Lots of changes.....

Well, Lets just face it I dont blog well! But here I am once again trying to keep up. Lets see where to start...... David graduates this weekend, can I just say I am blessed and I am soo proud of him. Now, I know I do not have a degree right now but in time, God's time, I will. Right now I am just enjoying being a mom to noah and whatever kids we have in the future!!!! Also, we are MOVING! and this will take place in t-minus 4 days. I am thrilled! We will be moving to houston. After saturday, the job search begins. Please pray we will find the church God wants us at and that Davids job search will go smoothly. Anyway, Noah is going on 14 months. oh my goodness!! The baby is not a baby anymore. He is such a little boy who loves to play trucks and make driving noises, and play with animals, and in the mud! So, I know this a pretty boring blog but i felt like updating everyone on what our family will be up to over the next few days!!!! I love my baby and husband!

I HATE

DIAPER RASHES!!!!! NO, not me my baby!!! sad sad day!

what a cute kid

We went for noahs post op appointment for his ears today and praise God his ears are clear and everything looks great, but it doesnt explain why last night he was running a low grade fever. Why does he get sick so much lately? The minute I take him to the gym child care he gets some little virus. Again, I hate day care! But..... He sure is one cute kid!

I tried coming up with something better than bullets....

I know i know its been a really long time since i have posted but to be real honest..... nobody reads this but my mom lol. oh well.... so here we go with my bullets
* Noah got turned one!!!! Oh my. where does time go!

*Noah got tubes.... praise Jesus it went well

* I am trying real hard to live in the present even though I want so much to be in the future...

* we have some really exciting stuff happening soon

* david graduates i may !!! yay!

* we got to isreal in may!

* We are moving to another city....!!!!!!!

* We are trying a new church next week... we have been going to one, but got invited by some old friends back theirs. we figure we would give it a whirl since we really are pretty comfortable with them and feel pretty welcomed, hmm so we will see.

* and........ I have started selling baby wipe cases. they are pretty popular, and Im really enjoying having a little extra.

* I think this is enough bullets


im thinking i may cancel this thing, I havent decided yet, im not very good at it.

Busy busy busy wth crazy unexpected stuff

ok, so there has been alot that has happend since i got back from houston. I had a wonderful visit in houston, it was great seeing those great folks i call family and it was just refreshing, but i loved coming home to my husband who of course was still working and going to school like a crazy person. He was feeling much much better wheni returned which was really great, but the from the time i landed till now and into this summer it is going to be crazy.

1. Noah is turning onen on the 22nd. ahhhh cant believe it. i will be mailing out invites this week but the funny thing is that the invitations are completely wrong on the time and place lol. They are too cute not to send out and they cost money but i will be contacting you with a different park and time if you recieved an invite. My bad, I have never planned a birthday before so i was unaware of the concept of reserving a space. We have family starting to come in on thursday the 19th so im super siked.

2. My poor noah is getting tubes. yes he is having surgery and i hate it. I know its not a huge thing but still my baby is going under and going to be putting his little life in the hands of someone other than me and my husband. He will be getting them on the 30th. please pray it goes well.

3. We are about to start looking for jobs for david. He is getting close and its time. We have decided that we are going to look into buying a house. im super excited becasue thats like dream of mine to have my own house to do whatever with and decorate how i see fit and not worry if my landlord will keep money for it. BUt yeah so we are looking for houses and will be moving to the houston area around summer time.

4. My husband and I are going isreal may 30- june 15th i think are the dates. although i am excited it kind of freaks me out being in another country number one away from my baby. He will be staying with my mom being spoiled for two whole weeks. I need to get on memorizing the "sermon on the mount". I am horrible at memorizing but im trying.

5. we are going to midland this weekend and the weekend after noahs party for davids dad becoming an elder so that should be fun.

so these arent order or occurrence but it gives you an idea of how kind of crazy things are here. pray for my baby and for our transition to being grown ups :)!

houston bound....

The past two days I have had a very sick feverish husband. I have been trying to nurse him back to health but lately i cant do anything he just wants to sleep. I feel sooooo bad for him. I wish i could be sick for him. On another note, noah and i have been really bored. I have all the dishes done, all the laundry done, the house is clean, and so we have just been hanging out. well we went on two walks today, we ate at subway, we played outside, read every book, watche dbaby einstein like 12 times, and then ate yogurt like it was water. so needless to say we are BORED! so my loving husband said to go to houston. He was like you will have fun there for a week. He has too work and school so much right now that it wont be much of a change. So anyway we are leaving for houston tomorrow on a plane. i kind of feel bad for leaving as a wife but he encouraged it and so i fugre it will be ok. i will miss him like crazy. i hope you get better fast babe!!!!!! houston bound....

whats going on

Well, I dont know of very many who read this but i know i have not written in awhile. So i wanted to do a little update of everything.
* Noah is turning one next month. ill try and hold back the tears! He is so big and happy and loves to play!
*On another note he has been sick going on hmmmm 3 months. He has ear infections and colds and just the works. soooo we go and see an ear specialist on march 3rd with the possibility of getting tubes. Now I really dont like the idea of this but if it puts my poor baby out of his mirsery I can suck it up. So more to come on that later....Pray that God does a miracle and heals his ears for good and the tubes are done away with.
* David is still working from 7-4 student teaching and workin 7 pm- 1 am at hastings. its a crazy life for us right now not being able to see him, but its gonna be worth it i hope.
* I am doing good, just keeping up with a baby. I actually got a mani/ pedi for valentines day from my husband and that was really great for me!
So thats it, not alot happens around here but I wanted to update everyone. hope everyone is having a wonderful february, its almost over can you believe it?

his smile

Noah's smile! There is just nothing like it. I was washing dishes today in the kitched and noah was in the living room just playing and watching his movie. I turned around and he was just watching me from the other room and he gave me just a priceless smile. One that you could just swear if they could talk they would say, "I love you and I am glad your my mom." It was just such a great feeling seeing that today. It was something that he knew i needed and it made my day so much brighter and blessed. I love my little guy, ya know. now that he is older I sometimes get into such a routine that i forget to just sit and marvel at his beautiful smile!!!!!! Mommy loves you baby boy!

much better

I am much better today, I do apologize for my complaining. God seems to hit me upside the head when I do stuff like that, so I'm working for very hard towards being content. Anyway, today is good day. My husband has off from his second job. So when he gets home from student teaching, I will have someone to hang with tonight and it will be absolutely wonderful. I have some errands to run and then I have got to get my house under control. It is just messy and disugsting, along with probably like five loads of laundry. So, I better go but I did want to post something quick! Ill put up pictures soon, We got a new computer and I dont have any on here!!!!

Can I just complain alittle?

Do you ever have those days where you feel you might just have hit your absolute limit? well ok so this really will just be me complaining but i really just have to let it all out. so feel completely free to stop reading NOW... :) well, my noah is sick again mind you he just got done being sick like a week ago from being sick for three weeks and now we are back on meds with two ear infections. Thats complaint number one. Number two: im so tirfed of having no friends here in san angelo, plain and simple I have tried but I just am not sure where God would have me "fit in" if you will. So today i was tired of being home and alone so i packed noah up and we went out for a picnic at the park and it was nice, I was still by myself but something was nice about just getting out. # 3: I miss my husband terribly. He student teaches from like 7 am- 4 pmm and then works 7 pm till 12 am. I am so proud of him and i know he is making things in the long run or short run actually, come may, alot easier on all of us, its still just hard. So those are my complaints. sorry bout all this but ya know i already feel better and i think im ok! :) please excuse my bad attitude, things will get better sooner or later i know it!

Noah's 1st haircut!

BEFORE

AFTER

Today was a very big day. Noah went and got his crazy hair cut. It was bittersweet for me. I know he needed it oh so badly, but I was sad to see his little baby hair cut off. He did sooo good. He just sat there and watched her do it in the mirror and was loving his new hair cut. They gave us a super cute certificate and a bag for his little hair and then we got a really cute picture of him and his hairdresser. He is still my baby boy but he looks just so much like a big boy now! Here are some before and after pictures of Noah. I only have a couple of pictures of the after, but i will continue taking. I have probably a hundred of him actually getting his haircut. His daddy could not put the camera down.

update all sorts

It's been almost a week and I thought it might be time to just update everyone....

My brother..... He is doing better i think. He has gone back to school but has no car and is waiting to retrieve the things from his truck once the investigation is over. should be next week sometime. We found out through a friend who played at the man's funeral who died that the funeral was so touching. She told us that the wife called the pastor that morning and told him that her and her family were going to be ok but she was really worried about a 19 year old boy having to deal with this. She went on to have a moment of silence and prayer on my brother's behalf. Man, makes me cry because they do not know my brother but they have so much compassion for someone they never have even met in the midst of all this. I believe this gave kyl some comfort.


Noah.... is finally better! Oh thank you. he is just a little conjested but things have healed up and we are good. HE is ten months now. oh man. He now says hello, mama, dada, uh oh, and waves byebye. he nods no! he wont nod yes!he is standing so well and we have had many steps taken we are just working on the confidence. he dances and sings so well :)

David... started student teaching and works a job so he is gone pretty much everyday form7 to 4 and then leaves at 7 for work until 1 am. we hardly get to see eachother and it gets pretty lonely cause he is pretty much the only person keeping me company so its been hard on me and noah without him, but man in may he is done and that is soo worth it!

Me..... im doing good. in the midst of just chaos these past few weeks, i have learned to be content. God is teaching me a whole lot of things right now because I have made more time for him. just me and him and i feel satisfied. life is good though.

Well, i have a baby at my feet ready for a nap so i will go but for anyone who reads this there is a short update on our family.

a cry for prayer

Monday was a day family will never forget. We recieved a phone call letting us know that my little brother had been in a car accident involving another car and an 18 wheeler on his way back to college station. At this moment, emotions of every kind rushed through us. I, personally, wanted to leave and go to my brother's side. No one on the scene was supposed to survive. I got a phone call from my mom letting me know the hospital kyl was at and that she was on her way to his side. I was on the phone with her as she passed the scene, only to witness my brothers truck smashed under an 18 wheeler. Sobbing is all I could hear.The prayers were lifted form all over texas from relatives and family member, church members, and old friends. Mom walked in to see my brother as a living miracle. He lived and not only did he live but he walked out with an hand injury, tendon damage, stitches and cuts on the other arm. The next day, we found out the man in the other car did not survive. Yesterday, we found out his name and read his obituary. All I could think about was, "Please God let him be a believer." Through reading he was a man of gentleness and kindness and loved the Lord with eveyrthing he had. He was loved by so many people and so many comments were made to him about how patient and wonderufl he was. They talked about how much he valued salvation and his family. He was especially close with his only daughter who is in highschool. This pains my heart, and my brother is in a state of grief and guilt and a heavy heart right now. Please pray for him as he deals with this. The enemy has no place near him. God spared his life , so that he could have a second chance. He has already decided that he lived for a reason and he will not let this second chance be wasted. I love my brother , and i cannot imagine my life without him, but for a split second I had too. Thank you Lord for sparing my baby brother's life. Please keep him in yours prayers for emotional, physical and spiritual healing, and the family who lost a dad, husband, son, and friend.

It is 3:50am

I am sitting here with my son and husband and we are all staring at eachother. yeah thats right..... this was what happend.
10:00 p.m layed noah down to sleep
11:00 p.m. noah wakes up crying
every five minutes crying
12:00 am david gets home from work, noah is wide awake
1:00 a.m. screaming
2:00 a.m. screaming
3:00 a.m. up to play and this is where we all are right now
I dont even know what to do or how to go about this. I thought maybe he was sick but he is in the best mood of his life. oh man we are tired. i cant see straight. I have a headache. I really wish I could snuggle up in my bed, but no my baby reminds me that is not going to happen.

Are you kidding me!?!?!?

Are you kidding me? my son has been sick for two weeks (look below at the last post). So i think were almost done with everything. Thrush i think is getting better, antibiotics for ear aches getting better, and tonight he starts running a fever and gets the viral rash like he had the last time he ran a fever at 7 months. Oh my goodness. did i take him out too soon while his immune system was down or what??? So, back to the doctor we go tommorow. Please pray for this baby, he just cant seem to catch a break. For a baby who has only been sick once this second time will not leave us alone.

blogging had taken a back seat to a sick family!

Well, it has been crazy!!! here is a little update of the last three weeks! We spent christmas in houston which was amazing and wonderful as it always is, but christmas eve I pretty much spent it over a toilet throwing up!!! Then that whole bug traveled throughout the entire family, mind you I have five siblings! Then I get this horrible cold, and that begins to travel. At the end of our stay David gets what I think was a minor case of the flu so we decided not to ride home with him, but he had to be home for work. So me and noah were in houston till who knew when. I finally booked a flight home last monday because I was ready to be home. Not to mention I had a sick baby because noah then caught the horrible congestion and cold. We finally get home and I take noah to the doctor and he has two bad ear infections. Four days later, he has developed thrush due to the antibiotics. Oh my goodness!!!! So thats it right there in a nut shell. That was our christmas, and now we are still recovering two weeks later! so I think we may have it under control because we are down to just noah have minro ear infections almost gone and some thrush that is already going away. Now sickness please stay away! So this is why I have not blogged! BUt pictures of christmas and all that goodness will come soon, but for now we are just gearing up for another semester then graduation for my hunny!
