as promised...

Can you see HIM???

Samuel's sweet profile shot

Sam's little foot...toes on the left side, heel on right

Closer profile pic

oops...guess I put two up here!

Sorry it took over a week! I could not get out annoying new printer to scan the ultrasound pics to the computer...also, I cannot figure out how to upload Sam's video..lame computer!! Every time I put the disc in, it just starts playing it and I cannot find an "upload" button to push on any program.. So the most simple thing for me to do without getting upset was take a picture of the picture..nice. and then upload.

So I'll try to work on the video. It is actually really helpful with kids if your homeschooling... or public school too:) In Bible, Science anything...teaching your children about faith..in God...We can't see Him but we know He is there and someday (if you love the Lord and you walk with Him) we'll see Him.. Also, kids get to see how God is creating a life and in less than four months we'll see the end/beginning of one of His masterpieces...lots of lessons..Anyhoo..you decide..we don't mind you sharing it with your family:) ....that is IF I ever get it up!

and last but not least....I was wondering who is coming Friday night...a girlfriend of mine just reminded me I was having a "gals movie night" at my home at 7 pm...actually I'll just transfer it on here...hold on...

So ladies let me know if you can come...the more the merrier! Hope to see some of you here...and if I didn't hand one of the invites to you...it's because I'm forgetful and I handed them out several weeks ago...How's that for a party hostess:) I love the forgetfulness that is coming with this pregnancy...awkward!

meme??

...yeah.....Thanks Alicia! I kid, I kid...all the boys are resting, so nows my time to catch up...I owe you that much right? I'm not quite sure what a meme is, but I'm just gonna "copy/paste" and change some answers! Just a forwarning, I have led a pretty uneventful career life...well career in the sense that you get green paper for a job well done:)

Four Jobs i have had:

*I was a nanny for a sweet girl. She was adopted the day she was born and I got to watch her from about 3mths old until maybe 7 or 8?

*Then I babysat these three kids every summer (girl 6, boy 4, girl 1). My dad would drop me off on his way to work at 5-5:30 am and their dad would drop me off at home around 5-6 pm...and my salary for 12hr/5days a week.....$3 an hour...that lasted 3 summers until my dad did the math!! (I love daddies!)

*My third job I worked at Target my Sr. year of HS when I was pregnant with Jaden...I guess this would be my technical "first" job and the only job I had to give my SSN for!

*My current job....ladies, I don't think I really need to list my activities....but I'm a homeschool-housemanaging-mommy!..Hands down, best job (and most rewarding) job yet!!

Four movies I've watched more than once:

Hmmm...theres actually alot. We didn't watch TV shows growing up, only Christian films..So I'll say as an adult. Return to Me, While you were sleeping, Facing the Giants, Pride and Prejudice and my naughty(guilty pleasure) one How to lose a guys in 10 days!

Four places I've lived:

..seriously??oooh....Um...I was born in Denver, CO.

on the dairy just north of our town...we added Andy to the fam there!..

Four places I have been:

Most of our United States

Four places I want to go some day:

All over Europe....

Italy,London, Paris, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands,Greece, Sweden, Portugal, Spain..all over Madrid

Australia

Ireland...that was way more than 4...but I do I do want to go here! We agreed after we know we're done having children and we have no more toddlers, our in-laws said they'd take us for a couple of weeks to see Europe!

Four places I'd rather be right now:

For the sake of our anniversary today and Rex working(12pm-11pm!)

snuggling up together watching a flick or just talking!

Four favorite foods:

-my moms...or anyone who wants to cook for me and clean the dishes:) any offers?? jk

Four people who always e-mail me:

lame ads that I erase....I don't really get a ton from people

Four people who will respond to this meme?:

no clue...seriously:)

Four TV shows I'd watch over and over:

If I owned them, I love Lucy, ELR, The Jetsons, and the Flinstones (childhood fave at Grampa + Grammies!!!) Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman (again, childhood fave!) , Remmington and Mrs. Steele....and maybe Walker, Texas Ranger..that was a bonding time for Andy and I:)

So I hope this is enough to hold me through until May 1st!! I promise I'll write if I can think of anything worth my time or yours!! Have a great weekend...It's supposed to be in the 80's!! Bbbeeeaautiful!!

Forgive me...I'm lame!

Second today...sooo sorry guys! I'm sure you'll all be cross eyed...or cross at me:(However, I just received this thoughtful award and it would be rude of me to wait another week or two to blog on it! so #2 here we go!!

How sweet is this gal! Alicia...you are too kind, really! My good friend Alicia wrote some really thoughtful things about a lady who sounds nice and she happened to drop my name in...you may be mistaken my friend! But thank you....sincerely, thank you! I was hesitant to start a blog, but as I told Christina this is my secret obsession; reading fellow mommies blogs about daily struggles and triumphs, recipes and thoughts! What a blessing you terrific ladies are and what sweet fellowship we share...so thank you!

I think in keeping with the tradition of this award, I'm supposed to give to other lovely ladies..one problem!! All my girlfriends have been awarded this previously! So, I will write about them, and if you all chose to re-post it kudos! Also, though I don't have many blogger friends yet, I would still choose these ladies...reasons...They love the Lord and desire to honor Him in all their actions and relationships...They are all married and they teach me more and more how to be a loving wife to Rex. They are all mothers...and they are amazing mothers! The ones with older (and multiple) children home school and have taught me sooo much by there example and by there time in teaching me..They are also really great friends. You know when you come to the table, lay it all out there, they will be loving, they will be compassionate, and they will be true...to God's Word. I have confidence that each lady would redirect me to the Bible in an instant if I was struggling...so I praise God for each lady listed!

1. Alicia ...This wonderful woman has brought so much perspective to our ladies Bible study group. Every week I find myself waiting to hear what she has to say and then go home and replay the wisdom she spoke, in my mind. It's amazing to me, that through trials, God reveals so much to us about himself and during certain trials this woman grew spiritually right before our eyes and it was such a testimony to me and my family. I love you Alicia and my family thanks God often for your family!

2. Kristen ....is a relatively newer friend and instantly I knew there would a blossoming friendship. This girl is amazing. Really! Shes got two young boys and another on the way and has had a few tragic circumstances this year...all pretty big ones....and she has responded so well to them all.. she is so filled with the Fruit of the Spirit! You can't help but want to know God more intimately. She is also super creative and really easy to talk to. The type you can pour your heart out too and feel loved! We have also had so many similar situations it's always great to hear another moms perspective on the same circumstance you have gone through.. I'm excited to continue to grow this friendship with you!

3. Christina is one of those ladies that just seem to have it all together (I'm sure she'll disagree, but this is my blog...) Our friendship is still fresh as well, but it feels like I've always known her! She has a very peaceful and warm feel about her. I always look forward to seeing her at church. She is so encouraging and always seems to be joyful..I don't think I've ever seen a frown on her face..yet:) She also is very clever and crafty. I love love love your floral wreathes and floral arrangements in vases! Beautiful!!

4. Katy is a really neat gal too. She used to attend our church, but then left us (I kid, she moved!) so we have kind of lost touch until Blog world! So I am really excited about rekindling our friendship! She also has a little boy and baby girl on the way!! Many, many congratulations to your family!!! Katy has a great fashion sense and has decorated her home so lovely..she really "green" or Eco-friendly (which I totally applaud and am a huge fan of...she's hard core!! She has also started her own business and is great on the sewing machine...she's pretty much the "whole package" so to speak:) She really has a heart that loves God and she tends to her family sooo well! She and her hubby are also super cute together...and really competitive in sports (I strongly suggest you don't play badminton couple vs. couple!!)



and if this lady had one I'd for sure pick her...and even though she doesn't...she's getting one..because I know she reads blogs!! and I simply adore her!!....drum roll please.......

5. Tricia W....the more I get to know this fine woman, the more I learn about Gods attributes and His blessings to His children...and I certainly want to be a woman that makes others learn those things! This lady is so generous with her time, though she has a busy schedule. Thoughtful with her words, she is loving to her husband and children, very responsible with their finances and so eager to help others. I just love this gal and...I'm hoping soon, Tricia, you will be joining the blog world..if I can do it.. you for sure can!

There are also a few other ladies I would love to list..but they don't blog and I don't think they read them either...so I'll mail them a letter and let them know how grateful I am for them! Whew...long day in the blog world... signing off!
