Always Create

"Woman was born to create...in creating she becomes herself, accomplishes her destiny. Her whole life is only an initiation into creative power. To create is not merely to produce a work...it is to give out ones own individuality."-Jeanne De Vietinghoff

Doing Great!

Well the Mullins family had a big looooong day today! Tanner had his surgery this morning and did great! We are so proud of him. He was so brave and well kinda grouchy, LOL . When he woke up from the general anestisha he was very ready to come home. I sure love this little guy! Times like these remind Travis and I how lucky we are that our kids are so healthy and smart and beautiful! Thank you god!

bad news!

So Im cleaning out Gracie's closet, (not an easy task and Tanner comes in and tells me he hurt his finger. Hearing almost daily that something hurts I didnt think twice about it until he showed it to me. He said it didnt hurt to bad but looking at it I knew there was a problem, so we rushed to the urgent care and low and behold , yes it is broken! Well even worse it was broken so bad that we had to go to a orthopedic surgeon which we seen today. BAD NEWS! Tan man has surgery in the morning! My poor baby has to be put under :-( He is being so brave about it though! ohhh and yes he is being spoiled beyond belief! Im on full servant mode and he knows it LOL.
The X ray, look right by the knuckle, thats where the fracture is.


Before the swelling


The face of an angel....ringing the servant bell every 2 minutes!

Playing in the snow at Schweitzer and home!

We have had a few days of snow here and the kids have enjoyed every bit of it! I am having no worries either because my wonderful husband knows how crazy I get when I'm stuck in the house so he put on top of the line studded snow tires on the Suburban! We have been plowing through the snow! Our wonderful friends invited us to their gorgeous house in Sandpoint Idaho to stay and go to Schweitzer. AMAZING is all I have to say! Thank you so much Mario and Norma! You guys are so awsome!

Tanner going down the tube hill!

Brave little Gracie, all I could hear was ahhhhhhhhh

Black and white is so pretty in the snow!

Baby Trev loved the snow, I couldnt keep him out of it!

Christmas 2009

I cant believe it is 2010! This holiday season went by so fast! We had our traditional Christmas, starting with Christmas eve. The Vojta family always gets together for food, drinks..mmmmm, and presents! It is always amazing when we all get together, it is so fun and NEVER EVER dull! I have to say we are the best family in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! Ihope we never break this tradition! On Christmas day Trav and I open gifts with our kiddos and enjoy the morning, Grandpa Dave always comes to take pictures and video ( even though I ABSOLUTLY HATE being photographed in the morning :-))The kids love showing their stuff off to Grandpa tho! Then we head out to have a delishous Linner ( between lunch and dinner) at the Mullins home. It is always unbelievable food! We leave there completly stuffed and head to my parents house and open more gifts! I tell ya the kids ( and Trav and I)are so spoiled, not just with gifts but with all the amazing family in our lives. We are truly blessed! I cant close without saying that this was our first Christmas without our beloved Grandma Dovie and we missed her greatly! It wasnt quite the same but it was still wonderful, just how she would want it!

Our little family Christmas morning!

The girls and I took a nice RELAXING fun weekend together. It was me, Gracie, Mimmi my mom and my aunt Debbie. We had so much fun. Gracie got her first massage, we went on a fun sleigh ride and played in the snow. We shopped and watched the tree lighting which was amazing! here are a few pics!

A picture I love

I take random shots and once and a while there is one I just LOVE, here it is.

Decorating the Tree

We finally decorated the Tree, it was quite fun. The kids love to decorate while Travis and I hand out the orniments. This year we did have to get all new UNBREAKABLE orniments due to a cute little mischevious monkey that runs around our house :-) All in all we love Christmas and take extra time to think about all the things we are blessed for. For instance Tanner says he is most happy for his family, Gracie is most happy about decorating for Christmas and baby Trevis is pretty darn happy about most everything, especially peek a boo! Travis and I are so very thankful for our children who are the biggest blessings in our lives but we are also TRYING to appreciate all the things about each other ( even all the little differences we have) :-) We are so very lucky to have so much love in our lives, we have a big family full of very defferent people but every one person has a special something that adds to the family to make it as great as it is! We love you all and wish the best holiday season for everyone!

Just a happy guy
