Glistening Water Fall!

As all of you know we are staying at my moms house until we move. So as a good house guest I try to pull my weight around here and do things to help out. So tonight I decided that I would unload the dishwasher, so me and my big helper Elisha went to conquer this task. I usually get the things on top and have the kids hand me the things on bottom since bending over is getting a lot harder to do. So as I was putting up the glass cups on the glass shelf, all of the sudden a water fall of glasses came cascading around my legs leaving me in a pool of glass with no where to go. Quickly Elisha leaps to the counter for safety dropping sippy cups along the way. Samuel turns and runs in terror as the cups are still falling around me. I yell to my night and shinning armor to come and rescue me. He flashes a quick, "I'm MacGuyver" I can fix anything look and grabs the broom to rescue his only love who is standing with glass covering her bare feet. He swoops the glass off of the freezer for her to have a safe place to retreat while he softly brushes the glass shavings off of her feet. And begins the task of cleaning the mess. Now the mess is cleaned and we have to tell my mom that she is missing about 20 cups and that they are now in the trash. To my defense her glass shelf was missing one peg and the shelf tipped forward in the process of placing the clean ones up on it. I must say that no one got hurt in this little situation we had. Just the cups...

Busy as a Bee are We!!!!

We are out of the house and are at my moms house for the week. Lee has worked so hard trying to get everything done. I feel so blessed to have a husband who takes care of me. He also is redoing my Aunts kitchen before we leave also. So he has been so busy lately. He has done such a wonderful job on it. I will take some pictures when he is done grouting it so you all can see how good he is at what he does. I feel as if we have ran a marathon the last few days. The sad thing is that Lee has done pretty much everything. I have just tagged along for the ride most of the time. I feel like it might be awhile before things get back to normal. I am one who likes to get moved and have things unpacked as soon as possible. But I must say that I am already exhausted all the time and the further I get in this pregnancy the more tired I seem to be. But thankfully I have a husband who can't stand to live with boxes everywhere either, so I am sure he will have me unpacked as soon as possible. I might have to redo some things later on but that will be fine. I just appreciate all he does for me. I love you hunny so much and thank you for doing those little things for me.

Wore out!

Well we decided to move out of our house today. And what a exhausting day it has been for us. My sweet mother-in-law came down and helped me so much with the last minute packing. We planned on doing it tomorrow but we had some help today so today became the day. All the major stuff is out of the house and know I just have to do a little bit of the loose packing and cleaning of the house tomorrow. I am not looking forward to this but it is something that must be done. Now don't worry my mom is going to help me tomorrow. And my kids are going to run the sweeper and clean the bathrooms. So I guess you can say I will be the supervisor.

On another note, I was reading Trina's blog and the potty training and made me think of a little incident that I had with Samuel the other day. As you all know he is potty trained and has done a wonderful job with it. But I haven't taught him how to go number 1 standing up yet. Not to sure how I will do that one. I am hoping his dad will do it. O.k. let get on with the story. I was on my way home from town a few weeks ago and my little man started dancing around in his car seat. So I looked back and asked him if he needed to go to the bathroom, which of course he said yes. Well there was no where to go so I pulled over on the road to let him go on the side. My little guy was puzzled when I pulled his pants down and told him to go. It really bothered him that he had his pants off on the side of the road. He didn't know what to do. So he started yelling at me to put his pants on. So of course I did and put him back in his seat and told him to hold it till we got home. He made it home and was still dry but barely. I am hoping my husband will help teach him to go standing up so on the trip when there is no where for miles he can go on the side of the road.

Time Flies!

We are officially moving out of our house this weekend. So just a little more packing to do on friday and on Saturday everything will be moved over to storage for one week. Can you believe it we leave in just a week and a half. I am so excited that things seem a little unreal. I thought that I would be a little sad when we moved but with this taking so long I am just excited to get it over with. I will miss all of my friends and family but it is just way past time to go. So for now there are no tears but we haven't left yet.

I got to spend some time with my friend Sylvia today and I enjoyed our time together so much. I will miss you very much, but since we talk on the phone most of the time anyways. I think that will stay the same.

3 weeks to go!!!!

I can't believe it, we will be moving in exactly three weeks from this morning. It has been a long process but it seems to have gone by pretty fast. It amazes me how time just slips away and before you know it, its been a year. We have been in the this process for so long and now the time is almost here. Then I think about this pregnancy and I realize that I am about to start my 7th month. I am 26 weeks pregnant and beginning my third trimester, where has the time gone. As I watch my belly grow and feel this little guy growing inside me, it brings me so much joy. I so love being pregnant!

Not very long ago Sis. Marisela wrote a blog on the things she was looking forward to. So it made me think about the things that I am looking forward to.

1. Moving into the home we have already rented.

2. Getting ready to have my baby.

3. Making new friends and rekindling with old friends.

4. Getting to decorate and getting all my stuff out of storage.

5. Starting our new school and getting a head start before the baby comes.

6. Holding my new baby.....

7. Being apart of a small assembly/

Gods Mercy to my man!

You all know that Lee hurt his ankle a few weeks back. I took a picture of it about a week after he did it. I wish I would of thought to take one when it was first done. But this is when the healing was taking place. He is so much better now. He does have a slight limp but that is o.k. I teased him about being toble and me being woble. What a couple we make walking down the street. God has had so much mercy on him. His ankle still has a knot around it. But the swelling has gone out of his foot. He has a slight swelling in his leg. But nothing to complain about. Thanks for all the prayers we really appreciate it.

Finally Done!

Awhile back I had posted on how I was making some baby bands and some baby blankets. So I decided to go ahead and get some pictures of them on here. I have never made blankets before but I was in the mood to do something. I am really pleased with the outcome. Now don't look to hard you might see all my mistakes.





This is a picture of the dinosaur blanket that I started years ago for Elisha and just finished for Samuel. It took so long to sew around those dinosaurs.




I went ahead and made two little girl blankets just in case. But more than likely its going to be a boy.




The baby bands that I made for this new little. I made two different types, not so sure which one I would like best. I think the ones with the arms will be really nice. They have velcro on them so no more safety pins to hold them into place. I am very proud of myself since I am not much of a seamstress. But I am learning and teaching myself.

Tempted and Tried!

I feel with all my heart that the Lord showed me a few years back that we would move back to Oregon. The first thing was to wait on him to show my husband. By the way he did and we both feel that this is the Lords will. But the timing on things we wasn't to sure about. We have a business and we had employees to worry about. We also had two homes to worry about. So we started with preparations and had all our employees go under our partner for payroll so they still had job security, and sold one of the houses instantly. The Lord so worked that sell out for us and the wonderful couple who bought it. We had considered renting the other out but I was to scared and wanted it to be sold. Well during this last year I had a miscarriage my oldest son got poison sumac. Two very stressful things back to back. This all passes eventually and a few months later I end up pregnant again. A blessing from God for sure. I was really sick the first four months, and this is not normal for me. I feel as if we have had one trial after another. Things start looking on the upside we have a contract on our house it looks like the time is almost here. Last week we tried to talk to the sellers to check on things and they won't answer the phone to us. Mmmm makes you wonder whats going on huhhh.....Still to this day no call. So we have officially decided to rent the house out for awhile. So we pray we can get good, honest renters in here who won't destroy my beautiful home. Please pray for us on this one. Then you all know that Lee got hurt and has been on crutches for two weeks so far. It is slowly getting better. So we think that maybe the trials are over and we can get on with move right. NO, I don't think so, our van started having some problems with the a/c so I decided to take it in and see what the problem is today. So in the van goes to the dealership for some checking out and I have a wonderful sister come and get me to have some girl time. We decided to go to hobby lobby and do some shopping and I get a phone call from Lee. He has been trying to call the moving company that we have paid a down payment of to delay our move a few weeks to give him more time for healing. Guess what we can't reach this company for nothing. No one will answer the phone or call us back. So here we are wondering what is going on. So I go to the bank that we paid them with and they already took our money out. Urgghhhh....... So we assumed we are out that $500.00 dollars. Then I told myself that it is just money and things will be o.k. So we decided we needed to go to lunch. While I was at the restaurant I get a call from the dealership, yes more bad news, the will cost me $900.00 to get the air fixed and the brakes were needing done. And hey we are moving in the summer and these things must be done. So lets just say I felt very discouraged today and did a little tear shedding. But I still know that we are to move and that we are just being tried. By the way the moving company finally called back and said they would send us a check for the money we gave them. But for now I will just pray it does happen. But I don't really no if it will. There has been other things that has happened but these are things that stand out to me right now. I hope I don't sound whinny I just want to look back and remember that we were tried but God pulled us through. I know with out a doubt that the time is almost here and that the devil would love for us to stay here and not go where the Lord would have us be. But I so want to do his will, I just pray that I can with stand all that is thrown at me.

The move has been delayed a little because of Lee's foot. We are now hoping for the 7th of July. I will be over six months by then but I feel so much better right now. I have so much energy and the baby moves all the time.

Summer Time!

It is official the summer has hit us here in Oklahoma. The weather is muggy and hot, not a good combination. As most of you know my husband got hurt about a week ago. This has been a definite trial for us, we are not used to him being down. And it doesn't hurt that I am 24 weeks pregnant. So there is a lot of things that I am limited to. So here we are a couple of people who have so much to do and we are limited to what we can do. The yard needs mowed, Lee needs to work, and the moving company is scheduled for less than two weeks away. But how will we make the trip if Lee can't drive? Not so sure, maybe another delay. I sure hope not, but things happen. His ankle is slowly getting better, the swelling has gone down so much but he still has pain in it and can't walk. When ever he rides in the vehicle his ankle will start swelling again. I fear that he might of caused some serious damage. I just pray that it will heal quickly. I thank all of you who has been praying for him I really appreciate it. Now for those of you who don't know how this happened just remember we are not as young as we used to be. Sometimes the things we did when we was kids was foolish and shouldn't be repeated as we get older. Our bodies are more fragile and don't heal as quickly. I am very protective of our kids and you.....
