Death...

Out watering the plants Emma randomly asks me...

Emma- do people die?
Me- yes.
Emma- do doggies?
Me- yes.
Emma- do cats?
Me- yes.
Emma- do plants?
Me- yes.
Emma- do woodchips?(remember we are out watering the plants)
Me- well they are already dead?
Emma- mommy remember my voice died at the pool.
Me- ya sorta well u kinda lost ur voice.
Emma- ya I lost it in the pool. But it's back it didn't die.
Me- so when people die, where do they go?
Emma- they go to see God. (wow maybe I have taught her something about salvation?)
Me- yes remember if you believe Jesus died for your sins, your bad choices you will go to Heaven when you die.

Maybe 3 minutes go by...

Emma- mommy am I gonna die? (uhhhh don't think any parent wants to hear this question)
Me- yes, well someday when your very old (ohhh that is my prayer!)

Me- (oh man!)

What's new you ask?

It's been awhile...I know.  I try to stay on top of the blogging thing BUT I always seem to not.  So life these days have been completely overwhelming, stressful and so much more I honestly don't even know the words to describe.  My husband is a Landscape contractor, owns his own Landscaping business.  He has been in business for 5 years now.  The business has seen many ups and downs. NEVER have we seen the down that we are currently in. It is shaking us to our core.  Making us cling to Christ because really that is ALL we have to cling onto. There is a possibility he may lose the business, an even GREATER possibility we are going to lose MANY things BUT we have eachother, our babies, support from friends and family AND most of all Christ!  That is where I am today...actually positive. 

Well besides all that....Wyatt is 10.5 months!  He is into EVERYTHING!!  Moving everywhere!  Such a big boy!!  Emma is growing up into a little girl more and more everyday!  Emma is LOVING preschool and she showed me recently how she knows how to write her name!  Such a big girl!  We have been enjoying the sunshine and playing in the water. 

I have been trying my very best to walk 7.5 miles 5 days a week!  I was doing pretty good BUT this last week I only made it out 1 time.  The walking has been AMAZING. 

OH and I took up coffee! 

Well that's all for now.  Hopefully I will be updating sooner then later!

Emma is pushing him and he is LOVING it! Pure joy on his face!!

                      He is actually taking Emma for a ride here!  They are hilarious!

Happy 10 Months Baby boy (I'm a day late)

4 Things...

1. Opening Day....GO Angels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Baseball Season is HERE!!!!  We have free tickets for the Wednesday game and I'm SO excited!!!!

2. VEGAS....is in 4 days....YES in 4 days I leave for an ADULT no kiddos weekend...I'm SO excited!!!

3.  My baby boy LOST his FIRST best friend!  I'm SO SO sad.  His best friend was about 4 inches tall and his name was Mr. Bear. Wyatt attached himself to Mr. Bear.  He would hold Mr. Bear and instantly start sucking his bottom lip while rubbing Mr. Bear onto his upper lip.  Anyways he is LOST and won't be found. My boy was VERY sad and had a hard time going to sleep last nite. FINALLY he curled up and went to Zzzz land.  He was attached, I was attached. TEAR!!! 

4. LASTLY....Not too sure how I feel about this one....I'm 29 today. It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to....29....Really?  Yikes.  I think 29 is harder then turning 30.  But I am blessed to be healthy and have a beautiful and healthy family. So there ya go!  Oh and my birthday request was NO diapers, no butt wiping, no bottles and no sippy cups....hmmmm I've done a couple of those already BUT definitely have gotten out of  MANY of them today so Thank U Kev!!!  I'm taking FULL advantage of turning 29 today....ALL day till 11:59pm!!! 

Happy Monday.

I DID it...FINALLY!!!

Just ordered these for Mr. Wyatt!  I researched and researched when he was still in the belly and was gonna do it...then I went the easy, fill up the land fills way and I stuck with good ol pampers!  He is now 9 months old and no better time then the present!!  I'm very excited about this.  I've started off small. 3 covers and 6 liners. We will start with using the land fill fillers while we are out or if grama is watching him.  I will let you know how they go!  It's a HUGE savings!!!  Emma was in diapers till 2.5 and pull-ups from 2.5-3.  So if he is like his sister and isn't potty-trained till 3....well I have a little over 2 years of DIAPER money savings and it's ECO-friendly!!

Also I'm making this absolutely yummy delicious goodness tonite for bible study!!!  Stumbled onto it while finding Kimmie's blog!  You will LOVE this girl, stop by and say hi and check out the yummy goodness!!!
