Undistracted Devotion

This sermon really hit home with me, and I would venture to say, most Mom's out there or anyone for that matter in this day and age can relate to the busyness and distractions of this world that pull us away from our first love, Jesus Christ.

Happy First Birthday Grace

Gracie/Woosky/Boosky/Woosky Booter,
A year ago today, right now I was getting my epidural (close enough) and in an hour, you were born. What a blessing and a joy it is to be your mother. Your smile, laughter and giggle are some of my greatest joys. I thank God for bringing you into my life.

Love,
Mama

Weekend Fun


Quick update and just forget the past 6 or so months without a post, kay...

We went to The Woodlands Resort for the weekend! It was an amazing blessing to actually get to go somewhere as a family during Spring Break! Now that hubby is at a new job we actually get to spend weekends together and it has completely changed our family dynamic, for the good.
Here are some pics of the girls. Grace turns 1 this week and it's amazing how fast the past year has gone. How did I end up with a 3 and 1 year old? I have some idea how it happened, but I am still amazed at these two little blessings.


Waiting for Winna to come get us, sittin' in the wagon.



Sisters.

First trip to the pool, "What is that?"

Random Questions

Do people actually talk face to face anymore or does everyone just twitter their husbands?

Why is my 10 month old all of a sudden getting up at 6:30 am?

Why does my 3 year old think she needs to smell her sister's bottom? Maybe cuz she sees me doing it?

Why does the weather keep going from 80 to 30 every other day?

Why am I complaining? I could live in KY? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Why?

Tagged in Facebook, use for blog...

I still can't understand how so many people have time for the social media thing. I don't et my laundry done as it is...

Anyhooo. .. did this in facebook and thought, hey let's post something over here. If you feel so inclined, do it yourself and drop me an email, twitter me, facebook me, whatever it's called and I might see it when I dig out from my never ending pile of things-to-do-that-seem-to-never-get-done.

So I present, 25 random, and possibly strange, things about me.

1. I have never plucked my eyebrows. Ever.
2. I have been married 5 years.
3. We went to Costa Rica on our honeymoon. I highly recommend it!
4. My husband and I quit drinking in August of 2008. We decided that the way we used alcohol was not honoring to God nor was it setting an example we wanted our children to see and follow.
5. After many years as an atheist, agnostic and growing up Jewish, God opened my eyes and saved me in June of 2007.
6. Being a Christian has brought me more joy, happiness and peace than I ever thought was possible and in a way I never imagined was possible.
7. I love my two girls, but would love to have a boy next time. Not sure I would know what to do with one though!
8. I have worked for The Woodlands Resort & Conference Center for almost 10 years.
9. I have a BS in Kinesiology with a minor is Psychology. I do marketing for a living and I love it!
10. I don’t understand how so many people have so much time to blog, twitter, facebook, etc. How do you guys get anything done?
11. My favorite sound in the whole wide world is the sound of my girls laughing.
12. I have a foot fetish. Don’t come near me with those things. Toe fungus commercials creep me out.
13. I used to be a personal trainer. Now I work out about once a year.
14. I have a brother and a sister that are the same age for 8 months out of the year, but the only way they are related is through me. (Technically they are both half, but I have never ever thought of them this way.)
15. I am a very selfish person. I am trying very hard to overcome that.
16. I want to be a better wife and mother than I am.
17. I am really bad and keeping up with people.
18. Most weeks I don’t go anywhere except Walmart and Church.
19. I am an extremely amatuer photographer, but I would love to spend all my time taking photos.
20. I have a blog, but rarely post on it anymore. Doesn’t matter cause my 5 readers I had before have long since disappeared.
21. Both of my daughters were born the day before they were scheduled to be induced, a week late. They like the threat of induction apparently.
22. I wish I was better at doing the family thing. I am bad at keeping up with my family.
23. I went to 5 different elementary schools in two different states.
24. I lived in Mexico when I was little and spoke pretty good Spanish. That’s all gone now, despite 4 years of Spanish between 8th grade and college. You don’t use it, you lose it.
25. I am not going to tag anyone for this since most everyone who cares to do it, already has.
