Happy Birthday!!! Someone Special!!

Today my son Micah turns 8!! So he is this week's Someone Special!!!

Micah is a twin. His sister RuthAnne went to glory when they were 27 days old. We always say that he is so active and busy to make up for his twin sister.. :)

He is such a bright boy! He has a quick wit and engaging smile!
He has started reading really well these last few months and I am so glad to see him enjoying books!

He also finds himself in trouble of all sorts. His little hands our always busy and sometimes they find naughty things to do. He really does remind me of Curious George! :)

I have to say also that he is a handsome little man! Big blue eyes looking up at me...
We're so happy to have him in our family. He is a wonderful blessing and I am blessed to be his mama!

My Mother's Day!!

Although it wasn't exactly like I wanted..(I wanted to be holding my newest blessing but he/she had other ideas..) it was a great day!

My dh and children set a plant on the table so when I opened my eyes Sunday morning this is what I opened them to. A beautiful flowering hanging plant!

Then my dh made me my favorite breakfast..Eggs Benedict. He is an excellent cook incase I haven't mentioned that before. His desire was to be a chef and although that isn't what he ended up doing we get to taste all his fabulous meals in our home! We're the better for it..perhaps not our waste line but our mouths love us! (and him!)

Then today I went to pick up my son and when I got home I noticed two more hanging plants on my porch! I missed them when I left but I had baby on the brain and was sidetracked..yes, thats my excuse and I am sticking to it! They are all beautiful! :)


My oldest dd made me chocolate covered strawberries and I ate them while we watched Army Wives lastnight! YUMMY! :)


I am truly a BLESSED woman!

Our Sunday...

Today we had a nice afternoon with the children! We spent the afternoon across the street from our home, in the field letting them play and teaching a few of the littles to ride bikes.

The children found some brand new baby bunnies who were so sweet! But their mama was no where in sight. We think she may be dead and they have been left to fend for themselves. :( They were only a few days old if that. Their eyes weren't even open yet.


My dh has been teaching Isaac to ride his bike the last few weekends. He is doing really great! And he is so proud of himself!! :)





All the kiddos love watching the train go by..




And of course playing in puddles is a must!



ZaraLayna did very well on her bike also..


Baby boy spends his time pushing his stroller around..maybe he is practicing for when baby arrives..



He also had to stop for a snack..:)

Gabby and her older brothers; Zeke and Josiah had to get some tree time in..
you can just see Gabby's hair hanging down from the tree..






And some more random pics from our day.....



It was a wonderful afternoon!!

Someone Special; Zechariah (Zeke)

I have such wonderful children; every last one of them. I want to take at least one day a week and just focus on one of my children. Telling you a little about them and maybe do a little bit of bragging. A mama's allowed that, right??

So, today I want to tell you about my 3rd child and 2nd son Zechariah...(or Zeke as we call him..)

I see so much of myself as a child in Zeke. He feels things so deeply which means he gets his feelings hurt alot. He also feels quite a few things aren't fair which was me as a child.. I am trying to use the similarities in a way that will help me be a better mama to him.

 He loves to do magic tricks on all of us and you can always find him on the couch with a book in his hand.

 He is very smart and bright. Math and most things in our homeschool come easy for him. He doesn't have to work very hard to get it all right.

He enjoys being with his daddy. And goofing with him.

He has an amazing ability to reason things out and understand.

About a month ago he came to me and his daddy and asked us if he could give the family a message from the bible because he wanted to see if the L-rd was calling him to be a Pastor. He did an excellent job. He was engaging and asked all sorts of questions to the littles getting them involved and making sure they were learning.

He is also a great cook! When it's his day to make our meals he makes such tasty things!

Zechariah will be 13 in June.

He is a blessing and I am blessed to have him as my son!

14 years ago today...

Today 14 years ago my first son was born. Elohim had given me a name for him that he may be like this king of old; righteous and bringing his people back to the ways of G-d! We named him Josiah. His middle name is Benjamin which means son of the right hand and this has proven true for my dh and his firstborn son..

Josiah is such a wonderful young man. These past months I have seen such growth in him. He is wonderful with my littles. So tender and sweet.. He is currently volunteering at a horse farm where he helps with special needs children. He loves it and tells me so many wonderful stories every time I pick him up! Each time he goes he gets up early and heats up some chilli for himself and his daddy for lunch. What a servants heart he has!
There have been some bumps in the road this past year but knowing that we are making progress in getting beyond them has meant so much to me! Seeing the changes taking place in his heart has been rewarding for us all! :)

Happy Birthday Josiah! We love you very much!

Micah who will be 8 in May made this model for his 4-H project due this month..


This is Micah..every week he gets out the pregnancy book, asks me what week I am on and finds it in the book so he can see what the baby looks like now! He has done this the entire pregnancy! He is such a cutie!! :)
