Spring is in the air







Wow .... We are so off schedual since spring is here.... My kids are staying up to almost 9 and we are not out of bed before 7 and I think this is awesome.... LOL So it is 8:30 am and we are not dressed and my day is half gone... Well God is getting me out of my box slowly everyday... What really matters are happy kids and more importantly a happy Daddy,... Now I still have my schedual during the day but I am learning that one or 2 days of not being "on time" will not kill me..... So we are doing great and we go to court on April 1st to see when we will be adopting..

Thanks for all the prayers...

PS Ty wanted a stick horse and so I made him one... lol It is really made with a big stick found in the yard and some scrap fabric.... lol He really likes it... It will have to do. LOL and my Nikki Jean is starting learn how to throw knifes with her daddy and she is getting better she stuck it in the target.... Every well brought up girl out to know how to throw knives.......

My Sweet Girls


I am so thankful for my sweet girls... Hope was sleeping or she would have been in the picture. Emma is always so eager to help and Nikki is the go getter... She pumps everyone up and has so much energy... Faith........ Well wow dose she keep me on my toes... and fingers and ears... She makes Nikki's toddler years look easy... But she is really sweet and has a wonderful spirit about her and if we can direct it in the right direction she will do mighty things for the Lord.

Well the adoption process is moving right along we all had to get physicals and fingerprinted and we have had our home study so April 1st we go for our adoption review and of course they will set another court date for the acctual adoption... I think... LOL who knows.

I am so spoiled ... I am so amazed at how blessed I could be... Everyday brings a new blessing to my face..... How can you not praise God for all his wonders.... Even If I had nothing at all. Joy in the Lord... Not in things. But it is our Father that blesses us. My Sweet Man is still the most handsome and sweetest guy I know....

Mamma's "LET your babies grow up to be Cowboys"









My handsome little guy is really growing up.. We bought him his first real pair of boots today wow.... Seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. Ty is very charming and is just like his daddy. But he gets his great looks from his daddy and Papa Mike... Which if I had a child hood picture of him I would post because wow... he looks just like my dad. And my daddy is a charmer him self. So wranglers and boots and a new T-shirt for a 3 year old.... Guess what this cost.... never mind but you can bet that my grandsons should be wearing these... LOL




Well our Little John is already growing in leaps and bounds.... They change so much the first couple of weeks God is so amazing to give us such a precious gift... I do hope that he gives us more considering my PCOS diagnosis which my midwife said is the reason my amniotic fluid decreases and why my labors do not start it is a hormone imbalance basicly and acctually having babies have kept other symptoms away... but this also means future pregnancys will be deliverd at the hospital and more than likely induced and she said that I better have my babies while I still can. But in saying all that it in no way harms me or the babies because the only treatment for this is the Birthcontrol pill and we are obviously not for this so we will let God plan our family and when he closeses my womb then we will leave it at that.... Besides we have at least achevied our "Large family" dreams... We just also know that God has a plan for us and we are ok with this.







Here are all my boys.... Man what a great looking group..

I am truly blessed... I can't wait to see how God uses my sons and what a testament to Gods love is there Father... John truly loves our children and trains them faithfuly and is the most awesome Dad ever.

1 week old and funny faces






How sweet it is to have another little boy. My Sweet husband bought me a camera last night when he went shopping for me. What a guy. My boys have what they call there funny faces and so we thought we would share them with you. John is growing fast and already out of newborn diapers and eating like a horse. He is the object of everyones affection right now so he gets lots of hugs, kisses, pokes,rubs,nose honks,eye pokes and yes fingers in his mouth... Hope you like the pics.. Im doing ok John has been taking us to the shop with him so that he can help me with the kids and so that I do not do house work.... I can't be at home and not work... Its to hard to just look at the laundry or dishes ... But any way thanks for the prayers I am having a baby shower on March 18th, at 7pm at Tammi's house for those of you who would like to come. Have a great weekend we will be in the garden today time to plant those greens and onions and carrots.
