And then there is this one. The Lord laughed when this one dropped into my lap. He is BUSY,full of energy, loves pranks, and pulling one over on you. I call him my sour patch kid, he‘s a little sour but then so sweet. He still wants his momma to hold him and read to him before being tucked in and I will hold onto that for as long as I can!

Many of you have watched my babies grow up so I might as well update everyone. This was the last run of Haiden‘s junior year. Next year banners will fly every race with his face to honor him and his fellow senior runners. Scholarships are coming in and my mommas heart is so sad and so proud. Slow down time. It‘s going too fast.

kspenmoll I feel for you! It does go too fast. 5mo

I have become MIA from MOST of the internet lately. It was a hard but also amazing year for my family. Some of y‘all know May and June were scary for me. But everyone is thriving and my husband made not only one but two of my dreams come true. I have a beautiful little free library AND chickens. Here are 4 of the many. I‘m happier than ever, just want time to slow down with my babies (and to catch up on my reading!).

The past two weeks have been beyond crazy. I‘m sorry I‘m so late opening/posting. My little man got sick (and is still fighting it) and had to stay in from trick or treating while my other two got to go. This package legit saved him from a full on melt down. Between the jelly window clings, and the awesome diy lanterns (and Shrek‘s Spooky Tales on tv) you seriously saved Halloween. I LOVE my books and can‘t wait to start them! THANK YOU!!!

I was so scared no one would show up. That was not the case though, we ended up getting 37 books into kids hands in ONE afternoon. I‘m so excited I get to bless children this way!

Just in case y‘all were worried, he is officially an inside ONLY kitten now. And he has Penelope to carry him wherever his heart does and does not desire. She informed us that β€œJesus sent her Fluffball so we can‘t return him” ..... I‘m not opening that can of worms with her so yes, he‘s ours. Haha ❀️

At this point I am just going to change my name to The Manzi Zoo. After we rescued Millie a little over a year ago I thought we were DONE with trying to save the world. But NOPE... we had been hearing a dog squeak toy for about a week in the back bushes of our yard. Penelope swore it was a cat (she was right!) Meet the newest Litten Kitten Fluff Ball Renegade! #Littenkitten #catsoflitsy

Ask me how proud I am of Miss Penny Pie?! A few of you know she has been struggling this year with her reading as she is going through eye therapy. She has two eye turns and only 1% depth perception. And yet she persevered.... don‘t know why it says 2017 BUT it is what it is. She went back into a school setting with only 2 months left to go and NAILED it.
Penelope was born an old artistic soul and I am so grateful to be her mom.

@Kshakal I am not going to lie. That candy bar didn‘t make it an hour out of the postal packaging. Penny and I ate it during our spelling studies haha. It was a great motivator for both of us. I‘m in love with the pot holders. Thank you so much!! #coffeebeanbookclub #yallmyfav!
