Stormie

My pretty little girl who gives me a run for my money. I was remembering when awhile back she got real sick and she gave us quite a scare. She was having real high fevers and it was making her go out of her mind. I remember crying and the thought of her being retarded scared me. I know that thru God she was made whole, and I need to be thankful for her personality.

Herb Garden

I thought I would show you all my herb garden. This little thing is really cool. We have enjoyed it. I did finally decide to put it up until we move though. My little garden had been revived twice already and I wasn't ready to start over with new herbs yet. But I will say it is a really neet thing to have.

Pictures of the house

This first picture is of the house before we tore the wall out. And if you look close you can see the ugly cabinets in the kitchen.
I need to take some pictures of the final outcome so maybe next time. Just wanted to post a preview of the house in progress.
I have some more pictures but I can't figure out how to make them smaller so they will fit on my blog. So maybe when Trina has the time I will have her help me. PLEASE!

Morning Sickness

I woke up this morning puking my guts out. Not a good feeling as most of you know. I have had some nausa the last few weeks but nothing like this morning. And of all mornings it would be when I have four extra kids. Thank goodness my mom was down the road to come to my rescue. And the kids were very good. So mom came and made breakfast while I staid near my best friend this morning (the toilet). Its now noon and I feel so much better. The kids have cleaned and done some school. So I think the rest of the day will be a lazy day.

My friend Silvia is on her way to her Aunts funeral and I have her four children. The kids are enjoying themselves so much. I woke up to them playing store with Stormies clothes and dressing up with them also. They assured me that they would be putting them up when they are done. So we will see.












I took some pictures of the kids this morning so I thought I would post some pictures of them.

A Beautiful Day

We had the most beautiful day today here in Oklahoma. The weather was in the 70's and 80's. As the morning was going by it hit me that we needed to go to the zoo. So I got on the phone and called a dear friend of mine and asked her to join me. We had the best time together. Just walking and visiting and letting the kids spend some time together. My friend Silvia means the world to me. And her kids are very special to my heart, they call me Aunt Cherrie and I love it. They always give me lots of hugs and this always touches my heart because we have such a special bond. The zoo really was not up to par but the company sure made up for it. Most things were shut down for the winter so we did a lot walking and letting the kids play.

How do I describe this wonderful friend of mine. She is kind and always speaks good of others. She is wise and has much patience with her kids. We got to know each other when she was pregnant with her youngest daughter and they stayed with us. I can't believe it has been almost been 5 years. I was thinking about how her family is so dear to me. Her mom is one of the best ladies I know. She has been a huge example to me in life. And when I think of a older sister in our church she is one of those who I think about. Someone to go to for advice, someone to look upon and see the good she does, and the example that she is for us to follow. I pray and hope that the Lord will help me be wise in my life decisions so I can be that good example that I see in these two sisters. Thank you Silvia for being such a good friend to me and sharing your mom with me from time to time.

Sadness was in the air today since Sis. Betha died. My heart was heavy for our loss but happy that she was in no more pain. I know it was a hard day for you Silvia and I thank you for going with me. I am so sorry for the family and there loss. We love all of you very much.

SUPER BOWL

We had a nice little super bowl party. My cousin Jeff and Stephanie came down from Texas to enjoy the fun with us. I am not into football at all. But I do enjoy making the food and getting together with good friends. Kevin and Michelle came to join the fun with the kids. And John and Molly came also. We had a real nice time visiting and eating all evening long. I so enjoyed seeing the little babies that Michelle and Molly have. They have the cutest little bundle of joys. Seeing them does get me a little excited about the new baby thats coming. I am finding it hard to get excited about this baby. I can't wait till I get to the half way point. So then maybe my excitement will hit me. Well the Giants won and the house has settled down and I am tired. So for know I will say good night.

Lost and Found

The other day I took my watch off by my bed. At least I thought I did. My days were busy and my mind goes at times. I all the suddenly realized that I haven't seen my watch for a few days. But were could it of gone. So the search began we were scouring the house to find this very important watch. Lee just bought it for me for Christmas. I then thought that putting it on my night stand is not a good idea since I have a two year old who could reach it. I began to get very depressed about loosing this item. I offered the kids a reward for who ever found it with hopes of it appearing. I was praying constantly, asking the Lord to just let me find it. I just knew that Samuel probably put it in the trash and the trash just ran the other day. I had thoughts of the trash man giving his wife my really nice watch that he found in the trash. That night in bed I kept thinking that I needed to look in Stormies purses. My little boy loves purses so maybe it will be in there. The next morning I was picking up the house and went into Stormies room and saw her purse so I looked inside and there it was my watch. My day has been so much better. Thank you God for bringing it back to me. Such a small thing to pray about but it was very important to me.
