GGG!

Fun was had by all over this last weekend at the Girls Getaway with God. I went with Nikki, our high-school staff member (and friend:), and 5 girls from our high school on a girls only get-away weekend. It was so much fun! We ate, shopped, played games, swam, walked, talked, had prayer and devo time, and slept very little. I am so glad that we all got to enjoy the weekend together and make fun memories.
Lilly and Judah had a great time over the weekend at my parents. They were on their best behavior until I got back.:/ Funny how that happens. But Lilly is sick today, so maybe that was just the preliminary outbreak of sickness. That seems to be a pattern with my kids...before they actually are sick, that have bad attitudes and act out. Hopefully she will be over it soon as this week is full of things to do and places to go and jobs to get done!
I will post some pics from the girls weekend soon. Just don't have the time to wait for the camera to download.

Here are some pictures of the kids at my parents house last week. Fun times outside in the yard and hangin with Mimi and Grandpa...

YAY!

I finally have something new and exciting to share! My sister Corrie and her boyfriend of 4 years got engaged over the weekend! Yay! So excited, so happy, and having fun planning the wedding.

My Little girl is so big now and when I see these pics I practically cry....she has grown up so fast...

A Month.....

Its been a month, or more than a month actually since I last posted. Not like there is anybody waiting with bated breath to hear what is happening in our life. It has been our normal life, happily spiced with the variety of a cousins play, birthday's and holiday's, shopping days, and play days. I am blessed by my family and friends who are a constant reason to smile, cry and rejoice together. We are privileged to be loved so greatly by our Heavenly Father in so many ways, through so many experiences and without condition.
The Summer is here! Beach days, swap meet days, and HOT DAYS have become the regular routine. We are looking forward to the guys DLT and the girls GGG as well as Summer Camp at Hume Lake!
Hopefully there will be some exciting news to share soon, something new, something different or maybe just more of the same. We shall see.....

It's been awhile....Lilly was sick last week with the stomach flu for a few days and then this last weekend I was under the weather. Just feeling completely drained and exhausted. I spent a lot of time at my parent's house last week. They helped me catch up on some rest after being up for four nights and days with Lilly. And then on Friday night I thought I was going to be sick so I just went to bed and Shad took care of the kids. I felt O.K. on Saturday.
Saturday night Shad took me out on a date for Mother's Day. He researched some natural food restaurants and we went to a special place at the ocean after that. It was really nice. I felt loved and appreciated. And then I started feeling sick again so we just went home and I went to bed. How boring am I! I just hope I can get over this and get some energy back.
Lilly and Judah are growing and developing so quickly! Everyday it is something new. I love to hear them talk to each other. They are so cute how they converse, of course when they are not arguing! I am seeing glimpses of what is ahead. :)
Mother's Day was a nice day. We went to church and enjoyed a good service and then we went out to lunch with my parents and Corrie to a favorite restaurant out by the water. It was a really relaxing day and everyone had a good time. I am so thankful that I can celebrate my Mom and be with her. She continues to love me no matter what, and encourage me in the Lord all the time. Her example and courage is a constant reminder and inspiration to me. I love you Mom!
Shad has been on the go a lot this last week. This week will be a little better I hope. It was nice to connect with him this weekend and have his help when I was not able to do the normal routine.
Well, I'm running out of things to say or write about. I'm just going to try and make the best of whatever happens today, however much energy I have, and however good or bad I feel.

Not much to write I think. No new exciting news, nothing out of the ordinary.....We just had our family day today. Went out and did errands with the kids and ate a Mexican lunch. Now I have a few quiet moments while the kids sleep.
Judah informed me the other day that he is "bigger now". And so I asked him when did he get bigger. He said, "Tuesday". So there is something about Tuesday's that make things grow.
Had a grumpy week last week. This week is a little better. Need to jump start my mind and heart. I need to make proactive choices about my attitude and discipline of the kids.
