We had a great Christmas this year. Steve and I didn't even really ask for anything and we God so blessed. The church bought us a deep fryer, pots and pans, glasses and a gift card to Wal-Mart. It was all stuff that we needed but probably would have waited on getting. It was really awesome and I cried! I have never felt so greatful for anything before in my life.

We always or pretty much always open presents at my mom's on Christmas Eve. I didn't get any picture because my camera batterie was dead. Levi did get three costume, one red spiderman, one ironman, and one black spiderman. He loves to wear them. He looks so cute in them too. Micah loves to wear them too. Micah loves to do whatever big brother does.



On Christmas Eve we also went with some good friends of ours to see Bolt. It was a really cute movie! I suggest going to see it at least renting it. The boys really enjoyed it! Of course I didn't get picture because my camera was broke.


We went over to Steve's mom's house Christmas morning to open presents. It get kind of complicated on the Holidays because every set of parents was you at their house. So we alternate we ate christmas luch with my mom but we went and open presents at Steve's mom's house. we took some time to take pictures of the grandkids that were there.
This is Kathleen, Micah, Haley and Levi.


This is Haley and Kathleen




The boys had so much fun opening presents. There so so much excitement. The loves ripping the paper and seeing what was underneth it. Micah wanted to stop and play with everyone after he opened them! Here is a picture of all the loot the boys got!!




Here is a picture of all the loot the boys got!!



We were so blessed! It wasn't even really about the presents this year. It was about getting to be with our family and friends and Celebrate Jesus birth. It was just an awesome time! Hope you each had a blessed Christmas!

Micah's Birthday

It was brought to my attention that I never blogged about Micah's Birthday party the other day. I had totally forgotten that I hadn't or thought that I already had.

It was a pretty low key birthday party I just invited a few people for church, our family and a few friends! Well not that many showed up, But it turned out to be whole bunch of fun. We had face painting, decorated hats, and danced to Doodle bop music with streamers and played musical chairs. Well I forgot to take pictures. I took a few but forgot to take any of Micah eating his cake or much of anything. I was crazy, because I stayed up until 4:00 in the morning making the cake.

You see my Mother-in-Law was suppose to make it, but ended up not being able to because she didn't have a cake pan. Well me being the resourceful person I am decided that I would just go ahead and do it myself. I took four 9x13 pans to make the cake. Then I took one of the boys' play guitars that is an acoustic and traced it out. then decorated it with candies. it turned out really cute I think.



Here we are decorating hats that I bought from the dollar tree. You get three hats for a dollar.



The kids really enjoy making a craft of some sort. It is very important to keep the busy at a birthday party!! If not you have kids running around and screaming.

Here is the birthday boy! He was sticking something in his mouth I think.

All the kids wanted to help Micah open his presents



This is one of his Favorites it is a doodle bop drum! It is really cute!


As I said before it was a good birthday party! We had fun! It is hard to believe that He is two, and boy does He act like it.

Please pray for baby Stellan!!!

Our little christmas Program!

The little Kids did the manger scene Sunday night. I think it was the cutest Manger Scene ever. Of course, I am not bias because my kids were in it. Micah was a Shepard. He had to have April help him to the stage. From what I was told he didn't really want to do it, but he did a great job once he got out there.


He did try to play with the sheep a couple of time though.

He also tried to come out of his costume a couple of times.

Levi was such a big boy! He walked up there and did great, but then he turned around and saw all the people.



Well, He finally got it together and gave baby Jesus his gifts!


It was funny to watch the kids! Levi and one of the other kids got into it over sheep. Levi thought that the sheep should be together and the other kid didn't want Micah's sheep to be next to this. He kicked the sheep away several time. Before it got to bad it ended.

I made my own back ground!

I made my own background. It doesn't show up right on my computer, but I have problems with other sites. It is an older computer. So let me know how it looks and if it doesn't look right!

My little Man

It is so hard for me to believe that this little man use to be this baby!!



He was definitely a surprise baby. I wasn't really sure how I was going to go with having two so close. I actually cried when I first found out that I was pregnant, but Know I wouldn't take anything in the world for him. He is an amazing little boy. He charms the socks off of people with his smile. He gets into things and just smiles and then when I tell him no the fight and tantrum comes.

Tomorrow is Micah's Second birthday. I don't really know where all the time has gone. I am sad because it seems like time went faster with him than it did with Levi.

Happy Birthday Micah!

Cowboy Christmas

The community we live in had what they called Cowboy Christmas. All of the proceeds went to the angle tree. The angle tree is for people who are in need during the Christmas. We decided that we would help as a church and do a basket ball throw. While Steve was doing that the boys and I went and had fun. The picture above was Levi waiting in line to get his face painted. The picture below is him getting his face painted. She did an excelled job. I forgot to get a picture of it all finished.


We also rode a big train, which i didn't get to take a picture of. It was really fun! Levi loved it. He loves trains still. We also rode a smaller train that was pulled by a four wheeler. It is really neat. We used it for Levi's birthday and The church also used at summer fest that we had during the summer. The kids just love it!!



yes I know they are wearing matching sweater. I think that it is just so cute! I rarely ever do it, so I don't think this one time matters!



They also got there pictures take with Santa, neither of them was too sure about as you can tell in the picture. Micah didn't really want to go to him. I don't know who Santa was but he did a great job.



We also got to go on a buggy ride. We just go a picture of us sitting the buggy. It was really neat. The horses were tired because they had been working for so long. Poor horses!!! The boys were super excited out the ride.



Micah had way too much junk. He kept getting into the candy. He loves candy canes. He was eating the candy through the wrapper!


They also had it where you paid ten dollar and would get you pictures made. The set up was really cute! The boys behaved really well too! With as much as I take their pictures they should though.






We had a great time! It really was a good weekend.

This weekend is Micah's birthday party so it will be fun! Look for picture to come.

Not Me! Monday

I did not have a melt down the other day when I went and attempted to take pictures of the boys and didn't go once I finally got them dressed!

I did not enjoy being away from the boys Friday night when we had a girls night and watched a bunch of movies that made us cry!

Micah did not flush something down the toilet and we totally don't know what it is and when he did it.

That is all the things that I didn't do this past week. Join in if you feel like it.

Well, We got our Christmas tree all trimmed. This is the first for us in a couple of years because of one thing or another. I don't think we have had a Christmas tree in a couple of years. The boys had a lot of fun with it though. I took pictures like I always do. We had fun and we broke about five ornaments. The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves too, and of the most part are now staying out of the tree. Levi is sure to always remind us to plug it in when he wants it on. I just love how the pictures of them turned out.

Things I am thankful for

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is time where we concentrate or we should always concentrate on the things we are thankful for.

1) I am thankful for My savior who died for me. With out Jesus I am nothing. He is my everything. He has giving me so much. Luke 12:48 Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given. (nlt)

2) I am so thankful for my husband and my boys. God has truly blessed with with two beautiful health boys. They are the light of my life. They keep me going and laughing. My husband is a great father and pastor. I am so proud of Him and what God is doing through him.

3) I am so grateful for the church that God has given us the privilege of pa storing. We are so blessed. We have the best people. God is doing so much is out church. We are a small but abundantly blessed church.

4) I am very thankful for my extended family. We are fairly close to both sides. We have had our ups and downs be we always manage to come together and enjoy the holidays. My mom and my sisters are the best. I love my family we have endured some hard times but we come together and help each other through it.

I would keep on going about the things that i am grateful for. God has blessed me so much. I may not have the fanciest car the nicest house, but it keeps me dry and warm. We may not make a whole bunch of money we have everything we need. Sometimes I get caught up in the fact that we don't have whole lot of nice things but we have more that a whole lot of other people and that keeps me in check.

Hope you all have a happy thanksgiving and take time to be grateful for what you do have not matter how much!

Not Me Monday!

I did not intentionally try to get the boys to stay with my sister the other night so that I could have a break. Which totally worked.

I did not have to hide my face the other day when we spanked Levi on the bottom and He went down the hall saying well almost crying "Don't do that to me, don't do this to me. like this" All the while walking down the hall spanking his own bottom.

I did not neglect my house work this pass week and have fifty million load of clothes to do.

I am not excited about Christmas this year and want to go ahead and start decorating and the only thing not holding me back is the fact that I don't have a tree because I haven't gotten it from my mother-in-law.

I have not been letting Levi wear is power ranger costume almost everyday because he loves playing dress-up. I am not really thinking about getting him a batman and a spider man costume for Christmas.

Micah did not flush a pair of Levi's underwear in the toilet and they did not some how go all the way down and are in the septic tank.

Link up to Mckmoma's blog if you would like to participate.

My sining boys

We went to a birthday party and the boys were singing and play musical instruments like. We had a lot of fun. It was a karaoke party. They had one other those star stations. The boys had a lot of fun with it. they can seen them selves on TV while they dance and sing.



The birthday party we went to was one of my best friends and our sons are only about three months apart. They are buddies. Levi told me the other night that he wanted to go see Christian.





I really do pray that the boys always enjoy music and that they have musical talent because Steve nor I are. Right now they joy playing around on toy guitars, drums, and pianos.






We are always singing in the car or at home. Micah goes around singing "lalalalala lalalala" for the song "Every Move I Make." It really is too cute. Levi sing "Lord's Army Yes Sir" and even solutes. We sing various other songs but those a a few of there favorites.



Micah even got a hold of some of the birthday presents that were for Christian. I thought this was too cute of a picture not to share.

Halloween pictures

This year was a fun Halloween for us. Levi was old enough to enjoy it and Micah just followed his brother's lead. They both looked so cute. Levi was a power ranger. That is what I get for waiting until the day of to buy his costumes. We weren't really sure what were going to do for the kids. Micah was Monkey it was Levi's costume from last year. I just passed it down. I don't know If I am going to be able to do that with Levi's costume this year or not because he still wears it almost every day to play it. It is really funny but annoying at the same time.
Here is a picture of Levi.

Levi was even rolling in the floor and kicking like a power ranger.

Here is picture of Micah. He was a monkey. Which was really fitting because he climb on everything and is into everything. We call him a monkey all the time.



They were so tired at the end of the night they were dragging there bags they were so cute.


Here is one really cute picture of Micah with Levi's mask on. He put it on upside down.


We had lots of fun and they were both really cute and I am not bias because I am momma either.

What now

www.ag.org/top/index.cfm

The above link is the web address to a video the the Superintend of the Assemblies of God recorded before the results of the election came out. He Actually recorded Oct 27. He purposefully said that we need to pray for the government now and we as Christians need to pray for a revival to break out across our nation so that souls could be won. Our job as Christians is to win souls not elections. He said all of this better than I am.

I am not sure what the future holds, but I know the one who does. That is God. I put my trust and faith in HIM. He sets things in motions. He sets up kings and kingdoms and HE takes down. So it is time to Pray for out nation and submit our selves to the authority that God has placed over us. It is time to go and work in the fields and harvest lost souls. It is time to Pray like we never have before because they day of the Lord is coming.

Fall Feast

Last night at church was redid church service and had a time of fellowship and games for the kids. We has all sort of games for the kids to play plus games for the Adults. Some of the Adults played Yatzee and others played Domino's. We had hot dogs, popcorn, nachos and LOTS of candy.
