and energy and strength' to even post anything, let alone something so well written and thoughtful and inspiring.

Thank you for sharing your sweet Logan with us. I promise to go out and do something extra fun tomorrow, in his honor, just as you requested. I also plan to look at his picture often and remind myself of his happiness and courage, and to hold my kids just a little tighter.

Children are such a gift, and they can be taken away at any time.

If anything ever happens to me, please let my children know just how much I loved them.

Landen, Alisia, and Amaya, you mean the world to me. I would do anything for you and I love you more than anything in the world. I'm so thankful that I'm able to stay home every day and watch you grow. You are all special in your own ways, and such a blessing to your Daddy and I.

Off to check on my babies, and just watch them sleep for awhile.

Saw this today on Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee and it looks so good! With the holidays coming up this would be a neat dessert to serve.



1 (19.5-ounce) box chocolate brownie mix (recommended: Pillsbury)
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons creme de menthe liqueur, divided
1/2 cup chopped creme de menthe thins, about 18 (recommended: Andes)
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened (recommended: Philadelphia)
1/2 cup sugar

Lightly spray a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.

Make a foil ring, 1-inch thick, for souffle dish to sit on inside a 5-quart slow cooker.

In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix, 2 eggs, vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup creme de menthe. Stir using 50 strokes or use a hand blender on medium speed for 1 minute to combine. Fold in chopped mint thins. Transfer to prepared souffle dish and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, remaining egg, sugar, and 2 teaspoons creme de menthe. Using an electric mixer beat on low speed until smooth. Spread over brownie mixture. Use a butter knife to cut cream cheese mixture into brownie mixture for a marble effect.

Place souffle dish on top of foil ring in slow cooker. Lay 8 paper towels over top of slow cooker bowl and secure with lid. (This helps to trap steam.)Cook on LOW setting for 4 1/2 to 6 hours. (Do not lift lid to check brownies for the first 3 hours.)

Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting

I sent $150 to someone on the TP for Thomas trains and Geo Trax for LC's birthday TWO months ago, and I just got the box without all the Geo buildings and trax!!! WTF! Supposedly the box was shipped back to them once, still its been foreve and I'm not sure I believe it. They are blaming it on their husband but I'm still very ANNOYED as we are playing the email game. They obviously won't arrive for his birthday! If at all. :( Plus some were supposed to be for Easter! I know it was a large order, but if someone had given me $150 I would have packed the box VERY carefully! WOuldn't you? I was very patient waiting for them but now this is getting rediculous.

Sorry had to vent.

Its near 80 with a perfect breeze!! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous out there!

Ali JUST now woke up after, an almost 5 hour nap?! I laid her down at noon! She is such a sleeper. Amaya kept waking up after I put her down, just like she did yesterday, but she finally went down for a good nap about an hour ago.

CALL ME BACK! I don't have your number handy!

KeyBOArD not WOrKING - HAVe tO CUt AND PASte LetterS - UGH!!!

BeAr W/Me!!

Happy Birthday Carissa!!!

On his way to bed with Daddy, LC came over to me to give me a kiss goodnight. He said "I wanna give you a kiss Mom. Muah." Then immediately "I wanna kiss the baby! Muah." and he kissed my bare belly! (I was reclining back, with my shirt up, relishing these last kicks and giving it some room to move! It was really sweet. Then Justin said "pretty soon, and the baby's going to be out. 2 more days. (not even!)

I feel like totaly crap tonight. :( I seriously almost got sick earlier and I've had an awful headache. I know my BP is fine though, because that was checked earlier. I hadn't ate since 1p though, and it was like 8p. I stuffed myself w/chinese food at the mall, and nothing sounded good all evening. Finally, at 9p I made myself some coco wheats and that helped a bit. However, I'm barely getting anything done. I'm sooo stressed out. :(
