life

Life is happening right here, right now.... Life is also happening everywhere, right now.
sometimes i just sit down and think to myself "how the heck do they do it?" how do moms get ready when their 7 month old baby decides to give them 4 hours of sleep MAX at night, right before a full day of work... then gets up right when its time to shower and get ready...AND doesnt want her to shower OR get ready.. imagine that? :) haha... then get all supplies for girls' and yourself off and out the door in time?...AND have clean clothes, clean house...clean cars, whatever.... I DONT UNDERSTAND!! and i am determined to do it all and to accomplish it all... to go to bed at night with a clean house and fresh laundry sounds simply amazing to me... to go to work looking like i am prepared and ready for the day also sounds simply amazing to me.. to spend time with my girls and love on them as much as possible sounds simply amazing... to get more than 4 hours of sleep also sounds simply amazing to me.. but its all apart of LIFE and i am learning to roll with the punches and take what i can get.. ;) so here i am.'taking it all in' as i sit on my couch in our new house :) which is lovely and i cant really complain right now..

SOOOO much has been going on, i havent posted in a trillion years....and last i checked i wasnt grey yet, so dont get to thinkin that! :) i am not even sure where to begin...thats why i started out with life.. cause i am just living my life and of course having a very busy life!

Kambria is LOVING kindergarten now... we were at walmart the other day, getting supplies to paint with and she saw some erasers that she wanted to get her teacher because the ones her teacher had were broken... so of course i said okay, she got home, wrapped them up and put her name on it..'kambria' NOT Mrs.Witt and took it to school the next day.. she is so loving and always thinking of others! that A girl!!
My JOB search has come to an END... finally i found a job and i believe its going to be a perfect fit! i will be working for a place called PAC here in farmington, its a staffing agency and i will be doing admin work, which i am pumped for... although it breaks my heart leaving berlyn right now... BUT we need to feed our family and it isnt in our budget for me to be a stay at home mommy anymore.. :( i have enjoyed every moment of the last 6.5 months i had with berlyn (and kambria before kindergarten) at home and those memories will never fade away...
I have something to work for ... i will go to work everyday knowing i am helping make a better life for my girls and that gets me pumped.. 
so with that sad, berlyn started at the same academy kambria goes to.. Emmanuel Baptist...
we had a rough couple days with her but i think after meetings there and some more tweaks worked out we are on our path to.......happiness! :) Oh happy day!! I start my new job on monday and have been subbing this week at one of the highschool's here.... and thats all im gonna say about that..
me and me being a sub for HS students...dont mix... :)

every chance we have gotten off together we have made the most of it... kambria has been learning about indians in school and is so interested in them and loves learning about them, so we went out to the aztec ruins, which is bascially old pueblo buildings and lots of neat stuff to walk around and look at...


Kambria became a Jr Forest Ranger by doing some stuff around the park while we were there and completing a worksheet at the end plus watching a video... she has a badge and a certificate to prove it and is so proud of herself...i love seeing her excel in so much and i love seeing her have a strong interest in learning... we are wanting to go to mesa verde next, which is a bigger place ( like the one above ) with more stuff to look at.... i think were ready! PLUS kambria can do more forest ranger stuff there...which she loves.
she also loves to be the lunch prayer at school ( so darn cute )

 we also had a family project..
we thought we all..and by we all i mean kambria, berlyn, josh and i... and yes kambria and berlyn got to paint and color and do whatever they wanted... we made a family canvas that hangs in our living room and i cannot get enough of it..
 

no matter how anal i am sometimes about the house being clean, having things hung in the rights spot and trying to coordinate colors... this is an exception... and is now my favorite thing in our living room ( besides the couches, they are very useful after a long day..although sometimes my butt falls asleep ) anyways.. THERE IT IS!! <3
and i will leave it at that for tonight..



Family is God's greatest masterpiece...
now go paint yours :)

  1. This post is so inspiring! I love it!! I don't know how they do it either, I can't do anything (that's how it feels anyway). I absolutely LOVE that Kambria loves to learn and I hope she carries that quality with her forever! I can't wait to see her again and hear all about the new things she knows! She's always been so interested in stories (like the story I told her about her birth) and wanting to hear them over and over again, I'm not really surprised to is taking such an interest to new information! She's such a smart girl and I am so proud of her!

    And you are a great mom! I love your family and all your family activites!!
