Momentous Monday

Today I'm joining in on a new blog hop that I found from A Moment Cherished. Just click on the button if you would like to join in and link up.

This was a couple weeks ago. I was getting ready to mix up a cake mix. My Jennifer who is six loves to help me. She goes to afternoon kindergarten. So mornings we spend a lot of Mommy and Jennifer time plus my one yr old Carly. She has been learning to read and doing well at school too. She picked the box up and was reading the instructions as she calls them. I added the mix and eggs and was pouring the oil in the measuring cup. She said Mommy that's not the right oil. She kept saying Vinegar Oil. I thought that's not right , I looked at the box and here it said vegetable oil. I told her and she said Oh I see and we sounded out the word together. She said Mommy I'm sure glad you do the cooking cause you make everything great even the stuff I don't like. Later we frosted the cake together and then off to school she went. Bless her heart , she really made my day.


Have a great Monday !!!

God Bless

Last Week of School and Please Pray for Danielle

Wow , Here it is the last week of school. 5 days to go ......... it seems like they just went back from Easter break.

It's going to be a BUSY WEEK !!!!

Lots going on but I love it really. When I used to work I missed out on things and I only had one in school. It's nice to be able to attend things that I can.

Monday - Marie has a fieldtrip.

Jennifer graduates from Kindergarten. Mom will be crying. Hard to believe Kindergarden is done !!! Another thing is my husband is going to have to miss it because where he works they won't let anyone have vacation time right now. It sorta upsets me because this is important but I will be taking pictures for him.

Ridge has a oral report to give in his class , so right after Graduation I will be heading to that.

Then school will be out for the day.

Tuesday - Ridge gets some awards in the morning. Then come back home and take Jennifer to school.

Wednesday - Open at the moment , I think.

Thursday - School Field Day !!!

Friday - Last Day we only do a half day and all the Goodbyes !!!

Speaking of Goodbyes this Friday will be tough for the kids.

We have to make some changes ..........



Last week I found out on Wednesday that the kids have to change schools because of budget cuts. We are sad , but at the same time I'm sure things will be okay. They will adjust make new friends. One big change is the school they will be going to is not year round and we all really liked that. So now the kids are going to be home for the whole summer. It will be good though , we will have fun !!!

One more thing before I run off. Please keep my wonderful friend Danielle in your prayers as she maybe having her Rainbow Baby Seth tomorrow. Praying for a wonderful delivery and a screaming healthy baby !!!


Have a great day.

God Bless

A Better Day

Just a little post to tell you all I'm feeling better. Not so sad , just I have a huge heart , things really get to me sometimes. Also being far away from family is sometimes tough to. 2500 miles doesn't make it easy either. I thank you all for the sweet comments. It helps a lot.

Courtney's loss really made me sad. It breaks my heart so much. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. It's so raw and so sad it's hard to lose but now three times. I went through a lot when I was young I had always been told by three different doctor's that I wouldn't be able to have a child. I used to spoil everyone's children. I wanted so much just to have the chance to have that little someone love me so much. There were times I should have been pregnant but nothing. It hurt me , I prayed spent lots of time crying , but then one day it happened and it was the greatest blessing of all. Yes I have lost two children and it hurts. I'm praying for Courtney and Jason and for the days that follow them. I know God is good and he will see them through this hard time in there life once again.

On my bright thought from yesterday .........

I went to school to keep up my kids from school like always. Well both girls were out and I was waiting on Ridge. Sometimes he takes forever, always talking or something. Well finally , there he was and his teacher. Here she wanted to tell me that Ridge done very well in computer class today.

They were studying this ..........



Here his computer teacher gave the 4th and 5th grades a quiz on internet safety. It was only ten questions. So he gave it to Ridge's 3rd grade class and so far from the whole day Ridge was the only one to get a perfect score. I was happy , but on our walk home from school the kids and I was talking about it. I told them that is sad that maybe some children don't know all the knowledge they should or maybe there parents don't take or have the time when they are on the computer. Our desktop sits in our living room so if the children are on the computer I can see everything they are doing and if they have to search for something we ask that they tell us. We also have all there favorites in a folder for each one of them so they don't have to go looking everytime. It really made me feel good that Ridge knew what he should for safety while being on there.

Hope you have a good day !!!!!

God Bless

Feeling Sadness

Look at this picture the beautiful sunset w/ the dark clouds. It's sorta how I'm feeling today. I'm sad and I'm happy. I know that God is good but the past couple days I have felt alot of sadness. Trying to be happy sometimes doesn't work that well.
Looking at this picture I can see the begining and the end. The dark clouds and the sunset. But looking at the sunset so beautiful is the hope of a beautiful and new day filled with promise.



So this verse I thought of today and I'm praying for so many today.


John 14:1
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.


A good friend of our family is in the hospital in Canton, Ohio. They don't have all the tests back but he was having trouble breathing and his chest was hurting very bad and fluid had built up on his lungs. So I'm praying I hear some good news today.

Then last night right after dinner I found out a mutual friend of my older two children's father and I passed away unexpectely. I'm still in shock. He was such a good friend. I remember one night when he saved me from getting beat on. He even helped me go to the domestic sheltar when I decided this was what I needed to do. So I'm praying for his family that is left and I know they are dealing with the shock too.

Also I'm praying for Courtney and her husband Jason as they lost another child Wyatt River. Praying for peace and comfort as they walk this road once again. Here is a button to Courtney's Blog.





God Bless
