This weekend, Brian and I took our boys to his parents and sit off to the lake. Chandler lake, but still its a lake! Well, those of you who know me know I am not a very good camper. lol. I like clean, no bugs or dirt, love my electricity. My husband however loves it and could live outdoors. He loves fishing, and i like it only if we acually catch something. And have we caught anything, no!!! lol Anyways, i dont mind it if its not burning hot and the bugs arent attacking you. Well, this weekend, we are with michaels family since michael and bec got a new boat. It is pretty cool! I liked relaxing in the sun and feel the water splashing on my face.
Now were sitting around talking while the boys fish, again. Thats all they wanna do! my my. Anyways, and get this, i can not sleep on the ground, so therefor we always bring our blow up matress!! goes right in tent and tada!! Its like a bed. I unfortunatly inherited my mothers bad back so i can not and will not come if i have to sleep on the hard cold ground. lol.
Sadly, the sun also gives me headaches so i cant be out in it very long, but this time of year its cooler so im enjoying it. got my visor, sunblock so hopefully i wont come home a lobster... those of you who are white know exactly what i am talking about. lol.
anyways, i try to camp some times a summer to be supportive of my hubby. its not too bad, would be more exciting if the fish would bite, the bugs wouldnt and my allergies would disapear,but all in all we have had a good time. Tonight will be the test, sleeping all night, thats why there is tylenol pm!!!

Potty Training, Day 1- A Nightmare Starts
I think im going to pull my hair out before this is done. I thought life was stressful before this! was i wrong. This morning at aproximately 9 i decided it was time to put zach in big boy underwear and start potty training. An hour and a half later, after sitting on potty four or five times, then giving him one cup of juice, he pees, not in his potty, but in his underwear right after getting up! ugh! well, went back to potty just to sit there fifteen minutes to not go. Well, changed undies and what happens, we eat lunch, one cup and i was gonna wait about ten minutes. Hadnt no more put him down and he pees, in his clean undies, all over the floor. I hurry him to bath room just to repeat the process!!! four underwears, three messes, and no pee in potty later, mom was ready to scream!!!! i know it cant happen over night but come on!! i then decided it was nap time, with diaper on!
Well, need less to say, im a little discouraged. I wish i could snap my fingers and make it happen! He is two and a half and i know its time to do this so i know i just gotta be patience. I have never had patience!! its the hardest thing i have come across yet being a mom, and im sure i can manage this hurdle. Once i figure out how. I tried the candy thing if he went in potty, and he never went in potty so that didnt work. he would wait till after he got off potty to go! so please, i would love some advice, encouragement and prayers that this is an easy transition.
I know it can be done, but its gonna take time. Zach is smart, but i dont know how he will learn to pee in potty before his new bid boy undies wind up soaked!! So i think ill put pull ups on, then try undies again in the morning. Lets cross our fingers and hope it comes along, before we go through more than a doaen pairs of undies a day!!!! lol thanks!!!

GOD IS SO GOOD
GOD IS SO GOOD!! Today, one of my dear friends, which i have know since i was eight, had a baby. What joy a baby can bring to so many lives. Friends, family and even strangers. It changes everyone around. Whether it be small or large people are affected by the birth of a baby. Mom and dad of course welcome their new little bundle of joy in this world, but today got me thinking deeper. How many people love one small child so openly, purely is an act of God. One small miracle bringing people closer together and uniting them. God works in mighty ways.
When i was eight, my family met what now i call my second family. The Howards. Back then, life was about playing games, having fun, dressing up, and just being young girls. Now, were all growing up, moving on, getting married, and having babies. Life changes like a whirlwind around you, pulling you around good and bad corners all along the way. Anyways, this family has been through so much and has been a blessing to me from the day i met them. Friends to the end, i sure hope so. Church was where we met, and god formed friendships that are lasting, I believe. We have all had our ups and downs but when you get right down to it, love. Love binds people. Friends and family. Forever.
The middle daughter, had the baby last night. Man did it bring out the good in everyone! Brought everyone close together and forever tying a happy couple. God has brought her through tough times, heart ache and pain, to laughter and tears. As i watched her with her son i was just in awe. Knowing the feeling myself and enjoying watching her experience the feeling of becoming a mom. Her face going from just pure love, to worry, to joy in a matter of seconds. Seeing the love she has immediately for her son and how it has changed her is just breath taking. I brings me to tears just thinking about it. A mothers love can never be bought or stolen. Just unique for her children. Unconditional, my favorite word to describe it. Watching her and her husband today, i mus thave thanked god a hundred times for blessing this new family and bringing us all closer. Zaiden, how truly blessed you are. A family who loves you and a mother who already has shown how much she will always do for you, her son. I am so proud of her, she is going to be a great mom.
Life comes at you no matter what. Love. Friendship, always be blessed. I certainly am. I thank my god everyday for the friendships that he has given me. Friendships that will last. Everyone loves babies, thats for sure. Today has been a blessed day for me. Joy and hope for the future, reimininsing(Iknow not spelled right but oh well) about the old days and just being free. Free and happy.
Today, visiting with the new baby and family really brought out the best in that family. Renewing ties and bringing everyone together. Love, strength and happiness all at once. In the midst, sadness being a close family member is sick, but yet hope. God brought a tiny little miracle to share with everyone. God is love, shown through a little babies touch, the mothers loving gaze, and a proud daddy beaming at his son. What a blessed day.
