I'm still here.......

I bet you all are wondering where the pics of Austin's 4th Birthday party are?
Why I haven't blogged in over a week?

Well, my internet line has been down for almost 3 days -- I'm finally back online -Yeah. My dad was in town on Sunday night and we had a short visit with him.... Austin and Addi just love to see their "Bampa!!!" (as Addi would say)
My kids have been so demanding at night when it is bedtime that one or both of us have been laying down with them and we are so exhausted we end up falling alseep and then getting up and going to be about 11:30 every night.
Work has been paperwork, meetings, phone calls, evaluations, visits, and more and more paperwork.... I'm beginning to think paperwork is the 'pits'.
Tony has been on call and is still on-call for the next few more evenings.....

We actually went for two bike rides with Austin on his new bike but where are the pics.

It's LIFE fun, we all have our busy season of the year..... we all have things that keep us so busy that we can't seem to enjoy our friends, or we feel like we are in a whirl wind of STUFF!!
I hope your day and week are going great.... Have a great weekend.
I know we are making plans to enjoy ours!

Pictures to come soon!!!

Making Memories!

It started with an Easter Egg hunt Friday morning at Daycare..... to a flashlight egg hunt at the park Friday night..... Austin and Addi had so much fun hunting those eggs the Easter Bunny left behind. Now what's your priority ??--- hug the Easter Bunny or pull up the pants... Addi chose Hug the Bunny first....
{she has no clue this will embarrass her later}

It's hard to stop when your running in Flip Flops.... Austin almost did a header -- but only lost his headlamp!

HURRY!!! HURRY!!! HURRY!!!

"I have two mommy!!"

Finally a picture with the EASTER BUNNY !!!

Saturday morning New Hope Easter Egg Hunt.... fun with the jumping houses, petting the animals, face painting, riding a pony... lots and lots of fun.

Easter Morning -- "Mom it tastes like 'Chicken'!!" Now seriously - I don't know where he got that but it really cracked Tony and I up.... it had to taste like a mouth full of sugar if you ask me.
To the afternoon- Having fun with friends.

"OK mom if I smile one time can I go play on the slide!!!"

Mom go away!

We had such a wonderful day with friends and with each other...

Making Memories to last a lifetime.

Commitment

 

Tonight for Care Group we all went to see the movie "Fireproof Your Marriage - Never Leave Your Partner Behind" movie at The Assembly of God Church. It was an Awesome movie, well worth it, and very touching to both of our hearts. Marriage is not only a commitment to each other but also a covenant we make with the Lord. As Tony said "it is so easy to take a relationship for granted -- we become selfish in our mind and actions because we know the other person will always be there because of the commitment made." Marriage is full of challenges, struggles, sadness, emotional ups and downs, and at times it almost feels easier to {GIVE UP} walk away, however with God in our hearts those elements in life that create negative emotions are easily concurred with Our Partners so we enjoy the GIFT that God gave us HIS "Forgiveness".
I just want to pray for God to build a good healthy and foundation in me so that I am and will become a better WIFE to my Husband.

I would highly recommend the movie to everyone.
