Weekend Events

Well this weekend was busy we moved a rick of wood to the front , burned the burn pile , cleaning house, helping Johns mother unpack , and recycling our pumpkins ( John and I blew them up with our shot guns and the kids shot at them with there bb guns). This makes it easier for the birds to get to the seeds....lol Just trying to help all we can. We also went to see the lights in Midwest City and that was fun for the kids. We always dress them in there pj's and load them up in the van. But Emma has a great memory and she knew right away where we were going and started screaming ... were going to see the lights..... traditions are so much fun. This week will busy with putting up Christmas decorations and the Tree and cooking for Thanksgiving dinner. We were supposed to be in Florida this week so Im a little sad but I am Thankful for family and being content where God wants me to be...." Im content in what ever "state" im in...lol Paul was a wise man.

I will try to post pictures later.

Please listen

This is so amazing. I pray that you will listen and have open hearts to what brother Paul has to say. It is short but amazing. Are you really a Christian?

Toothless

Well Nikki Jean lost her front tooth and man is she cute. We are still under the weather here. The boys are still sick and so we are just trying to get everyone well. Hope to be back to normal soon.

Busy and the Sick

All the kids and Mom are runny nose and coughing.... yaaa So I do not feel like blogging but I will update any way. Please still pray for the shop and Pray for us to get better. Here is a picture of John Michael... He is 9 months old in a couple of days... Wow time flys when your having fun "with 7 kids"... It is hard to imagine but we are ready for another little one again....is that not the Lord... and craziness... Holding theses sweet babies is precious... and It would even more fun if it was a sweet little girl... but for now.. I will wait on the Lord. He knows our needs before we do. So I am going to lay back on the couch and wait for all the kids to wake up...

Playn Guitars and Cards

A mean game of match up.

Sound check.

Joseph was singing sweet songs to his Momma

John is such a good daddy. He is always available to my children. No matter if it is playing guitar with Joseph or cards with the Girls.... But they get mad because he always wins.... This is why he likes playing with them..... lol

An update to our week. The shop is still slow and the electric went out at the well and we helped Tammi get the shed ready for Mom and John . I often pray for John's protection and today was no different and Im Glad that God is merciful to us. I was at the shop today with John and He told me that he was leaving at 4pm today so that he could figure out why we had no water. And the House was a mess because I had to be in the city by 9:30 to pick up parts for him and so that meant feeding all the children and getting them dressed and out the door.... in the poring down rain ...... so any way the house was like time square the day after New Years..... Crazy... with trash and laundry... So we left at 2:30 so i could get home and make it all cozy for him and make supper. Well I left the crock pot on the counter from...... ummm Sunday... ya its gross but I forgot about it and figured I would give the dogs a treat and so went to dump it over the railing off the porch by the rabbit cage. There is a big pole there that has a security light on it and it is also hooked up to the same power as the well water.. hmmm well sweet milo and angel go running over to lap up the old broccoli and corn and they started yelping and barking... I mean I knew the stuff was old but I didn't think they would complain...lol so I go over there and milo will not leave the area and just keeps barking and barking... and when I would go over there he would just bark louder at me.... so I called John and told him about this phenomena and asked him if there was a wire break under ground could the dirt shock the dogs... and he said maybe.. well he dug up that spot...."turning off the power first" and sure enough the wire was broke and burnt and the ground was smoking.... under 1 ft of dirt.... He had full intentions of going around testing wires with his volt meter with the POWER ON if the dogs had not of acted crazy like this... so the moral of this story is keep left overs for important occasions... lol I don't know if this could have killed him or just gave him a good jump start but I do not want to find out. I had a cousin killed this way looking for a short with a water heater... So I was so thankful for Milo and Angle and my old food on the counter.... I hope you have a great week. And remember to pray for the ones you love. And tell them you love them every day... And kiss like you won't see them for a year. Life is but a blur...
