Just wanted to share that Chad and I are trying for bay~b number 3! Were ready for very sick pregnancies (well not really) and baby bump, and finding out what its gonna be tho we may keep it a secret from all of you.... chad is really hoping for a boy and I am kinda too! I mean we already have a name for him...which ill fill u in on cuz its so super cute.....Houston(chads middle name) colt (why? no reason just like it) and a girl name ya dont have one or a clue either...so maybe thats a sign.....but i may not be able to keep that secret as i want to paint the babys room! ha...ready for sleepless nights and lots of love!!! SO its True we are officially trying to beg the stork to bring us a........baby! Please pray it happens soon as i hate waiting ha!

Things that make me smile....

Cheri and Dan and baby girl

Its been a year now since ive been watching baby Antonia.....not so baby anymore....18months...saying over 80 words(this age should be able to say at least 10) note: 80 words! knows how to sign just about any sign......tells me my necklace is pretty!!! lovers her some " outside time" loves her "B" (betrix doggy) and her "bubs" (Arimis doggy) and her Aria, sim sim and boo! yes she can say all names to all her 3 cats and 2 dogs! She makes me smile daily and i just love her to peices.....Im not braggin ...Im just sayin...ha

The Smilanick family and the Towe family are great friends now...we love them so much and so glad they are apart of our world.....and us being apart of yours xoxo

A fresh start....God is real

I woke up this morning running late wondering if i would make it to church on time.....than i heard Gods voice saying " you better hurry you only have 45 min" hmmm"okay okay I'm up..." I love Cornerstone...Its a great church and i always feel Gods presence when I'm there on Sundays..Today's message leaves me so many things to think about....a little girl from our church that's only 6 years old was diagnosed with a brain tumor 6 months ago..her dad spoke today about how when things happen in our lives that we think we possibly couldn't handle and sometimes we just cant handle..all the pain...tho its when we need to rely on Jesus to heal our pain and our wounded hearts..those of us that have healthy children could never understand those that have to see there child in pain and suffering.....its been 6 months that Kate hasn't left the hospital has been thru 5 rounds of chemo..throwing up high fevers and pain..and yet because we don't see that in our lives we take for granted good health as others suffer daily praying and hoping the Tumor is gone and their baby wont die.....breaks my heart...I begin to think about my family....how my life would be torn apart if one of my babies got cancer.....Kate's parents are strong....

This new year of twenty 10,

I want to stop sweating the small stuff....

(like if my house if perfect clean..to let it go...deep breath)

I want to be involved in the community

(help at phx childrens)...

learn to let things go when someone has wronged me.

...show Gods love more

Have my kids start journaling

Eat healthier....

(wait this is gonna have to require me to cook more)

Cook more....

(learn new recipes)

Read thru Mathew, Mark, Luke and John

( i wanna learn how to love people more)

Be more patient

(oh Lord i need a lot of that)

Prayers continue to be answered...my Brother was baptized last weekend...he is fresh and his sins have been wiped clean...Hes been off drugs for over a month now and is in a rehab christian based place that has healed him....no more nights of worrying if we are ever going to see him again or get that call...chad has new job opportunities that we are very excited about....time to start trying for baby #3!! We are are healthy and well..(minus the colds that have been around our house!) 2009 had some great moments...

We welcome Twenty 10

with open arms and new beginnings of Faith, Love and forgiveness!!!

I remember everyday i was pregnant with you...I found out about 5 weeks along...senior in high school...what a surprise! About 7-8 weeks along i was puking my guts out....feeling like i was going to die!!! I tried diff drugs but nothing seemed to work..boo! I remember the first time i felt you kick i was 14 weeks along a little flutter, i remember the feeling in my heart that you gave me....i just loved you! Dr Weary was your Doctor oh how i loved him...you were concieved in Arizona but i moved you to Colorado Springs..Gram and Pop wanted you close by! Daddy and I made a bet on what sex you were gonna be! I so knew you were a girl and he so was hoping for a boy! So we bet a months worth of back massages and at 18weeks and 3 days it was confirmed that you were a GIRL!!!! I think I screemed a lil loud as the nurse jumped! hehe Oh all the girly stuff i had in mind for you...I now look at pictures and the maternity clothes were a bit ugly ha ha but baby Gap and Gymboree were mine and Grams favorite shops for you! I was pretty much sick thru my whole pregancy and about 28 weeks along you were thinking you wanted to meet me! What????

Yep! You landed me in the hospital for a whole week! I was 80% effaced and 2 cm dialated! Say what?? SO yes we were a bit worried! The Doc gave me a sterroid shot for your lungs and i grew hair on my chest! ha jk. but somehow you decided to stay in....accually you decided that when my due date came on Dec 6th you werent ready....i was sopose to be on bed rest but that only lasted a couple weeks! Im a bit ADD ha! So the doc induced me !! well accually i kinda went into labor on the 9th but he submitted me and you were born on the 10th at 2:46pm after 3 hours of pushing! Thanks for that!! I never saw such a more beautiful baby!!! Myheart sank when i saw you! you were 8pounds 4ounces! i still dont know how you came out but you did! by the help of a vacume! you had double chins, theighs, and the cutest lil fat cheeks ever!!! you were pissed and surely let everyone know! Thank you for making my life so blessed by being you!!! your so smart and loveable and caring and you just love me to peices as i love every lil inch of you!!! Plz stop growing up!!!
