If you have time, listen to this!

Hi everyone.....hey, if you guys have a second, listen to this following clip-its not video, just audio, so make sure the sound is turned up...its awesome, they played it during church today, and I had to put it on here-it sums it all up from the mouth of a little boy....here is the story behind it:
"(A FrankLozano.com Production) Little did I know when I was given the audio to this phone call that it would become SO HUGE. When I produced this video, I knew it was special to ME, but never would I have guessed when typing the text and editing the music that it would literally touch MILLIONS. I am proud to have put this video together for the world to see and hear. We have had a lot of requests to replay the phone call that Pastor Mike shared during our church service on Sunday, Nov. 11th, 2007. Here you'll find the video clip that I created just for you. After our church service I placed the video on YouTube so that you can watch it and share with family and friends.Logan is a 13 year-old boy who lives on a ranch in a very small town in Nebraska. Logan listens to Christian Radio station 89.3FM KSBJ which broadcasts from Houston, TX. Logan called the radio station distraught because he had to take down a calf . His words have wisdom beyond his years.Since airing the audio of the phone call and now the making of the video clip, it has taken on a life of its own. People are forwarding it all over the world. We encourage you to share the love of Christ with anyone you can.

Logan, the Sky Angel Cowboy!

A White Christmas!!

It was so exciting to have a white Christmas, I honestly can't remember the last time that happened! The kids were so excited and Emma even abandoned opening her presents to go play in the snow! My moms house sits at a little higher elevation, so there was about a good 3-4 inches by late afternoon! Fun Fun!
Ben and Dad just as it started coming down!

My nephew Jackson checking out the snow...

Me and Benjamin-we went out just long enough to take the picture...it was cold!

My moms house covered in snow!

Ausin and Emma had so much fun....I think they threw more snowballs

at me then each other :-)

....And then things got WILD!

By the end of the day, I guess everyone got a second wind, or just got a little stir-crazy :-) The "boys" decided to play some hoops and try and outdo each other with their wonderful moves(ahem....)! The kids got in on the action too!
Dave flying through the air (so graceful)

JD going in for the slam......

....and Emma jumping into the beanbag from the 5th step up!

Oh, so sick.....

We got hit HARD with the flu bug this weekend, and let me tell you, it was NOT a pretty sight...I think Dave and I both looked at each other and wondered how we were going to get through it- its just not the same being sick when you're a parent- you basically just have to suck it up and pray that the good Lord will have mercy and take away your sense of smell :-) It came out of the blue and hit poor Benjamin first, I won't go into details but lets just say it sent Dave and Emma running from the room....Then, at 12:30am it hit Emma, and about 3 hours later it hit me.... and as I write this Dave has been doubled over in bed... the only other little tidbit I will mention without grossing anyone out is that on Saturday we changed 16 poopy diapers of poor little Benji..... Anyway, I took this picture because in the midst of it all, it made me laugh.....this is how Dave had to change Ben's diaper when it was his turn.....I love how Ben thinks its funny even though he feels awful :-) I hope none of you get it, and if you already have- I'm sorry!

Good Job Benji!!!

The only good thing to come out of this weekend of being sick is that Benjamin took his FIRST SOLO STEPS!!! We can't believe how big he's getting already, and he was so proud of himself for walking from mom to dad, and back again! Way to go Buddy! Look out everybody, here he comes!!!
Here he is getting his balance.....

And here he comes!!!......

Emma took this of me and Ben-both the kids are growing too fast!

It's looking like Christmas at the Hughes house :-)

Emma's gingerbread house!!!

Benjamin LOVED playing with the ornaments- so shiny, he just couldn't keep his little hands off em! :-)

Here's our tree...we had to put it up on a table because of the little guy :-) Emma loved decorating it this year! She was a great helper!!

In honor of my dad....

Well, today is my dad's birthday, and just like every other day, I miss him so much.... we all do...But on a day like today, I just really wish I could give him a huge hug... My mom and sisters and I were able to spend this weekend together, and it was so fun to have a couple nights kid free and hanging out with the girls :-) My dad was never really into birthdays, but he loved being together, so this is the best way we can think of to celebrate his birthday! Thanks girls, it was a fun weekend :-) So, in honor of my dad, I have posted a Roger Miller song, who was one of his favorites, along with Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and the list goes on and on.... he loved the old country music.... And, for those of you who knew him well, this will make you smile....Here's to you dad!
