Shout out to my fellow bloggers!

I was surfing the blog world and to my excitement Sara posted another post! I always enjoy reading hers and seeing what she is up to. Sara and I have been friends for awhile now about 5 years to be exact. The fun thing about our friendship is we have probably only really hung out in person about 5 times or so. We got pregnant around the same time with our first and became instant pin pals. Over the years she has encouraged me with scripture and she can take credit for naming two of my children (Ava & Norah). She has great talent in home decorating and makes awesome signs. And if you continue to Some of you have visited her site. Click here if not.

Anyway back to my story.... well one of my friends was commenting on her post and said that she wanted a sign from herself. And the verse was from phil. 4:8 Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. DUH! Is pretty much what I said when I read it today. I just love how the Lord brought that to me. I seriously have been thinking about it most of the day. I have so much to be thankful for, but lately I have been dwelling on the not so good things. Tomorrow is a new day. And like another friend said....may I wake up with a song for Him on my lips!

    Thanks for the shout out Amber. It was so sweet, from a sweet friend and it made for a sweet day! :)

    I've been praying for you and I pray you have been able to dwell on what is good today. I love that idea for a sign by the way.

    Oh and yes to the gift certificate idea. I'm honored, flattered...truly.

    Love,Sara

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
