The Shopping Trip

Man! I have to get my computer fixed, Mom always beats me to posting the fun stuff. And she always does it better than me.

The shopping trip was absolutely awesome, exhausting, but awesome! I had taken 4 of the girls to see the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, good movie I thought and then we decided we needed to go shopping. I had a lot of people tell me I was crazy and after the shopping trip I think they're right. The craziest thing is I would do it again in a heart beat, next time Renee needs to stay longer. I believe we all had a blast. I had taken 2 of the entire group shopping a few weeks before because they didn't think they would be able to go, well I got in major trouble because I didn't buy anything for me only for my kids. Well this time I wasn't going to get in trouble especially since they had told the rest of the group to make sure I bought something for me. I love the back to school sales, I got a Black cute little shirt for $10 and a pair of kahki capris for $12.99. Sales are good. Julie and I even joined in on the whole dress thing we had fun trying on the dresses but learned that 2 kids really do a thing to your figure. I was about an hour late for my bible study which I took the girls with me but still my husband kept calling, "Do you know what time it is?", "Where are you?", and my favorite "Do you realize that everyone is waiting on you?". I didn't realize that when I got married I got another father. No just kidding, even though I do seem to get grounded everytime I am out with these girls. :) :) :)
RC and the boys got some really great bonding time. They spent most of Sunday just the three of them. They played and played and I think RC was just as tired as I was.

Well anyways I'll write more later Love you all

PS: RC says thank you to the girls because they cured my wanting a girl of my own. I love the girls to death but I realized boys are less dramatic. I do mean the drama in a good way but there is enough drama in me for my husband to deal with he doesn't need any more!

Just a Quick Hello

Hey all, don't have a whole lot of time. Busy weekend planned. Going to RC's cousins going away party tomorrow. (3 hour trip) He is going into the Navy, so please keep Japheth in prayers. Then Saturday we are hoping to go take dinner to a friend who is being induced today. Another prayer request, Rosie and Russell. Then Sunday while the boys have a boys day, my mom and I are taking some girls from church out shopping. Pray for us they are all 11 and 12. The boys are doing great. AC informed his NaNa that he didn't want to grow big because then he might scare Trace. Isn't that sweet. No Uncle Shawn that does not mean he is scared of you. RC is good looking as ever. Anyways just a quick note. I promise to write better next week. Love you all.

I didn't mean to be defensive!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to start by saying I'm sorry if I sounded defensive. I have been told by some that it sounded really defensive and none of my previous post was meant to be defensive. I write these blogs not as journaling but as a special way to keep those who I love and care about updated in my life. I have my own journal, the one I use for my quiet times that I use to journal for myself. I thank all that have responded and I will look into getting a counter because I do feel better knowing that people read this. I am glad to know that you all do care :)

AC is feeling much better. Now he and his brother are fighting over every little toy (No Grandpa I am not telling stories on your little boys!) The weekend is going to be packed. Tonight I have plans to go out, RC has a double header (softball), tomorrow RC wants to get a ride in and then we have to get him fitted for his tux (for his cousins wedding), and then we have a birthday party for our friend Donna (my parents are taking our little guys THANK YOU!), and then Sunday we have church and bible study. AC and Trace are excited to spend this afternoon with NaNa (pronounced Naw Naw, that is RC's mom) and tomorrow with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents). They will have a busy weekend as well. But I do believe we will all have a blast.

Well I will try to get by early next week to update this again, if not it will be next Friday. I love you all and ask God to bless you.

Hey Everyone!

Ok I am going to start with the fact that my computer is broken and so I can only post from my mom's house. (Yes mom I am over today just so I could watch Amber Frey: Witness for the Prosecution.) That was kind of interesting. Well anyway now that that is out of the way. I agree with mom and the comments she made about the comments. I am curious if anyone but my mother and sister in law read this because I can just as easy talk to them on the phone.

Life is good here, exhausting but good. RC is working lots of hours but that has just made our family time go from quantity time to quality time. WE both use to say oh well we can just talk tomorrow and he and I would sit on the couch watching tv instead of really talking but that has changed. He came home from Band practice last night and He had plans to chill out on our balcony just us no tv. The boys were already in bed. Because I was to the last 20 minutes of my show he instead chose to finish the movie with me and then we laid in bed and read his bicycle magazine together and then went to bed cuddling. To those who don't believe it when people say studying God's word together brings you closer I am here to tell you it really does. RC and I have an incredible marriage that is not for anyone else. It is our marriage and we are incredibly happy with it. Not everyone agrees with our arrangements but it is our unique arrangements that makes our marriage ours not the worlds. He and I have really opened up and are accepting constructive criticism from one another and we are willing to make the changes that God and one another alone ask us to make.

Well now about the boys. Cute as ever. I know I know you all are probably tired of hearing that but it is true! AC isn't feeling very well today, he is running a low grade fever. He went to play in his bedroom last night and when I hadn't heard from him for about 10 minutes (normally he is in and out of the room atleast every 2-3 minutes) I went to his room to check on him. He had climbed into his bed and was sound asleep. Poor pumpkin, He woke up just long enough to take some tylenol and tell his daddy good night. Trace was in a good mood last night. He was all about his laugh. Every time I turned around he laughed and laughed. Well I gotta go I love you all and may God bless your daily lives.
