Pearson Air Field Picnic

Yesterday was a great day! We had a lot of fun! We went with Nathan's Parents to a Picnic the church was having to showcase the new air plane they bought for the Missions they do in Indonesia. It was a huge improvement form the plane they have been using in the past. The smaller plane is a six seater but it was tiny!! Nathan put Madison in the seat and it was pretty much the size of her car seat. I am not sure how they flew six adults in that thing! I would have taken up two seats for sure...lol

They had Pony rides a petting zoo and the huge blow up slides and bouncy house. Te girls were in heaven! They had a blast! It was so much fun to watch them rides the ponies! Maddy had a huge grin the entire time! Trinity did really well I thought that one might be a little scared but they both did just fine!

The rest of the day we just hung out at home and relaxed. Today we are off to Nathans parents to have a little BBQ and play in the park. It should be lots if fun. I hope you all have a great day!

Please remember the those who have passed on today, our loved ones, people who fight for our freedom and who died trying. I have lost many people in my short 29 years and each of them
are thought about often especially today.

Their first time on a pony They were both so happy!

Look at that smile!

Weeee

They were having a blast

Bounce House

She was so happy to see all the animals

I was afraid he was going to spit on me I was way to closeThey were being really good to the animalsYou would think since we have ten of these she wouldn't be so sketchy. So sweet!

Big Crowd!

Kids Club Vancouver, WA

This place is so awesome!!

Madison and Trinity love going to Kids club. It is a huge jungle of slides tubes balls and pretty much whatever you can think of to keep your kids busy for three hours. I usually go for about three hours but the funny thing is they are not wanting to leave even tho they are super worn out and have climbed and played on everything twenty times. It is a little spendy around $5.00 each kid. Well for me it is worth it. They have so much fun and by time we get home they are all worn out and take around three hour naps!! That to me is worth the five bucks for sure!
We have been going twice a month. It is a great way to network with people about my Photography too. I usually have my nice camera with me and take tons of pictures. It is a conversation starter for sure. They oh and aww over my big lens. Then ask if I am a photographer, I give them my card and chat about how I started taking pictures and what not. I have even gotten there email address and sent them pictures of there kids I have taken while playing with the girls. (Madison sure can make a friend in about three seconds.)

So if you live in Vancouver you should check it out. Or if you want to come along with me it is a great way to get some Mom chat time in while the kids play.

Here are a few pics of the girls playing.

13 weeks pregnant

I'm so sorry if I have left you all wondering what happened to me..lol
Only Joking. I have had no interest in blogging lately. I am too tired by the end of the night to take two hours to write and edit and upload pictures. I have been extra busy with just one more kid around. I have track practice, and meets, mutual. and other church related activities she is involved in. Alexis is a busy girl! On top of that I am still having all day sickness but not as bad. I have been really tired lately! Like drag my lifeless body out of bed get breakfast for the girls and lay on the couch for three hours tired! Nathan even came home early today so I could sleep. Madison came into our bed in the middle of the night to sleep and I just couldn't sleep after that. I have been having really bad head aches too. BLAH! I am hoping in the next couple weeks this will all get a lot better. Around 16 weeks I usually start to enjoy my pregnancy instead of just dealing with it.

The last few weeks have been busy! Mothers day was really nice we went to Nathans parents for lunch and then I made a huge Italian dinner for my Mom. We all had a great day. It is nice to have the ability to spend the day with both of the Moms in my life. I am so blessed to have two amazing women in my life that are so different but yet love there kids with the same kind of love and devotion. Thanks for helping me and teaching me things that with out you I may have never known. Thank you Mom for always being there and being willing to do anything to make my life a little easier. You are not only my Mom but my friend and I am so happy to have you in my life. Patti, Thank you for being an amazing Mother to a son I love so very much. Thank you for always having great advice and giving me a positive out look on things. You are kind and loving and I appreciate you so much.

I know it is a couple weeks late but to all you Moms out there I hope you had a great day!


I will try to keep you all updated and blog more but no promises. I am sure in the next few weeks I will get my energy back and be on here a lot more. =)

On a side note School is almost out! Can you believe in 4 weeks the kids will be done and it will be summer!! Wahoo!! The warm weather is starting to creep up to the Northwest and I am excited!!!! We bought a pool and slip n slide last weekend it was really nice but the rain came back today of course! It is going to be nice for like the next week, so I hope my tan will get a little better=)

Prayers answered

I have to say that I am more happy at this point in my life then ever before. I feel the presence of the Lord and the power of prayer more then ever before in my life. The feelings I am having inside are so surreal, to have wanted something for so long to have prayed and prayed and it never was exactly what you wanted but you had to be at peace with the outcome because you knew it was meant to be at that time but then for the situation to turn and it becomes what you want is unlike any emotion I can put into words.
I just want to say thank you thank you thank you! Thank You God! Thank you friends and family!
I have a new responsibility with this change, it is one I am afraid of and one I am more willing to take head on then anything ever before in my life!
We look forward to this new life and the blessing and the challenges that come with it. I will need advice and guidance and a bunch more prayer but the biggest hurdle has been overcome.

~Life~

I asked God to take away my pain. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me. God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.


Amen!

10 weeks Pregnant

10 Weeks in!!!

I am starting to feel a little better one day, then the next it is way worse! I am hoping this doesn't last the entire time I am pregnant, I will loose my mind! Even tho I am sick all the time I do have to admit I am really excited about having another baby. I have been on a million web sites reading stuff looking at clothes and getting that anticipation flutter wondering what the sex will be. I have made the choice to get my tubes tied after this baby before I even leave the hospital so I am going to try to make the most of everything this last time.


The big reason for not blogging is I have been going threw a lot and it is just not something I have wanted to blog about. It is just so emotional and a private family matter that I feel this is not the place to vent. I will say this, I am not sure why some people feel it is necessary to treat other people in a unnecessarily forceful, rude demeaning way. Especially a child. I have struggled with my feeling and emotions toward this person for the last nine years and just when you give your trust back to them they rip it away. It is sad, unfortunate and this time I feel something has to be done no matter the ripple effect. All I can do is pray for this person and the situation and hope for the best. I have tried in the past to take all the pain worry and frustration on alone and once I gave it all to the Lord I felt at peace and knew that he would take care of the situation, my only responsibility is to fight for what I believe speak my mind and take the steps to protecting my self and the one I love.

All I can ask of all of you is to just say a little prayer for the situation to work out in the easiest fastest way possible. =)

Here are some cute funny silly pics of me Alexis and B=) Enjoy!
