Whew...take a breather!

What a busy weekend we have had! Rachel and I went to Hope mainly for Adison's 1st birthday party but we were so glad to see some of my family. It just seems like it went by incredibly fast.

Friday night Mommy left Rachel (only from like 5:30-10:30) with my mom and went to Christy's daddy's for some food! It was GREAT!!! Rachel only slept in the car for 45 minutes on the way to Arkansas so she was dog tired and Mom said she went down at 10 minutes after 8:00 and never cried. Saturday we hung out with Christy's family and swam in Christy's mom's pool and Rachel loved it!! She keeps saying, "Chuchel, fim." (translation: Rachel, swim...in case you didn't get the original version!! :) Sunday was Adi's party. Aside from me stepping on a toothpick at my mom's that morning and it going into my foot, Sunday was such a good day! Rachel played and Adi had a good party. I just love her....she is such a sweetie!!

Rachel LOVES playing in the dirt but she hates to be dirty...not a great combination! She played outside in the flower beds with my mom and loved every minute of it...until she saw dirt on her feet and would promply ask my mom to wash them off with the water hose. Stinker!

We drove home today...okay, so I drove home today...IN THE POORING DOWN RAIN!! Couldn't see the road at all in Rockwall and Rachel was screaming at the top of her lungs at the windshield wipers...I don't get that child sometimes...I just know I was ready to beat her!!

Leah had her baby on Thursday....BABY JOY!! I have only seen pictures, but she is precious.

Krista called this morning and her Poppop died early this morning after being in the hospital for about a week now. I mourn with her but rejoice at the same time because he is no longer hurting but dancing and singing with Jesus! Please join me in praying for her family.

I am exhausted! I am working tomorrow thru Friday so I will post pictures from the weekend when I can....hopefully tomorrow night!

Friends...Forever!

Image
What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

Image
We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
