i feel dumb

i do realize i totally did not spell success right so, forgive me!!!!!

Sucess!!!!

So, I did it! Not only did I leave my baby last night I even put him in the church nursery for the sermon. He loves the music, so I let him stay in there for that and then we took him to the nursery. When david went to get him, he was on the floor playing and having fun with other babies. Then, last night I left my boy with sheena, and they did great. He was happy with them, and didnt give them any trouble. It was sooooo nice to get away with just me and david. I love noah so much, but I realized how much I love spending time with my hubby. We laughed and alot and made fun of eachother. We actually kinda flirted alittle :)!!! oh goodness, but anyway NOah did great and I am glad to know I can leave my baby and he will be taken care of. So, all that to say we had sucess!!!

Leaving my baby

Ok, so my baby is five months old and David and I have only been on like one or two dates when my mom has watched him. So, I decided we really needed to go on a date and leave noah with a sitter because I think it is really important for us to be able to go out just the two of us! sooooo..... my friend sheena is coming to watch my baby boy! I know sheena will take such good care of him, I just have a so many emotions. ok, so your prollly thinking this crazy mother is this stressed about leaving her baby, but I have never left him with anyone but david and my mom. I guess I just hope he acts good, so sheena will want to do it again. :) Anyway, I know she will take such good careof him. I think im going to nap him later in the day tommorow so that when she gets here he will be happy. He tends to be alittle more fussy in the evening because of getting tired and ready for bed. But, I can do this! I know me and david will have alot of fun, and I am going to let myself relax and just be with my hunny!!!!! I love my baby, and I know he will be taken care of. I think I might have a talk with him tonight though about how to treat his babysitter and manners! :) oh goodness, I am such a first time mom!!

"take me out to the ball game"

Last night we got really bored and decided to go to a colt's game! Noah had been to an astros game when he was llike 3 months old, but he really enjoyed himself at the game last night. It wasnt crowded and it was outside. Being outside is one of his favorite things! so, he had all his baseball gear on and looked so cute watching the game. He was actually very interested in the game and the cheering people. I took some pictures of him last night! My baby boy is 5 months old next week! Where does time go?

A heart like His

I have recently started rereading a book I read a while back by Max Lucado. I know now more than ever that sometimes God intends for you to read things that maybe you have already read because the timing is right and there are things to be learned. I do this alot with scripture. I think just because I have read the scripture my whole life I cant get something out of it, and God shows me everytime that this is not the case because it seems I always hear what I need to at that time. I guess that just shows how good God is and how much He loves his children. Anyway, as I was reading this book the first pages seemed to move me. I began thinking of times when I had royally screwed up or done soemthing that I was not proud of. I also thought about my moments of "greatness", and times that I had never felt closer to God. I have always heard the saying that, " God loves you no matter what." Now, this is true I believe Christ loves his children, but in the book Max gave an illustration that I found absolutely relevant. He said when his daughter was younger she was playing at the park and saw the icecream man coming around the corner and said, "Daddy, I want one." He, of course, went and got her some icecream and when he turned around she had dirt in her mouth. Where he had intended to put something sweet and delicious, she chose to put dirt. If only she knew how good the icecream was going to taste. But, did her dad love her even when she had dirt in her mouth? yes! Would he have rather her enjoy the desert he got her? yes! What a picture this gave me of christ's heart and his love for his children. Something I am choosing to remember as a reread this book is ," God loves me just the way I am, but He refuses to leave me that way. He wants me to be just like Jesus." I cannot wait to see what else God has in store as I reread this book! It's kinda neat how God saw a need in my life, and saw questions I needed answers to and He gave me words of one of his children and scripture and has been faithful to show me who He has called me to be. I pray that I can continue to grow and that when Noah and all my kids look at their mommy they don't just see their mom, but a mommy who loves God and who makes it her mission to incorporate Christ in everything we do. I am already praying my kids will not be content with securing their place in heaven, but that they will "daily pick up their cross and follow Him." God, I pray that my children would know you and live according to you word. I pray that I will have a heart like yours. Thank you for loving me even when I choose to put dirt in my mouth.

Crazy months ahead

Man, life has been crazy. I have not been able to blog just because we have really had quite a bit going on. Last weekend, david went to the ranch with brandon and zach (a friend from chapter one bible study). Mari and I went to midland because for a weekend we would be singel mothers. let's just say we love our husbands so much and are so blessed to have them be the fathers of our children. We also decided single motherhood was not for us! anyways neither one of us wanted to be alone over night for a weekend, so we packed up! anyways since then we have just been getting things back in order. Nothing exciting, just laundry and cleaning mainly! I have officially gone through my house and just thrown things out and gotten things the way i want them. soooooo....... next month I turn 22 and so that is way exciting i guess :/ lol and in october noah and I are going to get go houston for a week, and then november we have thanksgiving in midland and december is christmas in houston. Something tells me its going to go so fast, and honestly seeing my little boy grow up so quickly has really made me just want to treasure every moment I have with him. I cannot believe he is going to be 5 months old next week! i cannot believe it! Anyway, lots coming up so just thought I would post a brief version of that!!!
