mommy to six J's

Be sill and know that He is God..

2010-07-12T21:41:00.000-07:00

I can't beleive that my weekend was spent celebrating Jacobs 8th birthday and Jennas 3rd wow crazy. Jake actually turns eight today he is siuch a handful that I have to sit here and think of all the positive things that Jake has. He loves his baby brother and he want;s to carry him all around the house. He loves to read and study anything that he has a interst in. He loves animals and rocks.

Steve started a new job today and we are very Blessed that he is back to work. He has been unemployed now since January, God is so faithful and HE has taken such great care of us...

seeing what He has for us..

2010-04-20T21:44:00.000-07:00
Well we are back in our old house. It has been really crazy being back here. New friends and old friends. We are trying to get my hubbies other knee replaced we are waiting on approval from the surgeon. His appointment is tommorow and I am a little nervous actually a lot nervous. Knowing He is in control makes it a little easier. Steve is in a ton of pain and he hurts all of the time,
We started seeing a Christain marriage counsler today. I am embarassed to admit it. But I feel like God has asked me to be open about it. We have been married for almost fifteen years so I would assume we would have it down But we don't and our marriage has been through a lot of stress this year and we need some Godley counsling. God has totally set it up so I know it is a good thing.

Hope you all have a very Blessed week

on the road again...

2010-01-28T11:37:00.000-08:00
Well friends it looks like God is moving us once again. Can you guess where yep back to Colorado even in our same house. This is such a cool God story about a year ago God took me to a place and asked me if I loved Steve more than my house. At first I had to really think about it what was He asking me. It turns out that Steve had been praying about selling our house to get us out of this horrible finacial disater that we were in.
  Our house did not sell and a really nice Christian couple rented it for us with option to buy in six months. Well it turns out there contract on our house is up at the same time our apartment contract is up. Well due to our bankruptcy we can not sell our home at this time. My uncle knew nothing about what was going on he called and offered to pay our way back to Colorado..We prayed about it and we are moving back March 1 into our home we lived in for 8 years,
  A lot has changed in 8 months it has been challenging for my marriage and mt relationship with my children.It has tested me in every direction possible. He has been so very faithful to me during this storm. I would not change this time for anything because God loves me He chose us to go through this storm and trust me it has been a rough storm and rocky storm..
  Please pray for us as we have a lot of loose ends to tie up here and a lot of packing...

hard falls and bleeding teeth..

2010-01-15T23:28:00.000-08:00
What a horrible day. Jesiah decided that Jenna needed to fly across the living room. He pushed her she missed the bean bag and hit a plastic box. There was blood every where her teeth were bleeding all around the gums. After I got the bleeding stopped she was talking to me and I noticed that she had one tooth showing in her smile. Her tooth was shoved up in her gums. I took her to the dentest the tooth was pushed back 3 milimeters and she shattered the bone to the tooth. My poor little baby I feel so bad for her. Her mouth is so swollen and sh ekeeps telling me that it is bleeding still..
The dentist said that her tooth might fall back into place but I need to watch it for an infection. I am so sick to my stomach about the whole situaion..

Why is that both of my babies have a melt down at the same time. One is 1 years and the other is 2 and they have the exact same melt down Jace crawls up to be with his sweet little face and motions for me with his arms and smile to life him up,Jenna comes up to me with her binky and blanket she calls baby and says hold me mommy please. Oh so cute but hard at times to hold them both...
So I have entered a contest it is the biggest looser it is on face book it is cost ten dollars and the winner gets th epot at the end of two month sit is up to like one hundred and thirty smack a roos. So I entered to help motivate my lazy butt and get me on the right track. Now the plan after lots of possibilities and let me say there are alot of diets out there so not too healthly I have chosen weight watchers it has been the best for me I have done it before and lost fifty or so pounds on it.. I am begining to see that I eat out of boredom just plain boredom. Watching tv on the phone or the computer. So I have decided to drink a glass of water before I SIT ON MY BUTT.. I am also making sure that I have healthly snacks around for the boredom times.
   Here a few light string cheese. frozen grapes, 100 calorie packs, carrots, apples, so I am determined to beat the boredom blues. Got any ideas or something that works for you while you are either dieting or just trying to be healthly please share thanks...
I also have started using a small plate rather than the large ones they make it look like you have a lot of food on your plate. I also drink a full size glass of water before every meal So weather you are dieting or eating healthly my prayers go out to you for this is so hard...

Just a typical day in the house of three small children at home. Jenna wrote all over Jace's face with marker and his feet. The crazy thing is that I was sitting in the same room. Then she got into lotion and spreaded it all over the carpet it was a greasy mess. Jenna is doing good at potty training but she did poop all over the toilet lid and some on the floor.
  The worst mess was we got a new (old) dryer and we took the old broken one out it left huge black grease marks all over the carpet. I had to scrub the carpets and you can still see it.. Hope you all had a great day...

So glad I have stated up blogging again. This is a place where I can come and be honest with myself and other's. No fakey fakey here this is the real me. Well things are finally looking up for us get say what just yet but I will keep you posted. My two year old started potty training this week how fun. Actually she has done really well. Big girl panties during the day and pull ups at night. She has had a few accidents but since I have been down this road before I don't stress my self out to much...

God is so good Jace my one year old needs a bigger car seat they are sooooooooooo expensive oh my Goodness are they made out of gold or what. So my hubby and I are standing in Walmart discussing the different seats. This lady starts saying that she had that one and her son barley used it now she has a girl and wants a different seat for her. We started talking and she say's you are going to think I am weird but I have that car seat in my garage and you can have it if you want. I told her she was not weird but she was a BLESSING...
   Thank you Lord for taking care of that for us.....

Well it has been forever since I have wrote on blog. Have to say that I have became a huge fan of face book but I think I am going to blog for while as well. as much has happened to me in this last year. Jace just turned one in December he is a huge blessing he is saying mama a ton and he attached to me like glue. That 's OK with me. Beyond all of that we are now living in a different state so much has changed.

Maybe if I write it down it will be easier to deal with, first we put out house up for sale in hopes of selling it and getting out of debt. You see God was so faithful to pay our bills when Steve had his knee replaced but however HE DID not pay our credit cards we got further and further in debt. We thought if we sold the house all our problems would be solved. WE got a full asking price on our home in less than a week our Realtor was for sure this was a for sure deal. Then Steve has an offer for someone to buy his business. This is all going so fast God what do we do now. we started to pray about moving last year but because of peoples response to us was so negative we gave up and did not listen to God. Ouch that last sentence really hurts my heart. So now was the time we decided to move to Washington, let me just say that you defitley know who your true friends are when you announce you are moving.

To speed things up we moved our house fell out of the contract three days before closing and we lived in a different state. We almost lost the house but some nice Christian couple are renting it for now. Than my husbands business went under fast and hard. We are living in a very small four bed room apartment with his elderly father we had our car reposed and we are in the process of claiming bankruptcy. God has stripped us from everything we have nothing left ourapartment is so bare we have gone from a five bedroom home to this what the heck is going on where did we go wrong. My marriage has been tested over and over again and I am ashamed to say but I haven't always passed. I have gotten to the point sometimes where I am like this is not worth it I am done.

Writing this all down as been very hard for this is such a personal trial in my life. I am not good at sharing my heart with other's. I am having a hard time with trusting in general due to some situations that I can not share. Hope you have a Blessed day thanks for reading this please keep us in Ur prayer's..

If I said that I am great and this is such a Godly experience I WOULD BE LYING to myself and to my Lord.. However I can say that I am asking for Him to guide us and show us what he is doing and what is it that he wants us to do. I can also say that I trust Him with all of this and my life. Through this He has showed me that HE is so very faithful and He will meet me right where I am at.

I have tried to look at all of my blessings through all of this
1. my kids are healthily and they Love the Lord
2. Having great friends here
3. He did allow us to get our car back
4. the ocean is beautiful
5. He Loves me...

Well the Lord has cancelled my hubby's surgery,I have no reason why He has choose to do this. I have cried a lot about this even though I know He is in control. He is still on the thrown and HE loves Steve more than I do. I am sure He will show us what he wants for him and I am sure it will be better than I have or could expect.

I am adjusting to having six children. They are all such a huge blessing. It has been one trial after another since we brought jacehome. The hardest one was my hubby and my son both got staff infections at the same time. That was a huge struggle,my Father in law hit a car and than fell in the ice and broke his hip.That has been a huge struggle he is a difficult man and he is making this very difficult. He is so stubborn.
Please keep us in your prayers my husband is going to be having a double knee replacement here in less than 9 days I am freaking out if I really sit and think about it. My God is good and he gently remind me that I asked for him to be healed and this is how he is providing for it to happen. Our church family is putting together some fund raisers for us to help with all of the bills this is such a humble experience, Meals have already started coming in. Our Lord is so good.

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

2008-10-16T14:03:00.000-07:00

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........

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

2008-07-22T18:13:00.000-07:00
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

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......

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.

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

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.

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

2008-03-11T20:51:00.000-07:00
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

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,

So for this year I am going to list 10 things that I am thankful fro and then spend each day thanking my Lord and Savior for them. I challenge you to do the same. As we all know that every good thing comes from Him.

10 things that I am so thankful for.

2007-08-24T22:06:00.000-07:00
I have had a very hard decision to make this week.I am a mom who up until last year enjoyed homeschooling my children, I had a hard year my daughter had some health issues and my son had some learning difficulties. I had came to the realization that my children are falling more and more behind each year, My husband and I started to pray about what to do. I told my pastor that I wished that this answer was in the bible to tell me exact ally what I should do.

With lots of prayer and some crying we have decided to put our children in public school. This has been a hard decision but once I took my self out of the picture the Lord was able to talk to me. My fear was that I let my children down or I let my husband down but most of all I did not want to let my Lord down.

I asked for God to put such a excitement in my children that they would be excited. They are so excited we went school shopping on Friday we had a blast. My daughter actually said she wished it was Monday on Saturday so she could go to school. I know that Gods hand is upon my children no matter where they are, He is in control of their lives as well as my life. I will be sad tomorrow I know that I will miss them I have had them with me 24/7 there entire life's. They are such a huge help with the younger kids who will I talk to during the day who will get me a diaper when I need one. That is all the thoughts I have going through my mind. They are all so selfish I know that my children will be a light to a lost world I am excited for this new chapter in there lives.

Her beautiful nursery

lots of laundry

I can not believe I am on my way to my last doctors visit. Now I am getting scared and anxious. Thank you all for praying for me for the piece to my crib. You will n ever believe how God answered my prayers the lady at Walmart took apart the display crib and gave me the piece that I needed. I gave her a huge hug she probably thought I was a freak. She did not even know how she blessed my life. Well the nursery is all done the only thing that I am missing is a rocking chair and lamp and valance. The lamp and valance are on their way. If you are bored and want to check out my babies guest book here is the url. http://www.babiesonline.com/members the password is glorified please stp by and say hi to her.

Please keep me in your prayers I am going for an induction on the 11Th of July. After your first baby it seems to be a Lot scarier because you know the pain. Any verses of words of encouragement would be great. Love, Char

sisters and there beautiful girls
I had a my baby shower at a local coffee shop here in my town. We has a super great time the food was yummy the cake was delicious and my Friends and family are more than I deserve. I can not believe how soon I will be holding a new born. She is due in JULY 18TH but my doctor will be gone that week so we will have a induction on the 11th. That is so scary for me to even think about. I have so much still to do. I can't even believe this one myself I went to put up my old crib which is only 2 years old I lost the little slider piece to the crib the one that allows you to put the side rail up and down. I called the company and the number is disconnected that is so my luck. Walmart has no new number I called another company and she said they would let me now if they had it with in the week it has been over a week and a half. I am praying so hard for this little piece I love my crib it is natural sleigh crib. Please pray that I can locate this little piece it is so aggravating.

Hope everyone had a terrific father's day, Char

Charadam over at fifty toes has tagged me for personal policies. Like silly policies we impose on ourselves. I have to say that I had to really think hard about this one. I don't think I have any she had a bunch to share. Here a few we always brush our teeth before bed if we don't the kids teeth will fall out just ask my four year old. My daughter could not get her ears pierced until she culd ask her self at which she did when she was 4 she said I wan't my ears pierced just like my uncle Mike. Birthdays are huge for us its your special day and the world does revolve around you for one day in your life. I will not fly and I hate heights I mean hate.
will that is a few that I culd think of had to get some help from fifty toes.

Helping daddy work on the cars.

even after knee surgery he helped when Jesiah was a new born.

daddy gave them free rein on his old lawn mower he even helped them take it all apart.

I just wanted to take the time and say happy Fathers day to the best daddy in the world. I decided to do this post early because Sundays are a busy day for us. I could not ask for a better daddy to my four children soon to be five. Steve is the dad who will always take his kids with hi.. He takes them all out to dinner to the store to work wherever he goes they go to. It's funny because just last week we were at the store to pick p some milk before we picked the kids up at my moms. Two store clerks asked him where his kids were. They said it was unusual to see him solo. God has truly blessed out family my pray for my husband is that God will continue to grow this family through my husband leading us to follow more after Him.

What are you doing.?
His first haircut

my precious family all done the finished look. He is so cute.
My wonderful hubby .

We have had such a busy week. Our dear friends were married on Friday myself and some other friends wer in charge of serving some 250 people their reception dinner. That was fun but very tiring. We had a good time in the kitchen laughing and goofing off. We even managed to burn two huge cans of beans. So everyone got more salad. The wedding was beautiful and the bride and groom got off with no problems.

My youngest had his first hair cut. A good friend of mine came to my house and snipped away. He was so funny all he kept starring at were her tattoos. He sat like a little gentlemen and now he looks all grown up.It is so funny because for me it is always so hard to cut their hair for the first time. And than when it's all done I alway's say what took me so long to do that.

Well the nursery is all painted and the border is up it is so cute. I love the color cominations of pink and brown once I have the crib up and ecerything in the rihgt palce I will post some pictures. My sister in law has been a saint she has helped me to so much of the work. Actually she has done most of the work. I hope everyone has a great weekend rest and relax enjoy the sun shine. In His love and mine, Char

My visit with my dad was so good. He looks so great you would never be able to tell that he was dying a year ago of lymphoma cancer. He is such a a sweet man he will talk to any one who will listen . He loves to tell his fish stories and when he tells them he gets this little smirk and gets all excited. He is usually a little hard on my oldest son but this time they got along great. They pulled some rose bushes out together and that was a lot of hard labor. We did not get to to much with him since he was only here for a week. But here are some pictures of the park and around the house.

I still can not beleive we are having a little girl . It seems like forever being Janae is 9. Well the only down fall of this is that I have to have th eextra room ready when my dad gets here.

WE ARE HAVING A HEALTHY BABY ....

2007-04-06T06:50:00.000-07:00

We had our ultrasound on April 4 after a long hour of listening to this lady tell me about all of the problems my baby could have because I am over the big 35. I was laying on the table just not caring what the sex was as long as it had four chambers in the heart and working lungs and a closed spine and all of this other horrible terrifying stuff. They even ask you if you want a amnositisist right their. NO thank you I am not fond of huge needles being placed in my stomach. Than they ask you why you choose not to have the test done for down syndrome. Can you believe that asking me why like its any of there business.

After listening to this doctor tell me all that could go wrong he finally says that every thing looks perfect and we are having a BABY GIRL............ I CRIED LIKE A BABY MYSELF. I HAD HEARD SO MANY TIMES THERE IS THE SCROTUM AND THIS TIME THEY SAID THEIR IS THE LITTLE GIRL PARTS HE SAID HE IS 100 PERCENT SURE.

God is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goooooooodddddddddd. HE loves us so much I just want to praise HIM and thank Him for a healthy baby girl.

In His Love,

ALMOST FRIDAY

I can't wait for Friday to come. This has been a hard and tiring week. We spent most of the weekend shopping for mu husbands office stuff. We are moving him into our bed room so we can have room for the baby to have the nursery. What a job there is still a lot to do it is hard to find places to put every thing are room is not that big. But when its all done it will be nice to have a nursery for the baby.
We are having our pastor and his wife and their kids over for dinner tomorrow night. I am making homemade lasagna garlic bread and salad. They are our good friends so we will have a good time. I am always intimated to make dinner for any one especially my pastor because he is such a good cook. He did some inspections for my husband and the bill said one homemade dinner from Char so please be praying fro me thanks. Well the big ultrasound is going to be on April 4 which happens to be my 10 year old birthday. The big question is will we find out if it;s a boy or girl. I really don't want to but steve does. I guess we will see what happens on that day. I am a little nervous because it's the 3d one to find out if all looks good with the baby. hopefully we she little girl parts if we do peek

Trials are hard.. But Thank you for them.

2007-03-01T09:03:00.000-08:00

I can not believe that I am 5 months praise God. I have to say this has been a very hard time in my life trusting him completely. I have been attending a women's bible study by Beth Moore. The study is so great if you ever have a chance to take it you should. She has us do this 5 point pledge is Say's this. 1. God can do what he says He can do. 2. God is who says He is. 3. I am who God Say's I am. 4. I can do all things through Christ. 5. Gods word is alive and active in me. That is a constant reminder that He can do what He says he can do.
This has been so hard for me because I had to have a d/c last October and I did not want to go through that again that is my second one I have had enough. For me it was like I stood in line for a baby and I came home with nothing a emptiness inside me that hurt so bad that I hated every one around me especially the teen girls who did not want a baby. And all of the women at the mall who were pregnant. I wasn't mad at God but I was hurt and confused. I went through the why Me's a lot. I had horrible fights with my husband I told my pastor to get out of my house that I had nothing to say to him. Thank God for a loving and merciful Savior He brought me to a place where I had to trust Him. Nothing else satisfied the emptiness except Him. I look back on that time in my life where all I did was cry and was so horribly saddened I am so thankful that I had that trail it gave me a more intimate relation ship with my Jesus. My Jesus the one who suffered for me He took the pain for me He loves me so much that he gave His life for me.
Trials are hard I will even go as far as saying that sometimes they just plain suck. They are such a growing experience for us they bring us closer to our loving Savior. He has the perfect plan for us. He can see what our future has for us even though we sometimes think we know what is best for us. He Loves you so much and He wants the best that we can't even imagine what that is. Thank you Jesus for all you have done and will do.

PSYCHO SHOPPER

2007-01-13T14:51:00.000-08:00
I came to realize something about myself this weekend. It is that I am a psycho why you ask. I got word that Old Navy was having the hugest sale of the year. They had 50 percent off of the clearance price. Can you believe it I was ata lost for words. One of My favorite stores had lost their mind. So come Friday morning I awoke to snow and freezing temperatures. Do you think that stopped me nope. Let's see I have a free babysitter a daughter who is so excited to spend mommy time. So I say self we have to go the roads are not that bad and Old Navy is having a huge sale.
After freezing my buns off while I scraped my car with my daughters help, we bundled up ourselves and risked our lives in the freezing cold. It was all worth it the roads were not that bad. We arrived at the store with lot's of other crazy people. My heart skipped a beat when I saw how wonderful the sale actually really was. Here are a few of my deals a jacket for hubby original price$ 44.50 my price $9.00. fleece lined pants original price $19.50 my price $5.00. Pants for hubby$ 6.00 jeans for daughter$ 5.00. sleep pants for me $4.00. My day PRICELESS. IF you have ever became psycho over a sale share with me. Char p.s. total savings for the day were over FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS.........................

Jordan singing deck the halls
I love my new clothes mommy

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We started out by having the two oldest read to us Janae read a Proverb and Jordan read the birth of our Lord and Savior. Christmas memories are so fun to watch the excitement on their faces. My four year old was so excited to receive the Thomas train that has the steam engine. Janae was so excited to get that cabbage patch boy doll the one that she thaught was for her cousin this whole time. Than jordan was so excited to get that studded black belt that is two sizes too big. And than to see a grandpa get so thrilled about some old movies that we picked up for him. Than their is our Nana she was thrilled and delighted to receive a Rachel ray cookbook. What joy it is to see people over joyed on this special day. We are so blessed that we live where we live and we are able to enjoy this Holiday Season.
Well for us the Christmas excitement left as when we arrive home from a family dinner my h usband and my daughter both got sick. We ended our night watching Thomas go round and around the train track as my husband slept and my daughter layed in agony with a tummy ache. Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, Char

Well so much has happened since I last blogged. My week has really been one big blur. On Friday at 5:30 am I AWOKE to my front door bellringing and my cell phone all ringing at the same time. It was my husband who was standing at the front door with glass all over him. He hit a deer and his side window was completely shattered but thank God he was ok. Our windows had just been shot out of with a bb gun by some lovely kids so know he had 2 windows to replace.
Than Friday mid morning my daughter at the time I thought she was having a asthma attack actually ended up that she was prolaby having a mild seizure we ended up in the emerency room after a cat scan and bood work they think she is having petite maul seizures. That was scary because I have been treating her with a breathing machine for asthma and the whole time she prolaby has been having seizures. She had a mri yesterday and she is scheduled for a eeg on the 21st and her appointment with the petriactrics neurologist is on the 29th. So please keep her in your prayers.
Well on a lighter note I think I am going to have to change my blog name to mommy to fives j's we found out that we are expecting our fifth miracle from God around the 21st of July. I am very excited and nervous. I miscarried and had a d/c last October. So please pray for a healthy pregnancy And that my body will be healthy and all will go well with this little life inside me.
My God has been so wonderful through all of this He has gave me verses and peace about Janae He showed me the verse in Jeremiah about how HE knew her before He formed her in my womb. He loves her even more than I do which seems hard to believe.

Loving Nana

2006-11-07T06:48:00.000-08:00

Today is a hard time for me. My Nana's memorial is this afternoon. She passed away the morning after Halloween. I am rejoicing that she is heaven she loved her Lord. I am also sad that I get touch her any more talk to her or just go visit her. My kids will never have the relationship with her as I always did. We got together last night with family an talked about her and all of our memories. She all described her one word here are some the words that best described my nana. Loving, honest, kind,gentle,unconditional love,forgiveness,foxy,hospitable,sincere,tranquility,sweetness. When we were done we saw that she was like Jesus she had all of the attributes of our Lord. A couple of days before she passed away she had a amazing thing happen my Aunt went over their to see her she was cleaning and laughing and playing worship music. My nana was always sick and not felling well so this was out of her character. She said I fell better than I have in 10 years she said I met with my Jesus and asked for forgiveness and he took all of my guilt away had a talk and he met me here. I am so thank ful for that conversation she had with mey aunt. Because if my Nana had passed away a year ago I am not sure where she would be today. She was baptized less that a year ago and she gave her life to our Lord.
This death has made me open my eye's to my family for years I have not been around them very much well some of them like my aunt and nana and my mom but the other's have bugged me or hurt me. I have forgave them but I still did not want to be around them. This has made me see that if I have truly forgave them than I need to be around them I need to show them the love of Jesus many of them are not saved. Jesus hung out with tax collectors and prositutes. Who am I hanging out with. I challenge you this holiday season to maybe spend time with family members that maybe bug you are frustate you. They need to see how much their Lord loves them.
Please be praying for my family this afternoon they will be to doing a alter call and that would be so amazing to see people get saved through my nana's death. Especially pray fro my step dad Ron and my uncle scott thank you,
In His Love and mine, Char

Today is Friday it is prayer request day. First I want to pray for our nation and all the craziness that is going on at all of the schools. I have read and heard that the Amish family went to his funeral and they told the nation that they forgave the man that killed their daughter. I want to lift up our teenagers they are in such a spiritual battle they need to be covered in prayer for guidance and protection. I want to pray for our president in all of the huge dissions that he has to make in order to run this country.

saying goodbye is so hard.:(

2006-09-29T06:06:00.000-07:00
A relaxing Saturday before Janae's game
This is the bowl that I was talking about

Mydad will be leaving tomorrow we have had such a wonderful visit. I always have a hard time on the day that he leaves I have actually cried a couple of times just thinking about his departure. I even think back to less than a year ago he was dying and it looked like he would dnever be able to make this trip. Now he is so full of life he has helped me take out a old stove,fixed my back door,played numerous games of catch and soccer with my kids,taken down a microwave, He even went inside this bowl thing at the park that the kids skate board in he is so full of life how wonderful it is to see that. I love my dad so much and I hate to see him leave but I am so thankful that I got to see him again and have fun with him. Life is so short we never know what tomorrow will bring.

Well since my dad has been here I celebrated my 37th birthday and he celebrated his 67th birthday we had a great time. We went down to the park with a bunch of our friends and we celebrated life. I have the cutest daughter. For my birthday she purchased a Old Navy gift card for me for 25.00 dollars. She even gave it to me a day early so I could go shopping with it for my birthday. Here they are they are so cute. I hope you all have a blessed weekend

DESPERATE MOMMY

2006-09-14T08:52:00.000-07:00
Help I need some mommy advice. I have a four year old who is so disobedient I have honestly been around a million children and I have never experienced the things that he does. He will not listen to me for anything I can spank him pray with him and tell him to go to his room or to just sit on the couch he will run from me and scream at the top of his lungs at me I hate you you are stupid dumb idiot he will yell I am not listening to you. He punches me and hits me the other day he kicked me right in the face while I was discipline him.
He punches his siblings he hits the wall he throws him self down and he will run out side from me or down the street. I am so desperate for some help if I was not a Christian he would be a some kind of drugs to calm him down and make my life easier. I have to say that I am really nervous about throwing my self out their sharing such intimate problems about my child so please be nice to be on the advice but please help me I am desperate. I know what God word says about spanking him I have no problem doing that. I pray with him after wards and try to love him but at the same time it's hard too find the balance. Please be praying for me I hate the way I feel right now.

4.He is our shield of faith (Hebrews 12:2)

I no longer have high speed so blogging just isn't the same. Well it's that time of the year when Satan starts whispering in my ear. I always listen to him it's the same thing why don't you not homeschool this year it would be so much easier for you. You could spend more time doing other things and it's such a pain to get all of your curriculum together not to mention you could save a lot of money. I do not think you have to home school just because you are a Christian but for my family it's what the Lord has for us. H e has asked me to homeschool my children and when I get all got up in the hassle of it or the money than I am in sin. I am in sin because I don't have the peace that he has gave me. I also don't want to listen I want to plug my ears and pretend I don't hear him.After all that is a lot easier to ignore than to listen.
Well like I said I hate this time of the year I start questioning my self and others around me.Does this happen to anyone else. ?
So this year I am not going their I am going to trust Him with all of my heart and know that if He is asking this from me he will show me the way and also provide for me. You will even give me the extra time that it takes. As you all prepare to either get ready to homeschool or get back into school I will be praying for you. O r better yet let's all pray for each other to be listening to the Lord in whatever he is asking from us.

A LITTLE SAD TODAY.

2006-07-15T10:51:00.000-07:00
hubby and sister
Jacobs birthday with all of his cousins
Jacob turned 4 happy birthday sweetie.

The family is all gone and I have to say I am very sad. It was so nice to have them all around us we had a blast. But now the house is so quiet and I am a little depressed today for a lot of stupid reasons I thought if I shared them I would feel better. 1. We had to have are television turned off we had satellite but we are trying to cut back where we can. I know that is a stupid one we went without t.v. for three years and I surveyed but I really enjoyed the baby stories and the discovery channel.2. We are getting rid of our high speed so prolaby no more blogging for me or shopping or just browsing oh well that is another stupid thing to be depressed about. I can't go to the gym this month again trying to cut back on expenses. Maybe it's because they are all at once and I have a ton of hormones in my body right now if you know what I mean.
W ith all of that said I don't feel any better but now I will have more time to read my bible and spend time with my kids and hubby. No distractions around me just me and my family. Hey I will look at it with a different attitude jits not that we have to get rid of all of that junk it's that we get to so we can spend more time together as a family enjoying Gods love for us and reading his word.
O.k. I guess I do feel a little bit better now hope you all have a wonderful weekend enjoying your family.

My house is about to become hotel central. Yes their is going to be 15 kids and 11 adults all under one roof. We are going to have our first annual family reunion. A lot of the aunts and uncles have never even seen my kids and my husband and I have not seen all of their kids. It is going to be one big slumber party. If you have any suggestions please send them my way. This is the first time I have never hosted something this big. We are all so excited to be able to do this and to be able to see my husband's sisters and nieces and nephews.
My husband has four sisters and I find it sad that they are not closer but with kids and expenses it has taken a long time to be able to do this. My biggest concern is how do you all take showers we have two showers and two bathrooms. Scary if you ask me that is a lot of showers How do you cook for that many people. So please keep us in your prayers and if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Spoiled little brat.

2006-06-30T06:36:00.000-07:00

This has been an incredible month.First my dad is completely healed of all of his horrible cancer. My husband quit his job based only on the direction the good Lord had for him. All of these changes in our lives and I am still a spoiled little brat. My husband has quit his job to be able to eventually buy our friends business. So here we are he has quit his job and now he is working for our friend he is training him so that he will be able to run this business. So on Wednesday we start out the morning looking at banks and interest rates. Well by the end of the day I was mad frustrated disappointed confused and angry. Why because things were not going my way.The bank wants this and the mortgage company says you did all of it backwards you should have stayed at your job. And on and jon everyone we turn people want money something we don't have right now. I was so angry not at me or hubby but at God yes my Lord and Savior the one we has blessed me so many times just in this month alone. I was like what are you thinking this is never going to work hello where are you? I was so angry that I did not or could not worship him that night at bible study.
So here I am sitting kind of listening to the study and than this still small voice says you should listen to this. I am still not even sure where we were at in the bible but the one thing that I heard so loud and clear is that I am spoiled and you expect it because I want it. OUCH big spanking I was like A spoiled child wanting my way. I threw God out completely and was not even trusting him even though I said it over and over again in my head it was not in my heart. God is so good He was gentle in my spanking and he gave me a really cool verse. Romans 12
Serving the Lord rejoicing in hope patient in tribulation continuing steadfastly in prayer.I need to be patient he has it no matter what happens He has it. I need to wait on him and continue to serve Him resting in his arms laying at his feet.
Have a great weekend resting in your Fathers arms.

IF GOD BE FOR US,WHO CAN BE against US. ROMANS 8:31

2006-06-02T07:04:00.000-07:00

Good morning ladies,
Today is Friday I came across this verse in my quiet time this morning and thought I would share it with all of you. This verse literally reads that since God is for us who can be against us. As humans who have the tendencies to think that God is disappointed with us.Not true God is for you and he's for me.God views his people very highly and loves all of you very deeply already sees the end product and we are already glorified in his eyes.
Our sin is not to big for Him we are all blow it's and we have a God who wipes away are sin and makes it as white as snow. He loves all of you unconditionally you are His daughter. I hope all of you have a blessed Friday remembering how much our Lord and Savior Loves YOU.

I have some good news my husband is going to be giving notice at work today. He has had the Lord open up some amazing doors he is going to start working for our friend he will finally be able to get off of his knees. He has arthritis so bad the last time he saw the doctor he told him he better get a secretary job.Our pastor is going to go full time at our church soon and he will take ever that business. Lots of prayers for my honey thanks,
Love,Char

Janae and Grandma
Grandpa,Janae and Jordan

me and my dad
arrived in Utah at 3:oo on Thursday.The ride was pretty fast and very comfortable.Kelly drove the whole time and her van is so comfey.No words could have ever prepared me for what I saw there sat my dad in his chair he had no hair and his skin was so yellow and he had no voice it was the saddest thing I have ever saw.My dad who can not sit still for more than 5 minutes was so liveless and all he did was sit in his chair except to eat and sometimes sit outside
with us.
My dad looked so different to me that it actually took my breath away the first time I saw him. While I was there I learned thaat he is actually having the most advance chemo that they have.I also learned that he will prolaby have radiation but that it won't help him his cancer has spread to his lungs and the tumor in his stomach has not shrunk.
My dad and I had a really good talk he told me that he beleived that Jesus is his Lord and Savior and he died for his sins. H e told me that I will see him again in heaven that he loved me and for me to please keep in touch with his wife. And to continue to grow my children the way that I am. My step mom could use prayers to as hard is this is for me it has to harder for her they have been married 21 years and she is not to healthly herself she takes care of him day and night. She has a sweet personality and heart.
I feel like my life is on hold right now and I can't make long term plans I need to be able to get to my dads when hospice comes. Please continue to pray for me and my family.Also please pray for my father in law who lives with us they found a mass in his stomach and he is having a catscan done on Thursday. God bless all of you.

Hi ladies,
I am having a hard day. My dad went in for a cat scan yesterday and the doctor called him immediately after he got home. They told him that his chest was so full of blood clots that he needed a blood transfusion immediatley.It feels like to me that he is getting worse that every day something else is happening with his body.We found out he had cancer a day before Thanksgiving and it has been down hill from there.He was diagnosed with stage 5 and he has tumors all over his body. I want to go see him but it is not that easy hate to fly so I would drive it would only be about 16 hours here is where it gets tricky.First our car is not in the best of shape fro me to take it out of state so I would have to rent a car and than gas money and time off for my husband because I really don't want to be their alone.Please pray for me to know when to go and how I am going to get there. Please pray for my dad that he will be surrounded by CHRISTIANS I don't think he is saved. Thanks ladies.

His blessings

2006-04-03T10:35:00.000-07:00

Well it seems like forever since I have been on here.Friday I took my son shopping to the mall.We were looking for green low tops for his birthday.After endless hours of looking we found his tops at Ross for 12.00 dollars yes I said 12 bucks. That was so great of God The others one we looked at were 40 and 45 bucks. That was a fun day I can hardley believe my oldest is going to be 10 on April 4 . I can't believe he is hitting the double digits.

On Saturday a bunch of us from our fellowship went out to the local Laundromat and passed out food to homeless people and people who just needed it. That was the best blessing ever God gave us just the right amount of food that we needed for them.It sure opened my eyes to how blessed I truly am. my Lord loves me so much and He loves them so much. I got to be used my my Lord several times I got to pray with these people they all prayed for other people in there families.They are homeless alcoholic depressed people and their eyes where on other people.That made me cry . I am so focused on myself and I don't even know what goes on in other peoples lives all I do is focus on my wants like I want a new van I want new furniture I want I want that's about all that is in my vocabulry.Instead on getting my knees and thanking my Lord Jesus Christ for what He has given me.I am so selfish it makes me ill.
Hope you all have a day that is a blessing to others look around your community see where God would have you serve. There is so many opportunitys. Ex: Your local pregnancy center, history center,homeless shelters. soup kitchens. parks are a great place to start our park has a skate park during the summer sometimes we will go out their and pass out soda and just hang jout with them.

exploding volcano

2006-03-29T08:00:00.000-08:00

warning if you have a weak stomach do not read any further God has such a funny personality it all started on Saturday. Our church has a monthly fellowship night were a couple of houses host a evening at their house. It was to start at 6:00p.m..We got are house spick and span you could have eaten off of the floors. At exactly 5:40 my three year old announces mommy my tummy ouchie. So I proceed to go upstairs to check on him at exactley 5:45 his volcano explodes all over the floor he barfed all over himself the floor and his baby brother. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen puke everywhere. My baby tried to crawl away and he kept on slipping in it. Are you all grossed out now sorry.
Here is the lesson I was taught through this horrible thing on top of all of that my daughter had a asthma attack at her soccer game and almost passed out. So this was the icing on the cake. I have been going through Martha and Mary study and how I want to be more like Mary funny thing about all of this is I had just prayed with all of the ladies who were hosting at their house for us to have hearts like Mary.Now I had barf all over my house at people arriving in five minutes ha ha ha. The nigh turned out ok everyone still came and we had a great time.Jacob did not barf again thank you Jesus.
So God showed me to have a happy heart and enjoy my guest and not to worry about the house being cleaned.Just open my heart to them and serve them.

2006-03-22T07:39:00.000-08:00
I never realized how excited I would be to see these magic words in my school book.You are two thirds done yes yes there is a light at the end of the tunnel.I can't beleive it school is almost over I figured it out that if I push it we will be done in the begining of May yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Life is so funny after I got all excited I started thinking of so much stuff like oh no I have to teach Janae how to say all of the words in the english dictionary.And Jordan has to always remember to put a capital at the begining of a sentence and so on and so on.
What I should be concentrating on is do my children really truly love the Lord.Do they have a personaly relationship with Him.Is He their all and all. It truly really dosen't matter if Janae can say all of her letters perfect it does matter that she knows her Lord is perfect.He loves them no matter what they have done or will do. Hope you all have a great day and remember Jesus loves you right where you are.

You would never know that spring is in the air it snowed all night and we awoke to this beautiful scene in my back yard.I have been praying and really hoping that my Monday will be a good one not as hectic as the other ones. What did every one do this weekend anything exciting.?My weekend was very calm we celebrated my brother in laws birthday Friday night that was fun there were no kids there.Saturday we had friends over for lasagna we watched my honeys video on Mississippi.
Well I did it I joined the gym it has been a lot of fun.We have a gym here in town that you has a all girls room with bikes treadmill and other equipment.It has equipment that you do in reps and it is from the local curves.So that is a lot of fun I do that 2-3x and than I do 20 minutes of cardio.So please hold me accountable to it my blood preasure has been getting up there and I know diet and excerise will help.
Tonight I start the young woman's bible study I am so excited I love that age of girls they are so much fun,at this moment I only have one girl I really want some more to come so they can encourage each other with all that they go throught at this age.Our first study is on Mary and Martha we are going to I make devotionals and talk about the verse in Romans 12:1. I am so excited for tonight please keep me and the girls in your prayers.

2006-03-13T10:37:00.000-08:00

It is so nice to have my best friend home.He had a great time in Mississippi it was also a sad time there is so much to be done.He actually told me that he would love to stay a month if he didn't have his family.so that tells me that we will prolaby do some missionary work as a family.Beacause he can never leave again.Actually it wasn't that bad I told him he could go again in a year or so.
We spent our weekend relaxing and watching movies.Except Sunday we had a total of 9 adults and 18 kids over now that is a full house.It was fun but challenging.We are back on track again with school. Same old Monday blah.
Have a great Monday

My first night alone ever.............

2006-03-06T16:05:00.000-08:00

Since my husband is away I spent the night alonefor the first time ever.This may sound really silly to some of you but for me I have never been alone.Sure my kids are here but it is not the same.When he first pulled out of the driveway for a split second I thought how wonderful it would be not to have any kids.I could go to a hotel or go away by myself.Than reality hit me when my toddler yelld I have to go to the bathroom.Than I thought about the aloness again and realized I wouln't have it any other way kids and all.
So my first night was not to bad I slept o.k. but not great.I did watch a lot of t.v. and I mean alot of it.There is such smut out there I really had to refrain myself from not watching it.The first show that I wanted to watch that looked very entertaining was about a much of girls liking girls sick.The second show was about spoiled rich girls having their daddys pay for what ever they want.Then a commerical came on last night let me tell you it was not that late and it was a nasty girl commerical.I was in shockI don't know why I was in such a shock being as I know how the world is.
Just be careful of the times you let your children watch television.I know most of you out there don't have t.v. we did not have it for three years and now we have cable.There is some really good shows out there it is a bummer that the bad shows have to ruin it for the good ones.
Well hopefully tonight I will sleep better and not have to watch t.v. at all.

I talked to Steve tonight he is doing well.Mississippi still has a lot of damage not much has been done even though it has been six months.Keep the people of Baycity in your prayers please.
Steve has a video camera with him I can't wait to see the footage but I also know that it will be sad.
God Bless,Char

Why did I do that.?

2006-02-20T21:25:00.000-08:00
ok don't laugh to hard. very painful

I have to ask myself that question especially today.It all started on Saturday night I am getting ready for the church dinner.I was doing my hair and looking at my face I said to myself,self you have some major bushy eyebrows going on they look like one giant eyebrow.So I start to pluck and it is taking for ever how can I possibly speed this up.So here goes the stupid part I decide to use nair on my eye brows.I think why not I have heard of people using it on their backs and bikini area not much of a difference right WRONG.I got a chemical burn from it.And thats not all I also thought I could use it on my lip WRONG again I also got a chemical burn there too.Ok so I wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. Please be kind with comments I already feel really silly.If you have ever asked your self why did I do that please let me know after all it is getting funnier each day I'm not in pain.
Here are some pictures just to show how stupid that really was.
