Another late night...

I am not a leader. Bible study last night was poorly led by me. Nver been good with words or leading sso was not fun for me. However we made it through and learned a lot of Gods love.
Packing today and leaving as soon as Roy gets home from work. Praying the pass is clear they have gotten a lot of snow this week.
I posted some pics on fb. So need to get caught up with that. Then keep upp with it :)
I need to go pump and get to my reading. Praying you all have a wonderful rest of the week and weekend :)

too tired

too much to ask??

I feel it is not too much to ask help of my big and little men to get our living areas picked up every night. However last night it waas like pulling teeth. AAARRRGGHHH!! I cant do everything and a few mins of quick pick up every night would so relieve some of the stressors of our small space.

On a much happier not a lady from the assembly offered to take the four older kids this afternoon for a few hours so I could prepare for the bible study W night! Such a blessing!
Levi had his first bottle last night. We are going Friday am to a celebration for my dad at Being and thee is a no children policy. I assumed Levi could go (nursing babe and would be strapped on to Roy or I) No exceptions they say. So he needs to take a bottle once or twice on F. Funny story here I will tell you later. I need to go wake Roy. Josh is coming over for prayer soon.

New road

Our houe will be the third one on the right side. There is a nice park behind me! We are buliding with Olin and will probably order the house next week. Then three months till we should be in!

Last night Levi was noisy. Slept the whole time but was making some sounds like he was conjested but hes not. I cant wait to have my own room again. :)
Please pray for me. On W I am leading the bible study. Not something I am overly comfortable doing but it is always good for us to get out of our comfort zones.
They have the curbs done on our new road. Looks like they will start paving very soon! Took some pics a few weeks ago and will post.
We went to Josh and Glorias yesterday for lunch and ended up staying till after 7. Great time of fellowship! Roy and Josh finished our statement of faith for the website and the kids had a great time playing outside.
Today is a regular day and today or tomorrow I need to pack for the weekend. Have a great day all!

Twin sisters hike

The pic of the boys and I was taken on the sister to the left. So yes Julie we were on a cliff it was a great hike and not too long. Here we are on our way to some little sand dunes where we saw lots of trax, beetles, scat, and small animal holes. Great education on desert living :)

tired!

Avery was sick in the middle of the night and Levi was restless at times. So not too good of a sleep for me last night. The Lord will give strength!
Yesterday was a ver good one. Micah and I had a bonding afternoonwhile Ian and Josiah bonded. Micah's favorite thing is playing the computer. I found a great pirate trade game that we played together. He and Roy played it last night too. I went to bed at 9:15 and they were still at it.
Now I know why Avery has been a pill the last few days. Praying she is better already and that no one else gets it.

So quiet :)

I love my mornings!! I have never been a morning personn but I am loving it. 2 hours of quiet b4 anyone rises then I enjoy eachone as they wake.

Rough day looking forward to tonight

Avery was a pill this am. However through her screaming and ??? Micah and I got school somewhat done. I am so proud of Micah as he was so patient and sat for a long time. Needless to say Avery went down for a nap just b4 noon and is up already :( should make for an interesting night for Roy.

W nights will be a ladies bible study and a kids bible club. So looking forward to it. This is the first ladies bible study I have ever done from a book.

YesterdayWe went to the pumpkin patch. Got a few pics but was difficult with all the kiddos by myself. I started off with Avery on my back and Levi on my front. We were there early and our start time ended up being pushed back. After standing for over 1/2 an hr someone asked about strollers and it was all stroller friendly so I was happy. They have a zebra and wallaroo along with donkeys, turkeys, pigs, and goats. Kids had a blast and then got a hay ride to the pumpkins!

Better run Micah just reminded me to gaurd my mouth :) As soon as I get them settled with a snack and sit down to write they come asking everything from me. :) Now Levi is hungry too.

just regular busyness

Sorry I missed your call lastt night Rachel. I tried to call you back at 6 but it was busy.

Last week was just plain crazy. We ended up going out every day but Monday.

Sunday am I was frusterated but trying to focus on having a positive attitude when Roy fixed everything! He suggested we get food at walmart, go change clothes, then go hiking!! What a great family adventure we had.

We are slowly adding more and more to our school day and Micah seems to enjoy it most of the time :) Avery is down to one nap and that is challenging but working. Levi is a perfect baby! He eats a last time at 8 and sleeps till 5or 5:30. During the day he is so content and happy :) He is just sitting here smiling at me now!!

Today we are going to the Pumpkin patch with our MOPS group. Should be interesting. Not sure if I can take the stroller for part of it. Will carry Avery in the backpack and Levi in the baby carrier for part of it. Good exercise for mommy :)

Good day!

Yesterday Roy sprained him ankle playing bball in the am and worked all day. He is in a lot of pain this morning so Tim told him to take the day off. Soo.. I will start school soon, clean some, have lunch, and thinking of taking Micah and Ian on a special nature hike. We try to do one once a week even if it is just in the neighborhood. Very limited when we have to take the stroller :) Maybe soon I will be in better shape for better hikes with the kids!

Where are you Rachel?? Must be a very busy week for you. Praying for you all!

Hey how are ya'll?? I accidently put my post on the wrong blog. Not sure how to get it over here w/o rewriting it. Maybe Roy can help me later. Have a great day!!

Another long day

Yesterday Roy was going to do one small job in the am then be home. I called at noon and he was on another job waiting for Tim to bring a h2o heater. Would be home soon :) I know better. He called at 5 telling us to eat w/o him would be another hr or so. When he left to take truck back to shop highway was at a standstill. He called me to find out the problem. Major accident w/ 2 cars on fire 5 hospitalized 3 of them children flown to Seattle. needless to say he did not get home till 7:45. This am he said there was not much work and would probably be home all day or at least early. Well... he is driving over the mts to do some work on The restaurant they did in Bothell. 6 hrs of driving to do a very small job crazy! So he will definitly not be home early. Prayinghe gets home earlier than last night.

So now what to do with this day?? Would like to do something special with the kids but Avery has a cough. Anyway better get on with the day we have school and cleaning every day so that is a given to do !!

Goals

I am on day 10 of my newest goal. Read the bible in 90 days. I have never read the bible straight thriugh but have always wanted to. My friend Jenise has done it every yr for the last 9 when she told me it made me think... Several times this spring I heard about Zondermans read the bible in 90 days program. I printed out the schedual, started it twice but only got thru the first few days, got behind and frusterated. So I am on day ten and all finished for today. So want to stay on track so thought if I told yall you would keep me accountable :)

Still working on getting clothes back in storage. Roy got called into work on Fri. Sat the men and big boys went hiking. Sun had a wonderfull day of true fellowship. Prayer, coffee&cookies, worship, lunch, games and talk, and then Gloria and I took Levi left the other 8 kiddos w/ daddys and went to Costco and Toys r us! Late dinner, kids to bed, Levi fed, and got myself to bed kinda early.

Praying Roy is home early (he only has a small job this am so far) so we can take boxes back to storage.
