New Friends.....

The church we've been visiting had this really great things called M.O.M.S. (Moms of Many Strengths)
that they do two times a month.  Its where a bunch of women get together and we have discussions and make a craft and just have fun and fellowship with each other. It was so neat to do this.
There was such a great group of women there!  I met a few other moms who had children the same age as my baby girl and other moms who had children the same ages as my middle and oldest child, which is pretty awesome!
I love the fact that we all are like minded in our faith and beliefs.  We share pretty much the same values.  I've never been where I had a lot of friends since I've been a mom (just a few scattered around), so this is quite nice to be around others who share my beliefs and faith.
Plus, its at the church we've been visiting so thats awesome.

Its the weekend now, and I'm exhausted. My baby girl has not been sleeping much at night the fast 4 or 5 nights. Im not really sure why. She's only slept thru the night once since birth and now shes almost 3 1/2 months old. 

Last night we had movie night with the kids.  We watched the movie "Soccer Mom"  which was really neat. It was a cute little movie and had a good story behind it.   Last week, we watched "Letters to God" which is a really sad movie but also has a great point behind it as well.

Then today, I saw this video about the "Rapture" and I actually jumped. It really got me thinking!

Another good day.

Yesterday was a good day.  Anyday is good when you wake up and everyone is well.. except for my husband who is fighting allergies but other than that. everyone and everything is good.

I just bought a book after reading this incredible blog called "Like a Warm cup of Coffee". This lady is amazing!

She's doing a book club type thing on this book and luckly they are only on chapter 4 or 5 so I can catch up as soon as my book comes in.

Its called The Mission of Motherhood: Touching your Chlds heart for Eternity!
It has so much incredible stuff in it!  Its amazing and from the reviews I've read on it, its helped a lot of people!  So I bought it and I'm going to read it and do my best to apply it to my everyday life!



Soccer should be starting any day now. I can't wait. I'm going to be a soccer mom, with one in tow, happily in her Baby K'tan carrier!  http://www.babyktan.com/  Its' really great! I have one in chocolate brown and its SO AWESOME!   I've never really liked carriers/sling types before because I couldnt find one that fit well or was comfy to wear, but this one is GREAT. Its awesome!  and My baby girl is SO happy in it!

Saturday

Just wondering if its possible to have one day go by where in my house no one gets into any trouble...Just one day where I do not have to repeat myself over and over, and the kids are nice to each other... Is that possible?  LOL

That may sound like I'm being mean, but seriously, it just NOT that hard to get along with your siblings. Or to listen when mommy or daddy says "Not right now"  or  "Wait a minute"  or "No you may not"  then that is exactly what we mean. That does not give you the okay to wait three or five or even one hundread and twenty seconds and ask the same thing again. 
Whew..glad I got that out... because when I say it to my kids,  they turn OFF their ears... Ha!

On the brighter side.. We've had the store open for almost a week now and we've gotten a lot of interest which is really awesome!
The kids had an EXCELLENT week at school AND Tomorrow is Sunday which means CHURCH! I am really enjoying the new church that we are visiting. The kids are going to school with some of their new friends from church which is just really awesome.

Ive just started a new bible study called "Five conversations you MUST have with your daughter".
Its awesome! Just this first week it has really opened my eyes a lot about things.
If you have daughters, I highly recommend this book/workbook/bible study for you.
Its by a lady named Vicki Courtney and this book is for women of daughters from new born to college age.  tell your daughters the truth about life before they believe the culture�s lies. Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter also includes invaluable tips on having each conversation across the various stages of development: five and under, six to eleven, twelve and up.

helps moms pinpoint and prepare the discussions that should be ongoing in the formative years. To fully address the dynamic social and spiritual issues and influencers at hand, several chapters are written for each of the conversations, which are:

• You are more than the sum of your parts.
• Sex is great....and worth the wait.
• Its OK to dream about marriage and motherhood
• Don't be in such a hurry to grow up
• Girls gone wild are a dime a dozen�dare to be different

I think its excellent so far. In it, I've learned quite a bit this week. One of the most important things to me this week was to make sure, even at the young age of 5, that my daughter understands that she is
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139.14)
I've event taken it a step furthen and told my son this every morning as well. When We are driving to school, I make sure to make it a point to tell them each how much I love them and how that God made each of them, EXACTLY the way that he wants them to be.
Every aspect of the body, down to the tiniest microscopic cell, reveals that it is fearfully and wonderfully made.  http://www.gotquestions.org/fearfully-wonderfully-made.html

Summers basically over...

In so many ways I am so ready for school to start....but just as happy as I am about it starting back, I'm also just as unhappy about the fact that SLEEPING IN will have to wait till next summer.. :(
The kids have finally gotten into routine of sleeping back 7am! Its been nice to be able to get up to feed the baby, then go back to sleep till 9 or 10.  Yes! We are so spoiled!  But those days are over.

We've been so busy this past week, Not only are we getting things ready for the kids to go back to school, we also have some other things that we are working on.  Basically, Life is about to get REALLY interesting and busy on our end....But, I am so excited!!!!!
