WE ARE HAVING A HEALTHY BABY ....

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,

Char

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.

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.

Happy Birthday Janae

PSYCHO SHOPPER

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.........................

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS.........

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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESIAH

your such a two year old sneaky as ever.

happy birthday Jesiah finger licking good

I am so behind on my blog. My baby had a birthday he turned two on December 10. He was so funny he kept getting into his cake while I was making it and eating the batter he got his older brother stool and he climbed right on top of the counter. All and all he had a great birthday we went the theme of sport balls. He loves any kind of balls he can throw and catch all of them real well.

waiting on Him..

A update on Janae. We spent four days in the DENVER CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. We found out that she does not have seizures. We still do not know what is going on with her. We would love for all of you to still be praying for her. We are waiting on our Lord. To show us the way. We really need his direction to show us how he want's us to help her. We are in constant prayer for her. Thanks for all of the prayers we so appreciate them. 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

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

Pray for Canon: Update from MEME

Pray for Canon: Update from MEME

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.
If you have any prayer request please post them here and I will pray for you or if their is someone out there that needs pray please let me know. I hope you all have a great weekend..
Love,Char

Something to think about we talked about this in our bible study. If you only had three weeks to live how would you live them.?

saying goodbye is so hard.:(

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

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.

HE GUIDES OUR FEET.

Good morning,
I read this in my quiet time this morning and thought I would share it with all of you.
Before you start your day put on Jesus.

1. He is the truth ( John 14:6)
2. He is our breast plate of righteousness(Romans 13:14)
3. He guides our feet in peace (Luke 1:79)
4.He is our shield of faith (Hebrews 12:2)
5. He is the captain of our salvation(Hebrews 2:10)
6. He is the word made flesh (John 1:14)

Let him guide your feet today be in His presence. Have a great day.

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.
