Waiting : )

So, I feel like I haven't slowed down in years.  We've been so busy upstairs, (now it's the school room) that I can't wait until we're done.  I need to stop and rest awhile.  We have a couple of more things to finish but I feel like I've been out of touch with everyone and everything!  I feel like I haven't been that good of a wife, mother or friend.  But in all of my busyness, I can say that I'm thankful that I haven't been too busy for what matters most...my relationship with my Heavenly Father.  No matter what we're going through, we can take comfort that He's always there.  When I get too busy for Him...He's there.  When I'm needing Him...He's there.  When I don't know what's going on or what's going to happen...He's there.  No matter what the time or what your situation is...He's there.  He's there waiting for us to come to Him; all day long, all night long, all the time...He's there...waiting.  We just need to go, take comfort in His Peace, and rest at His Feet.  If I didn't have His peace, I would be lost in everything that's been going on.  Thank you Lord for being with me!  He's waiting for you.  What are you waiting for?

My baby is FOUR!

I don't know how I messed up putting these pictures on here, but I did. The next to the last one should be the first one, and go backwards from there. Today my baby turned four. We went to Chuckie Cheese for his b-day. If you are wondering what Austin is doing he is hiding from the Chuckie Cheese guy. He is scared of him. I'm surprised that the pictures didn't blur because I was laughing so hard. It was sooo cute. Austin fell asleep on the way home with a lolly in his mouth.

Ashlee got stitches

As you can see by the above pictures, my darling daughter received two stitches last evening. Anthony and her decided to clean the toad(fish) tank. She thought that stomping on the bottom of the tank, to get the dirt off, would be better than using the hose. As you can guess, her foot went through the glass. She has some minor scratches up her calf. She did fine, unlike me who almost blacked out. I don't know what happened to me because if you don't know, I TOTALLY LOVE STUFF like that. Blood and guts and everything. YEA!! Jon did not watch, but the boys and I did. Then for some reason when the doctor was almost done sowing her up, I started to get sick. Then everything started going black. Then Jon and the doctor got Ashlee off the bed and laid me down on it. I was fine. The doctor said that when it is your own child, it doesn't matter if you like stuff like that or not. He's seen nurses and doctors black out with their children. So now I guess I can't watch my kids get stitches. Ashlee is doing good today. She's the princess, so she's getting a little babied. She learned her lesson the hard way. I just hope that the boys learned too.

Let's try this again

Okay. So this is my third attempt at this, so if it does not work, I AM DONE. I somehow deleted the last one and I have no clue what I did the first time. Here are just some pictures to get me started.

This is us at the zoo last year.

Kids at Meadowcroft Village.
This is when we went to Florida to see Grandma and Pappy Mowl.
