Well I am going to be off the internet until Easter. God has been dealing with me on how much time I am spending on the internet instead of spending time praying and focusing on him. I have also been lacking on the duties of keeping the house clean and children happy. I have been doing just enough to get by but nothing beyond that. That is not how I want to be rememberd by. I want to go ABOVE and love my children and husband well! I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is going to be VERY hard for me to do but belive with God by my side I can do it!

Hot and Humid!

These past few days have defiently been the dog days of summer. We have been blessed though and have not had too many of them! This weekend Josh is taking the kids to see his mom by himself while I go to Women of Faith! I can not wait!!! It is going to be SOOOO much fun! Yesterday the kids did get a chance to play outside for a short time in the evening. Both boys have diahrah not too much fun! :( I am glad that this work week is over with. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Where has the summer gone?

We have been so busy! I can hardley believe that Friday is Auguest 1st! That means Lily starts school in two weeks! Yikes!!!!!! Today we went and got her back pack. She picked out a Little Pony one. We had a wonderful time in Iowa visiting family. I really did not want to come back! When we got to Grinnell I felt like we should have been home but we had a long way to go. One day I'll be back in Iowa! Today Grandma Trish was at our house so I got to scrapbook some which is always nice. This weekend I am going to go to Women of Faith with some frineds. I am hoping that we will have a great time. While in Iowa we went to Adventureland, shopping and of course swimming. Sand and I ate at the WONDERFUL Waterfront resturant! Yummy!!!!

Got to get one!

About two weeks ago I went to a new salon and had my hair cut. The gal used a FLAT IRON on my hair and I am totally hooked. I am so excited about the way it made my hair look so smooth and sleek. Yup, now I'm in the market to get a flat iron!

Memorial Day!

The dirt and hole before! Notice we are making a flower bed around the tree! :)

Half way there! Lots of sand!

Tada the finished product but not enough sand! :) Oh well we can always get more!: )

We built a sand box over the Memorial Day weekend. It started with a hole, then going to Lafayette to get the supplies. 25 bags of sand, 8 landscaping timbers and screws. This was very interesting because I had no set plan just knew what I wanted. So, when I called a couple of guys from church to come lend a drill I had two men helping with this project also. Needless to say the kids are happy and I'm happy that William will now have a place to dig other than my flower bed!

Christmas

We have had a very busy christmas week. Lily got sick on Christmas eve and is just now getting better. Timmy had fun and got many new match box cars. He was a happy boy and william just loved all the wrapping paper. We have been in South Bend for this week so we can't wait to get back home and enjoy our new toys and gifts. We have spent time with family and enjoyed our time. Please keep us in prayer as Josh is going to start his last semester at IUSB this spring and that we are able to keep Timmy out of the hospital. Please also pray that the Lord will give us direction as to what to do with Seminary.

Facing Your Giants!

Hi! Josh and I had a minute last week sometime to sit down and watch an AMAZING movie called "Facing The Giants" I highly recommend this movie to EVERONE to watch it! It's only on DVD but ROCKEd my world! So, what kind of giants are you facing? Anger, hurt, frustration, trust, depression, fear....we all have our own giants. Watch the movie and let God work on your giants!
