Do you ever have on of those days when you know the Lord is taking care of you, and don't feel you deserve it. Well we got a statment from our medical insurance saying that our premium was going up $20 a month (that $240 a year). Well $20 bucks might not seem like alot, but when the cost of everything else going up it matters. The good news is that we over paid on our escrow so our Monthly mortgage payment went down $40 and we get a big refund, almost $700. This is way I think the lord really knows our needs and is there for us, even with an increase as little as $20. I still plan to pay the my mortgage a little extra, well at least $20 and put the other $20 to medical now. Our goal this year is to be debt free. I'm sure and testify that the lord is helping us achieve that goal. Many miracles are happening so we can get there.

Busy week

So its only wedsenday but I've been so busy. Monday I attended the funeral for the Westovers and shopping, Tuesday did my visiting teaching and cub scouts, today had pratice at the church for saturday and did some more grocery shopping. The next two days I have to clean the house to have a Birthday Party for my parents.Saturday will be a marathon at our home. My Mom and Dad will be in town, Jacob has soccer pratice from 10:30 to 12, Dylan has a scout thing from 1-3, I have to be at the church at 12 to 5p.m. .On top that a party at my house at 6p.m. Lets say as much fun that we will have I will be thankful when it is over. Not to mention that my poor husband has to do all the carpooling and giving me Blaze when he is hungry because he will not take the bottle. Good thing all this takes place in Allen, well soccer in Mckinney but close enough to the stake center.
Look forward to all your smiling faces on Saturday at 2p.m. It is a wonderful program with a great message.

This is Blaze and his Daddy taking a bath. He always gets excited to take a bath, his nightly routine.

Some sad news. Brother Westover passed away today. When I think of this it makes me realize how important family truly is. I'm so thankful for the gospel in my life that it has given me guidance and keeps me on a straight course. My prays are with the Westover family. They are wonderful people.
Cody and I we're talking about this. Some times it is good to know what the other one would do if tragedy took place. Cody always jokes that I would party because of the insurance money. In truth I don't know how I could make it through the day without hearing his voice on the other end of the phone. He is the one I go to for everything. He is my best friend. But also to know that we will see our loved ones again is the greatest blessing the lord has given us. So say a prayer for the Westover family, and Donna, because she has lost her friend and companion.

Valentines

Sunday night the family made valentine cookies. Dad took a nap with Blaze. We had lots of fun. I just wonder if those sprinkles will ever disappear from the floor. I have to admit I love sugar cookies. And Valentines, with the pink, whtie and red colors. So the kids get to take a cookie to school, and I try my hardest not to eat to many. I wish I had pictures, but it was a nice evening.

With every thing going on in my life I find it hard to find time for myself. Having a baby and then taking Jacob out of school to teach him has thrown me a curve. The one thing that has given me comfort is that I get to perform the play the "Ten Virgins" for the upcoming Relief Society conference. I so enjoy singing and performing. It is my one outlet. It reminds me of my High school days. Those we're fun times for me. I did so much performing and traveling. I kind of miss it. I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I have been blessed with a great spouse and four amazing children. I just need to find the me time in between.

I go out for a girls night out. This is what I find that the boys we're up to. Yes they are feeding Blaze an apple. Like he has any teeth to chew. I did have a nice evening out with the ladies in my ward. Yummy Chocolate!!! I'm thankful that the boys and Cody look after each other and have lots of fun.
