just a quickie!

This will be just a quickie today, I was coloring with Alyssa in a strawberry shortcake coloring book and she said,"ohhhh that is fabulous mom".

my thought on this is when did I become mom and not mommy? This makes me sad.

Children are a blessing!

Nick and I have talked alot about children. When we got married we wanted 2, then when I was pregnant with my second Nick said that if the baby was another girl that we could try for one more to try and get a boy. When I found out that we were having a boy, I was very said at the thought of not having any more kids.

Then we went to wanting 4 and then 6. We are now to the point that we have given up on us deciding, and have put it in the hands of God to decide how many children He wants for us to have.

Although we have discussed this many times, I have never sat and dwelled on it (in a good way). Today I did and I am excited about where I think God is taking us family wise. Don't get me wrong I am very happy with my 3 blessings I just feel that our family is just not complete.

Now if I am wrong and 3 is what God wants for us I will rejoice in His will (and for obvious reasons)(labor being the main one) but I do think that there will be more little blessings in the future.

So until then Lord give me the knowledge, organization skills, and patience in preparing to have a large family.

TV Buddies!

Man O Man! LOL I was going through my pictures and found this keeper. This is probably 7 months ago but look how cute they look. Both watching TV.

Being Little Helpers

Alyssa and Will wanted to feed Job. They took turns and everything.

In the picture Will is even showing Job to open his mouth. I am truely blessed that they all get along. With Gods help I hope this continues.

Happy Times

So today as I was looking through my not blogged yet pictures I saw these and I just had to add them!

As you can tell by Job these were taken a few months ago.

How cute!
Look at those freckles. lol.

play ball, amelia bedelia

Alyssa rides with me on monday afternoons to deliver some laundry and she brought a book. Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia this was her first amelia bedelia book to read so she had no clue what to expect. she began reading and had a smile on her face as she did.

when Amelia Bedelia went and put on a uniform Alyssa said, "that is a cool uniform but I hope she does not go out in public in that" I about died that was to funny.

I told her that all the Amelia Bedelia books are like that. That she is very silly and very very literal. Alyssa just got so excited and now she can't wait to read more of those books.

The plan

OK so i know that i have been gone for awhile. i have been sorting somethings out, getting somethings into habits and i now believe that i can commit to blogging everyday.

please forgive me.

so for the next few days (if you follow my blog) i am going to be posting more than one post per day just getting alot of blog worthy stuff up to date.
