frustrated

Today was just one of those days when I was frustrated. I really had to ask God to give me patience today. The sad part is there is really no reason to be frustrated. so.... as sad as it is thats all there is to this blog!

shiny new tooth

Sooo... finally my eight month old baby has a tooth! I can feel it, and this makes for much relief. Let me just tell you why! NOah's nights have been nothing short of horrible! I was like well maybe a tooth, but I had given up on that explanationfor awhile back, and well this morning after not checking for a long time, I told my mom, "Let me just check his mouth, probably nothing but lets see." Well there it was a little bitty baby tooth making its appearance. So, my son knows how to grow teeth afterall. Teething by far, the worst part of babyhood. They do not like it!!!

on the move!!!!

I will post a really cute video soon, but Noah is officially on the move. He still gets frustrated, but when he wants something he gets it. so, my almost 8 month baby finally learned how to crawl!! It is pretty cute but i am totally ok if he crawls forever. I just dont wanna see my little baby walk any time soon. He is growing up way to fast. lets just slow it down a bit!

today is the day

Today is the day my mom comes to see me and for one week, I will have someone to hang out with while my hubby goes to school and work all week. I am really excited! She gets to see noaha nd that is just great!!!! she will be here around 4 p.m. and i think we are just gonna hang out tongiht because david works until midnight. yuck!

absolute awestruck!

So, I know I serve big God. Let me change that HUGE God, but I love the moments in our walk when you feel like there may be no road out and you are able to completely surrender that area over to Him. Money is an area that I have such a hard time giving over to God. I feel like I have to have control over it because it's so important in these days of living. Well, I WAS WRONG. yeah i was wrong big time. I learned very quickly that with my strength alone I could not over come the worries of finances. I would not be able to pay bills no matter how hard I or David worked. I knew things were not looking very good, but I didnt panic. I actually did not panic. I went to the father and I decided along with david, that we would completely surrender everything. We didnt know what the future held with money, we just knew we had done everything we could have and we were working towards a goal of serving God and letting everything else come accordingly. Well, let's just say God blessed our socks off. What an amazing day it was today when a dear friend that hasn't even known us for very long at all decided that he would listen to voice of the Lord and follow it and obey it. In turn, that completely knocked us off our feet. God is so faithful to us. I just cannot believe how much He loves us and loves taking care of us. I just can imagine his face when we realized that we served such a big God who loves us so much and will always provide for us if only we would stop for just a second and ask him to be our everything. I am just completely in awe, and I know I have learned that I dont need someone to bless us for me to realize how good God is. Because He just is. Even when things dont look up He is good. He is good all the time! Thank you God for loving me and taking care of me!!!

I know this is an old picture, kyl but it is all i have we need new ones, again Happy birthday!!!

Happy birthday little brother!

Well, everything is going pretty well. I am soo excited my mom is coming friday. It s kind of exciting to have someone to hang with for a few days. I think it will be alot of fun. Until then, we just have some cleaning and catching up to do.
Today is a very special day. It is my baby brothers bday. He is 19. Like that sounds really old to me. Not that it is, but for my little brother to be 19 thats crazy. I keep forgetting though that im getting older to so, I guess he has to also. anyway, Kyl, I love you. I hope you have an amazing day today. I miss you all the time and wish i could see you more often, but try your hardest to enjoy this day without me.
Happy 19th birthday!!!!

baby update

Noah is doing so much better. His fever is gone, but he has a really bad rash on his body due to the virus. I guess it is just his body's way of getting rid of it. So, that is good, but the nights are kind of ridiculous at this point. FOr three days we did nothing but hold him and sleep with him and so on, so now he thinks that is how it always is. So, anyway the important thing is we are better and getting back into the swing of things. Today was productive for me.I did the mountain of laundryI have been putting off for like 3 weeks seriously. I cleaned the whole house. I did the heaping pile of dishes which I hate with a passion. So there ya go, my productive day!!! Tommorrow is pretty uneventful, but david does have to work form like 8- 1:30 ish and that does not sound fun to me. I really like him here at night, but it looks like Ill be riding the night alone. So if ya think of me, call me or soemthing to keep me awake while I am waiting for him to get home!until next time!

my soo soo sick baby boy!

Well, saturday my sweet baby woke up burning up and sure enough the next day he was running 102 fever. Man let me telll you, there were many tears shed these past few days. It is absolutely horrible seeing your precious baby totally not himself, lethargic and just wanting to lay on your chest and sleep. We took him to the doctor and he has a virus. Yuck! That bad part is there is nothing they can do. Viral things have to just run their course could take 24 hours- 7 days. Well today he woke up a little happier but almost threw up at the thought of eating his cereal. SO, I think he is still alittle weak, but he has had motrin in hius system which is good and that has kept the fever down. Today I am going to see how long he can go withouth spiking a fever again before I give him medicine. TO anyone who knows noah and the immense amount of personality he has, I think you would feel sorry for him. I think for a first time mom it is that much scarrier and sad because he has never been sick not once till now. I guess this is all just part of being a mommy. I will keep you updated. I will not let this stop me from voting I tell you. Noah and I are meeting david at 1:45 p.m. to vote!! Hooray. Well until next time..... pray for my baby!

Horrible at blogging.... moved..... halloween.... mom coming!

So, the title about sums it up, but I guess I can go into detail. Well, it has been over a month since I last posted. yeah that's horrible, but I do have good excuses for at least the last week. I am going to try my very best to work on posting a blog once at least every 2 days or so. That will be leaps and bounds better than what I have been doing. Ok, so an update:::

1. We moved. I did blog about this last, and we did it. We moved into our super old way cheaper home. Thats ok though when we got all of our stuff in here, it wasnt so bad and we are beginning to settle down. I gave myself a week to unload boxes and hang decor, and I have to say I almost made that deadline.So thats that.

2. Noah!! SOooooo big! MY little guy is just amazing me. He turned 7 months on October 22nd. He sits up and is so close to crawling its not even funny. HE can self feed himself the little gerber puffs. He has a ton of personality. His favorite word is mama. He is so sweet and loves to cuddle. It has taken him awhile and he is still adjusting to his new room so nights have not been the best but we are getting better.

3. Halloween was pretty nice. Not cool cause david had his first night of work so, I was pretty lonely but noah had lots of fun as a teddy bear.

4. God answered our prayers and my husband now has a job!!!! yay Praise God!

5. My mom is coming in two weeks, and I am super excited. I really think it will be fun to spend some time with her. She is coming by herself. No babies, no little people, just her. Thats awesome! I am glad her and noah will get such good time together and I am just glad I will have her to keep me company that week.

6. David is getting a root canal in two weeks, along with lots lots lots of other work done after that. so that is no fun.

7. I am praying fervently that God would bring some really godly couples that we can hang out with and fellowship with. David has got a group full of guys that are just awesome in his small groups and there are some girls that I am friends with, but there really arent very many couples we hang out with very much, so that is a prayer of mine also.

Anyway, I am putting pictures of noah on halloween so you see how cute he was!!!... BUt there is your update!! I will blog again sooner than last time I promise!!!
