Not Me! Monday

I love the thought of Not Me! Monday. It came from MckMama. I don't know how good I will be at it, but I thought I would give it a try.

I did not just sit on the couch and try to sleep this morning while my children watch Mickey Mouse Club house. I certainly did not stay up till 12:00 a.m watching a movie with my loving husband. I did not stay up till 1:00 in the morning cleaning because we had some Friends coming from Oklahoma and I wanted my house to be clean from top to bottom.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We really didn't paint my kitchen and living room in six hours on Saturday and my husband certainly didn't step in the paint can, which didn't make a huge mess. We didn't scrap what paint we could off the floor and use on the walls. We didn't forget to paint the part under the build in china cabinet. I didn't try to encourage children stay in there room while we did all of this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I certainly didn't loose track of the days my children had got a bath. It hadn't been three day since they had a bath. They didn't not go from Wednesday night to Sunday morning with out having a bath....nope not me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't wash things in pockets of clothing all the time because I forget to check so see if there is anything in them.

Feel free to do your own Not Me! Monday post. It is really fun and freeing. It helps you realize that your not the only one who doesn't do it.

the faces my child makes

Micah has always been an expressive child. I remember him making this awful face when he was about six months old. People use to laugh and think is was so funny and I thought that it was just plain ugly. Well, his face making still continues in a different ways. Here are a couple.



This are just the few that I have been able to capture. They are crazy faces. I look and him and just think what are you doing my child. I guess the good part is that I know what he is thinking. He does not hide his feelings at all. I don't know where he gets that from...lol.

Happy birthday to you!

Since Levi's birthday was in August, mine was the 3rd, and then my niece celebrated hers on the 6th we have sung the "happy birthday" song several times. Now the boys sing the song. Even little Micah goes around singing, "Appy birday to wou" and then Levi hands Micah a birthday present. It is so cute. I wish I would video tape it and put it on here for you guys to get the full effect. Ever day is a birthday now in my house.

When we went to my niece's birthday party Levi got to hold all of her present and help her unwrap a couple. Good thing she is 12 and being nice by letting him help. I can't imagine how it is going to be when Micah's birthday come in December and then Christmas. You know before we know it, it will be that time of year again. Better get started on the shopping. Maybe if I start thinking about it now I will have it done before December comes. Usually I am the person shopping the week of Christmas.

Well, this blog has been kind of random, but it was what was on my mind.

three birds in a row

I am now the owner of three birds. Why i decided to take them I will never know. My little sister is going to masters commission which is a program that gets them ready for ministry and they are not allowed to take pets with them. My mom and them would have probably let the birds die so I decided to take them.

They are really neat except for the fact that they bite. I am going to have to try to figure out how to tame them because the boys want to be able to pet them and hold them. Which you really can't blame them what is the point in having a pet if you can't hold it.

One of them is a love bird and the other two are parakeets. I am not sure if the love bird is a male or a female. The parakeets are a boy and a girls, but thankfully they don't have a nest so no babies. I really feel bad for the love bird because he or she doesn't have a companion. They have mates in the wild and the sit as close as the can. It is really kind of sweet. I will most likely not going out and buying another love bird though.

It's my birthday and i am 27

Yes today was my birthday and I turned 27! I don't feel that I am 27. I never have been a goal driven person. I wish I was. I stay at home with my babies and feel so blessed to be able to do so. There are day that I Don't feel purposeful. I feel like I don't have a purpose. I always thought that at this point in my life I would have things figured out. I thought that i would have a job or at least an education. I always wanted to stay at home with my children. I didn't realize that It was so exhausting or so rewarding at the same time. I have thought about trying to do some things on the side like photography but I don't know where to start. I have and SLR camera that my husband bought for me last year. I have thought about going back to school and getting my degree in Education. I am just not sure and I haven't heard the Audible voice of God either. LOL.

I am very happy with my life. I am blessed!! I have two beautiful children. A husband who loves me. We are the pastors of a great church who I feel really and truly loves us. I love them and adore them too. I have great friends!! I don't know what I would do with out them. I just feel like I need more of a purpose. Please be praying that God with guide me and lead me.

Birthday lunch

So Yesterday at church I got a pleasant surprise. They threw me a surprise birthday lunch. My birthday is not until the 3rd, but the decided to do it yesterday. It was such a surprise. I haven't really focused on my birthday. I hadn't really even told anybody about it. I went into church yesterday not even realizing that Wednesday was my birthday. I thought I still had a week.

One of the Ladies announced that everyone was needed in the back. Well I stayed around and was talking with a few of the visitors that we had. I turned and asked My loving Husband "What is going on in the fellowship hall?" He smirked "I don't know" "You liar " I replied and smacked him with the bible a couple of times. Right about this time my three year old came busting through the door and said desperately "Come on MOMMA come on!" Where are we going?" I said. "In there!" "What is in there?" I asked "Your birthday" Levi said.

So it sparked my interest as to what was going on. I waked in to the hall and there was most of the church people around and these little kids all in a row singing Happy Birthday to me. My eyes swell up with tears. It was the awesome thing. I felt so loved in that moment. It was the most thoughtful thing anyone has even done to me in.

My mom was one to never have birthday parties. For one my mom just wasn't that type of mom. Parties just weren't her thing. Two is more trouble that it was worth to her. Steve and I have never really done much for our birthdays. So yesterday meant a lot to me. I am interested to see what the rest of the week holds. Hopefully more Birthday Surprises.
