Happy Birthday to My darling husband! I love you so much! I know that I don't show it all the time. I do LOVE and ADORE you!
I will try to show you more often with my words and deeds

You are a great Husband! I know that I joke about you not being romantic, but you love me and that I what matters most.

You are an awesome Father! I love waking up in the mornings see Micah and Levi piled up in you lap watching TV or walking behind you out side to see what you are going to do! I love to watch you wrestle with them. They enjoy spending time with you! I know that you are a great example for them to follow!

Most of all you are a great man of God! It amazes me to see how God has changed and transformed your life. I pray that you are always sensitive to HIS voice and that you continue to lead this family the way that HE would have you to!

I will say that I will try to let you go hunting and fishing more.

I love you!

Happy Birthday!

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.


This has been a week for not me! There have been several things that did not happen

I didn't not have to calm my self down and just go with the flow when Micah didn't get into blue paint and He certainly didn't cover the walls in the fellowship hall, Sunday school room, and the carpet with blue paint. We did not have to go rent a shampoo machine to clean the carpet. We didn't have to repaint the walls either. While cleaning that up Micah didn't go and get into the dry erase makers and color on the wall again. This most certainly isn't a regular occurrence in my life.

Micah certainly doesn't take his diaper off when he pees once and then runs around naked for a while before I decide to put another one on him.

Tonight at church i did not get two pieces of cake nope not me! Why i would be a pig! I especially didn't get another piece when we got home tonight nope not me!

I did not repeat did not laugh at my child tonight when we was trying and throwing a fit saying, "I am NOT cranky! I am not going to bed!" All the while rubbing his eyes.

I am not secretly praying that Micah will potty train himself because it took us three months to potty train Levi. It was a lot of hard work! I am not certain if he is ready or not.

I did not give into my husband and let him have his birthday present early. Nope I am a strong women and wouldn't do a thing like that.

I think that wraps it up. What have you NOT done this week. Join the fun!

AWESOME story

this story made me cry. I found it off of boomama. It made be cry. This is truely what Christ has called us to do. Go on over and check it out!

My unique boys

Last night the boys got into Levi's closet and Steve went in there. He made the clean it up and Levi started crying. So Steve said "Go to your momma." Steve just doesn't do well when Levi starts whining and crying. You know I didn't really want to hear him wail. Shrieking to the top of his lungs. I said " I don't want to hear it either. Go to your room." Levi walked by his room and screamed "Momma don't want me!" After he went to his room and calmed down. I went in and talked with him that it wasn't that I didn't want him. I just didn't like his behavior at that time. Really his screaming. I am trying to teach him it is okay to voice your dislike but don't scream.

Levi is turning into such a little boy. He is really into Spider man, Batman, and Power Rangers. It is crazy. WE have all kind of pretend fights and stuff. It gets really crazy in my house these days. The older they get the more rowdy. They both climb to the top of the house it seems.

Poor Micah is a story all of his own. That boys keeps me on my toes. He his a very sweet loving child, but just don't make him mad. He will through him self a big O' hissy fit. He throws him self down back ward on the floor. I don't really what to do with the child most of the time. He bites and pinches his big brother! Levi doesn't retaliate most of the time. Micah is very smart and talks very well for a two year old. He loves to crawl up and sit in our laps, talk with us, and eat hot dogs. That boys loves some hot dogs. He has learned to get into the frig and get his own.

Micah also has a hundred and one expressions. I have posted some previously but they are new ones everyday it seems.

I love my boys so much. They are great boys. I just pray that God continues to guide Steve and I as they grow. They are both so different and unique.

Pray for Abby

New Year's Resolutions.

I despise new year's resolutions, because most people don't keep them over all. As I find myself coming into this new year are things that I want God to truly change in my life.
I want to become a better mother and wife.

I want to draw closer to God this year.

I want to loose weight.

I truly want change in my life.

Steve and I were talking on the way to bible study about how I have come to embrace change in our lives. Of course we have moved about every 1 1/2 so that helps. I get sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I am tired of being over weight.

I am tired of some of my habits that I have allowed to take root in my heart. I want with all of my heart for GOD to change me, mold me, transform, and form to His will and His ways.

Lets embark upon this new year with the mind set know that CHANGE is going to happen in our lives this year. Let's pray that God will totally transform our lives. I know that if we make a step towards HIM; He will step towards us.
