Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MONKEY!

It is hard to believe she is 3. We have been through so much the last few years with her, it is a true blessing she is here.

On Saturday, we had a birthday party for her involving all of her little friends, all 12 of them! She had so much fun! This morning when I said happy birthday to her, she instantly said, "I go to my class?!" (she calls gymnastics her class) I thought it was cute.

Tonight ,we are taking the girls to C-H-U-C-K-Y C-H-E-E-S-E. It is sure to be a blast!

10 comandments for parents

This was written when I was in grade nine in a family studies class. I stumbled across it while looking for old Christmas cards. I was surprised to see I actually follow most of the comandments. I am pretty sure I have broken the "thou shalt not say do this or do that" comandment. However, I am comforted to know that if I do ask my girls to, "do this or do that"; I am polite when asking them for help. So, I think I am on the right track for the ideals I set as a teenager for what a parent should be. I just hope my children are happy with it.

My day in reverse.

Today was Pooky Bear's first t-ball game for the year. She did very well especially for it being so cold!

more pics

I am always amazed when I look at pictures of my daughters and realize how fast they have been growing. It seems like yesterday they were babies. I definately miss them as babies, but also am enjoying the freedom that comes with their age. They are both strong-willed children. Pooky bear is definately the drama queen and Little monkey is Curious George in human form.
I wouldn't trade them for anything!

my girls

I had to post this picture, it was too cute. I took it 20 minutes ago.

Inspiration

Chad was not offered the job we had all been praying for him. However for the first time, I recall, he was not depressed about it. He instead became motivated to do something about it. He has an action plan and with God on his side, I know he will find something which with suite both God and Chad's needs. I am excited about this and can't wait to find out what God has planned for him. Just today, I was talking to someone in a similar trade as Chad and he encouraged Chad to apply to all of the businesses in his trade regardless of experience because they are so desperate for people right now. Being that I don't believe in coincidences, I know this was an eye opener from God telling us he still has plans for Chad and our family.

This is a total reminder of Psalm 37

5 Commit your way to the LORD;

trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,

the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when men succeed in their ways,

when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Psalm 37:5-7

One of my biggest struggles is "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him" My patience is getting better. My husbands reaction to not getting the job greatly inspired me to put more trust in God. Chad has put his complete trust in God, and is greatly inspired by our two beautiful daughters to get motivation. I am so in love with my husband right now and am so thankful he has finally realized Jesus is walking along beside him.

Thanks be to God!

AMEN!

Appology

I am sorry for not posting anything recently. Things have been rather chaotic in my house and I have been using my spare time to clean, sort or sleep. Not much is new to me and my family except we are getting ready for Pooky Bear's 4th Birthday. Wow, I can't believe it has been 4 years. I am so blessed to have her and her sister in my life. Children can really change who a person is, I am really thankful for this.

Had to share

Presenting my newest toddler(picture taken today), and my soccer player (picture taken at the soccer facility on Saturday). I needed to share.

Update on family: Chad got his pins out and I have to go for an ultrasound on my wrist, however, my stomach is not doing so bad. Yeah! Chad's dad though is in the hospital with a lung infection and blood clots in both legs. We saw him today briefly and he said he has been much better once they started him on the right drugs, so yeah for that. I officially became a complete pampered chef consultant, big yeah for that! Pooky bear is doing much better on her new drugs for her asthma and poor little monkey is teething 8 teeth at once! We could see and count eight of her teeth, including two molars. Poor girlie! She has been struggling to sleep and has been reliant on tylenol and icy bite soothers. Other than that things are doing really well.

YEAH!

I see the rainbow!

This afternoon I am feeling much better, I still have my wrist in a splint, but that is my only obsticale I am faced with today, YEAH!

And on the note of feeling better, I am going to clean as best as I know how.

Goal for this afternoon:

Make lunch - soup and toast with fruit for dessert

Laundry - at this point anything more than one load a day would be an ackomplishment

Dishes- (this one will hurt, but it is really needed right now)

Reading and enjoy a cup of tea - didn't expect this one did you, I am realizing I will need a break before I wear out.

Bathroom - I can't wait to try this one as I just bought the Mr clean bathroom cleaning kit

Call some people re: Pampered Chef

Then get ready to enjoy my Friday night.

Little sneak

Since Chad and I have been sick, it seems my girls are testing their boundaries to see if they have changed. The boundaries have definitely changed for minor things, but the major ones like meal times have not. Pooky bear today has been really wanting ice cream, but we said she could have it after lunch. To which she replied early this morning, "can I have lunch now?" What a girlie.

My stomach is acting up huge today, but she still makes me laugh so much!

Owe!

Saw this and thought I'd share

This was taken at Pooky bear's soccer game in January. My little monkey definately has Rider Pride! (as an FYI- Pooky bear's team are called Timbit Riders)

A sum up of how our house has been feeling

Poor Pooky bear has been so worn out these past few days, she fell asleep on an old computer chair of ours! She has been more worried about how her Daddy and Mommy are doing, and we are trying our hardest to let her be a kid by playing play dough with her and other fun things kids like to do. It's completely worn her out! I know how she feels! Chad and I are worn out from trying to let her be a kid and stop worrying about us. All the tiredness from all of us was worth it!
