Realizations!

I have been thinking alot lately (scary I know) but I have realized some things!!

  • There is never enough time in the day to get everything done that needs to be done (not that this is new to me, but I am always reminded of it)
  • There is a NEVER ending pile of clothes at my house.. and it never goes away!!!
  • I have 2 precious boys that I am very grateful for and wouldn't trade for anything in this world!
  • I have the BEST husband a girl could ask for and wouldn't trade him for anything in this world either!!
  • That if May doesn't hurry up and get here I might have a nervous break down with everything going on!!
  • I am tired of the Rain... I am ready for the sunshine and warmer weather that is here to stay for a while!!
  • I have the best family and friends I could ask for and I am truly thankful for that!!
  • I am never thankful enough for the things that I have, there are so many people that have far less!

That is just everyday things!! But I have been doing deeper thinking as well!! I have been reading some blogs of people that I don't know who they are but let me tell you, they INSPIRE me!! They are very godly people who have a GREAT STRONG faith in our Lord and Savior! They have been put through some really tough times, in the past and present, and always see the positive in everything and always remind everyone that God is in control and they are content with that!! They are always trying to reach out and touch someone with their stories in hopes of bringing a lost soul to the Lord! And it INSPIRES me! I was raised as a Christian and in a christian home. I have to admit though, I have always strayed and come back and strayed and come back. But I have come to realize that I have never truly had a deep nurturing relationship with my lord and savior! That hurts to say, but it is the truth! The more I read all of these stories and how they have just great faith and see their daily walk with the Lord, it makes me hungry for the same! I want to be a better Christian, of course none of us are perfect, but I want to be better! I want to be that Christian wife and mother that the lord would have me to be! I want to always be able to look to him for the answers that I need and know and feel secure that he is going to take care of things. He might not take care of it in the way that I want, or that I ask him too, but he'll always take care of it in the way that he sees fit! I want to feel assurance in that and be ok with that!! He knows what all of us have gone through in the past, what we are going through now and what we will go through in the future! He knew all of that before any of us were thought of!

So I ask that you keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I seek to be the better christian that he would have me to be and to have a closer walk with him!

God Bless!

Prayer Request!!

My mother-in-law, Nell, was diagnosed a while back with Fallopian Tube Cancer. I can't give a time, because I can't remember, but it was sometime early last year or early summer, give or take. She went through chemo and radiation and went into remission probably fall or early winter of last year. Unfortunately at Christmas time last year, she was told that the cancer was back. She had to start treatments all over again. She just finished 4 of the 6 treatments of chemo that she has to do. The bad news is that between the 3rd treatment and the 4th treatment, her ac 125 numbers (the cancer cell indicators) are up. Which means the cancer is growing and not shrinking!
We need prayers that the Lord will heal her and make this cancer go away! If you have a few minutes, please take the time to say a prayer for Nell, as well as my father-in-law, Joe! And please continue to keep them in your prayers!

Military Museum















Happy Early Birthday Blake!

We celebrated Blake's birthday a little early this year. It falls in the middle of the week! We went to Fun Time Skate!! Happy 6th Birthday Blake Man!!



Yes, Ryan and I decided that we would skate... The thing is that Ryan did MUCH better than me! Right after this I fell.....for the second time...
this is the after pic!! I fell on my side and everyone wanted to take pics..

So needless to say... I give up on skating...I'm too old for it!!!!

Very proud of that sweet girl!!

We had a great trip and visit. It was a LONG drive there, especially when it rained all but 20 minutes of the 8.5 hr drive. But the boys were GREAT!!! We got there about 5:30, and Clay had no idea that we were coming. He was quite shocked when I knocked on the door and he opened it to see the boys and I!! There are lots of pics.. so sit back and enjoy!!


It never works getting everyone to look at the camera!

Eric and ReRe drove through the night, so they were tired when they got there, and you see Eric was loving on Katelyn and fell asleep and we couldn't resist taking a pic!

4 generations!


Colton was loving holding her

so was Pierce!
Very proud Aunt...


Love Love Love this pic!
We were going to take the boys to Chuck E Cheese to play but the line was way too bad! So we settled for McDonald's playground instead. Didn't take any pics though, was too busy loving on this sweet baby girl!! She is going to be SO rotten!!! Wish she was closer to me...

We took the boys to the museum on base that had all the military trucks, planes and helicopters. I'll put those pics in another post!
