It's my Birthday

So it's my birthday. Another year older, but I still feel very young. My sweet husband got me a MP3 player so when I go on my walks I have something to listen to. He is so thoughtful. Jacob gave me a card that he picked out. The other kids wished me well. Cody had each of them tell me why they like me for a mother. Dylan said "My cooking", Jacob said, "I'm nice ", and Riley seconded Dylan. So I guess they like my food. It's a good thing since we don't eat out as much. It is fun to have a family and watch them grow up to fine young men.

Happy birthday to me!!!

Snow inTexas

Well like clock work it snowed in March. This time we've recieved up to 5 inches of wonderful white snow. We tried to get the kids out of bed to see the snow coming down but the we're out cold. This morning since school was delayed two hours we let the kids play, the loved every minute of it. I think Cody enjoyed it more by the time he came in it was 11 a.m. Then after school he was their to help the kids build a snow fort. I tell you he is my big kid, But I love him.

Blaze didn't like the feel of the cold snow. Just a fun day.

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.
