Saturday, July 7

Today was a terrific day, we all spent the morning together and then went to carousel Mallon the evening and ate dinner at Johnny rockets and got to check out the new section of the mall.it was a great time with Steve and the kids.

Late nights

As I'm sitting here well after midnight, making my to do list for tomorrow, I stated thinking hat I am so blessed right now. Out of my 5 beautiful children, my youngest, Gavin is my inspiration. Each meal he wants to say Grace for, at bedtime, he is the first one wanting to say his prayers, and he is constantly talking about church and singing to K-LOVE. I am so thankful to God for his wonderful demeanor and his faith so far at such a young age. It keeps me more faithful and makes me happy to know I am installing god values in my children.

 Fourth of July!!

Today is the fourth of July and it has turned out to be a great day. The boys actually slept in a little, 7:30. we had breakfast together and played with a girlfriends kids outside by the pool and trampoline! Dave came and took the boys to the park while I took a short nap as I seem to have insomnia bad for the last couple months. After a leftover lunch of pizza and wings from last night we chilled in the A/C until after dinner then we did those black growing snake things that my grandpa always used to get when I was a kid and Dave took the boys to see fireworks and Katie went to  fireworks with her boyfriend Brandon. Now I get to sit her in relative silence and watch what I want to watch on TV without interuption!! I am really taking advantage of the quiet time since the only time I get that is when the kids are all asleep!!! 

Somehow by the grace of God we are still in our home and we have food to eat everyday, so I am grateful and thankful and praise Him everyday!!! I recently applied for a car loan and got approved!!! now I have about 21 days to come up with $1200 dollars to pay for the DP, tax, title, etc. It would make life SOOOOO much easier as I have all the appts for Deric. I am so tired of having to rely on my mom and Dave when he feels like letting me borrow HIS car.

Sorry, its been so long

February 2012 (written July 3)

I just realized that it has been so long since I've written that tons have gone on since February. I don't even know where to begin. Lets see, Deric has been doing a little better since moving to his new classroom. he has actually been doing his homework and his writing is improving.
   I have been trying to potty train Gavin and he has been wanting none of it. We'll keep trying though.
   Kaitlin is doing well in school although her study habits are a little lacking. Valentines day was a little rough this year as I still love my Hubby and want to get back together with him although he wants nothing to do with that area. I still got him a nice card and some chocolate covered cherries though.
