Life has been unexpectedly busy and chaotic the past 5 days, my brother in law and his wife had a monster of a tornado wash threw their farm. Thankfully they still have a home and their health some people and neighbours were not so lucky. These are some photos from that night and the following day.. It is amazing how people can be there in a time of need and you don't have to say anything they just appear. I was at times in just awe at the kindness of people working so hard in drenching rain and heat to help these people.

I heart faces: week 24 "Babies" Photo Challenge..

My sweet Maggie, She gave us such a scare on Wednesday night... Recently diagnosed with GERD (Reflux). She had her first ride in an ambulance to the ER.. The staff there was great I was a mess as usual.
Having kids is such an ordeal.. How's the saying go the "Good the Bad & the Ugly"..
Just feeling very blessed and grateful for all my blessings I have right now.. AMEN!!!

8:35 am that is what time my 5th child woke up this morning and she was put to sleep at 10 pm, now this is again my 5th and last child
NONE and I repeat NONE of the other kids did this..I am COUNTING MY BLESSINGS..:)) AMEN
Since 3 weeks old this has happened I mean I have heard about it but never knew it existed..

My little poser..

These 2 are always running..

Maggie enjoys watching kids outside from inside of course. I'll take advantage of it
at this age..

OOOH I love hims Freckles every one....

My sweet Garret this child is hard to capture pictures of so I had to put them all on here just for that fact..:))

So we were outside last night before it started to rain and Connor personally
wanted me to add some photos to my new blog of him, I tried to tell him we should
do pic by pic of him shaving his head and this was the look I got...Thanks
Momma he says.. Teenagers !!!

I'm waiting for Maggie to fit into this hat, so I can get some pics of her in it.
Needless to say shortly after this photo she was happy to get it off.

Griffin waking up and checking on his baby sister..see the cereal in the
background its (Special K) aka my cereal well its his favorite. I couldnt pay
the other kids to eat it.. too funny..
