Back to blogging...

2010-06-22T14:05:00.000-07:00

Well, I am going to start blogging again! I take pics and have posts in my head but that is as far as they go! So maybe I can just share a picture a day, unless something great and exciting is going on!

I love this hula girl! She was my white elephant gift last year at our Life Group Christmas party. I fought for her and won! The best thing is if you look at the back side of her...you see the top part of her back side! Makes me smile everytime I see her.

Stay At Home Mom!

Yes. That is what I am. For the first time ever. I can go eat lunch with the kiddos. I can volunteer at the school. I can attend all the extra's. And don't have to ask anyone! Thank you God! You are sooo good!

My "baby" is now 6 years old. He is in kindergarten. WOW! I never thought that could happen. I will post pictures later of his birthday. Nothing fancy...just family! He did go shopping for his birthday this year instead of us buying him presents. And he loved it! New DS game, ipod shuffle, new shoes, t-shirts, star wars sword, marshmallow gun, slinky...lots of new cool things. This was with all of his birthday money. Not just from us. Both of my kids like the shopping thing now. It sure makes things a lot easier. And they get exactly what they want!

Compassion

2009-05-31T16:31:00.000-07:00

We recently decided to sponsor a child from Compassion. His name is Patrick Mwangi Njuguna. He is from Africa. This is a GREAT organization if you feel the need to help a child in need. (It is easy to sponsor a child, just visit their website at www.compassion.com) These children so desperately need our help. We get caught up in what television show we are going to watch or which restaurant we want to eat at...that we don't think about how the "non Americans" live. It would be simpler if we could just get rid of a lot of the worldly things that we just don't have to have to live our lives! Spending time with our families...playing outside...reading...just enjoying life with each other. Okay, I will get off my soap box, but seriously consider checking out this organization. It is something that has been on my heart. Have a GREAT week!

Stampin' Up!

2009-03-20T11:20:00.000-07:00

I went stampin last night and had a BLAST! I am hooked. It was the most fun I have had in a long time. It was a blessing to be around friends and just be yourself. Thank you Heather! I am so glad I got to come to Pam's last night. Looking forward to more stampin nights!

Update!

Well, the running is going well. We are up to running 3 minutes and walking 3 minutes. I am not dying yet. I have hurt my knee...but it is not that bad. I have lost 11 pounds and we will just say several inches from different areas of my body. YEA! Clothes fit better, I feel better...It is amazing what a little exercise will do for a girl.

Women Can Run! Jonesboro!

2009-02-24T11:28:00.000-08:00

I can officially say that I am a "Runner"! Women Can Run has started and last night was the first night. I did well. I am not sore. And I have been watching what I eat the last couple of weeks. This "better me" is looking up. I have a BIG birthday coming up in May and I don't want to greet it with this body. Sooooo....I am exercising/running and watching out for bad foods and snacks. It seems to be working in the right direction. I will keep you posted.

Happy Groundhog Day!

2009-02-02T08:21:00.000-08:00

Well unfortunately we have another six weeks of winter weather! The Groundhog saw his shadow. That is not good. Especially since we just went through a week of ice crap! No electric, no cable, no internet, NO NOTHING! With children, that is just not fun. I have pictures...and I will post them...but haven't had a computer to work with. So maybe now, new week...back to "normal"...is that possible?? And for those of you who know about my "appointment" tomorrow...say lots of prayer! I really need you praying for this. More to come later.

Tis The Season For Brotherly (and Sisterly) LOVE

2008-12-20T06:27:00.001-08:00

I was going through photos to see which one I wanted to use for this post...well I stumbled across this one. It is funny. The reason being is the comment that was made after the picture was taken. Erin states,"Mom, see we REALLY do love each other." And then Aden replies, "WE DO???" I couldn't stop laughing and they didn't understand why it was so funny. Out of the mouths of babes! And just look at the love that surrounds Christmas...and Presents!

Waiting on Christmas...

2008-12-08T15:48:00.000-08:00

Well, I finally put some pictures on here from my new camera. This was one of the many poses that we did, trying to get the perfect picture. But poor Horton, she looks scared! Like I was threatening her! I promise, I just used the simple sit, stay comand...It worked for the kids...

Erin, my lovely 10 year old daughter, has a new hamster. A teacher at her school had baby hamsters to give away. So, you guessed it! That is what she picked for her Christmas present from her Grandparents. (They send us money to buy them presents, so the kids get what they want.) So Erin got a hamster home and all the fixins! I picked up her new baby tonight after work. She has named her Piper. She is soooo tiny! She is totally cute and very sweet. So our family has grown to 7. Michael, Me, Erin, Aden, Milo (cat), Horton (dog), and Piper (hamster). Our cup runneth over...

Officially Christmas Time Again!

2008-11-29T18:40:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays! I got my Chritmas present early this year! I am now the proud new owner of a "Grown Up" camera! YEA! I finally have a camera that takes good pictures and doesn't die on me as soon as you take a couple of pics. So I am learning all the new tricks and fancys that this bad boy has! Now I will be able to load some "current" family pictures on my new blog! Merry Christmas to me (just a little early). More to come...stay tuned...

DAVID CROWDER BAND CONCERT TONITE!!!!!!

2008-11-20T06:33:00.000-08:00

Ok, the date is a little off...but I had to put a picture of who the David Crowder Band actually was! We are going to Memphis tonight to see them in concert. I am so excited...15th Row Center! Thanks to my parents for picking the kids up from daycare and keeping them into the night for us to be able to attend the glorious event. This is part of our anniversary present...tomorrow is our anniversary. 11 Years!

Wordless Wednesday

I think this says it all...I love this pic!

In the mood for Christmas...

2008-11-18T08:40:00.001-08:00

I am totally in the mood for Christmas this year! Last year, I think I put my tree up two weeks before Christmas and then took it down the day after. I know, I have children and shouldn't have done that, but I did. This year is different...I already have my Christmas stuff out of the attic. I can't wait!
