Tues & Wed.& Thurs. Thanks!!

The finished product!! Nothing amazing, I know but it was important to me!!
I was SO mad at Erick for taking this photo. He thought the whole thing was so so funny, and told me that someday I would be happy he took this picture, he was right...but don't tell him I said that!!

My Momma and Daddy!!!

Soooo I did not get online on Tues. or Wed. So it is now Thurs and I have a lot of catching up to do!!
I am going to do this one a little different....I am going to write about one big thing that I am so thankful for!
I am thankful for my Momma!!! My Mother is such an amazing person. One of my most favorite memories of her is when we were little and in bed. Sometimes she would go to the piano and start playing music. Which ever of us kids heard her first would get the rest and we would take our blankies and pillows and go lay on the floor in what we called the Piano room and listen to her play and fall asleep. My poor Dad would then carry us all to our beds. It was a special time for our whole family. I can also remember my Dad sitting on the couch or in the rocking chair just smiling and enjoying my Mothers music as well.
Another favorite for me is on Derick's 1st birthday. I was so excited that my first baby was turning 1. It is kind of a huge milestone, so I wanted everything to be perfect! We were having a huge party. So I was making the cakes and I read the recipe wrong and the cakes totally burnt and overflowed in the oven. To say I was destraught would be a huge understatement. So what do I do first??? Call my Mom!! She told me to relax and that all would be ok. I then heard her hollar to my Dad "Honey does your plane have fuel?" She then returned to me and said "honey don't you worry about a thing. I have already started getting everything out to make you a cake, Daddy is going to get his airplane ready and we will be there with the cake in an hour and a half. That will give you enough time to still decorate them right?" Seriously who does that??? My Mom does!!! (Not to short change my Dad he is amazing too but this is not about him!! ;) I will to his post another time!)
I have NEVER in my life questioned my Moms love for me. She has been there for me through everything in my life. She never misses a beat when it comes to her children or anyone that she loves for that matter. Actually she would do anything for anyone that I love even if she does not know them!! No LIE!! My Mom is one of the most selfless people I know. She gives of herself fully to others and to the Lord. I am thankful that Emily Lynette Wright is my Mother! My prayer is that one day my children will feel as loved and devoted to by me, as I do my Momma!!

So I had to get the 4th photo from the 4th file on my computer and post it!! I was so excited when I saw what picture it was! This is one of my BEST FRIENDS Courtney's wedding!! Karina, Courtney and I have beed best friends since HighSchool and have been through so much together. We have always been there for eachother no matter what is going on in our lives. Both of these girls has been at the birth of all of my children except Paiz...she took too long! And I have been there for the birth of their babies too! I love these two girls so much and am so so thankful they are my friends & that I know that no matter how much time has passed we can pick up right where we left off like it has only been a day!

Soccer!!

Paiz and her Daddy!! ( I just loved this picture and had to throw it in!)
So Derick started soccer again this last month. His team has pretty much all his best buddies on it! They have a really great time playing all together. The games are pretty exciting too...this is far better than his first year when he was 4, we have ruled out sports for the kids until they are at least 5 and kind of understand what they are doing!! Derick is really good at sports, he is kind of a natural athlete. He is VERY competitive, which is good and bad. He and Hunter keep track of how many goals each one gets every game to see what one did better!! (they don't keep score at these games, which if you ask me is totally lame!! These kids need to know how to loose and win!) ANYWAYS...
I know I am posting a lot right now but we had a very busy weekend!!




Judy's Unbirthday!!

Keylee enjoying some of Judys "unbirthday" cake!
All the kiddos waiting for Judy to walk in the door to yell SUPRISE!!





Judy and Paizly she just loves her Paizly!!



Kash also enjoyed the cake!!!
We have a neighbor named Judy that my kids have kind of adopted as another Grandma. They love going to her house because she always has candy and snacks and juice boxes for them. They usuallly go over and sit and watch cartoons and eat popcorn with Judy. I call on her all the time to come and hang out with the kids while I am running back and forth to school or soccer etc. Judy is always more than willing to come over and be with the kiddos. She loves them so much and always says "I don't understand why your kids like me so much" I tell her it is because she loves them and they know it!! So anyways, being the wonderful neighbor that I am...I totally forgot Judys birthday this year!! So we had a little "unbirthday suprise" party for Judy. We got a few balloons and made a cake and asked her to come over. The kids all yelled suprise and thought it was great!! So thanks Judy for all the times you come over and help out we appreciate you and are so glad that your our neighbor!!

This is my LIFE!! & I love it!

So tody is Vetrans Day so all the kids have NO SCHOOL!!! We have a huge backyard that the neighborhood has discovered so usually after school this is the crew that comes to play give or take a few. There are actually 3 more kiddos not pictured in this photo as they were too busy playing for my photo op!! Alltogether today we have 18 kids here!!! They are all having a great time. I took 10 of them to the park with me today for a pik-nik, just to try to preserve my home for a little part of the day!! I guess you could say we have the neighborhood KOOLAID House. I love kids, sometimes it is a little much but today has really been a great day with a lot of friends and a lot of fun!!! I just thought it would be fun to show everyone what an average day at the Farabee house is...I am still sain thanks to my dear friend Sarah for bringing me a fountain Dr Pepper!! Your the best...all the children thank you, for this reason alone they will ALL live at least until tomorrow! :)

It happened.....she's 1 and I'm OK with it!!

Paizly and her cousin Blayne share a birthday. Thanks Auntie Amber for our cakes!!
Here"s my girl...a big one year old!!!

Here she is in all her perfections at 3 days old.


She weighd 9lbs 1oz. My friend Jenny Biggs does the most amazing newborn photo shoots! Her blog is http://www.jennybiggs.typepad.com/ check her out!!




So Nov. 2nd came and went like any other day...EXCEPT it wasn't just any other day it was a very special day for my baby girl! She is now a little 1 year old!! I have come to terms with this fact and did enjoy the day very much! We had a double birthday party with her cousin Blayne with whom she shares a birthday. All her cousins except Kyle and Britt were there to celebrate. She is such a blessed baby girl with so much family that adore her. Papa Roland and Grandma get the prize for the FAVORITE gift, a stuffed puppy dog that claps as it sings BINGO! Paiz is obsessed!! However, to be PC, we would like to thank everyone for the gifts you gave her. (they just have nothing on that dang dog!However, in all honesty, I will never forgive Papa and Grandma for it!!)
Paiz, just started walking a couple days before her birthday and she thinks she can run with the big kids now. She also has 4 teeth!! She say's Mama and Daddy! She loves to dance when any music is played which is darling. She is a big ole chunk of love weighing in at 24lbs!! And my favorite thing she does right now is when you hold her she lays her hand on your back and pats it until you pat hers. If you stop she pats you again until you start again. If she is upsed she will come up to you and pat your leg until you pat her back. It is so sweet!! I love my baby girl so much and am so thankful for her 1st year of life and every moment I share with her, she is an amazing baby with such a sweet nature. I pray that her little life will be full of peace, love and happiness that she will stay close to the Lord throughout all her life. I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with my children, I do know that I am blessed to be a Mother. It is a divine gift that I cherish and strive to improve at each day. Thanks to everyone for your comments about my psyco breakdown's but really... I am better now. I do it with each child!! It's just what I do!!
Love to you all!!
