I finally gave in....






....and let him play in the rain puddles
now of course I regret cause he makes a bee line for the puddles every time after it rains.

Welcome baby Audrey!!!!




My dear friend Dena had her baby girl last week and I couldn't wait to see her! It felt SO GOOD to hold a baby in my arms. I had a slight bit of baby envy till I remembered I was pregnant:) oh the things I forget these days!! We are looking forward to spending lots of time together now that she is officially a stay at home mommy and lives close by.

7x7 tag

7 Things I'd like to do before I die
1. There is NOTHING that would bring me greater joy before I ''go home'' than to see ALL of my children saved. The rest of this list is just for fun.
2. Celebrate my 50th anniversary with my sweetie!
3. Run a Marathon....and then
4. proceed to eat a WHOLE cinnabon BY MYSELF and not feel guilty
5. Go on a missions trip
6. Hold my grandchildren
7. Learn how to shoot a gun, and then purchase my pink handgun with rhinestones on the side that say my name...how adorable!!!!


7 Things I can't do well

1. Dance
2. Clap- you will RARELY ever see me clap to a song at church because I have to REALLY concentrate way too much on keeping the rythem.
3. Stay focused on a task- I can be cleaning dishes and remember to put something in the closet, then that turns into spring cleaning all the closets in the house, when I meant to just put it away...all the while the dishes are still sitting there!
4. Not complaining- This is one of my biggest areas I have been trying to work on. Finding joy even in the smallest times....like when it's raining or I am tired. Seeing it truley as a lack of contentment.
5. Keep long distance friendships
6. Math
7. Watch any movie with Winona Ryder in it. She erks me for some reason????

7 Favorite Movies

1. Legally Blond-the sequal is not good, just the first.
2. Chronicles of Narnia
3. okay....We do watch a lot of movies but I can't think of any more I deem favorites, so I am going to list a couple of t.v shows......
4. Jon and Kate +8.----I don't have cable buuuttt....when I get around a t.v that does have cable...i'm glued!!!!
5. Any and All home shows where they have someone come in and ''stage'' there house to sell--LOVE IT!
6. Iron Chef, Paula Deen on Food network.
7. Last but not least- ALL baby birth shows
Do you see why we DON'T have cable!!!!! Just writing that list made me think of whose house I could go hang out at to catch one of those shows!!!:)

7 things I say often

1. So....
2. ''No touch''
3. ''I love you''
4. ''where is jake....why is he so quiet?''...because he's probably playing in the toilet again....
5. ''did you lock the doors?''
6. ''how do you ask for that?''
7. ''no complaining''

7 things I like about James

1. He loves the Lord.
2. He shows much affection/care toward me
3. I NEVER have to ask him to help out around the house or with Jake...He jumps right into it.
4. He adores his son
5. His skinny legs are forms of weapons...he can kick butt in karate with them....there like WMD!
6. His ability/gifting to be able to talk to ANYBODY in the store from witnessing to the errands he's running that day....he has very little fear of man....I'm constantly learning from him.
7. His knack for style....I never have to fear that he is going to wear brown shoes with a black belt.....:)
sooo many more....but these are just some.....
