Breakfast with Brianne

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about how my best friend, Brianne, called me up this morning and invited me to lunch. She said it was my pick. You know where I wanted to go? Denny's!!! I know, cheesy. But.. they are the only ones who have my Moons Over My Hammy breakfast meal. I just dip it in Tabasco sauce. sooooo yummy! I've tried getting the same meal at Cracker Barrell. They just don't make it nearly as good. Well, anyhow it was a fun time all by ourselves. But just so you are not fooled into thinking Brianne is always so much calmer than me... just see for yourself.

Before Coffee:

After Coffee


No, she didn't pose for that. That's just her normal self. Hee, hee, hee, heee...... (oh, man. She's gonna kill me.)

Marriage Seminar

The marriage seminar was awesome! Unfortunately we couldn't make it to the morning seminars today but we got to go last night and it was great! The seminar was about neglect. About how it's more women by far than men who file for divorce. This part was the part that shocked me. Majority of the reason was not because of money, infidelity, abuse... but because of neglect. That surprised me. He spoke about a lot but the part that really stood out to me was how men can be doing everything right, preaching all over and being busy with the work of God, but then neglect their family. God does not honor that. There was so much he spoke about that was so helpful, I wish I could've gone the next day. I didn't really want to stay in those rooms since we have our own resort (where we own some property) that we could stay at. But it was too much driving so we just went home after the seminar! :) Not before we had fun with our friends though. :) Friends I love very much! We go way back. After the seminar Kevin and Terry (forgive me if I spell your names wrong guys!) met us at 5&Diner and we had a fun time visiting. I took some pictures of my friends that are also friends of my sister, Jodee. So, these picture are for her. I couldn't get everyone because I could only talk to so many before people left. It's so hard not to sit and talk to everyone all night! :)
Say hello to Shannon and James! (You guys are so funny!)Then to Mark and Kim. Their little girl looks so cute in the 3D ultrasound! Then Kevin and Terry. Sorry Kevin for catching you by surprise in that picture! We had a fun time. :) Then Carolyn and Tom.

...And of course..

...And of course, here is Keith and Roxanne. I always love talking with you guys. Roxanne and I share the love of pink. :)













Then Kathy! Troy, sorry I didn't get you in the picture. What was wrong with me? I talked to you guys so long and then forgot to get a pic.

A Day for Chaz

We had a fun time with Chaz yesterday. We kept it private for his birthday and kept it small. We all just hung out at the mall, let them play, went back home later and had the cake, and had him open his present. I purposely got him only one gift since his grandparents got them all bikes! Some years I want to have little parties and some year big parties just to mix it up and so they won't expect a big party and tons of presents every year. It was a sweet time we had together yesterday. :)

Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things I love about church



1. I love Praise and Worship. It's my favorite part! Whether I'm singing on stage, or singing at my chair, I love to sing songs praising God.

2. I love walking in and saying hello to someone new. They light up when you take the time of day to make them feel important. The smile in return that you get even though they are unfamiliar with the place is worth it.

3. I love meeting other moms and getting to know them while I am volunteering for nursery duty. I love the little babies!

4. I love talking to people who I otherwise might not call during the week because I am busy with my own tasks. I love how even though it's been a few days since I said hi to a friend, it feels as if we just talked yesterday. There is a bond with people you worship with.

5. I love how the church isn't so big that I feel swallowed up by the crowd. Everybody knows each other and it's wonderful to even know all their kids by name! It feels like family. Even closer sometimes.

6. I love the convicting sermons and I love the call to repentance. I love being able have that time to examine my life to see where I need to work on things.

7. I love hearing about a passage in the bible that I might not of picked up on before and truly understood. I love that the pastor has devoted his life to knowing the word of God so he can share it with us.

8. I love reading my own bible throughout the week and bringing it to church to write in things I had not understood before.

9. I love looking over to see my sons quietly sitting in the pew looking at his own bible even though they cannot read yet.

10. I love watching my sons clap their hands, sing, and raise their hands up when we are having worship time.

11. I love it when my boys lean over during the alter call and tell me that they need to go up and pray that God will help them to be good and listen.

12. I love having people who care about me and people I can be held accountable to who can speak direction into my life even though it's hard to accept at times.

13. I so much love having a pastor that loves me enough to tell me when I am heading down the wrong path and I love having a church who's vision is to send out new works all over the state and into the world to start new churches even though it's hard work. It reminds me of the song "If we are the body" by Casting Crowns. Truly living as disciples of Christ. Reaching out to souls. :)

Thank you for reading my 13 things for this week!!!

Happy 6th Birthday, Chaz!

Click here to view Chaz's slideshow!


Happy 6th birthday to my son Chaz! He is the light of my life, my first born, my beginnings into motherhood. He is the one who introduced me to a whole new world, the one who got me accepted into the "mommy club". He has taught me so much about patience, wisdom, laughter, appreciation, and how to stop and smell the roses lest become a man standing before me too quickly. Chaz is my little hero for everything he has gone through in the last year. For a little kid, he went through so much. He switched 3 schools in 1 year. By being diagnosed with Aspergers this past year, (a much smaller form of Autism), he has taught me that it doesn't matter what doctors say, he can rise above and surprise everyone. He has taught me empathy. I know that Aspergers has it's downfalls, but the doctors say it can also be a gift. I will take that and run with it. Chaz is a smart cookie and I know if he has the right teachers, he will climb the mountain and have victory! Chaz, I love you with all of my heart, I wouldn't trade you for the world, for money, for anything. Staying home with you in these past 6 years has been worth it times a million. Happy Birthday!!!

Featured Song

*This is my pastor preaching following immediately after a wedding. The couple wanted their unsaved family to hear the gospel.

This song called "If We Are the Body" by Casting Crowns really speaks to me. I first heard it when our church was showing all the missionary works our church and fellowships sent out. I love the focus that is there. I'm so happy that the money doesn't go towards a big massive, beautiful church building or hundreds of programs. Instead, the money goes towards sending new works into the nations of the earth or here in the states. Our church just sent another couple to Bombay, India. We've sent out others. Whether you are a missionary, a pastor, or a disciple of Christ, this song would touch you because that is where our hearts are. Not in how much money we can make, or the best clothes we can have, or the best house. The bible says "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also". This song spoke to me because sometimes it's not good enough to just sit back and hope to be a light to others. I am so happy that someone came to my husband's door before we met and shared with him God's love and of the need to repent. He gave his life to Christ and a little later we met. I would've only married someone who loves Christ so what would've happened if no one came to his door? I wouldn't have this sweet family. :)When Jesus was leaving his disciples, he said "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature". Not just to hope that people know you're a Christian. Tell everyone about Jesus! Your coworkers, your spouse, your family, your friends, strangers, anyone! Whether you're on the phone, standing in line at the store, or anywhere. Jesus loves them and they need to know too. :)

Family Night

This is really cute. We were trying to go get the boys game fixed in time for Chaz's birthday and hopefully buy him a toy gun. After Charles got off work late, we headed out. Well, of course we went to Fry's Electronics because it's our favorite place. I love gadgets!!! We combined getting parts with having a family night. Well, we spotted Madagascar and we all sat and watched a clip of it. I thought it was funny how the kids were all relaxing right there in the isle and people are walking by. I never found the part for their Super Nintendo but they already have an Xbox so they'll just have to wait. By the time we goofed off, the store was closing so we couldn't run through to find him a cool gun. We'll have to sneak to the store tonight before his birthday tomorrow! For you worried moms out there, don't worry about my kids having too many games. They have an alloted time every day they each get and then they are done. Only 1 hour a piece when school starts again. We are just gamers around here so we tend to have those around. Including me. I have a Nintendo and Charles has gaming nights with his friends on his computer. :) Anyhow, here's a cute video.

Tackle It Tuesday 8-01-06

Okay, this is a little late in coming, but last week I had actually accomplished two huge tasks so I have to share this one with you since I didn't get a chance. Well, I've never been truly "caught up" with my laundry. With a family of six (I know it's not a lot) I kept falling a little bit further behind. Before I knew it, I had a lot of clothes to wash. Since I didn't think to take a picture ahead of time. You'll just have to see a picture of my precious Super Capacity Whirlpool top of the line washer and dryer set. I say that with a lot of affection. It was actually a pleasure doing business with them. Anyhow, I washed over 35 loads of laundry so I stayed up doing it till midnight every night for a week. By the time we put the last load in, Charles and I celebrated. I was truly "caught up". Not one more thing to wash. I'm so proud. It was not an easy task by anymeans and my back hurt, but I am officially a free woman from the Laundry Demon. Tell me your story!

Charles and Virginia

So, on Saturday we will officially be married for 7 years and 8 months. Okay, I know it's weird to track the months but I can't help myself!

McDonalds Again!

This is an awesome McDonalds! We love it here by our favorite mall. It has dinosaurs like this all over in the play area.
Ivy being sooo cute!
Afterwards we headed to Borders next door, my family loves to sit and read.

Funny Video

This video is funny. Charles and I were sitting at McDonalds and Charles kept taking little videos. You can't hear what I am saying but I start talking about how I'm gonna win the diet contest. I've lost 6 out of the 10 lbs so far. Then I turn to the worker walking past me and ask if the Big Mac he was delivering was for me. LOL! Just joking. He then asks to see the video and laughs about it. We all got a good giggle out of it. Here I'm talking about a diet and then I stare at the Big Mac. Hee, hee....

Congrats Joseph and Rachel!

Would you believe it was their first kiss... with anybody?! Awesome! What a great way to start a marriage. :)

Romans 6:23

Click on picture if you need view it a little bigger.
Isn't this a great cartoon? I love it! It's a bill of sins and what it comes to in the end. But Jesus said "I'll get this one". He paid the bill for us. With his own blood. Today I have just been in awe of God's mercy. I don't know why I've been thinking about it so much today, but I have. I used to be confused about God's love. Not really understanding Him. It amazes me that no matter what I've done, God could really forgive my sins and wash me white as snow. He casts them into the sea of forgetfulness. As if they never were. The bible even says that God is married to the backslider. Someone who has turned away from God. If God can do that much for me, why can't I do that for others? Why can't I forgive and forget? I can! I've learned what keeps me full of joy, is the act of forgiving others. Not just forgiving, but letting it go. Not reminding them of what they did to me. Just letting go and loving them. Be it a spouse, a friend, or a family member, or even a stranger. Sometimes we forget that God loves even the one we might despise. If God can forgive them, then why can't I? Some things are just not worth holding on to. I've come to terms that no matter a short or how long my life will be, there will be someone that offends me or even betrays me. Once you learn that, you don't feel like the whole world is out to get you! I once had a pastor who told me, "Where there is people, there is problems." You can't have them separately. I thank God, that he has forgiven me, and I in turn can learn to forgive others. Not just to forgive, but to even love them. God is so good. You might even be thinking, "well, how could God forgive what I have done?" Did you know that in Proverbs 6:16-19 it says "These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren."
Wow! Some things we would think are small, are listed next to murderers! That means, though I may not have committed "huge" sins, I need God's forgiveness just the same. I thank Him that he did just that. :)

The Best Camping Trip Ever

Hey guys, someone asked me a neat question. They asked me "What was your best camping trip ever?" I answered it here on my FAQQLY site. I had a pretty neat experience. I wish I had pictures to share but I don't have a scanner yet. I will eventually!

Messy cake!

This is just a little cute video of me and my mother-in-law cleaning off Ivy after she ate her cake. So cute!

Sleep Talk

My husband came to bed late last night because he was playing a game and I grew tired of watching him. So, when he came to bed later he laid crooked on the bed. Then knocking off my pillows on accident. He said I got really frustrated and got up and stood on the side of the bed. I told him, "Charles, you are laying crooked on the bed! Come on! Scoot over!...This is America, you know!" Then when he straightened himself, I laid back down and went to sleep. He was laughing about it this morning. I remember saying that, but it sounded more ridiculous later. Hee, hee...

End Is Near!

(Chuckle) This is funny!...

The Times

You know, this is a touchy subject. I know it is and it opens up a can of worms. But I think people aren't being told the truth. What would you say if someone told you that little kids were being TAUGHT to hate others? That everyday they go to school they have to chant "I hate America and I hate Jews". Would you believe that? You're probably thinking, "that's not possible". Believe it or not, there are schools in others countries that are being taught this. If all you do is listen to your local channel stations, they would never dare tell you that this is going on which is why so many kids in these countries grow up hating America and hating Jews.





***The bible says that there will come a day when they will kill and THINK they are doing God a favor. As crazy as that sounds, that is what is going on as I write this. People bombing each other. Some for their religion and some for retaliation. Killing yourself as you kill others does not do God a favor. They keep trying to tell us, "We are a peaceful religion, those people are just crazy that do the killing." Don't fall for that. All you have to do is read their bible. Islam is NOT a peaceful religion! Anyone that has read their bible will know that. I have this great book that is only $5 online that you can read. It will actually show you passages out of their bible that teach this stuff. Once you read this, you will understand. This is not a hate email by any means. Just like God doesn't hate the sinner but He hates the sin. I only am writing so that you will have knowledge of the truth.

Bible Reading

*Here is a really cute picture of Ivy at Chuck E. Cheese.

I had an awesome and relaxing morning. I learned something in my bible that I never knew. Now, I grew up in church but what I read today was totally new to me. I read the whole book of Nahum (which is a short book) and I did not know that Ninevah eventually would be destroyed. 100 years earlier they had repented when Jonah came to give a message from God to repent. They did repent but soon turned back to their old ways. Here I've heard the story about "Jonah and the whale" all my life and never knew the extended version. Yup. My news of the day.

Blogging chick!

Okay, I am officially a blogging chick. Just so you know! I joined the crew.

Thirteen Things I love about Having Children


1. I love wondering whether I have a boy or girl in my tummy and what they are gonna look like.

2. I love my plush hospital and I love the labor and birthing process. I love the prize at the end! I love how God made doctors who can give medicine to reduce the pain. So nice... Luke in the bible was a doctor!

3. I love snuggling a little baby up to my cheek and holding their little hands.

4. I love seeing how a masculine man like my husband can not care who is around him while he smiles and talks to his little baby.

5. I love how everyday is so different I never know what's going to happen or where we are gonna go. Or what cute thing my kids are going to say that day that I can share with others.

6. I love walking in on the boys when they are doing a loving act towards their brother by either sharing, or kissing their ouchy, or teaching them what's right.

7. I love how when I load the kids in the car, Ryan's job is to buckle in his brother before he buckles himself. He is learning how to take care of someone before himself. Once Ivy is old enough, Chaz will buckle her in.

8. I love how when we go places, people stop and ask, "Are they ALL yours? How old are you?" I love being a young mom and not following the trends of the day. I love how because I'm so young, I can always choose to have more later.

9. I love how when we go to a restaurant, someone always comes up and compliments the kids behavior. It makes me feel like all our hard work is paying off and we're doing something right. :)

10. I love how every day of taking care of my family, sheds out one more strip of selfishness from my body.

11. I love how much my children have taught me to depend on God. Without God, I would not have the strength to take care of 4 children under 5 years old.

12. I love it when I ask the kids a bible story and they tell me exactly how the story goes and corrects me if I mess up on one detail. More than anything, I want them to know how much God loves them.

13. Most of all, I love how I thought I'd never want any kids until I had one. Then I just couldn't stop. I love being an example to others. I love it when other moms come up to me for advice. I love how no matter what the world says, the bible backs me up completely, no matter how many children I have. They are a gift from God. :)

Biggest Loser Part 4

I know you guys think I forgot. Well, let me tell you I haven't forgotten that I am in a weight loss contest. I have to say though that when I was at 147, on my own I decided to lose weight. When I got down to 142, that's when I started the contest to lose 10 more pounds. Well, I am now at 137 which means I have lost 5 lbs since the contest started and I have 5 more lbs to go. Not bad! I've actually lost 10 lbs since I started on my own. This is awesome! I can't wait to be 130 again. I mean, look how nice and skinny my face is here on our wedding! That would be nice. I just can never be 19 again. Then again, I also weighed at the tops 120 lbs here. So, maybe my face will never get this skinny. Close enough is good enough for me! I was a size 3 there in clothes. Sheesh-la-weezers.

Tackle It Tuesday 7-25-06

Okay, I hope this counts, but to me it does. I have been having some phone calls to make that I have been dreading. I'm telling you, I hate the phone. I have a hard time answering it when it rings. I hate making phone calls. So, if you will accept this as a Tackle-It-Tuesday, I would be so happy. This is the yucky stuff I had to take care of. Actually, this includes, paying bills online, faxing information to companies, AND making phone calls. Ugh....

Call the school and set up the registration process for my second son who will be starting Kindergarten this year. Also, to set up the meeting the teachers are going to have about my first son since he will be starting his special needs school (which will be at a different location).

Fax information to reinstate my health insurance.

Harrassed another lady at our old bank who refuses to call me back. Not REALLY harrass. I leave about 2-3 messages for her every day and she still won't call me back. What a stinker.

Checked my electricity bill online

Checked my gas bill online (took forever!) Some places make it so hard to find out the simplest thing. Since they can't torture on the phone by placing you on hold for 30 hours, they just make you jump through hoops to view your bill online.

Checked my bank account information online so I can pay some bills. Whoo-wee. I'm excited.

You see?! That took me 2 1/2 hours believe it for not. You want to guess why? Because I also have to take care of my four kids. I can't just shut them in the room and tell them to behave like adults. I have to care for my little pumpkins. So, all said and done. Can anyone else relate to this?

Our New House!

Congrats to Me!!! Our new house is all ready. Lorraine, (my mortgage lady) we give up!! We were weary of waiting so we decided to go out and just purchase a house for ourselves. It's one bedroom (one room for that matter), outdoor plumbing, Nice little kitchenette, solid roof, many windows, tile flooring, microwave included! We bought it for a steal at only $300! 0% interest rate. Man, you were right, Lorraine, when you said the prices were gonna start dropping. That's amazing. Here's a great picture. We're so proud. Hee, hee...

Found My Bible!

This week we have revival so on the way to church, my husband had set my makeup bag and my bible on top of the van while he loaded the kids. Since he set it up there, I just got in the van figuring he was gonna take it back off the roof and put it in the van. Well, we hop on the freeway and get to church. I reach for my bible and it's not there! I then got really quiet and said.... "Charles, where is my bible?" He said, "didn't you get it off the van?" I said.. "No"... uh oh.. I knew it was lost. My beloved bible. I had almost read it all the way through and it had my markings all in it of what I've read and notes to my children for when they get older. I was so sad! Not only that, I had very expensive make up, all of it, in that one bag. I was sad through church and tried not to think about it so I could concentrate. All I could think about was how I wouldn't be able to get up in the morning and study out of my own bible. It's not the same to study out of my husband's. It was... you know.. my own personalized bible. Anyway, I'm sure bible readers totally understand! After church, we drove home. As we pulled up, I mentioned to Charles that we hadn't looked for my bible. Maybe by some chance, it's on the side of the road with my make up bag. We drove all the way to the freeway and didn't see it. I suggested that we just go home because it would've fallen off by now. He said, he believed it would've fallen off on the freeway because of the force of the air. I didn't believe him. Within a mile of driving on the freeway we spotted it on the side of the road!! YEAH!!! We couldn't believe it! We pulled over in the rain and I jumped out. There it was! The bible case was all torn up and soaked but my bible was fine! I'm letting it dry out right now because the cover and outer pages are wet. My make up bag and make up were all smashed and thrown everywhere. I could care less! I told Charles, forget about the make-up. Lets just go. I didn't want to risk being on the freeway much longer. We figured that my new bible cover (so beautiful) protected my bible from getting smashed and ripped up. Although I adored my bible cover so much, it was worth losing because it saved my bible. In the picture my bible covers are broken off but actually the right side was already broken off so now the left side is even! What a blessing that we had been driving on the right side of the freeway so it had fell out of the way of traffic. Praise God!

Kisses

This is so cute! Ivy wanted a drink of her daddy's soda so she kept giving him kisses to get more. Sorry, the quality is so bad. But it is so cute to see!

Birthday Dress

Ivy's Party!

Click here to view slideshow of Ivy's party!

We had a wonderful party for Ivy's first birthday yesterday but I wanted to keep it short and sweet. People were asking if they could come but I said I just wanted to keep it small with family. I will be having a bigger party for the boys because it's their turn this year. They switch off. Next year will be Ivy's big birthday bash. Ivy was so bored because she didn't have any toys to play with. You should've seen Charles and I in Target trying to pick out her gift. Charles wanted to get her a doll, because every girl needs one, and I wanted to get her this pink truck to ride on. Well, the truck won because we figured she'd get at least one dolly for her birthday and she did. Ivy broke down a couple of times because she was tired so it was a little tough at first but then she lightened up when she could walk around with her toys. She is loving them!!! When I tried to put her to bed last night, she cried when she saw me putting her toys away. As soon as she woke up today, she went right for her stroller and shopping cart. So cute! Boy, I sure love have both boys and a girl. So much fun and never a dull moment!

Answered Prayer

I didn't get a chance to tell you about my miracle yesterday. Okay, both our van and our car needed fixing but since we are trying to get a house right now, our funds have been kind of tight. Our van just shut off on me one day while I was driving. So that one was broken down. Then we have been riding in our Toyota (car) in the meantime but our radiator is out on it and it hurts the car to drive it like that. So, yesterday when I was praying and reading my bible, I prayed for a miracle. We couldn't afford to take it in a shop to get a diagnoses and then pay to get it fixed also. I just prayed that somehow we would be able to get our van and our car fixed. It had been sitting there for a couple of weeks. I was in the middle of mopping my floor when my in-laws called. He is a mechanic. They just said, "We're comin' over to fix the van." That was that. They were here within 20 minutes, found out what was wrong with it, and wanted to start working on it. He told me how much the part would costs but said depending on the engine, it could take hours to work on. Turns out, everything was just right, we got the part and in no time Martin had the van up and running. You have to understand. Martin worked on it for FREE. Out of his own good heart. We only paid for the part. They asked us if we had been praying since everything was working out. In the SAME DAY, we found out that since our radiator on our car had been less than a year old, we can have a new radiator and have it replaced for free at a shop on Saturday, our car will be fixed at no charge. Praise God!!! This all happened the same day I asked for a miracle that we could get our van and our car fixed. I never imagined that same day, everything would be taken care of. Thank you God for hearing our prayers, and thank you Martin and Maureen for everything!

Cute Moments

Oh, yes! I just realized yesterday that Ivy's hair is really starting to grow!! How cute!!

Oh, yes! I just realized yesterday that Ivy's hair is really starting to grow!! How cute!!


Then... I walked in the room to catch Ivy playing her brother's XBox! We all had a good laugh on that one! (Charles' parents were over)

Ivy Walking

This is so cute. Ivy just started walking only a week ago. She was really trying here but since she kept putting her hands up like she likes to do, she kept losing her balance. Then in the end I had to rush to get something out of her mouth. Sorry the quality is low. Someday I will get a nicer camera.

Happy 1st Birthday, My Ivy Joy Marie!

*I added more pics to slideshow recently.*

View slide show of Ivy's Day of Birth Here

Happy birthday to my very first daughter. I named you after your great-grandmother Ivy May because she was such a beautiful and special person. She died at 22 and never got to see her own sons grow up but I know without a doubt that she is with Jesus now. Ivy you are my little girl. My love. I can't believe, even though I wasn't expecting you, I finally got my little girl I always dreamed of. Waited for. Thought of since my early teens. How could I be so lucky to be blessed with you? Only a gift from God above. I am honored to be your mother. I love you.

Good Morning!

This is so cute. Ivy just woke up and her hair looked a little crazy so I had to take a picture. Good Morning, Ivy!
