Could God Really Bless Us More?

This was the question I asked at the end of my last post and the answer is yes, yes, yes!! I have been keeping it in the secret for the last week or so and my secret is that we are going to have another baby! I can't believe it! Sometimes it absolutely amazes me that God would entrust another little miracle to me and big daddy. I spend countless hours wondering whether it will be a dainty little girl or a rough and tumble little boy. Will it look like Margaret, OB, or Boo? Sometimes it doesn't even seem real quite yet, but then whenever my belly starts getting that queasy feeling again, I'm reminded just how real this really is. We have so prayed for this to be the Lord's will and I truly believe it is since the time the baby came to me was within days of my precious grandma going to heaven. Somehow I believe that she was there to pick out just the perfect baby to send my way and I wonder if it won't have alot of her qualities. I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm sure the following months will include lots of different feelings and emotions, but I know that I can rest in the Lord in knowing that this is all his plan and that he so wants to bless our family with another child to hold. Ain't God Good!

Oh Me Oh My - It's the 4th of July

This has been a roller coaster ride of a day. It first started off with finding out that our dear friend Jim had finally lost his battle with cancer. Bless his heart, he and his family fought the battle until the very and end with such dignity. I can't even imagine how their hearts are aching tonight, but it's nice to know that he is resting in the arms of our precious Lord who will send his angels to comfort the family and all of their friends. I was privileged to be able to go out and be with family for awhile and clean up their kitchen for them, seems that's always been what I liked to do while visiting their home. (not that it needed it) I just wanted to pitch in and help them in anyway I could.

Then Big Daddy and all the babies and myself took off and went to Houston and met Nana and Pappy at KFC for a bite of lunch. All these times are so special to me, I cherish each and every minute I'm able to have with my parents, not only are they my parents, but they're our best friends too. We then made our happy way to Walmart to look for the kids new fishing poles. A trip to Walmart is enough to fill the day no matter what we are going to get.

After getting Boo Boo to sleep and traveling home, it was time for a 4-wheeler ride and picnic out in the country with who else, but nana and pappy. We went to our picnic spot to only find out that others were already having a bar-be-que there so we ventured out a little further in the country and set beside the road and had our supper. These times are worth more than millions of dollars to me. I love each and every time we do this. Momma laughed when we finally got back and said that she felt like she had been riding a bull on the way home, since their 4-wheeler was cutting out on them. She's so funny, she cracks me up!

The day then just kept going on after making it home, having a family pick up, then it was time to move onto fishing at our own pond. (That's sounds so good to say our own pond) It was so much fun. I think the kids caught 15-20 little fish! Boo-Boo caught his very first fish and he was so excited. Kassi and myself made a huge step in becoming farm girls, we both learned how to put worms on the hooks. If you don't know us, then you should know that this was a HUGE accomplishment for the both of us.

After everyone came in and took hot baths, it was just a nice time to sit down and remember all the fun things that took place today. We are so blessed to live in the country we do and we are so blessed to have the most precious family anyone could ever ask for. Could God really bless us more?

You Make Me Happy!! Yeah!!!

For my 1st post I decided to list a few things that make me happy. Margaret was out in her bedroom listening to that song and it made me sing along and think of all the things little and big that make me so happy!

1. My wonderful husband - He's the most wonderful man anyone could ever ask for. He spends every waking minute thinking of more ways to make me happy. I love you my knight in shining armor.
2. My daughter, Miss Kassidi (aka Margaret). She is an absolute joy. She is so funny and loves to talk nonstop, but that's okay, I always have time to listen.
3. My oldest son, Koleby (aka OB). He is all boy, rough, loud, and rowdy, but is the most tenderhearted child. He always wants to fix everything that is broken and make everyone happy.
4. My baby boy, Kyan (aka Boo Boo). All I can say is that he is a delight. From morning to evening he makes me smile. He's very ornery, but he is so precious. He loves to be outside and be in the wa wa. (water)
5. My home. I love my home, my little piece of heaven is what I call our little farm. We love it here and feel so blessed to have my daddy's little farm that he has treasured so.
6. My family. I have the greatest family ever. We have always been a closely knitted family and I cherish all the fun times we still have together.
7. My church family. We have been blessed these past few months with such a special group of people to come together and worship with. God is doing amazing things in our church and I'm so happy about that.
8. My heritage. I'm so blessed to have a heritage in which serving the Lord is the most important thing in the world.
9. My camera. I love my camera!!! It definitely makes me happy. When I'm the happiest is when I am taking pictures of my children. I love it!
10. My collections. I have had many collections over the years, from stuffed animals, aprons, blue willow, pink willow, willow tree angels, beanie babies, bearington bears, boyds bears, the list could go on and on. I love being able to go out and yard sale and look for little goodies.
11. Last but not least, My Savior. I would not be who I am or be where I am at without the Lord. He has so richly blessed me with all that I have. I'm so thankful for the life I have in him. It's not always the easiest way, but it's the best.

So now you can see why I am so happy!! So here goes, You make me happy, yeah - You make me feel the way I do. You make me happy, yeah!!!
