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!

Tired...
tired of life being this way
tired of feeling like I want to scream all the time
tired of crying
tired of whining
tired of complaining
tired of raising my kids all alone

God right now my cup is empty
I need some strength to continue on
I am confused and angry
Be the lifter of my head
Give me hope and purpose
I just feel I can't go on with it being this way anymore

Ta'da!



We rapped it up last week. Took a lot longer than I wanted it to, but thankfully it is done for all those little trick-r-treaters to knock on our door! Sorry for no before pictures....those were wiped off my computer. Now for some grass ;)

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)

Flashback Friday


A few weeks ago my sister called and wanted to get together. I really don't like to hang out with her because I am always wondering what her motive is. We seem to have a good relationship when we aren't talking. Usually she wants something or whatever. To my surprise I had a really good time. It seems as though she is staying clean and she also got her teeth fixed which is a huge bonus for her! My brother Skylar popped in for a bit too which was nice. I am hopeful that we can grow into a healthy relationship.......again hopeful :)

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!)
