WEEKEND THOUGHTS!!!

Kaylor got her 2 month shots on thursday, she did really well with it until this weekend. She cried from sun up to sun down both saturday and sunday and is even fussy today. I just can not figure out what is causing her to fuss, sometimes it seems like it's a tummy ache, sometimes it seems like she may be constipated, and sometimes it seems like she may have a little collic. WHATEVER IT MAY BE I HOPE IT GOES AWAY, I JUST WANT HER TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY. It hurts me so badly (as her mother) to see her cry real tears from something that is causing her pain at such an early age. She was three weeks premature and I know that could have alot to do with it but sometimes I am at a loss on what to do. Kylee had a great weekend though, she has become really close to her daddy and they played outside on her swingset and went to the store together and she even helped him clean the car. When I was her age I was a daddy's girl too, I prayed that she would have a relationship with Kyle like I had with my father, and I am so thankful that she does. He is such a wonderful father. When we had Kaylor he just jumped right in and did everything for the first couple of weeks until I heeled. I am so thankful to him for all that he has done, and all that he continues to do. Our relationship as husband and wife has truly matured and is so amazing. I am very blessed to have a great husband and to amazing little girls!!!

IF ALL I EVER HAD TO DO!!

Today is such a beautiful chilly day, but it is one more day that I have to be thankful for. In the early morning hours while feeding Kaylor I have come to realize how wonderful my simple life can be, which has inspired me to write this!! If you like it, try it out, it shows you how truly blessed your life is.


IF ALL I EVER HAVE TO DO
If all I ever have to do is care for my children each and everyday, love all over them, show them how precious they are to me, give them all the extra time I have, even if I do not have any, feed them, cloth them, and keep them safe from harm, THAT IS FINE BY ME. If all I ever have to do is kiss my husband before going to work, talk to him on the phone in between work hours, go home to him and make supper, lay around on the couch together, talk to him the way that best friends do, watch our favorite tv shows, and go to bed together as a loving husband and wife, and maybe get a few moments together alone THAT IS FINE BY ME. If all I ever have to do is go to work each morning and work an 8 hour day, teaching, learning, laughing, making new friendships, and striving to be successful, THAT IS FINE BY ME. If all I ever have to do is love everyone who has loved me, and even some who have not, Hate the things that need to be hated, forgive the things that need to be forgiven, forget the things that need to be forgot, tell the stories that need to be told, comfort those that need to be comforted, if this is all that my life has in store for me, then THAT IS DEFINITELY FINE WITH ME!!!

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

My family had a wonderful valentine's day this year. My husband and kylee (on friday the day before valentine's) baked me a chocolate cake covered in strawberries (they are my favorite)and made a heart out of the strawberries. When I got home from work friday evening the cake,(which was absolutely delicious)a rose, and a beautiful card was waiting for me. I was so surprised and happy that my husband took the time to do something really thoughtful for me, it doesn't always have to be about how much money they spend. The girls wore the most adorable outfits on Valentine's Day, everywhere we went people were talking about how cute they looked. Kylee loved her Valentine's gift, she got a huge tinkerbell doll, (she loves that movie)books, hair bows, candy, and a singing card. My husband had to work all day saturday so when I got home he had a really sweet card waiting on him and I took him to eat for dinner. I am very happy that my family and I had such a wonderful Valentines Day, I am really greatful for precious moments with my family!!!

WHERE MY HEART BELONGS!!!

Today I realized (with valentine's day being this weekend) that my heart completely belongs to my loving husband and my adorable children. Holiday's have become what I look forward to all year long, so I can treat my family with gifts and sweet thoughts to show my love to them. I have already bought my husband a singing card, I hope he ardores it, and I have bought my 2 1/2 year old (kylee) a tinkerbell doll and lots of cute goodies that express my love for her. The only person I have not bought for yet is my baby (kaylor). What do you get a 2month old for Valentine's Day? She does already have an adorable outfit for the day, maybe that is enough when they are so little. I am also going to treat all the people at my work and some of my family with cute goody bags full of things to show them that someone cares about them on this precious day. Have you ever done something nice for a person you barely new or bought a gift for someone who would never buy one for you? That is my goal this year to treat others the way I want to be treated and to give back to everyone that I possibly can. After all a small gift can go a very long way!!! I hope that Valentine's Day this year is very stress free and that my husband and I can enjoy each other's company, even if it is only for a few seconds. Hopefully in a few days I will have lots of picture's to show all of you but intil then I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day and that it is filled with lots of love!!!

"LOVE CURES PEOPLE-BOTH THE ONES WHO GIVE IT AND THE ONES WHO RECIEVE IT"

THANK YOU GOD FOR MAKING MY GIRLS BETTER!!!

Just wanted everyone to know that the girls are getting better everyday. It has been a slow progress but slowly getting better, is better than not getting well at all. The baby still coughs and has to do her inhaler but she can finally take her bottles and has begun to wake up more often and show me her beautiful smile!!! Our 2 1/2 year old is showing great progress and is coming alive again. I never knew I could love something so much, until I had my girls and seeing them hurt, hurts me more than I could have ever imagined. All I know is that God has been so Good to my family and he truly blesses us every single day!!!

WALKING WITH GOD BESIDE ME!!!

This last week has been one of the most horrible I have ever had. My Two month old devoloped RSV and my 2 1/2 year old has a double ear infection and we are battling with the medicine's to treat it right. In one week's time we have been to the doctor 6 times and have had numerous nights without any sleep, not to mention this is my second week back to work. Kaylor (being so little) has struggled to breathe correctly with the RSV and we have had many scares,leading us to the point of hospitalization, luckily she is starting to get better now without being admitted into the hospital. Kylee was doing well for a few days and then the medicine quit working and has now caused her to get another ear infection leading her to have two and be very winny and unbearable. I have had only a few hours of sleep each night (some nights without any) and have stuggled with working. I do know that during this last week, I have prayed to God more than I have prayed to him in the last 6 months, and while praying to him I have found peace and with each prayer I have said, my children have begun to improve. It is so amazing to me to witness God's work on earth and how amazing the strength of prayer is. I never knew I could be this close with God intil one of the most important people in my life passed away, and through his death lead me to God. I do know and feel that God is WALKING BESIDE ME LEADING ME THROUGH THESE VERY TROUBLED AND HARD TIMES, BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I WOULD BE OR HOW I COULD HAVE HAD SO MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND STILL BEEN ABLE TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY FOR MY CHILDREN. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING SO AMAZING AND GOOD EVERYDAY!!!
