Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long. (Psalm 25:4-5)

  1. I have been saying this passage over and over again to myself this weekend. Thank you for posting it, it's really what I needed to see and read. :)

  2. Hi Amber!
    I'm so glad you asked about my debt countdown because I am so passionate about it and because I needed to update it! =)
    We read Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey just over 4 years ago and have been working at getting rid of all our debt. We have blasted away a TON...but still have quite a bit of student loans left to go. It is taking us awhile as we don't make much and as I'm sure you are very aware of...a growing family requires alot of money! =) But we were just blessed with my husband getting a new job and hopefully we will be able to pay it off in the next three years or less God willing! The past year or so we have only been able to put a little above what we are required to pay on the loans...so it was going to take many more years at that rate! It has been a road filled with a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but already we are seeing the benefits...and A LOT more peace! =)
    Are you also trying to get debt free?
    I would love to answer more questions if you have any! You can email me at:threetreephotography@hotmail.com
    (I only give out my business addy online because I don't know who might find it!)
    Hope you are doing well and enjoying all your adorable blessings!

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!)
