We will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow with his cousins and it's sure to be great fun!!! He wanted a Kung Fu Panda party so that is what we are having!!!

Hopefully I will be able to post pics soon!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Run of BAD luck!

Ever since my brother got hurt, we've been having a run of bad luck! Two days before he fell from our tree, our car broke down. So we decided to buy a car off that same brother. It ran well and we thought it was a good investment. Then, it happened. We started smelling a strong odor of gas. We looked and looked for a leak, and nothing. Then, about a week and a half ago, we started seeing dripping. We took the tire of our car to find out that we were in fact leaking gas and that it needed fixed immediately. So we took it to an amazing friend of ours who was ever so willing to fix the problem. He worked hard to find the part but ended up not finding it very cheap. It was $500! For us, that's crazy! But we got some help and fixed the problem. Then, on our way to church on Sunday, the check engine light came on. I cried! I hate to admit it, but I sobbed like a baby! I am our branch's chorister and 1st counselor in Primary and I had a very hard time concentrating. I made the kids laugh and was a very bad example because my mind wasn't there. Hopefully things will get a little easier.

Well, my sissy-in-law is getting ready to have her twins in about 4 weeks, if she makes it that long!!! Her one little baby may have to have surgery after birth, but we'll have to wait and see.

Hope you all had a lovely day! Thanks for stopping by!

I love fall!!

Today I decided to take a breather and walk, by myself, just to enjoy some exercise and fresh air. Well not exactly by myself; I took Ruby, our dog! It was refreshing! Since we are finally getting end of September weather and not mid-July weather, I decided to take advantage!! I felt a little guilty though! Leaving my hubby with the boys just so I could breath. Does anyone else out there feel terrible guilt when they do something for themselves? I felt really bad. My hubby said it was fine. I don't know!! I worry too much about doing things the right way!! Who knows!

Anywho- have a great day! Enjoy your families and love life! You only get it once!

Forgiveness

Amazing video!! I cried like a baby!! Grab the tissue and enjoy an amazing story!
Forgiveness

It's been a while!!

My absence is for good reason!!! My older brother, Josh, fell from a tree in our front yard and shattered his wrist, fractured his pelvis and had a lot of bumps and bruises. He fell on the 29th of August and has been in the hospital since. He had to be life flighted to a hospital in Pittsburgh because they thought he had internal bleeding. He was in the clear with that. He has has five surgeries on his wrist and has to stay off his legs for 8 weeks. If you know my brother, that is torture. He owns his own construction business and a fractured pelvis and shattered wrist isn't good for business. He has rods and pins in his wrist and on the outside as well. All he was doing was trying to help us cut down the rest of our tree!! And to make it worse, it was the first Sunday he had been at church in a while. I told him he shouldn't be working on a Sunday! =) Well, that's where I've been. Hopefully the Lord will bless him with a full healthy recovery.

Have a glorious day! It's beautiful here in Western PA!

The Final Countdown!

Three more days until I embark on the wonderful journey that is homeschooling! I'm not quite prepared but hopefully I'll have everything done this weekend. We have a house of sick people here and tomorrow my hubby is getting a scope done because he is feeling bad. They think either an ulcer or a hernia. We'll see. I can't wait to know because waiting makes me CRAZY!!!! I love him and wouldn't be able to do anything that I do without him!!

M woke up last night just miserable. He came in our bed and layed by me and felt like a heating blanket! He had a fever and he was hot EVERYWHERE! Even his little hands and feet were hot! He seems to be doing a lot better. Hopefully it stays that way. Little A has had a snotty nose for days. No fever but lots and lots of boogies!

I love life! My family is amazing and I am glad for what I've been blessed with! Have a great day and thanks for visiting!!!!!

It's HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Was outside with my hubby and two kiddos this morning cutting down a tree (yes cutting down a tree on our anniversary) and a glorious messenger arrived with gleaming gifts for me! Actually, the FedX guy came with three boxes for M's homeschooling adventure! WOW! That's all I can say!!! The products and books we received are beyond average!! I will have to take a picture of all the things and post them, once I figure out how to take pictures of my camera!!!!!! I feel like it's Christmas for ME! M is super excited as well!! He wanted to start today!! I'm ssssooooooooo excited to do this with him! I even planned activities for little A to do! It should be super fun!!!

Hope you had a glorious day! Thanks for stopping by!!
