Happy Birthday My Sweet Girl!

It is hard to believe that you are 7 years old today..... I am so proud of the little girl you have grown into! I hope that your birthday weekend celebration was as special to you as is was for me! I love you sweet angel!

John & Kate....

Until I have eight children and live my life in front of cameras for the whole world to judge me, I will not judge or speculate who is right or wrong in this situation.

I feel that this is a sad story and every one is different.

Who are we to say that one character flaw is worse than another.

Yes, Kate is bossy, but do you have to handle 8 kids at a time? most likely not.

How many times do we get frustrated with our husbands and we only have a few?

I think that this family was doing the best that they can.....

My heart and prayers are with the both of them.

And I only hope that all the viewers of this show will also pray for this family's well being!
SORRY, not trying to offend anyone.This is just my perspective.

Happy Birthday My Love!

God Gave A Gift To The World When You Were Born!

I wish you the happiest of birthdays and many, many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do!

I am so thankful to have you in my life!

Happy Birthday Joshua Howard!

Ebay Finds!!!!

I have just purchased some new items for the baby on Ebay!! I got a great deal on these name brand items!!

Here is my NEW Chicco Stroller! I have done so much research and had it down to this one and another one by Graco. Both are great! I even "test drived" both of them and liked the Chicco one better. So I went to Ebay to see by chance if they had one..... YES THEY DID!!! Although these strollers are expensive, I got it at a very discounted price and HEY I DESERVE IT RIGHT?!?!!

Then I got this Combi bouncer that has music, and three different vibrating speeds! Also got this more that half off!!

Lastly, I got this HANDMADE diaper bag, COURTESY OF MY MOTHER (thanks Mom)!! It's not too girly right??? It is blue and I am the one holding it right?? Oh well I LOVE IT!

I am in PAIN.......................

So the last couple days I have been really enjoying this weather! I rearranged my garage, cleaned out my front flower bed, and planted some new beautiful hastas. BUT, yesterday as I was digging these huge holes to put the hastas in I think I may have pulled a muscle in my stomach.

Last night I was in so much pain that I debated going to the hospital three times. Today it has lessened, but still very uncomfortable. I am going to wait till tomorrow and if I am still in a lot of pain I am going to the doctors.

* The baby is moving just fine and no bleeding has occurred, so I think the injury is purely muscular and mine not the baby's.

I will keep you posted.....

The Sun Is Shining!!

Today is a good day!

Hopefully I can get out and do some gardening today!

I get a TIME OUT!!!

I will have to admit that as parents I believe that we all need a TIME OUT once in a while. I believe I NEED one now. Luckily this weekend is my women's retreat with all my friends from church. YYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! I leave early Friday morning and it will be a weekend of fellowship with other women and hearing God's word, also some shopping!

So my hope for all of you that may need a TIME OUT is that you get your chance soon!

Tired Of Waiting...

We are all excited (except maybe Gracie, she really wanted a sister), but are eagerly awaiting our new arrival!

And let me tell you this...... THERE IS NO DOUBT THIS BABY IS A BOY... Even the tech said WOW what a man. (even wrote it on the ultrasound pic, he he)

My husband was very proud!!!

Just Waiting

2 MORE HOURS............................................

Half Way Through.....

20 WEEKS TODAY!!!!

I find out on Tuesday whether to buy some pink paint or blue!

Will let you know one way or the other!!!!

I Felt It!!!!!!!!!

I felt the baby kick for the first time!!!!! I have been waiting and waiting, actually starting to worry, but not any longer. I have felt a little something but didn't really know if it was the baby. BUT this time I saw my stomach JUMP, it was so AWESOME!!! Yeah!!!! I love this!!!

Looking forward to the weekend...

because I am seriously getting depressed over this weather:(

I need SPRING to be here. I love jeans and sweatshirt weather, or just needing a light jacket:)

My flowers are coming up, but NO sunshine to warn them up....

HE HAS RISEN!!!!!

MATTHEW 28 1-6

1After the Sabbath, around dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to take a look at the burial site.2Suddenly there was a powerful earthquake, because an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, approached the stone, rolled it away, and was sitting on top of it. 3His appearance was bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4Trembling from fear, even the guards themselves became catatonic.
5Responding to the women, the angel said, “Stop being frightened! I know you're looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.

I am thankful that I have a risen Lord! Praise God for giving his ONLY son for all of us sinners!

Today I remember what truly matters in my life and that is my personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST!

No one or thing can take that away from me!

Happy Birthday Adam!!
