Ahhhhhh.........

Organization.....Who doesn't love it? I FINALLY got around to getting my craft stuff all organized and in the same place. I have acquired a lot of stuff these last couple of years. I can now do wreaths, shadow boxes, blankets, cards, scrap booking, stamping, tutu's and i think i might be leaving a couple out. But all this stuff needs a home. So Eric, moved one of the printer we had sitting out, and gave me space for my crafts (isn't he awesome?) Check it out.....

And these are just coffee cans i coverd with paper and a ribbon for catch all's

Jesus in my pocket.....

Rohan "momma where is Jesus?"

"He's in here lil man" and i point to his heart through his shirt (which also happens to have a pocket on it)

"But momma, how is Jesus gonna fit in there" he asks as he looks in his pocket.....

In all of this.....

I have forgotten to wish you all a happy new year. I know the Spillman home is happy to enter the New Year with optimism and hope. 2010 was choppy for us, we had some good, some very good, some bad and some worse, but for each of these i think, we have been made better people.

Did you make any resolutions? I have 8 total. Some are easy (if i just stick to them) others, a little harder, but i am determined to keep them this year.

As we all venture around the sun again, we hope 2011 brings you everything you need and maybe even a couple of things you want.

Love,

All of us

Happy birthday buddy......

This is Rohan's birthday Cinnamon bun. We did his at breakfast because i wasn't sure what we were doing for dinner, but i was pretty sure it wouldn't have cake. So this way he got to make a wish on his actual birthday.

My Lil outlaws

Could you not just die at Ro's face?? So CUTE!!

And the ones that they learned it from.......

I had one for Bria and i done as well.............

Rohan turns 3......

New years day has taken on a whole new meaning for us since 2008. Rohan joined us 01-01-08 at 1:46 pm. He has been our light ever since. This morning we celebrated his day with a birthday cinnamon bun complete with candles to blow out. He got a couple small gifts from us. And G-dean came over with some new cool dinosaur fridge magnets (we used to have a bunch, but Tabby chewed them all) so this gift was perfect for the boys. As T-Bria and I enjoyed some coffee, the topic of Casa Bonits came up, she has been BEGGING to take them, and i have been against it, remembering it to be bad food, and a bad experience, but she was able to convince me, and we decided we would take Rohan for his 3rd birthday.

NOW........for anyone that lives in or has ever lived in Colorado, you know this place. It's been around forever!! (since 1974 as a matter of fact) so most people that live here have been there, and pretty much any one that visits wants to go there. Casa Bonita is every bit as you remember, only smaller. As a child, it all seems so amazing, the cliff divers, the shoot out, black bart's cave, the winding crazy never know where you'll come out caves. The magic is still there, don't get me wrong. From the familiar smell, to the fact they haven't changed anything in the last 14 years, the magic of a memory comes back to you. We took the boys tonight, and even in the chaos that is that restaurant, i had a great time watching the boys, they had fun, and enjoyed the action. The food was actually good, which we were worried about (Casa Bonita is NOT known for the food). The decor is still the same, the acts are still the same. It was fun to see the boys see something as i did as a child. Everything around us is so quick to move on to the bigger better things, it was nice to see they have stayed the same. It was a great day and evening out.

So Happy Birthday Baby bug. I hope we helped make some memories tonight that you can share with your kids. We love you with all our hearts.
