Today Is The Day VIDEO - Lincoln Brewster

This morning about 4 or so I woke up with this song in my head, sanga few verses in my head went back to bed. I woke up again to get Aidan ready and I couldn't remember the words, and little bummed I put my Christian music station on and while I was praying the Lord put this song on for me......Happily crying I started rejoicing......I need this song today because I am as scared as can be for Gabriel's surgery tomarrow, but I serve a BIG God, and I won't worry about tomarrow, I am trusting in what you say God.

It's Official

The news came yesterday that my little Gabriel is going to need the durgery to repair his hernia.
But Thanks to my God that it is going to be done here and it is outpatient. I am worried not so much in the docotr but how they are going to put an IV inhim and I have no conrol over anything, hence I am a total control freak and this time I can't be.

But this cuty will soon be better and ready to go and do what he does best........Drive me crazy!

My Visitor

This past weekend I had me a little visitor.
My neice came to have a sleep over which was so fun and it felt nice to have a little girl around. But be known I had to idea how to really do the hair thing, but I managed.

The next day I missed her terribly.....I think I may need her to come back next weekend, and the weekend after that.

So sister when you read this, can I please have my ninypoo over again?

Swinging into Spring Time

I can now tell that Spring is officially here. How? Because when I wake up at 6:30 in the morning and I panick because I think that it is really 7:30, because that is how bright it is outside.

And my rose bush out front is starting to bud, and the sun last's a little bit longer for the kiddos to go play out side in. And the weather.........ewww that awful HOT, no breeze the Sun burns you for being outside for like 5 minutes weather.

I enjoy the time right now, but come May I will be crying because the snow will probably be all gone on the mountain tops, and I will probably be going to the Market with the early birds, because it is sooo hot to do anything by 10 in the morning.

But as for now we have a beautiful day ahead of us, so I am going to swing into Spring!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Pictures & Posts I should have done long ago

There have been pictures on my camera for some time now and I finally got around to getting them posted. The other day which I was Thursday, we had a nice little visit to the river what can I say I hate is because there is dirt, rocks and I am totally out of my comfort zone there but my Gabriel is a boy/ river rat and he loves it out there.

Well spring is finally here and we are starting to enjoy the cool air in the evenings with the sun staying out just a bit later for the kids to enjoy more time outside in the backyard and I myself love to be on my front porch in the rocker enjoying the budding over rose bushes and tree's.

Here are the 2 newest member of the family, Leo and Lucy. They are seriously down right cute.

I hope he doesn't think that he can start to drive now because of how looks here.

But come on.............he looks soooo cute and then with sugar there.

Here is Aidan's science project from like Febuary......it was the Solor System made of candy..it was his Aunt's idea...............she ihas the more creative bug then anyone I know!!!

Well I think with these pictures of have you up to date on everything.

Have wonderful Saturday.

And the Count is on..........

My Hubby, Sister, kids and I literally count the months until we return.
This year we have decided to take the kiddos back to Disneyland for Christmas...with that said the whole trip is our Christmas present.

Only 9 more months to go....I have never wanted Summer to get here so quickly, because once that is over..... then fall and then around October/November we will probably start pack months within leaving.


Take now for instance my sister and I are looking for sales on winter clothes so when we go we have new clothes for the trip............See I told you we were excited!!



So now the count is on.............

Salas Saturday's

Today is the day that I "always" clean from top to bottem on everything. Usually I wake up in rather a good mood, but today is not the case, I had a horrible dream, once the Hubby left for work I had a full bed of kiddos which leads up to a stiff back, my bed is in every direction, the one day I would love to sleep in the little Gabster is wide awake ready to go outside and play at 7:30 am............Um I don't think so!!!

This is probably going to be the outcome of how I look and feel today. Usually on Salas Saturdays I have some eventfull thing to post but not today the only eventfull thing that I am going to have is trying to fiure out what to make for lunch and dinner and trying to get through the heap of things that I need to do.........I bet 10 bucks I don't put a dent in anything today!!!!!!

Waiting.....

Many of us are like every human being, when something with our loved one's or even our own bodies and lives the first thing we do is ask God "Why"?
Why did you allow this to happen God....
or
Why didn't you do something God......
or
Why haven't you listen to my prayer's God......

I myself as a Christian am guilty of doing that. This morning as I heard my Hubby creep out the door for work I looked at the clock and moaned it's only 5:30.... as I tried to fight myself to go back to sleep, something hit my heart "Right now would be a good time to pray".
With out a fight I put my MP3 player on and started doing just that.
With God stiring in my heart, I cried out for God to forgive me for doubting in his healing in Gabriel's and my own body, I have always told God no matter the outcome I will worship you.

But since the evidence and news about Gabriel's hernia, I haven't really done that, I look for daily proof of God doing something, basically I have been putting God on a stop watch. This is not the case with God, the bible say's in God's time not mine but God's.

The first song on my playlist hit's home for me today, just like the other 2.

Many of who read this know now that I am a Christian, not the kind that say's I am and lead a totally different life outside of church or my home. I am not ashamed to tell you that I live for God and God only, I am not embarresed to tell you everyday before our son goes to school we pray over him or when anyone is sick we anoint them and lay hands on them. I am not ashamed to tell you that I was a sinner of the world made many mistakes but my God dusted my off picked me up and forgive's me.

I Know that Jesus died on the cross for my sin's and three days later rose from the dead, it's evidence is proved in the bible, this is what I believe and I will alway's believe.

So while I am waiting Lord I will serve you!!!
Faithfully...

How I met.....my Hubby

"How did you meet daddy" this was asked to me by my son.

So the story begin's.

Long ago in October of 2000, I was working as a CNA, pretty content with my life, was about to get my own place, started coming out of the wood work's of having a quite/private life. I was beginning to live my own life. I had a friend who worked with me and she would mention that she had a friend...at first I wasn't interested because I had "other" plans with "someone" else. She would tell me about her friend William, something she said (now I can't remember) sparked my interest, but the first thing I asked was.
"How old is he"
"He's 26 or something" was her reply....

As for me that was a big NO.
I was 18 at the time, and he seemed much to old for me. But she went and found a time for us to meet.....the next day the birds were singing, the sun was shining, but I kept quite about it for a while, I wanted no one in my family to know, because to them I was "usually" the good girl and I didn't want them to know a thing so they could change my mind.

William and I started out as friends we would talk on the phone all the time, and "bump" into eachother at my work.

I started to get impatient because I was really liking him alot........so me with my new found boldness said...

"If we are ever going to get this dating thing in go mode then I am asking you out on a date"
Yes I really said that..what? I was getting impatient.
So we hit it off started dating, he would come to my new place and we have been together ever since, after 3 months of being to gether I knew he was the one.......low and behold 8 years 2 kids a house, mini van and dog later here we are.

Living Happily Ever After.................

6:00 am

This morning when I awoke at 6...I had a mold head ache stuffy nose, and also had to option to go back to bed, but the Lord stir ed inside of me and I was up ready to read my bible. I Love doing my devotionals, I get closer to God and get spiritually fed, once that was over I was able to listen to my Pastor's morning sermon via CD (I had nursery in the am) Once again I was fed. but before any of this happened I walked outside to see that it had rained all night.....I love the rain it's a Peaceful feeling to me when I smell or see the rain, i just feel like "I'm Home" I stepped out into the front porch slippers night gown and all and just started Thanking my God for everything, once I got a little breeze up the nightie it was time to take it inside.

Last night I had a bed filled with these 2 cuties out Dog and I woke up feeling like this is my life....the life that I have always wanted, it's satisfying......To wake up everyday and know that I have the opportunity to wake up everyday and Thank God for what he has given us, whether I a, going through a trial or tribulation my God is always still there, he's never left..

We have 2 new members of our family.....once I get a get a shot of the both of them I will post!

I want all of you to have a wonderful day!! Don't forget to Thank God for it!

He started out with No hair and now.....I miss the curl's

I was looking through some pictures on my folders today and I came across a bunch with Gabriel and his curly hair.................I miss it. Everywhere I go from church to Wal-mart, to any other store people come up to me asking why I did it.

I had to the kid would wake up with a rat's nest.

I would have to distract him after his shower just so he wouldn't pay attention to all the gunk I was putting in his hair.

I at times it was just plain unmanagable, it was all over the place......but I miss so because it was a trade mark of Gabriel....

How's your Heart

We take out the trash. We wash the dishes and clear off the kitchen counters. We vacuum on occasion. we carefully attend to the condition of our homes in order to keep them off the "disaster area" list. But how much attention to we give our hearts?

When the Bible says that the heart is to be guarded because it is the wellspring of life, it means that it is from our hearts that the rest of our attitudes get their cue.

Rather the cleaning up the outer edges of our lives, we're wiser to pay attention to the deeper parts of ourselves. Running the vacuum cleaner through a few ventricles, we may discover a layer of dissatisfaction, of envy, or even anger that we've stuffed out of sight.

There's no use trying to paste on a happy face or a good attitude to show in public if our hearts are cluttered with hidden issues. What's stuffed down in our hearts will sooner or later spill over into our day's with our children, our neighbors, our co-workers, and God.

Hey your house looks great. But how's your heart?

This has effected me a majority of my life since I have been married and had children.....the thing I thought I hid so well but eventually spilled over was a thing of control which leads to a bossy mama. To make a long story short, there is a season for everything, so my season has come to change.

Back in the day

How I miss those days, when my hair was that long......my friends and I enjoyed life and we didn't have a worry in the world.......how I wish those day's would plague our lives now!



I don't really remember what year this picture was taken, but I do remember that is was at the fair, and life was great! (way , way, way back in the day)

ps Amber when you come across this I couldn't help but post this!
