GO PANTHERS!!!

All I can say is that the Panther's won, and it was a great game!!!!

It's been a while

Well It had been a very long while since my last blog. Almost 5 months to be exact. Not sure that anyone has really missed it but I decided it was time to post a new on. My son will be 6 on Wednesday. It makes me so sad but happy at the same time. He started kindergarten, the first few days were a bit rocky but now he is fine and he really enjoys school. We went to the fair a few weeks ago and here are some pictures.

This past Saturday we had my son's birthday party at Riverbend Farm. For thoses of you who live in charlotte NC this is the best farm by far to go to . We had the best time. There is so much to do there. We picked pumpkins and when we got home they wanted me to take their pictures with the pumpkins.

In memory of Kayleigh Anne Freeman

I have never met little Kayleigh but I have been following her story and have been so touched by it. Today her friends and family are letting pink balloons go in her honor and memory and I wanted me and my kids (Kyle and Kailey) to do the same. I can never imagine what her family is going through but their faith in God is so very strong that I know he will provide for them. As we were letting the balloons go I could just imagine little Kayleigh looking down and seeing the balloons and becoming very excited as chidren do when they see balloons. Right before we let the balloons go my son prayed for her:

Dear Lord,
Thank you for this day and watch over Kayleigh Amen

found it so sweet, he is only 5

Well I will continue to pray for the family and little Kayleigh and one day I will be able to meet this little angel.

Very Random and long

Well I haven't been on here in a very long time and after I talked to my friend
Avion tonight, who by the way informed me to write somthing new, I figured it
was time to post a new blog. So much has been going on in the past month.

I started my new job and I just love it. Kyle started playing T-ball,

Friday was his last day of T-K, Kailey is starting to say more words

( her favorite is NO and MINE).

Kyle playing t-ball

A few weeks ago Kailey decided that our walls needed a

little extra somthing so she thought it would be nice to draw

some nice scibbles on the door, the wall and the dogs kennel.

My husband was sooooooo mad but all I could do was

laugh and take pictures.

A few months ago my mom found my old baby doll hairchair, that I had

used for my babies when I was little and wanted to know if I wanted to fix it

up for Kailey. I was so excited. So tonight I finally got to fix it up.

Here is the before picture

And here is the after:

One more thing, as you all know we got a dog

back in January. She is now almost 5 months old.

She weights 40 lbs and she all puppy.

Easter, New Job

Well Easter was great. We went to church and my aunt came along with us. I was so glad to have her join us. It felt so good to go to church this year on Easter, in the past years we have gong to church on Easter because it was Easter but this year we went because we are involved and we love it. Of course the kiddos were all dressed in their Easter best.

I started my new job today. It was soooo overwhelming. I thought I was going to pull my hair out. Don't get me wrong, I am sooo grateful for this job and very excited, but it is hard to go to a new place after 7 years. There is so much to learn about the school and where things go where things don't go, all the paper work. I know it will all work out, I am going to be doing a lot of praying this next week. Have you ever felt that you were really good at something but when you go to a new place you find your not as good as you really thought. That's kinda how I felt today. the school I came from there were not that many teachers at this school there are a ton. The school goes from Pre-K to 22 years of age. It seems I am not as good as I had once thought. Some might just say it is all in my head. Well whether Iam good or not I know this is what I really love to do and what God put me on this earth for that and to be a mom, I love that even more.

A quick update on my dad. He is doing very well and may even get to come home tomorrow :)

If........

So I was cleaning out my daughters closet today and came across this book.

I started thinking how it might be neat to post one question each week from this book. At least for me it will help me be more honest with myself and make me think about things maybe I have never thought about before. So here is the first question :

If you could say one thing to God, what would you say?

This one is hard for me because like many people there are so many things I want to say to God. I just starting getting back into church last September and I have so many questions. I think I would say to him please tell me all about yourself. I know this is what we learn in church but for me to hear it from him himself would be awesome. Me and my husband don't see eye to eye on a lot of religious issues which if very hard for me, so of course since this is new for me I have so many questions and have trouble getting them. Obviously God would be the one to give them to me.

Know it is your turn. Be honest with yourself and look for next weeks question.

A new beginning!

Well Iam offically a Tiger a Metro Tiger that is. I got the call today at 5:25 that I have been offered the job of preschool teacher. I can't even put into words how I feel right now. Iam sooo excited, this is what I have waited since March 16th to hear.

I get to continue working with most of my same children. I get to feel apart of a real school, which has been a while since I have felt that way.

I will however miss two of my best buds, Amee and Avion. They never read this but if by chance they do I just want them to know that I love them so much and I could not have made it through these last 7 years without them and yes Amee we will continue to be the best of friends.

On a different note I want to ask for prayers for my dad next week. He will be having surgery to remove a polyup (missed spelled) and part of his colon. I also want to say a prayer for baby Stellan, I have come to know him through his mom's blog and have really been praying for him and all he and his family are going through and all the other little ones who are in need of prayers right now.

Well that is all for know. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week.

Bible Study

So I started a bible study tonignt at my church ( When Wallflowers Dance )and let me tell you that it is already amazing. I had so many emotions running through me tonight and it felt great. I can't wait to see what next week brings and to get started with my bible time. Hope to be able to post some great things I learn over the next 7 weeks.

Frustrated and Done

Have you ever just felt like you want to be done with everything! Well that's how I feel at this very moment. My 5 year old son is giving me a fit and I mean fit about going to bed and Iam soooo frustrated. I hate to feel this way and I feel bad to feel this way especially when I read all the blogs about families going through such hard time. I mean the things I am going through are trivial compared to other blogging ladies.



First I feel my children want listen to me and it's sooo frustrating. I just am unsure of what Iam doing wrong.

Second I am done with not having confidence about myself and feeling so down because of my weight. I mean I did put it on (which I enjoyed :) ) so now I need to take it off but it is so hard.

Third I am about to loss my job and I have never been in this kind of situation before and it scares me.

Fourth my husband can be a a$$ at times and I look at my marriage and say this is not what I planned on .



Like I said this problems seem so silly compared to others but Iam human. It feels good just to write about it and let it out. I just want to be happy with the life God has given me. I pray to him and talk to him but I haven' t gotten any answers. I know that I cannot give up. Well I am off to bed my son has finally calmed down.

A give-a-way and a good cause

http://thewelshfam.blogspot.com/

I found this family through Kelly's blog and I have been keeping up with how their sweet little girl is doing. Her mom is doing a give-a-way that everyone should check out as well as you can learn more information about her daughter's condition.
I think this is such a great way to make people aware of CHD (congenital heart defect). I had never heard of this before I read her blog. Anyway's for the few of you who do read my blog go check out the Welsh Family blog!

That's my boy!!!

Well I love to dance and sing. Give me some music and I can cute a rug. :) So it is only fitting that my son (who is 5 ) follows in my foot steps. I was changing my daughter and when I walked out of her room this is what I saw.

And yes that is his St. Patty's Day hat!

"Don't cry because it's over"

Smile because it happened! This is my new saying. Well it is official. April 3rd Iam out of a job. A job that I love a job that I have been at for the past 7 years. Let me start from the beginning. When I was in college I did an internship at LifeSpan Circle School. This particular school was school for children with and without disabilities. I loved it there and knew after college I wanted to teach there. After I graduated that is just what I did. I got a job teaching in the oldest room there. I worked with the 4 and 5 year olds. For the first few years I worked with children with and without disabilities. These last few years I have had more EC children and I love it. These children are my heart. This is what I was put on earth to do I know it. Well my company decided to close us and know I feel like my world it broken. This is all I have known for the past 7 years. I have made some of my closet friends here and met some wonderful children who have really changed me as a person. This is all I know. I can't even imagine not going there daily. I found the saying "Don't cry because it's over smile because it happened" and this is soooo fitting. I have been telling myself to look back and look at all the lives I have made a difference in. I will be trying to get a teaching job at the school that all of these children will be going to so I just keep praying and keep my fingers crossed.

Anyway I have to start cleaning out my room and 7 years is a long time to accumulate stuff

That is in my room, not only that but also things in my room and on the walls.

Well I have loved every minute of it and I hope only the best for these kids. I love everyone of them like they were my own.

Snow Day

Well here we sit at home with snow everywhere. It is soooo beautiful. Iam guessing this will be the last snow for this season. Iam ready for a little spring time. We bought some new outdoor furniture that I want to put out, but so glad we haven't yet. I took the kids and dog out this morning. Not sure who had more fun the kids or the dog.

Kyle enjoyed making snowballs and then wanting to throw them at me. Not somthing I was really enjoying but I guess it's ok a few times snow only comes a few times a year.

My 30th Birthday

Well I turned 30 on Feb 13th. I was a little depressed at first but I think Iam over it know. It is just a number. On Sat the 22nd I celebrated with friends. We started off at Kabuto's (spelling).

Our waiter was having a great time as well!!!

The food was fabulous. They give you so much. I had the shrimp which was to die for. The sauce itself was great, I need some of that for home. They came out and sang Happy Birthday for me and had a cake for me, with one lonely candle, thats deff. better than 30 :) Well hopefully this will be a great year.

Our new puppy

Well we got a new puppy on Monday night. Chloe is a 9 week old lab. She

is sooo cuteand is the best puppy so far. I was nervous to get a puppy but

now that wehave her I can't remember what life was like without her.

This picture is a litte dark but this is Chloe with our cat Bernie who was not

very thrilled when we brought her home, he is getting used to her which

he has to cause Chloe is here to stay!!

In God we trust!!!!

I belong to charlotte mommies and came across this blog and thought it was great wanted to share. Please listen to this song and pass it on to anyone eles who believes. It is awsome and so true.


What a beautiful Song. The song you are about to listen to is from a Las Vegas Diamond Rio Concert. They received an immediate resounding standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it! Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered 'politically incorrect'. Consequently, the song was never released to the Public. So America , see what you think. If this offering speaks to your heart and you feel you want to share it with friends and loved ones, please do- and pray that who ever wins the Presidential election can place their hand on the Bible to take their oath.
