** We had such a great night- thank you to all my friends/family for making my night!! Get ready for next year... I can't wait to have the 3rd annual Party and to have more friends, more food and more prizes for best costumes ( SEE yall will come NEXT year because of the prize, right?? jk! LOL!!) Love yall!

Hello! Hope everyone has had a great weekend- we accomplished the much hated task of cleaning up the garage Sat!! Well really Jeremy did it all I just looked through all the clothes I found for Cash and Em- I felt as though Christmas had arrived early!- I LOVE pulling out the old clothes and remembering when Kayla had worn this and now Em will be sportin it or when Jaxs was a little guy like Cash and had his mohawk with his robot shirt on!! Anyway to what I am thinking about! :) Today is Sunday and after having a headache all day Sat I woke up feeling AWFUL this morning, since the weather has kinda changed I am thinking my sore throat and dull headache is due to cooler night and still warm days ,but as the day goes on I feel worse and worse so pretty sure I have strep throat - YUCK!..... I am soo glad though that we got up and went to church because it was a great sermon today and as always the music rocked! We have joined a bible study group and have just started The Sacred Romance, it has really touched my heart and we are only on chap 4!- I was so looking forward to getting together with my group tonight and talking about it, but since soccer game was at 5 today and school starts back up after two week break 7-8pm would not do so 3-4 was the best time and I laid down then about 10 till 3 decided to, as Blake said this morning at church, hit the EASY button- meaning I felt pretty awful and my couch felt really good- boys were still asleep too so I called and said I wouldn't be there.... So now that I have just spent the past hour by myself reading, actually having a quiet time over pushing EASY button AGAIN I realized I did need that time by myself and God. I LOVE our small group and can't wait till next one, but I think sometimes God opens some "doors" and shuts others so that I could do just what I needed to do - spend time with HIM and yes EVERYDAY I will struggle with taking the EASY way, but I pray that the hours I have in my day ( not enough sometimes for me! LOL) will be focused on Him and by showing others through my actions what He is doing in my life and in my family's lives..... So to my small group- sorry I took the easy button today U know I love ya!!!

I couldn't really think of a title for this one because I have so much emotion in me right now and it has been with me all day so that's what blogs are for , right? to get out our feelings/thoughts. Kayla did a very wrong thing yesterday - I really don't want to get into just what she did because she still has to deal and confront the person she did it to, but right now even though I am still pretty angry that she not only did the wrong thing and in turn disobeyed me and J, I truly hurt for her, my heart aches for her...... When I confronted her with the news that I knew what she did I could see it her eyes as tears streamed down- ashamed and broken almost, I knew she didn't need me to yell or even tell her how disappointed I was in her- she showed all of this in her big brown eyes....... No one ever told me how hard this was going to be ( this parenting thing!) and that no matter how we raise them or try and teach, show them the right way they are going to make the wrong choices, but today even though I was extremely upset inside as to why she would do that- I feel as though she really got it, not because she had gotten caught, or that she has pretty much lost all privileges- even horseback riding this week, but that she understood she not only had done something to her friend, but to God and those where what her tears where from- she was so upset that she had done wrong with God and after I explained He does forgive her and love her always just like her Big Daddy and I do- He still wants her to do the right thing. So she is ready for confronting her friend- very scared, but ready and as I said before my heart just aches for her. All the hurt and pain I may have had in the past is nothing compared to raising my children because I KNOW they are going to do wrong and hurt others and be hurt by others, but if I could just take it all for them I would, I can't though, and I know this- all I can do and promise to do for them is pray and ask my Father above to protect them and show them His light, His truth, and one day when they have babies who turn into 9 year olds they can come to ME and say, "WOW u did a great job Mom, this is so hard, but thanks for teaching me and loving me just as I am!" :) *** I DO hope each of the gets a hard child do deal with though!- LOL!!!!!! ;) so I can say SEE what u put me through! :)
