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!

A prayer is always needed

I am putting out a prayer request to whom ever reads the blog of mine.

My youngest baby Gabriel, went to the doctor to find out he has a hernia in his "area" down there. yes it seems it is possible for a 3 year old to get one how? No sure at all!!!

The good thing is that we don't have to go to Tucson to get a consultation, a Dr. Carter(I think I went to school with his son) will be able to do a check up here.

I believe before Gabriel goes back to the doctor that he will be healed and he won't need any surgery, and the hernia will be gone leaving the doctors scratching their heads.

Because my God is bigger then this situation..... that the devil is trying to fill our family with fear.


Isaiah 41:10- So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my rightous right hand.

Once I walked in the door this morning with a thick smell of breakfast still clinging to the air, and having to show Gabe the play button on the dvd player for about 100 times in 5 minutes. I start to get this gloss look over my face, thinking about what am I going to make for dinner , what am I going to wear to church tonight...can't forget to pick up sister at 10....is there anything that I need to do around the house???
"Should I iron now or do it later?".........So doing that later.
"Should I get dark curtains because that darn sun likes to makes its way in here."

The this picture comes to mind, only what about 9 months away...until we go.

The Hubby ,sister and I have decided to take the kiddos to Disneyland for Christmas, I mean that is their present thats it......with the christmas that just pasted we now find their once wonderful gifts everywhere in the room and I hate to see that, so if we are going to spend money why not go to Disneyland and that be the outcome........EVERYONE can enjoy it!

We went last March of 08 and it was beautiful there, we went again in September of 08, it was sooo hot I nearly fainted on occasion....just kidding!! A little.

So now we are going to give it a swing in December and hopefully by the Grace of God we can go.

So I can wipe that dumb look off my face!

Who needs pockets

When you can use your choniees as the same thing??

.....and then a week later

I know I know I have been away from here for a week now, that's not like me! I was having a really bad week last week. My little Gabe got his hair cut I think I was in shock for about 48 hours, then he got a little sick.... I had a problem with my eye come to find out yesterday that I had an inflamed eye which leads to me not being able to my contacts or eye makeup---and trust I needs me my makeup!!! So I tried to make the best of it, by bring out the soap molds and made a few bars of these lovey's! 2 for the sister 2 for me and 2 for the Hubby! Here is a small preview of what happened at our home on Valentine's Day.
We run a pretty tit schedule here so for the kids to wake up and them having gifts on the kitchen table came as a big surprise for them. They both received the same thing so they wouldn't fight over anything......which in the end totally happened.

See I told you the exact same thing, but someone always found something to fight about!

It just wasn't Valentines Day with out a brother knock out I guess.

Glad to be back and glad that my eye is finally white again.

Now that I feel myself I can get out of my pity party mood and get this blogging in drive again!

And since it's Friday and like I have said before my little Aidy pop doesn't have school......

It's vaca... time!!!!!!!!!

Not.......... I have a load of laundry about a mile high and a kitchen and living room that needs some serious finding!
