The party's over :(

Well it was a crazy day (only because I had to work this morning and then rush home)!

Silver's birthday party was sooooooo awesome. I was rushing around a bit (as those of you who were here know). But I just didn't have enough time to get stuff ready. The only thing I would have done differently would be to chill with my guests a bit more. Other than that it was really cool.

Thanks so much to everyone who came. At first Silver was overwhelmed but when he got use to it he had a blast.

Emma and Silver! They both have thier princess crowns on!!

Arrrrrrgh!!

SIlver with his cake.

birthday parties are HARD!

I have been going nuts today getting ready for Silver's birthday party. In some ways it's totally fun, but in others ......it's not.

I toally slacked with some of the invites. That makes me crazy because I was totally prepared for that weeks ago but just kept forgetting to contact people.

Well I think that all in all it's going to be a blast. The only thing I am worried about is the cake. I am making it myself. I have BIG plans for it but who know what will happen int he end.

When I was about 13 I went through this weird stage where I decorated cakes just for fun. I remember making a cake and then decorating it just for practice. I am now hoping that some of that practice will pay off now.

Well Happy Birthday Silver! (it's actually on dec 1st but I had his party early as to not conflict with the AWESOME artists show at the Vineyard!)

The beauty of life

Zion (our dance drama group) will be doing a piece this sunday morning. It's just about worship , how awesome Jesus is, creativity and life. How totally blessed we all are to be called to worship the Lord. If you attend the Vineyard be there early as we are doing it early in worship.

On a totally different note does anyone have a queen size bed or even a double for sale? We are desprate for one. Also any dressers? We actually don't own one dresser. Isn't that nuts! We are on a tight budget but if anyone has anything they just want to get rid of or have for sale at a good price please let us know. Thanks!

Time will tell

As I was logging in I was thinking of all the things I could write about. I've got so much on my mind these days.

I've been thinking about the past...places I've been people I have known (and THOUGHT I knew). Blessings the Lord has given me. I love my life. Good, bad, and all!

The present.....how awesome it is to be a mother and wife. Sometimes I can't believe how I take it all forgranted. It's sick really. A great family, lovely children, and an amazing husband (how did I score such a wicked guy?)

The future ....who knows.....

I can't seem to shake this weird sense of sadness. I think it's been with me, lurking, ever since late last year. Just after I started to feel ill. It's been a challenging year to say the least. I am learning what is really important (to me) and what I can just shove in the trash.

what the heck?

I am having more tests today. I ask that you would pray for me today. That they would find the problem (no more guessing). I really want the Lord to reveal whatever it is that is causing my problems.
"Be hidden NO LONGER sickness"!

forget it

I just wrote a really great post about how much I hate mice and want to kill them with my bare hands. And how SIlver went to his first birthday today and how he had fun and was on a sugar high...bla bla bla

I erased it and just don't have the patience to re-write it. So just trust me it was actually funny and kinda entertaining (which doesn't happen too often on this blog).

Thanks Jamie and Noah for having us over!

Ouch

My neck and head are killing me. Serious pain.......it's almost 1:00pm, I've been up since 7:30am and haven't had time to take any pills yet.

Trinity is in a nasty mood today. Her teeth are coming in. She's got two or three at once right now. She has really been enjoying screaming at the top of her lungs. You know those high pitched squeals that only small animals and children can achieve? Well Silver and Trinity have those mastered.

Silver's 3rd birthday is coming up quick. December 1st. I am planning a cool Pirate/Princess party. In my family history (on my mother's side), a Pirate actually married a Princess....no seriously it's true! Anyway, I thought combining the two would make it possible for girls and boys to have a good time together.

This will be his first real birthday party. I just have to make up the invitations and get them out there this sunday. It's going to be fun...I hope :)

that's what I want.

this is an honest look into what I REALLY desire to do before I die.

I want to lead worship gosh darn it. I don't play an instrument very well. I don't even know if I can sing all that well. Do I have the kind of voice that just needs some lessons and practice and it would be fine? Or does it totally suck? I just need someone to tell me.

I want to paint the heart of God. That's pretty straight forward.

I long to be a part of a dance production. Something that is about an hour and a half long, with amazing costumes and lighting. The dancing would be solid and beautiful. It would touch all kinds of people.
That's all I can write now. I actually feel a little drained.
