10th Anversary

My husband decided to take me on a cruise for our 10 year anniversary and we had such a blast and we met some new friends Lisa and Mark Eismen they where also celebrating the 10 year anniverssary..

S.I.S.T.E.R.S. Retreat

This weekend our Church had our Ladies Retreat. It was a very emotional and spiritual weekend. I know that I came away closer to the Lord and a better person. I have to change the way I handle different things and quit be controlling of myself and everyone else. I learned that I have to brush off the ashes and put on the crown and start new, move forward. The loss of my dear friend Keri has changed me and has changed or church it so awesome what has happen. I have prayed that something big would happen to our church to bring us closer.. I so didn't think the loss of our friend Keri would be the something to bring our church closer but it has, along with her husband Brantly he has been so awesome.

Today in Sunday School my friend Pam said that the Lord has lead her to give up Dt Cokes, until Keri Cain received her new heart. She also felt let to challenge the class to pray and see if they have the same desires to give up something. What is so weird about this is I posted on my face book that I really need to get my weight back off. Then Pam brought the challenge to the class and the first thing in my mind was giving up BREAD! I have been praying and seeing what happens.. it still there!

My Friend Keri

It has been one crazy week. My friend Keri Cain had a massive Heart attach last Monday.

. I have seen several Miracle's this past week.

In Sunday school last week Lellwyn ask if we have experience in Miracle's and I really couldn't say the room was kinda quiet.. Well not anymore..

The lord has shown me several Miracles.. I praise the lord for all he has done and showed me this week.. Keri's husband is another Miracle.. they way he stood up Sunday morning and gave his testimony.. WOW the lord was working through him..

Well my cousin didn't get the Midfield teaching job! She has put her application and a new postion in Hueytown.

Dalton and Nick went to a Block Party kind like a VBS but at someone house.. pretty cool

Well my first cousin had her baby yesterday and all is well.. I can't wait to see Zander tomorrow.
I have also started my new weight loss goal.. 45 pounds my January 29th.. Lellwyn and I 10th anniversary

Well I have been told that I need to update my blog!! Sorry I have been so bad! I am now a stay at home mom with my two boys Dalton and Nick.. I'm starting to home school Dalton. I know.. there are pros and cons.. the good Lord has blessed me to be at home and I feel that I can help my son by homeschooling him.

Beach Trip Day 5

Day after the hurrican we spend the day shopping and going to Lamberts for lunch, Nick was so tired he passed out at the table but he love those big roles. Then we went crab hunting with Nana and Pa Pa. They boys had a lot of fun.

Beach Trip Day 4

Today Hurricane Gustav hit and boy was the ocean busy. Look at the boys hair the wind was crazy.

We had fun playing in the room and then going to the little indoor pool we had.. thank you for that. We did go out a little to see if anything was open and that was a negative. We did find somewhere to eat, which was good since we where in a hotel room and didn't have a kitchen.

Beach Trip Day 3 cont.

Well I couldn't leave out the hand made beach chairs the Lellwyn and the boys made. They thought they where too cute. Nick like to jump in the holes. I know that is surprising. I had to put picture of the ocean the day before Hurricane Gustav arriving. Things are good down here not as bad as they thought it was going to be.

Beach Trip Day 3

On the 3rd day we got a Kite the Dalton wanted to get and we had a good time getting that in the air. I guess I should say Lellwyn and Dalton did.. I just watch most of the time. Dalton finally was able to fly it all by himself. Honestly Dalton did a better job keeping it in the air then Lellwyn. LOL

Alabama's 1st Game ROLL TIDE!!!!!

we headed to my Mom's was staying at the beach to eat dinner and what the Alabama game. We headed down to the beach before dinner to take some pictures. After dinner the boys got cozy in the couch with there gummy worms that there Nana got them to watch the Alabama Game.

Family Beach Trip 1st Day

We arrive at Orange Beach, Saturday August 30th around 10 a.m., we left the house about 3:40 a.m. I know that is crazy but Nick sleep for 1/2 of the trip and that was great! We spend the first day getting settle in the hotel and going to walmart to get sand toys and little items that where needed for the week. Then we headed down to the beach the boys had a great time weather was great. Nick wasn't too sure of the ocean but still having a great time.

Nick Playing in the Rain

I decided to let Nick play in the rain while I was cleaning out the van. Oh my! He had a great time. I remember how much fun I had when I was little playing in the rain. Now being a Stay at Home Mom I can take the time and let them do stuff like this.. this was a great day. Dalton was in K-4 class he said that he wanted to play in the rain next time.. so more to come in the future.

Sunday School Singing This Little Light Of Mine

The 2 and 3's Sunday school class as well the 4's and 5's class sang This Little Light of Mine in Big Church Sunday 24th. The did all some. I believe Dalton started singing an extra round. Which was way too cute.. I was very proud of the kids.
