.........

Sorry I don't have a good title for my blog. Its going to be a I haven't posted in a month blog! So not sure how much it will make sense.  Nothing makes me more irritated then when you thought you were good friends with someone then you wake up and all the sudden its like they don't have time for you but they have time for everyone else.. but whatever I feel like if that is the case then how good of friends are you? Then you have people who can only have 1 or 2 friends at a time.  Idk maybe its me and I am being to sensitive and taking everything the wrong way? I just feel like sometimes when I really needed support or my friends I have no one(well maybe a handful and you know who you are so thanks so much). Owell that's life all I can do its not let it get to me.  Next thing I want to say thanks to everyone who has asked, prayed or even came to see my dad. Means alot to me and him! I do appreciate if you would still Pray for him and so does he!
I know this shouldn't bother me but I am really sick and tired of all the cop bashing that happens.  I know there is freedom of speech but thinking about what you say...cause 9 times out of 10 your the first one calling them!!! Something has hit me like crazy lately. Maybe its because I keep reading stories about people just killing cops for no good reason. APPROX. since Dec. 12 there have been 55 cops shot at, 22 hit and 7 has died in the past 2 weeks alone. that is Crazy! Yes they chose to be a cop, Yes the know the risk. Does that make it ok for someone to take their life because they knew the risk? Does it mean they do not care about their kids if they are cops: NO it doesn't. The lack of respect for Police and human life for that matter no ahead is crazy to me.

Ok I will get off my soapbox now its time for bed. Hopefully next time I post I will have a new layout... and updated pictures...if I can figure it out..hint hint Kim ;-)

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!

Life....

Did you ever sit and church on a Sunday and feel like you and the pastor are the only ones in the room? Well I had one of those Sunday's today.  (thanks Dr. Steve) Its not that I do not feel thankful by no means its just that he is right in every situation be Thankful no matter how hard it is. Life is not fair. We don't understand why bad things happen to good people but they do.  While I am still trying to understand and deal with things I am so thankful for all the wonderful people God has put in my families life.  People who are praying for my family and they might not even know them.  So I am very thankful for every single person God has put in my life for whatever reason or season.   I am sure this won't make sense to some people but I just had to get this off my chest. 

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Confession Monday?!?

I confess I know its not Friday but I haven't had time to do a confession nor have I done one in like 2 weeks! So Monday it is!
I confess that Jackson always wants to play angry birds. I downloaded the game just for him.
I confess that today is my birthday and want to say thanks to all the birthday wishes!
I confess that even though it is my birthday, I cooked dinner for my Ashley.
I confess that it took me 3 or 4 times to get my email and password right before I could sign into my blog.
I confess that I am really becoming a fan of sushi. I tried like 2 different rolls I guess is what you call them and they were so cute!
I confess I went and seen Miss Layla Saturday and she is such a doll!!! Makes me want to have another baby!
I confess that I told Kenedi we could paint pumpkins for her birthday party but now I am not sure if I want to spend like 50 bucks on just pumpkins. Last time I got them for free!! So anyone out there have a pumpkin patch and wanna donate some pumpkins let me know!!!!

Have a good week everything!

Confession Friday

I confess that I am thinking about deleting my blog.  I just don't seem to have time for it!

I confess that I am soo proud of Jackson for pooping and peeing on the potty at daycare.  Now if he will do it at home!

I confess that I have been really wanting to go to school.  I think I would like to be a pta or a lpn. I don't want to be in school for the next 2 years since I am getting old. I just want a change.

I confess Kenedi got a yellow day at school yesterday for not following directions and talking.  Believe it or not she gets that from her dad. He was a big talker in school.  Weird!

I confess that I have been doing good at logging in and tracking everything in myfitnesspal but yesterday I had a half cheeseburger and some fries from McDonald's so not a good day oh and I think we are having pizza tonight.

I confess I don't really have alot to confess about today so I am done.  Boring I know! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

confession friday

I confess I am doing this from my phone so it could be interesting.
I confess that I am ready for a new phone because mine has been messing up. Text messages going to the wrong people or no one at all.
I confess that i joined myfitnesspal and I love it makes counting calories so easy!
I confess that today this week is my baby girls first full week in kindergarten.
I confess she got invitied to her first birthday party from a classmate.
I confess I really need to not let peoples actions bother me.
I confess that I am so happy its friday because this has been a crappy week.
I confess that i often think about what this world would be like if people treated people the way they wanted to be treated?

Hope everyone has a good week.

So I was on facebook and a friend had a prayer request it was for a friend of hers who's husband is a police officer. They have children and recently adopted a baby. Sometime this weekend I believe he rushed to the hospital. He had bacterial meningitis and current has no vision. ( I ask that you pray for this family) I do not know this family at all but have been praying for them.  I could not imagine being in her shoes taking care of kids and with her husband. I guess the whole point of this was while I am not great at words its just makes me realize that I am very blessed to have the simple things ( vision, healthy kids, husband etc). People need to realize that "life" happens and its not what you want its what GOD has planned for you.  Which reminds me of a song that I have been listening to alot of lately. My God My Savior. The beginning of the song is what I say alot "I am not skilled to understand, What God has willed, What God has planned.  I know I struggle as a Christian, a mom, a wife, a Friend but I do try my best and I am sure I have upset people and I truly don't  mean to and I am sorry and I love all of you! I don't really know the whole point of this or if it even makes sense but I feel like it is something that I needed to type out! Have a great night everyone!

Confession Friday (Saturday)

I confess that my baby girl's first week of Kindergarten is over but she really seems to be enjoying herself. She is getting so big.

I confess that I am typing this on Saturday not friday :-)

I confess that I am suprised by the lack of respect younger kids have for people and how irresponsble they are.

I confess that my son has my phone more then I do because he loves playing bowling.

I confess that that I have been so tired lately seems like I can't get enough sleep.

I confess that Jackson loves to be naked. That kid is always taking his clothes off and doing this "naked naked" dance. and Last week he ran outside naked in the middle of the day.

I confess I have a steam cleaner and I can not wait to use it!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Where did my baby go?

First day of Kindergarten!

Kenedi's Desk

Miss Diva all ready for School!

Well today was Kenedi's first day of Kindergarten! Were did my baby go? She is getting so big.  She was so excited to start. She got up this morning and asked me if she had to stay home with daddy or go to school. I told her school she was soo happy!  I am so proud of the little girl she is becoming. She is so smart and independent and beautiful. I know she will do great in school.  Crazy how times flies.  I was proud of myself for not crying when I dropped her off, but as I am typing this I am fighting back tears.  Mommy loves you Kenedi! Have a great first day!



Confession Friday

I confess that Kenedi and I watched Soul Surfer and I asked her what it was about and she said a shark attack and trusting God like Logo (Logan) said.  Melted my heart!

I confess I am sitting here waiting for dad and barb to come over to watch the kids so I can go to Rachel's pampered Chef party!  I can't wait!

I confess I am probably the only mother who doesn't let their kids eat ice.

I confess that Jackson loves eating string or hair I am not sure what his deal is!

I confess that while this week alot of people annoyed me I come to realize there is not point in trying to understand ones actions or words.

I confess that I am not sure why the above two confessions look the way they do!

I confess that Jackson keeps saying Papa going to play with me and its soo cute!

I confess that Kenedi starts school wed and I will be crying like a baby I'm sure!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!!!!!!!

Weekend Wrap-up!

I know all of you are just wanting to know what I did this weekend so here it goes!

Oh before I start big thanks to Kim for spicing my blog up a bit!

Friday night was family night for VBS! The kids did such a good job! I truly enjoyed teaching this year and for the record I would be down for another week! Jackson didn't sit down very well and crawled under about 4 pews before coming up! kids will be kids!

Saturday didn't do much of anything really the highlight was going to orange leaf and getting the new chocolate mint flavor and can we say yumm!!!!!

Today well we usually leave the house around 9:15 for church but the kids were sound asleep and we didn't get up till 8:40 yikes! Good thing is we made it! The kids got to sing today during worship service and they did a great job! Then after church I went to Rachel's and Jamie gave us the 411 on the couponing! So excited need to get a couple more things! Thanks sooo much Jamie and to Rachel for letting us use her house! Then tonight went back to church to hear about the mission trip to Belize sounded like alot of fun and a very God-filled! I hope someday I can go on a mission trip! Well hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!

Confession Friday!

I confess that this is my first confession!
I confess that I have been teaching VBS all week and while I have been dragging durning the day it has been worth it! I enjoyed all my kids!
I confess that with Kenedi starting school in less then two weeks it has made me relize that next year Jackson will be in preschool and he will be attending VBS too! Where did my babies go?
I confess that I do not understand why  girls need to be fake. Either be a good friend or don't be one at all. I will be teaching my daughter this!
I confess that I am so proud and a little jealous (haha) at how awesome Meredith is looking and that she goes to the gym so much. Wish I could do that!
I confess that I STILL need to go buy me some running shoes but I have been so busy!!
I confess that I know my confession are borning but hopefully they will be better next week...but who really reads this anyway?!?

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Weekend Wrapup!

c1

Thanks Kim for the idea's for my blog, I mean you are the reason I started one! Lol  So lets see here friday after work I had to take Kenedi to the eye doctor the last thing she needed for kindergarten (where did my baby go?) she kept asking if she needed glasses because she wanted them! So its our turn to see the doctor he said that he was impressed by how well she knew her numbers (thats my baby smart just like her mommy) and colors.  After the exam the doctor was talking to me and the whole time Kenedi is like Do I need glasses : Do I need glasses? He told her that she didn't need them right now and that we have to come  back in six months because she is on the border line with needing them as you can imagine we had a Major MELT DOWN over this. So I think I may take her to clairs and get her some fake cheap glasses! After the eye doctor it was time to go get jackson and head home. Friday Trenton came over to stay the night. Jackson adores him! Saturday I was brave enough to take 3 kids to walmart on a saturday afternoon and they were soo good! I was very proud of them! Saturday night we didn't do much just watched moves since we had such a busy week coming up! Sunday morning as I was getting ready for church and Matt was already at work all I hear is screaming and yelling and Kenedi and Jackson fighting! The devil was in our house I think :-) so needless to say we had a pretty bad morning and we had to stay after church to decorate my room for VBS and the kids did great! They were soo helpful with everything! A big thanks to my helper Judy and her daughter! Sunday night kicked off our VBS at church and my first year teaching I was so nervous ! My class is the 3 & 4 year olds. I only have 2 kids :-( which I am kinda bummed about but I am so impressed by how much they do listen and pay  attention! So that was pretty much my weekend (if ya care lol)

IF YOU HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD TO 6TH GRADER ITS NOT TO LATE TO BRING THEM TO VBS!

Coupons!!!

So I went this morning and bought a St. Louis Post and a bnd paper when I got home I realized that the bnd paper wasn't a sunday paper..opps! I did manage to cut alot of coupons out though. So I am thinking that I may need to buy another Sunday paper and something bigger to organize my coupons more. ( Did I mention I suck at organizing?) Next step is to get the hang of using coupons. I am sure its not that hard but I need to do it hands on by a professional (hint hint Jaime & Liz)! I need to make time to get together with them though because they have already offered to help! I say we have a coupon party! Who's in?!?!?

I am an offical...blogger?!?

Finally after always saying how much I should do a blog I did it.  Well we shall see how much I actually
"blog". I am already confused and trying to figure out what goes where and how do I get a pretty template and how do I even post!(it took me awhile to do this). Along with my new blogger status I am also going to try and start couponing.  I am starting to think this is alot to take on in a week! We shall see how this next week goes! Wish me luck!
