this and that

I hardly ever have just a topic to talk about because I always have a thousand things going on in my mind. LOL
first I want to say in a month or less I may have a new giveaway so be watching out for that. :)
Next I wanted to ask anyone who reads this to leave me a comment of your fave receipe to cook for your family. It can be anything and even be a dessert. I am trying to gather some new things to cook instead of the same old boring stuff. So far this week we will have a little different things to eat so I am happy about that. So if everyone could just leave your receipe!!:) Thanks. Plus I am hoping to do some casserole cooking and that kind of stuff before baby gets here so I will have some food in the freezer that will be fast but good and not processed.
I am starting to take inventory of what I need for baby . I guess I had better seeing I am over 30 weeks now. Not much longer now. This pregnancy has flown by!!!!!!!!!!! I have felt pretty good so far but am getting to the not so comfortable stage.
Things have been a bit crazy around here but I have just been trying to take things a day at a time. That is what God wants us to do so that is what I am trying to do. Our new church has been such a blessing to me in so many ways. I look forward to really getting to know everyone there better. God is good and He has shown my husband and I so many things lately. He really does provide far beyound our needs and so much more. Thank you God for this. Also if anyone has a prayer request I would sure love to pray for you. I pray everyone that comes across my blog will see how much God has done for my family and I. I have been through so much but God has always been with me. He has blessed me immensly. So whatever trials I face daily sometimes I just have to step back and look at the big picture and see if it really is as big as it seems. And I have tell myself frequently nothing is bigger than God.
John 8:28 I do nothing on my own!

update

I have been so super busy that is why no blog post. the kids have been sick for over 2 weeks now and things have been crazy around here. I think it may be getting better so hopefully that part will slow down. We have a appt today for one of the kids, lovely braces appt. I will be glad when she gets them off.
I had my midwife appt yesterday. I am almost 30 weeks , my where did the time go!!!! Number 8 will be here soon. I am so excited to have another blessing and another little girl. Our 3 year old is super excited, he ask daily have I got the baby out of my belly yet lol!! So cute!! He loves his little sister so much now that I have no doubt he will be a big help with this baby.
Still been trying to do some school here and there although with so much going on it has been hard. Well the kids are waiting on me, I have a couple of errands to run. talk to you all later and hopefully can make a meaningful blog post sometime.

question-

Does anyone know how to block someone from your blog?

i am back!

Someone tried to hack my blogger account so they shut it down or that is what they said I guess. But I am super glad to be back and I hope nothing was compromised. Pray nobody got any of my information or anything. I couldn't use my gmail account or my blog. I just wanted everyone to know I am back though.

Busy times and turning 30

EEK!!! As I wrote that it left a bad taste in my mouth . But it shouldn't. I just wonder where the time went. Seems like I am only suppose to be like 21. But the Lord has blessed me so much in my 30 years, beyond what I deserve. I have been through so many trials in my 30 years but things could of been alot worse!!! I have 7 beautiful kids(and one on the way) and a wonderful husband who is such a great provider, husband, friend, father,etc.... But 30, there is no way I am turning 30 today. Oh well I will take it in stride and just look at the blessings I have.
We have been so super busy lately it is crazy. This week Friday we had friends over which was nice. Friday night one of my nephew's had a birthday party. Saturday my 3 yr old son had a birthday party to go to , I had to make a grocery shopping trip, and we watched fireworks that night. Sunday we do church most of the day with church, then eating and fellowshiping afterwards. Then bible study together at night. We had several appts last week as well. Busy, busy times. Before we know it baby number 8 will be here. This pregnancy is zooming by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well just wanted to let everyone know where I have been. I am gonna run and do school with the kiddos, just gonna touch on some math today and work with the little ones on some things. HAVE a blessed day.

Wonderful vacation

In some ways I still feel like I am on vacation being in our new house. I am still in shock of having such a nice place that God has provided us. Everything from buying a house, to the blessing of our children, to being able to go on vacation is all by the grace of God. God is so good to us. OUr vacation was wonderful and we had a great time with my parents. Being 6 months pregnant didn't really bother me either! I am so thankful my kids get those time with my parents like that because those are things they will remember when they get older. I still remember camping and mountain trips with my grandparents!! I sat back watching the kids while they were playing on the sand at the beach and was awe struck with how much God has blessed me with. Our vacation was much needed. Then yesterday we had a awsome time at our new church. We had a women's meeting afterwards and it was really nice for me and my husband loves how they have men's bible study each week. It is exactly what we have been looking for!! Vacation has come and gone though and the daily grind is back. We did not do school today(we school year around for MANY reasons) because the boys are working. They are actually working, not with their daddy today but he dropped them off for them to work for one of hubby's customers. They are growing so fast!!! I am so thankful they can experience what true hard work means so they can provide for their family when they get older. And boy is it hot so I know it is extra hard work! Then my beautiful oldest daugther is really learning how to take care of a household. she is growing so fast as well.
i did want to talk a bit about how thankful I am that some of things I have been teaching the kids have sunk in and how sad I am that some parents just do not understand the teen years are soooooooooo important and teens need to be guarded just like younger children. When we were on vacation I could not believe the very young girls and how they were dressed. Then the last night after the little ones went to sleep my parents stayed with them so we could take the older ones swimming by themselves. Billy and I just sat in chairs and watched them which was really nice as well but the boys came to us and said two girls were flirting with them which is not a huge shock but then they told us they asked the boys to kiss them. the girls were also dressed in hardly anything, so skimpy of a bikini. what in the world are parents thinking. Society today just saddens me and then we wonder why we lose our children to the flesh. We allow it to happen because too many parents are trying to be their children's best friend. And then for those girls to be around by themselves is also so awful. They moved on after following the boys around awhile after deciding the boys were not going to have anything to do with them plus they figured out where ever the boys went we went . They moved on to a young teen who was smoking. It was very sad to see. Parents have GOT to start stepping up. I am so proud of our boys for coming to us about it.
So anyway, we did have a awsome vacation. We took all the kids to REd Lobster which they had never been to. The girls performed with Ta Dah at Broadway at the Beach. We just had a good time!!! Did I mention I love the beach :)

Just got back

from a wonderful vacation with my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More to come later but I just have to say I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the beach. Not so much the immorality but more on that later.
