I CANNOT BELIEVE i AM HAVING A BABY THIS WEEK. Oh my Gosh were did the time go. This will be my last post as a mommy to five J's it will soon be a mommy to six J's. I am getting anxious to meet my little son hold him and smell him and know that he is OK. I am still in awe of getting the blessing of having another child, they are a miracle from God I am so very blessed.
My sciatica nerve is killing me I can barley walk and I have the nesting desire so bad yesterday we rearranged my bed room furniture vacuumed all the base boards and windowsills. the bathroom has been scrub ed down thoroughly including the linen closet. The laundry room is spotless all my laundry is almost all done. His nursery will be done tomorrow. It is crazy of all the stuff I want done including the cub boards.
Please keep me in your prayers my c-section is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. for Friday morning Char

19 more days

I met with the surgeon for the last time before my surgery. He is so matter a fact kinda guy. Well Char we will see you the 19Th for your c-section and tubal ligation. No I promise to be careful. I will not drink any alchol or coffee the night before or the morning of. Or hey this is will all work out and everything will be o.k. None of that just see ya on the 19Th. Be sure you don't eat anything after midnight and be at the hospital on time 5:30 a.m.

I have been felling very hormonal and emotional about having a baby and a new born also Jenna is going to seem so big when I bring him home. He still has no name and that is bothering me so bad, His nursery is not done and not to mention we still do not have a big enough car for the whole family to fit in.

True confession I have had to stop watching John and Kate plus 8 because to be perfectley honest I am getting very jealous of them getting everything they need. I need a car it is not that big of an idea especially for my Lord. Pleease keep us in your prayers for all of our needs and want's thank you, Char

BEING DONE

Well with lots of prayer and seeking Him this will be the last baby cornwell. It is such a hard decision to make. I know that He gives us free will on this decision and I have heard of it so many times when women get their tubes tied or men get a vasectomy they still get pregnant. I also struggle with that if I know that He is in control of my whole life than why do I want control of this aspect of it. I know that this deccisionis best for my family. I know what is also best for my health I also know my heart and what I can handle.

My children are such a blessing why do I not want any more blessings these are the thoughtsthat go trough my head even though I know they are lies. We have prayed and seeked Him in this hard decision.

Sometimes I wish that He would give me my life script and I would have all of the answers. No I don't because than I would not need to trust Him or rely on Him or cling to Him.

With all of that said I am having my baby boy on December 19 I am having a c-section and getting my tubes tied. I still need J names pleasekeep me in your prayers........

A BABY BOY

WUltrasound confirmed that we are having a healthy baby boy. Jesiah has nick named him baby monkey. I can fell him moving all around I love that feeling that is one of my favorite things about being pregnant. Any suggestions on J names any and all will be appreciated. love, Char

youth retreat

we had a blast at our youth retreat. The k ids wee such a blessing we played games we had great studies and shared testimonies, the kids loved playing with these gigantic boxing gloves they were a huge hit. My hubby made all of our yummy meals he wanted the kids to have nice meals he had ribs, potatoes bread and a delicious salad my sister made. For breakfast we had pan cakes sausage and bacon and cereal than for lunch we had sandwiches chips and salad

Their studies were on purity worshipping and faith, The most amazing thing for me to see was how much there attitudes changed, they were begging us for more worship they were clapping there hands and praising Him . They begged us for another retreat friendships were made that were not there before. It made my heart happy and I personally had a blast hanging gout with them even though they made me stay up until 2:00 a.m. playing cut throat Mafia and hide n seek.

FAMILY REUNION

HEE HAW BABY

Wow this has been a long 5 days. We had our second annual reunion we had 11 kids and 9 adults we had a blast. It is so much fun to get together with my hubby's sisters and his aunt and uncles. I learned so much about my hubby and his mom. My hubby's mom died when he was 10 so I really don;t know much about him or his mom. His aunt and uncle were able to join us they were such a fun couple. His aunt has liver cancer and stomach cancer she also has heart problems and five hernias but you would never know it she radiates the Love of our Lord.

I also got to share the love of our Lord to my hubby's youngest sister she is searching and she will find. She has been sober for 4 years and she knows there is something missing from her life. I was able just to tell her that we love her and we are so proud of her. Also told her that her sins were forgiven all she has to do is ask.Her name is Donna if you think about her please pray for her...

Thanks, Char

Jennas surgery and birthday wishes

hours after surgery
the next day

happy birthday jenna I can not beleive how fast a year can go by. love, mommy

Jennas surgery was a huge success. I can not believe how well it went. First off they changed her scheduled time three times so my hubby was not able to go. My dear sister took me and that made it a lot easier for me. They said that she would fight them as they put her under anesthesia but she did not. She went under with no problems and came out of it as happy as she went under.

Update on my pregnancy I am doing great baby is doing good. I am starting to feel a little bit better. I have a headache every day and that is annoying as can be.

My baby turns one today and my five year old turns six on Saturday boy oh boy where does the time go......

Jennas surgery

Please be praying for my daughter tommorow. She is having surgery on her eye to remove a dermotoid tumour. The surgery should last about 1/2 hr to a 1 hr. Her doctor is convinced that it is a non cancerous tumour that developed while she was in the womb. please keep us in your prayers... Char

proud moment for a mom

janaes hair before the big cut

the first cut
after she elooks so cute if I do say so

My daughter made my heart so happy. She received a A+ on her biography of William Stratton. I asked her want she wanted for getting a A+ she said she wanted her hair cut. We had read a article about cancer patients and how you can donate your hair to Locks of Love. We went to Cost cutters and they said that they needed 9 inches to be able to donate it. With a smile on her face she said OK and she was ready. I think in all honestly I was more sad than she was. At the same time she made me very proud of her. She looks so grownup with her new hair do. Have a great fun relaxing weekend.

I love my older brother

I have such a busy Friday. First I have to take Jesiah to the dentist he got hit in the mouth by his older brother with a metal stake and no the tooth has one of those little pimples above it. My heart is just sick about it. He will problaby loose a few of his front teeth he is only three. Please be praying for me morning g sickness and blood to not go well. Plus I am on the verge of crying about the whole thing.

Next I have to run over to the park my kids have game day today so they invited the parent's to come watch. That will be fun.

Then I have a ob appointment this afternoon to go ever all of my blood work and to schedule a ultrasound. In the beginning whole pregnancy is so hard for me. I seriously have to take it one day at a time. And trust that He knows what is best for me. He loves me and I am His child I know what I would do for my kids and that is nothing compared to what the Lord will do for me.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND,

LOVE, CHAR

Hope every one is having a blessed week. Do you ever just take the time to look around at what we are so blessed to have, I am the type of person that takes more time com planning then enjoying what I do have. I spend a lot of time looking at catalogs wishing I could have that or hoping I could do that. I want to spend more time on thanking Him for what I do have all of the silly things and special things that He has given me. I take so much for granite.

My hubby was just telling me about a study that he heard on the radio. It was saying that we yell at our kids for stupid things like ruining a piece of furniture or spilling milk on the rug. All of those material things are going to the junk yard some day our children and the people around us are not they are going to heaven with us and sometimes we care about the material things in our lives more than we do about the people in our lives including our children.

WITH ALL THAT SAID I AM PREGNANT AND EXPECTING NUMBER SIX SOME TIME IN DECEMBER SO PLEASE BE PRAYING FOR ME. I HAVE HAD A FEW MISCARRIAGES IN MY LIFE AND I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE

LOVE, CHAR

A MAGICAL NIGHT

JANAE AND STEVE AT THE DANCE

FAMILY AND FRIENDS
TAYLOR AND JANAE

What a magical night. a group called young Life held a daddy daughter dance at the middle school gym. When I first saw the advertisement for the dance my heart skipped a beat. I thought what a fun time to go to the dance with your daddy. Then I was so scarred that her dad would say no but he did the exact opposite. H e was so excited to take his little girl. The night was perfect we bought Janaedress and new shoes and a cute little brown sweater.

We had a fun day we painted our nails and i put her hair in a ponytail than I curled her hair in ringlets. For the first time I let her wear a very very light pink eye shadow and a little lip gloss. After I helped her get dressed and I put some glitter on her and her pretty necklace I stood back and cried like a baby, my little girl is growing up so fast. She looked amazing she was so beautiful.

Her dad came down and I have to say he looked hot he even wore a tie and a nice pair of pants and dress shirt. What a fun night I had Janae take my camera so she could get pictures of her friends and my nieces.

My oldest son turns 12 today

His brothers and sisters

Easter he has such a great personality
I can not beleive my son is 12 today. He is so excited he is telling everyone that he is a preteen now scarry. He would give youthe shirt off of his back he has a huge heart. Jordan loves the Lord so much he witness to all that he meets. I hope you ahve a rocken birthday Jordan we love you so much and we are so proud of you.

HAPPY EASTER

I just wanted to take the time and wish everyone out there a very happy Easter. I am trying to take this special day and really think about what Christ did for me. I can see in my life how I take so much for granted. Waking up every day healthily and my children do not have a horrible disease . I have a warm beautiful house that he has provided I have a ugly but running car that He provided. I have a awesome place to worship that they teach the word verse my verse nothing is added to His word. I have five amazing children. He suffered for you and me. He took the price so we can live. Have a Blessed Easter and enjoy the beautiful day the He has provided for each one of us. <

HIS TIMMING

Well once again we are in the middle of cleaning up our house making it nice and pretty . We met with our friend who is a Christan and he is a awesome Realtor. H e is going to list our house for us so once again our house will be for sale. If we sale our house we will be able to get out of some finangle stuff that we have gotten our selves into. Debt just plain SUCKS we hate it.
I
I love my house but I am willing to sell it to get out of some debt. It is so hard to really know what God wants when you can barley hear Him because you are so focused on money I hate it. We always say oh that would be so cool to do that or go on a mission trip to where ever but we never have the money.

I am clinging to that verse in Mathew about Him taking care of the birds and also I love how He tells us if we knock He will answer so please be praying for us.

On that note we have a bunch of stuff to do by Monday here they are
1. paint my daughters room
2. paint my sons room
3. rake front yard and back yard
4. remove tree stumps on the side of house
5. Put everything in storage
6. caulk the cupboards in kitchen
7 tidy up back yard
8. remove lantern from front yard
9. disinfect and make father in laws room smell good. this will be on of the hardest jobs.
. 10. tidy up My room
11. move office out of our room and into daughters room.

God is good and He will see us through to the end

life in our house

I had a great day my honey suprised me by comming home from woek early this morning. My 5 year old got a much needed hair cut from his dad. He must have really likes his long hair because he cried the whole way through it Janae is home from school she ahs pnemonia if you can please pray for her to get over this. Jenna had her first ponytail complements of her big sister. She looks so cute with her ponytail on top of her head.
We had a conference today for Jordan he is not doing well in school. We are trying to decide wether he will move on to sixth grade or not. I tell you what upsets me the most is that if you decide to homeschool and than put them into sschool your children have to deal with alot of stuff. Like a color wheel that was taught in first grade my fifth grader can not get the concept down. He has a real hard time foccusing on the lesson. Their is stuff that the public school teaches that a lot of homeschooled kids are not taught at home and they have to play catch up.
Please keep us in your prayer's we need a lot of prayer.
p.s. If you need any car work done and you live near us my husband is trying to make some extra cash for taxes my prayer is that he can make enoug side work to pay for his knee surgery. He has really bad knees they are over taken by arthritist.
His doctor says he has knees of a 90 year old man.This is really hard on him he is a very outgoing man that loves to play sports and rough house with his kids.
I n His Love and mine also,
Char
