Mothers Day

My Mothers Day!

I find the best gift of the day was just being with my children and loving them. They were so proud of the gifts the each picked out at the dollars store, but I was truly honored by the joy that came with them giving me them!

The day started early getting ready for church..What do I wear? where are my shoes? Can I put on lipstick and don't forget to do my hair..

We finally get in the car and to church to find Seth has his shoes on the wrong feet and Faith is wearing two left feet and the other shoe we know is in the car for Alexis is no where to be found. So it switch the shoes, wear two left feet when you sing and flip flops with your dress for now and Alexis wear your flip flops. So good thing we keep so many extra pairs of shoes in the car for this kind of disaster...

We both have a busy day ahead of us with children's church, praise and worship team, stage set up and children's choir..
By the time church was over I was ready to go home and nap, but we head down to Ivar's and have fish and chips and a short walk on the pier before we head home, grab and movie ice cream toppings and some dinner for later. So I had some dinner but by the time it was 6pm I had a headache and was ready for bed. So we watched our recorded shows and I headed for bed.. No worries Mike puts the kids to bed, not before they all have ice cream.

So another day in the life of a mother right. I think that who ever made all the mothers day cards that say.."Sit back relax and do nothing all day" Isn't a mother. What do you think?

My Husband and I on Mothers Day!


A Special "Shout Out" to all mine and Karen's Leadership kids! You guys rock and we love you! You all did an awsome Job Sunday!

Mothers Day Tea

For Mothers Day Faith and Seth's class put on a Mothers Day Tea..It was so nice to see them both sing songs and look at all the wonderful projects they have been working on for me. One of my favorite things they did was a question sheet where they fill in the blank...like my mom is ___years old. So I had to laugh out loud when I read this one from Faiths sheet.."My mom is sad when her eyes burn from onions. How do they think of these things?? :) Here are some pictures from today.

Spirit of Wawshington Dinner Train

Last night we went out with John and Jess and enjoyed a great night on the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. We cant wait for our next "out of the box" double date. Here are some pictures and I'm sure Jess's blog will have some pictures soon too. Thanks for a memoriable night guys, we love ya!!

Thank Goodness

It's only one!!
While I'm sure everyone had great thoughts about seeing me with a half dozen kids or wishing triplets on me I am happy to say it is ONE!! Just like God planned. So for all those who are bummed out..watch out I may wish 2 or 3 babys on you... and well we know how good I am at the baby thing. ;)
Update on being sick..It still hasnt gone away. We are working on the 4 and 5th medications to see if they work..Lets all keep praying my house and kids need me back, I need me back!
Thanks all..Keep you posted!

Anyone?

Anyone know any good natural cures for "morning sickness" that lasts all day. I have been out for a week unable to go and do anything!! I am willing to try just about anything :) I didnt have this with the other kids so it is a new thing... I did get some prego-pops that are sour flavor that seem to take the edge off, but thats about it. Any thoughts??

Surprise....Be the first to know!

Surprise!!


Although the picture is small...I can tell you for sure it is a baby..

Mike and I were surprised..to say the least...to find out we will be having another baby. My due date is around the end of October. Another ultra sound is scheduled for 5 weeks "just to be sure" its only one baby. We are shocked but at the same time blessed!
One thing I have realized in all this..I have so little control in this life :) The Lord continues to bless me beyond my own comprehension.
"A good man's (woman's) steps are ordered by the Lord"
