Exhausted

Mommy is letting me do this Post for her since she is Soooooooo exhausted from BLACK FRIDAY. I am pretty tired myself but she wanted me to let you all know that we had the most wonderfullest thanksgiving that i have ever had. i loved the whole family getting together thing, my grandma made some really great food for everyone to eat, of course i didn't actually taste it but i was at the table and it smelt so good. i enjoyed all my brothers and sisters and cousins all being together. My aunt and uncle were pretty cool too, everyone was so happy to be together. Then on friday can you believe that my mommy and my grandma and my bubba nolan and my sissy justina and me all got up at 3AM to go shop, yes I said to go shop, I am not sure what all this shopping was about but it was crazy.

The Big Day

Can I tell you that relief doesn't even describe how I feel right now? Oh Ya, I am so happy to have My Parents Big 40th Anniversary behind me, I know that sounds rude BUT I can't tell you how STRESSED I have been about the whole thing. Everything went well, I wish more people would have come, but what can you do about that?? So putting that aside I am happy about how it all went. I had a wonderful Lady from my parents church come and I helped her decorate, it went fast and easy, that is always nice :) Then after we (me and my kids) decorated, we headed for a time of relaxation ~lol~ Not really, I wanted to let the kids have some fun since I have been so stressed lately so we headed for Chuck-E-Cheese ~GREAT BIG GRIN~ Actually they all had their own money so they paid for it, that is always nice. They had a fun time and I enjoyed it also, it was nice to just get away for a little while. My dear husband went with my dad to a men's retreat but they ended up not finding the ri

Catching up

OK, so life is not the same now that I have EIGHT children, I guess I didn't realize it until I thought about the things I used to be able to get done in a day, and Now well it is different. Of course nursing takes up a lot of that time But just having eight children is A LOT, people used to tell us that after 3 kids it doesn't matter how many you have, it's all the same. Well I am here to say they were wrong! Of course, they only had 2 kids "grin" Now that I got that off my chest, I am going to attempt to "catch up" on our happenings. For starters I am planning my parents 40Th anniversary reception and so I have been stressed to the hilt trying to make sure it comes together on a budget of nearly nothing, lol. But guess what????????? My Heavenly Father is soooooooooooo wonderful and He happens to be very wealthy, soooooooooooooooo I have had decorations donated and a decorator offer to help me. All the food is being donated, and the cake may even get pa

They requested some pics of Mia our Joy so even though it is almost midnight I am going to use this time that I actually have to post some pics, but I will save any news for later cuz there is too much going on for me to even write about, but I will say that God is Good, every day!!!

Discouragement

Yes, I have been discouraged just a tad but Praise The Lord I am over it and am feeling much better! Things have been going great. We filled all the Sundays that we needed to fill in Oct. and Nov. So that is a BIG blessing. My Parents leave tomorrow for their 40yr anniversary trip, they are going to Hawaii, LUCKY! Actually they deserve it and I am sooo glad they get to go! We get to house sit while they are gone,woooohooo!!!! I can have a week of cooking in a NORMAL kitchen, do you know how hard it can be to cook for 10 people in a small convection oven????????????????????? I also get to take a shower and leave the water running for the whole shower, and not worry about running out of hot water, AND Jon and I get to sleep in a KING size bed, yippee, this is me jumping up and down. lol The kids are all doing pretty good. Noah and Levi are doing Kindergarten together this year and they are making great progress, I am so proud of them! It has been a blessing seeing my older children growi

Hunter vs. Animal Activist

Ok it is not good to have a hunter living in the same house as an Animal Activist! Today we found a channel on our T.V. this is a rare thing so we were watching what was on, and of all things to be on, HUNTING, yes it was all about a guy hunting for a bear. This was the dialogue that I heard while the show was on: Noah: "Oh wow, I hope a bear comes, I want to see him kill a bear" Hailey: "No, I hope a bear does not come, is he really going to shoot a poor bear?" Noah: "Yes, He is going to shoot it, and I want to see it, I can't wait" Hailey: "You shouldn't want to see a poor animal die" Noah: "Oh look here comes a bear, shoot it, shoot it, shoot it!" Hailey: "No don't shoot it, I can't look, is he shooting it, Mom is he shooting it?" Noah: "Oh ya, he got it, Oh that is sooooo cool, I can't wait to go hunting with Grandpa!" Hailey: "Oh no it's suffering, mom why are they letting it suffer,

Sick!!!!!

Please Pray for me, I have Strep Throat and it is REAL bad! Pray that Mia does not get sick and no one else for that matter! We are scheduled to sing all day on Sunday. We just ended a missions conf. in Vancouver and we are now currently in Clarkston, WA. We leave on Monday for Yakima Home Missions Conf. which is Tuesday thru Thursday. After that we are in East Wenachee so we are busy, Please keep us in your Prayers!! Thank You!

About My Last Post

Ok , I was reading over my post and found out that some how a paragraph was deleted, how it happened I don't know, BUT it said something to the effect that Levi had an allergic reaction to new fabric softener and that is why his face swelled up but it could have also been his tooth which he did not even tell me that it was hurting. Also I had said that I was posting some Pictures for Aunt Sileena , they are pictures of Mia in a hat that she wore all day for the first time in her life :-) She (Mia) is doing very well, She is now nursing full time, once she discovered that she can enjoy being latched on much more than a bottle she was all for it! :-) Any how just wanted to ad that tid bit!

Where do I start?

Ok, It seems like it has been a while since I have had the chance to get on this computer. Currently we are in Paulsbo, WA. Jon is Preaching his first revival meeting and we are singing each night. The Lord has seemed to be blessing, and we are enjoying the Wonderful hospitality of the Pastor and his wife and the great church family here at Bible Baptist Church. The meetings are over on Friday and then we will be back at Calvary Baptist, Roy on Sat. to sing in their revival meeting. Then on Sunday the 23rd we will be at an Indian church in Tacoma, at the end of that week we will be leaving for Vancouver WA. and then to Eastern WA. where we will be for all of Oct. and some of Nov. We have had some fun things going on. We were invited to come and see the Baydo's new Ponies and the kids enjoyed riding their horse, they even learned a few things! :-0 In those pictures, you may notice that LEVI has a swollen face, well we don't know why, but he woke up Thursday morning with bumps a
