Wow its 2008!

I can't believe it is a new year already. Where does the time go? My kids are growing like weeds, my baby is becoming a little boy and not a baby. My little girl acts like a teenager not a 8 years old. My oldest son is amazing how he helps me with his siblings, watching over them. He has grown into a young man over night. I am so sad at times but so proud at the same time. They are amazing kids who give me such joy.

I have a husband who adores me and who I adore. He takes wonderful care of all of us. He provides us with the things we need and want. We have been married for 12 wonderful years and the time has flown by so fast. I was just in the mood to think about all that I have. A wonderful husband and 3 wonderful kids.

Update: Yes we still plan on moving to Oregon. I guess only the Lord knows when. We had two houses to sell first and one of those houses was under construction. Well one is sold and the other is almost ready to be put on the market. I am ready for the next phase of my life. So just remember us in your prayers!

My Working Man

Our little boy loves to work with tools. He always is busy getting into something. When ever he sees his daddy working with tools he is so interested. So Lee found him this cute work outfit awhile back and I just found the picture so I had to post it for all to see my wonderful baby at work.

Ice Storm

Wow, how the time just flies bye. I feel as if life has been so crazy lately, and I haven't had the time to get on the computer as much. Well thats not all true I have been on but doing other things. I discovered how to do itunes and I got another addiction. That can be a bad one if I ain't careful. We just got our electric back on tonight and I must say that I love electricity. We had a ice storm here about a week ago and we just got our power back. We are so spoiled now a days. We have internet, cable, dishwasher, washer and dryer. Living with out these things is so hard but do able. I sent my laundry to my mom once to get it done. Know we have the chore of getting our yard cleaned up and clearing out all the tree brush that we have every where. The town of Drumright had to shut off the water for a few days so we went with out water for awhile. We have some wonderful friends who gave us a place to stay.




This is a picture of the tree that decided to come down.

I didn't get a good picture of the tree on our trailer and the one on our roof. We will have lots of fun cleaning the mess and fixing the guttering that is coming down due to this tree. But the good thing is it feel on Lee's truck and and it didn't harm his truck at all. He had to get in the truck and back out quickly while the tree fell the rest of the way down. Since we had a inch of ice on the truck it didn't scratch it.

I am thankful for the gas fireplace that kept us warm and the water to flush the toilets. I am thankful that we was able to buy a generator to keep our food from going bad. God truly watched over us in this time.

I am also thankful that God keeps letting us know that we will be moving to Oregon in time. It is stressful not knowing when but I believe with all my heart he has a plan. And I must say we fail time after time but I know he is here with me letting me know the time is coming and to just be patient. I tell myself we have sold one house and the other one is almost done and will be ready to sell soon. So just remember us in your prayers we need them tremendously.

Branson

Well this last weekend I went to Branson with my mom and sister-in-law. It was nice to get away for awhile, but I must say it always makes me feel so guilty. I went to get my mind relaxed and it did not do it. So much happened in the weekend I was gone that I couldn't relax. All I could think about was my friend Charlotte who was in a car accident and my friend Molly who had her first baby. I tell you what, I feel as if I am the worst friend at times. I did do some shopping and it was nice to shop with out kids. I didn't find much though a baby gift here and there some clothes for the kids and me. But no christmas shopping was achieved. I so am not in the mood to christmas shop. But it is getting time to get it done.

You will not believe what happened to me on friday. I was headed to Tulsa to pick up some checks for Lee. And my van started over heating. What you say, Oh ya it is a 2007, we should have no problems right. Well is there a warranty? NO we have already put 47,000 miles on this thing. So it went into the shop to be fixed. I was expecting a outrageous bill. Thank God it was just a fuse so it won't cost much to get it out. So it is Tuesday morning and I am going to Tulsa to pick it up. Yaa what would I do without my van? We live in it more than we live in our house at times.

When I got home last night I went to see Charlotte and she is a amazing woman. She needs all the prayers she can get her back is broke and it will take awhile to heal. We just pray that God will make her whole again. We also went to see John and Molly's baby, he is so cute with a head full of hair. That kid needs a haircut and he is only 2 days old. My kids were always bald. Well its time to go. Just thought I would catch you all up on me.

Delima

Sleepy bye

My little Samuel loves to climb in boxes, totes, laundry baskets, anything that makes him feel closed in. One night he got real quite and we found him asleep in this tote. I thought he looked adorable but very uncomfortable. So I took a quick picture and we moved him to his bed. So here is a picture of my little man.

QVC

I have a weird tendency to want to shop when I don't feel so good. If I am moody, sad, sick or I guess I should just say any good excuse to shop is a good one for me. Well the other day I was stuck in on a sunday so what did I do. Oh ya I went shopping. No I did not get out of the house I sat on my couch and shopped with the t.v. and QVC. I must say it could become a very bad habit for me. When I told Trina what I did she said I should post a picture so I decided to be a good sport and show you all my new purchases.



O.k. let me tell you what I have here. I bought the kitchen aid chopper. The aero garden (this thing will grow fresh lettuce, herbs, strawberries on your counter top) I am so excited about this purchase. We are growing mint, parsley, basil it is awesome. I got some ceramic serving dishes. A warmer for you food, I forgot to take a picture of that. A nice cast iron pot. Lets just say I did some serious shopping from my couch. I did get more stuff but as I am typing this I feel like a spoiled brat so I will stop and just say I enjoyed myself.

And by the way I feel so much better and thanks for your prayers. God has given much peace today.
