32 Weeks and MUCH...MORE...


Here I am...32 WEEKS TODAY-YIPPEE!

GUYS, I have SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!


REMEMBER WHAT THIS Trip to see THE MOUSE MEANS??

Thats right-BIT BUT is COMPLETELY potty trained so he got his promised trip to CHUCKEE CHEESE!
We are SO PROUD OF YOU SON!

The Captain asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day and this was it....
It felt SO GOOD to sit in the massage chair and get my toes done..
The BEST part was I got out and got to go to church on Mother's day and SOCIALIZE!

I came home to these flowers from the oldest and SIL.
My SIL also called me from Iraq to wish me a happy MD-what a GOOD SON!
That phone call=GUARANTEED tears flowing!

Do to The Captains flying schedule, and my bed rest, we just can't make it to everything, I was VERY SAD for my kids that we missed the Awana Awards ceremony a couple of weeks ago. They all worked SO HARD on their Awana books and verses this year but there was no way I could take all 6 on my own and I didn't want to send them with someone else and miss it so we stayed home.

Around 8pm on the night of the ceremony, there was a KNOCK at the door, it was their Awana leaders.
They did a PRIVATE CEREMONY for our kids.... in their JAMMIES!

Here are Bean and T getting their awards with their leader.
I cry just looking at the pictures-the kindness that God has shown our family through his MANY servants while I have been on bed rest has been so overwhelming.

Here are my 3 proud Cubbies getting their awards from their BELOVED leader.


MY MY's face was TOO PRICELESS not to share as she recieved her award!

This week while The Captain has been away, my dad's sister came to help me with the 6 littles for a couple of days.  The kids LOVED HER!! They cried when she left and wanted to go home with her!

Cinderella did more than read books, she mopped my 1500 square foot floor and MUCH MORE!
You can come back ANY TIME AUNT D! We are so thankful you were here!

Here is the new changing table! We are all ready for baby now!

My cousin has also set up a BABY POOL for us where you can guess the baby's name, weight etc.
CLICK HERE to join in & give your guesses.  The person with the most points WILL WIN A PRIZE!!

The last few weeks our family has been shown SO MUCH LOVE by our family and church family.
People providing meals, ice cream, hummus, books for me to read, company, cleaning and mostly GOD'S LOVE. Thank you all for TRULY being the hands and feet of Jesus. For sacrificing YOUR PRECIOUS TIME for us.
We appreciate you all more than you could ever know.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! In the PINK..

I KNOW, I KNOW...I'M LATE!!!! Read all the way through and you'll see why.

The Captain is usually always gone on Mother's Day. This year, I was blessed to have him home. SO EXCITED to go to church as a family & hear the kids special song they had been working on for weeks. Didn't happen....

We were IN THE PINK that day. PINK EYE that is-so we stayed home. I'll admit, I was bummed. Even more bummed the kids didn't remember ONE WORD to that song they learned for weeks.

The Captain took the 6 littles to Wally World and let them all pick out a present for me. I got the following....

  • A Clematis plant from T-LOVE IT!
  • A Watering can from MyMy
  • A necklace from Bean
  • Hand sanitizer from Bit But
  • Shower Gel from AW Bell
  • Bug Spray from WyWy Then I surprised all of them with gifts from me! They freaked! They were so excited! I told them how I felt God had blessed me so much with each of them & that without them I would have no Mothers Day so they deserved gifts too!T loves to take pictures so she did a photo shoot of me with one of the flowers that fell off the plant she gave me! I was lookin' flat ROUGH!Then The Captain cooked steak & shrimp for me on the grill YUMMERS!Then we ate this FABULOUS Chocolate raspberry Wally World Cake! (the reason for the DOUBLE CHIN in the above picture)
    AS IF all that wasn't enough... This pulled in the driveway TODAY! The Nebraska Furniture Mart delivery truck only stirs HAPPY THOUGHTS in my brain.They brought me this.... A BEAUTIFUL LEOPARD PRINT CHAISE from The Captain for Mother's Day. They only deliver to THE STICKS like once every 2 months or I would have had it in time.

I've had a picture of this chaise lounge hanging in my command center for over a year.

AHHHH... I hope to do lots of relaxing, reading my Bible and CHILLIN' in my new chaise. Notice I'm wearing my WILD OLIVE TEE? Great giveaway going on over there! And YES, I pay my kids to rub my head :)

I've had lots of visitors to THE CHAIR already today-PRAISE GOD FOR SCOTCH GUARD & furniture protection plans :) I just LOVE the way it looks in my room. Now all I need is a little table and a lamp and I'm SET!
The Captain is NONE TO THRILLED with the Leopard Print. He actually despises it. Bringing a FROU FROU chair you can't stand into your bedroom-NOW THAT'S LOVE!
PS-DON'T FORGET TO GO TO SONIC TONIGHT BETWEEN 8 & midnight to get your FREE ROOT BEER FLOAT!
