Babbles

  These past couple of days, Sawyer, has been sick. We usually don't take him to the Dr for a fever (unless it's high), but it wouldn't break and only kept getting higher. We broke down 30 minutes before the Peds office closed (yes, we were one of those people yesterday!), so we could see what was going on. He didn't show any signs of being sick except having a high fever and sleeping most of the day away. If you know Sawyer Ray, you know that isn't like him. They ended up diagnosing him with Roseola which is an illness from a viral infection and we are to let it run it's course--nothing major. What parent wants to watch their child go through anything...even as simple as a cold? Not I! He seemed to be doing a tad bit better this afternoon, but he started to feel sick again this evening. Keep the poor guy in your prayers!

 Another request is prayers for me. I have been battling this undiagnosed issue for over 1.5 year and the past two months, I've been going through a good bit of x-rays, ultrasounds, etc. I don't want to even talk about this word because even though I do not know my diagnosis fully, I feel horrible talking about it on social networking because I know a few people who have or they know someone who has it and if everything comes back OK, then I feel like I hurt someone because they are hurting with it. I also don't like talking about myself much--especially since we have had A LOT of things that have been going on this year--I admit...it gets annoying reading it on FB. That's why I Blog. I am going yet again to another appt tomorrow, pretty important appointment actually, but I KNOW this is all apart of Gods plan. I will Blog more about the situation once we know what all is going on, but pray for guidance, strength, comfort, and answers as I go to my appointment.

  Remember me telling you in a previous Blog that I had some exciting news to share?! Well, here it goes.............DRUM ROLL PLEASE...............we joined Powdersville First Baptist Church! This may not be as exciting to you as it is to us, but we are happy! We have been on the hunt for a Church for over a year now, taking our time to visit most of the Churches in this area. Something about the ones we previously visited, it didn't feel right. It wasn't 'home' if that makes sense. We have been going to PFBC for 9 months and we had been praying and praying and praying and praying and praying and praying about joining for 8 months and then God answered our prayers. It was all in His timing, we just had to put our trust in Him. So with that being said, he had been wanting to get Sawyer dedicated. We were never able to because Hubs left shortly after he was born with the military, and then when he came home we started looking for a Church home. We wanted to attend a Church closer to home and to be more involved. We decided once we found a Church home whenever that would be, we would dedicate him then. On Fathers Day, we ended up joining AND dedicating Sawyer. It can't get any more amazing than that! As I am sitting here typing this, I can't help but smile and thank Him for directing our family. I am blessed to say that not only do we have one Church family, but we now have 2. I go to my parents Church on days Hubs works and has drill because I am a very shy person until you get to know me and I hate doing things on my own. I need to step out of my comfort zone and just go by myself. Easier said than done! I love both Church families with my entire heart and so happy to know that we can count on them for anything.

I think I may go and take a much needed bubble bath and then hit the hay early. It's tough work taking care of a sick kiddo! Nite!

Just Full of Good News

  I always say I am am back for good and then months go by and I never post anything. Can't blame it on anything except I stay so busy! This evening I have finally had time to sit down, relax, and just think. I miss blogging. I miss reading the replies on Facebook from my posts. I miss my Bloggy Friends. I am going to blog more, but I can't promise everyday----haven't you heard that before too..? 

 I am still in school and chasing after two monsters all day, LOL! Hubs and I have been blessed with the biggest opportunity, but I will not be sharing that for a while. I've learned to keep most things off social media these days, sometimes it can just bite ya in the butt :) We just got back from vacation last week from Florida and had a blast! The boys got to see their Grandma, Aunt, and Uncles. MIL has a place on the Beach in New Smyrna, Fl (a two bedroom house) and we shared that itty bitty space with 11 people plus 3 more for a night. It was difficult to stay on rountine with the boys...even ourselves, but we managed! Quite challenging with that many loud people off and on for a week. To say the least, we ended up coming back 3 days early, lol! We like our space, but out of 14 people half of that were kids running around. CRAZY! We needed to get away and have been wanting to for a while, but that was the icing on the cake! Now I am looking into planning our 5 year Wedding Anniversary! How crazy is that?!?!?! I can't believe we have been married almost 5 years. I also can't believe that Christmas is only 6 months away. Life passes by so quickly, it's hard to sit and watch it. Bentley will be three in less than a month and Sawyer will be 2 in 2 months. If we had went full term with our third, we would be hitting that due date. It just amazes me how our time on earth isn't long. Anyway, as I venture off and babble--check out the picture of my three favorite people. 


Man, I love those kids! They may literally drive me in over drive crazy, but my love for them grows every minute I'm with them. I am in love and so blessed to call myself a Mom.

 Hubs and I also have some awesome news, but won't be sharing that until Father's Day, but I can tell you that God has blessed us tremendously! Father's Day is coming up and I finally figured out what I am getting Hubs. I've been tossing ideas around my head now for a while, but I have the perfect gift! ME! Just Kidding! :) I order it this afternoon, so now I can only hope UPS delivers it before next Sunday! Knowing the postal luck I have, it will probably be 1 day late just like my Moms Mothers Day gift was. Better late than never, eh? 

Now since this is the I'm baaaaaaaaaack blog, time to update this site again and refresh some pictures! Keep coming back to visit! I love having traffic on my page!
