August Craziness

The month of August is crazy for us.




This little man turned five! Yep five! It seems like yesterday that he was born. Time is going by way too fast!
We had a small party for him.  It was Toy Story theme this year.  I didn't get very many pictures.

He is such a sweet and amazing little boy.  He loves his family so much.

His favorite things to play with are Lego's, and this batman cave thing that my mom got him for Valentine's day.  (Yes it is a little expensive of a toy for Valentine's day.) Both of the boys are into making paper airplanes right now.  It is a stretch for this mom. 

He has grow so much over the last six months.  I can't wait for when I take him in for his yearly check up to see how much he has grown. 

His favorite foods right now are pizza, and peanut butter and jelly.  It use to be mack and cheese but not so much any more.

He uses his imagination all the time.  It amazes me the things he plays and makes with his Lego's and building blocks. 

He also started preschool.  He is five but in our district you had to be five by August the 15th and his birthday is Augest the 17th.  I didn't push it because I really wanted to wait another year. 

He loves school and looks forward to it every day.  He is acctually taking naps most days at school.  He has a little friend at school that he plays with Lexy.  She is a cute little girl.

God has really blessed me with such a beautiful little boy.

I love them!  I am so blessed to have them! 

Camping in March

It is not the best idea that we have ever had.  We went camping and it was SO cold.  We were so miserable that night.  Didn't want to get out to bed because it was so cold the next morning. It was forcasted to rain the next time so we only made it one nite.



The point of the whole trip is really to make memories.  They fished and played....that is all that they care about.  Yes they even played in the water even though it was so cold.  We only let them do it the for the one afternoon.  I think the kids enjoyed it more than the adults did.  We even took them on a little hiking trip.  They just love getting out and spending time with one another.

I thought it would be neat to see show the boys have changed over the two years we have been going. I don't know where my pictures are from the first year or even if we took any (yes i know great mommy moment).



Hope next years camping trip is warmer. =)

WOW I haven't blogged in a while.

In a really long time.  I just haven't felt like it.  This have been busy around here the last month or so. Okay, so it has been long than a month.  I have to blogging to catch upon.  I will hopfully be doing that this week.

Here is a picture i wanted to share from camping.  It is of Levi and Christian.  They are three months apart and are the best of friends.  They love to play with each other. 

Easter

I don't know why but every year I go crazy trying to find the boys something to wear for Easter.  Well, this year was not different.  I ended up finding then and getting a good deal and they ended up as handsome has ever.  Ofcourse, I am not bias.

We had lunch after church with all of our church family.  It makes up for not being able to be with our family for Easter.  We truly are thankful for out church family. We love them so much.

Here is everyone waiting for the egg hunt. 


It was funny because this is the first year that both boys acctually got what hunting eggs were about.  Last year Levi go it but Micah didn't. I acctually got to sit back and watch them.

Here is a picture of my handsome boys that God blessed me with.

Levi


 Here is Micah.


They are growing way too fast!

A little Frustraited

I am a little frustrated with myself and my weight.  I have never been a skinny person.  I weigh a lot more than I should.  The thing is though I can't seem to make my self stay one a diet plan or even just stay away from sugar and sweets.  I look at pictures of my self and I get disgusted.  I don't even like to look at pictures of my self or even have them taken. 

I have to figure something out.  Like brownies, cake, ice cream, cokes and tea.  No i don't eat them every day or even once a week, but they are my down fall.  I like bread....let me rephrase that I love bread.  Heck if it isn't good for me I like it.  I also like fruit and look forward to the summer when I can get fruit that is in season.  I just at this point don't know what to do. 

I try to be really strict and then end up fall and going crazy on the sugary and starchy foods.  There has to be a balance some where.  I just have to find it.

Please be praying that God will guide me on this decision.

Please pray

Will you please pray for a family that is dear to our hearts. They just found out that their little boy has a rare form of cancer.  It is very aggressive.  They will be leaving in the mornng to see what the treatment plan and the stage of the cancer. 

We are praying and believing for God's healing.  Please be praying and believing with us.  This is the scripture that she put at the end of her blog.

Isaiah 53:5 NKJV


But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

We went out tonight and joined in prayer with their community.  I know that our prayers are answered and God is going to get the glory out of this.  Please believe in faith with us.
