still here

Well we have Vacation Bible School this week, I helped in the nursery. That was sort of tiring getting home late all week. hubby has been busy building a huge mega deck for one of his customers so we are both just exhausted. But the kids had a super time at Bible School. Next week the two girls are going to a dance camp thing, they will be taught baton,dance,tumbling,and cheerleading. My youngest has been so wanted to get into something like this and we have been hesitate because some of the music and dance at some of these places but this is a Christian lady and suppose to be a christian atmosphere. We shall see.They are excited. Today we have my nephew's birthday party to go to. My hubby is working today to try to finish up that job but he said he probalby will not have it all finished. It has been super duper hot this week, I have felt so bad for him. Yesterday here the heat index was 102, today it is suppose to be worse. Pregnancy is going well , getting bigger every day. It has gone by so fast I guess because I stay so busy. I cannot believe I am already 26 weeks! I had said we would be schooling all summer this year also but we have been so busy we have hardly gotten any school in, oh well got some math in this past week and have been working with the smaller ones so that is the main thing. We are using Christian Liberty this year so I do not have to fret about what I am going to do, I am super excited about that. In Sunday School we are doing the Love Dare study and I just love it, I think every church's young adults should go through it. Every marriage can use a pick me up. Society today just does not see marriage as important and it saddens me to the core. Well I better go get started on some laundry. Have a blessed day.

busy times

I hardly get around to blogging anymore. I really miss reading blogs too but just not enough time in the day for that. This past weekend my wonderful mom and dad kept our kids so we could spend the weekend just my hubby and I. it was great!!! I did get to really missing the kids. My birthday is at the end of this month and I told me mom awhile back that I wanted her to do that for us for my birthday present so this was the weekend she could do it. then last night vacation bible school started at our church, I am helping out in the nursery. so needless to say this week will be really really busy. It starts at 6:00 and ends at 9:00! our computer crashed late last week so Friday night when we did not have the kids we went computer hunting and found a nice one, I hated to have to spend that money but we have to have a computer for dh's business. NOw I am just praying the guy we use to work on our computer before can get dh's business stuff off our hard drive and onto this computer. Pregnancy is going well, just getting super big. I do not like being pregnant in the summer. Baby girl is very very active. WEll that is about it. Better go.

what a Mother's Day

Well as I posted before I had a torn/seperated muscle at the beginning of the week. Then had tons of appts to go to. Then on Wendsday my youngest daughter got sick, then my 2 yr old son got it and then of course Friday I was not feeling well at all. I was suppose to go to a Mother Daughter tea with my mom, grandma, sister, and my 2 girls but of course I missed it due to me being sick and one of the kids still not feeling well. Then Sunday we were gonna go to church and after church go to my moms to grill out. Well we didn't make it there either cause I was still sick so I missed everything for MOther's day. :( then Sunday night our septic tank started backing up in the house so we had to spend the extra money to get it pumped out cause it was full. ugh!!!!!!!!! But on a bright note my husband got me a pretty necklace, anklet, and earrings for Mother's Day so not all was lost. And I do have so much to be thankful for, 6 pretty healthy kids. And a baby girl on the way that so far looks really healthy. My, the Lord has blessed us. All of the sickness and unexpected bills fade and other things come up but one thing I am trying to remember is God is good, and he is good all the time. He has been so good to me , even though I trully have never deserved it.

Things have been crazy around here!!!!

WEll we went on vacation to PIgeon Forge, Tenn. Took the kids to Dollywood, they had a blast and it was nice to get away. When we got back as many of you know we found out we are having ababy girl this time around. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!! Well then I started hurting on my left side, this past Sunday night we had Awana awards at our church and when we got home it was hurting something awful. I got up the next morning and almost could not get out of bed , felt like I could not breathe . I was so concerned for the baby, but I was like I just had a ultrasound less than a week ago. Anyhow to make a long story short and skip all the phone calling, midwife trying to figure out what she wanted me to do,etc... I went in and it turns out I had a torn/seperated muscle. It has been the most awful pain I have had in a long time. I think at times worse than labor. Of course I was suppose to be resting but the next day we has two appts. one at 1:00 and the other at 3:30, we did not get home from those till a little after 5:00. I was hurting something ferious by then but my wonderful sister and mom cooked us supper that night and brought it so I didn't have to worry about that. Praise God!!!!Then of course the next day I had to go grocery shopping cause we were out of everything. In the middle of shopping my youngest daughter says her tummy is hurting and starts crying , so I hurry through my shopping and sure enough we get home she is running a temp and eventually throws up!!!!!!!!! I am just like when it rains it pours. anyhow, she has been better today. Then to top it all off our 8 mth old has been super super whinny ,guess he is teething I dunno. He already has two teeth. But ya know as I was soaking in the nice warm tub last night I got to thinking in spite of if all I would NEVER want another life. I love my life and I feel I am doing what God made me to do and that is be mother and wife. IT may not be a famous job, it is a job we hardly ever get credit for but when I look at my children and see them smile or hear them say I love you, or my 2 yr old come up and ask for a hug it makes it all worth it!!!!!!! God is good, sometimes I think I forget that, in between the cleaning, homeschooling, correcting of attitudes,changing dirty diapers,kissing boo boo's,etc.....God is good and he is good all the time and he gave me these little ones. and they grow so fast!!!!!!! I want to start remembering to just enjoy it. I have wasted so much time with worry. I am just gonna start enjoying every moment.

We ARE Having

A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I am so excited. It will be nice to have a baby girl around again. I am so happy she is healthy, everything looked good at the ultrasound. Our God is a AWSOME God!!!! He has so blessed us.
I wanted to ask if everyone could please pray for my dad, he is having some health issues right now that are a bit worrisome. Please pray for him.

Busy times

It has been so busy around here lately with appts, and just trying to get through everyday things. Everyone is well right now, praise the LOrd!!! It is really nice when everyone is well. Friday , the 24th we leave for a mini vacation. We will come back on the following monday and then I have my ultrasound that Tuesday on the 28th. :) I cannot wait , such exciting times. Just wanted to update you all a little. I know I haven't been posting much but it just stays so busy and actually I stay so tired. This pregnancy has been a bit more tiring than my last few. But it is going by fast. I am over 17 weeks now. :)

ER visit last night

I am really really tired so I am not gonna go into all the details but Issac our 7 mth old ended up in the er last night. When we got there he had a 105 temp!!!!!!!!!! All the kids I have and none of them ever had a temp that high. They did iv fluids and meds, oral meds, sponge baths,etc.... His x ray looked fine, flu test and strep test was neg. They said he has a ear infection and upper respiratory infection. He prescribed him some antiobiotics and some other meds. I got home about 2:45 this morning. WE are suppose to follow up with his doctor monday. So far since we have been back at home he has had no more fever, they told me to keep giving him the motrin and tylenol so that is what I am doing. Please pray he gets better quickly. Thanks and God bless.
