Contemplating My Life!!

I have been thinking a lot lately about the path the Lord has put me on that I would have never chosen for myself. I honestly always thought I would work outside my home, not get married until I was much older, and maybe have a couple children. Obviously, the Lord had a different plan for me, and I am happy to say that even though my life is not how I thought it would be, it is so much more fulfilling, than any career could have been.
I guess I have been thinking about being a mom a lot, because I am going to be a new mommy again in December, and I am honestly really excited about it. I know it takes a lot to raise children, and I know I have a lot of them, but I know with the Lord that this could be the greatest accomplishment of my life. Now, according to today's standard's I am crazy and not giving each child the time and space they need to become well rounded children BLAH BLAH BLAH!! Ya know the world is so full of Satan's lies, and some I found have even leaked into our church it seems like. More couples wait to have kids till they are financially stable and feel they are able to be the best. Well, guess what no one ever feels financially stable and guess what no one will ever be the best. You do what you can, and rely on the Lord for the rest.
I know those are strong words, but I know that the Lord's plan for me is to be a mother, for a large portion of my life, and I know it is the hardest and most important job I will ever have. And for that to the Lord I am truly grateful, how wonderful it is to be part of his plan of creation, that the Lord has seen fit for me to do that. Just a few things I felt I needed to write down. I know way too long, sorry!

Easter Best!!

I know this post is way late, but I finally got the kids in their Easter clothes, my picture are pretty terrible, but I tried my hardest, Makayla just gets so excited, it is hard to get her to sit still.

My Boys!

Here is a couple of picture of my handsome boys, They all love each other so much, I hope they don't forget theses days when they are older. Enjoy the pics of my little monkeys enjoying a man show with their daddy!

Reading Evan!!

Evan is finally starting to move around. One of his favorite things is grabbing his brothers library books and trying to read them. Enjoy my little bookworm!!

I will let it be known!

So, if any of you who read my blog are my facebook friends, you already know the news,but I thought I would post it anyways. I AM PREGNANT!! I am very excited,my due date as of right now is December 16th, so a Christmas baby for us. I am terrible at keeping secrets, and I hope that I don't miscarry, now that I have told everyone on the planet. I was just too excited. In truth, James and I have had the feeling we needed to add another member to the family since October. I felt like it was the right time, but the Lord's timing is never our own, During that time, Evan started physical therapy and Makayla just started preschool. It was nice to be able to get them squared away and looking back on it, a great blessing, but now we are looking forward to another member to our wonderful family and a new chapter in our lives.

EASTER!

So we got to go and visit Russ&Emily, and baby Mirian, for Easter this year. Her first birthday was on Friday, which I didn't get any picture of(I know I slacked this trip). Saturday, we spent the day watching conference,eating yummy food, and dyeing Easter EGGS. It was a ton of fun. Sunday was conference again, followed by an Easter Egg Hunt and a very yummy Easter dinner. I only got pictures of James Micheal dyeing eggs. I know bad mommy, and we didn't take an Easter picture, I am going to have to take one with my mom, in all our finery.Thanks for the memories Russ and Emily, we had a great time, and love your new house! Enjoy the pictures of my eggstatic little boy!
