Blessed

Having so many days off of work has really given me a lot of time to reflect on just how blessed I am. How blessed WE are. The Lord is good, all the time, and I just want to kick myself when I sit still and realize how He has impacted our lives, and how ungrateful I am. I think about all the complaining I do on a daily basis and I realize that there is nothing to complain about.

The Lord has blessed me with an amazing husband who I have so much fun with. He's blessed me with an incredible baby girl, who makes me smile and makes my heart melt. He's blessed our family with health and has provided for us financially and physically and every other way. I should constantly praise Him and glorify Him and tell others about Him. But I don't always do this, and it's frustrating. Many times I get caught up in worldly things and routines and schedules and that's not good. I'm really trying to change. I am so thankful to have a Christian husband who can encourage me to do better.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much time you spend during your day complaining and grumbling, gossiping and talking bad about others? What about putting yourself down? I am the queen of all of this as much as I hate to admit it! All of these things are from Satan. How does he sneak into our lives so easily?

So, as I said before, I'm working hard to change. I want to catch myself, and instead of falling into those sinful ways, I'll try to turn whatever is being said or thought into a positive and remember the perspective I have right now. I am blessed. So blessed. All of these blessings are from our perfect Savior. I need to glorify our awesome God in all that I do and say.

Adley's Birth Story

I have been a little overloaded in life and let our blog go to the back burner!  But, I must write about sweet Adley's birth story just like I did with Ava and Anniston :) On June 8, after a sleepless night, Kyle and I got up and got ready to head to the hospital to meet our third precious girl.  To say I was nervous would be the biggest understatement ever.  Even though I had gone through 2 csections before, it didn't mean I wasn't scared and nervous....it's a big, scary surgery!  Mostly I was just afraid of the needle.... We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and started getting prepped for surgery.  First came the beautiful gown (I was so happy it wasn't the paper/plastic gown like I had with Anniston...I sweat to death in that gown), then came blood work and the IV, which I was not excited about....I hate needles.  And then the VERY worst part started.  Waiting.  Waiting for the magical hour of 7:30 am.  It took forever.  I was...

Freezer Cooking

Well, many of you know about my adventures in freezer cooking. Lots of people have asked how it works, how I do it, etc.  So, I've decided to blog about it.  I will include pictures, recipes, and a shopping list.  After all that, you will be set to try it with a group of your friends!  All of this ended up costing right around $92 per family.  We did a $50 deposit up front, and then the remaining balance was split up and paid the day we cooked.  This is enough for you and 4 friends to each go home with 17 meals in this day.  First off, let me list the meals you will make: Easy Cheeseburger Casserole (each family will go home with 2 of these) Tex Mex Chicken and Rice (each family will go home with 4 of these) Baked Chicken Fajitas (each family will go home with 2 of these) BBQ Chicken (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chili  (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chicken Casserole with Doritos (each family will go home with 2 ...

Baby #2 is On the Way!

Yay ! We are having another baby! This has been a terribly hard secret to keep for the past few weeks, but now we can shout it out! Yesterday we went to our first doctors appointment and then did about 6 hours of telling our huge family. Here's how our day went: Our appointment was at 9. We registered, sat down for 1 minute, and then we got called back to get the ultrasound. I had never had an ultrasound this early with Ava, so I really didn't know what to expect. The ultrasound lady just keep looking at this screen and there would be a beeping sound every so often and we were all so quiet for at least 5 minutes, it could've been an hour though. One thing I don't like is silence. And there was a lot of silence. The ultrasound tech and Kyle were both staring at the screen with straight faces, so at that point I started praying and waiting more. Finally, she turned the screen for me to see, and there it was. This tiny little baby...the head, the body, I could...
