Ah, Sweet Family Time!

I haven't blogged in like FOREVER, I have so missed the writing!! So, today will be a quickie, with just a highlight of our week away with each other. This trip was purchased two years ago! Amazing isn't it? The Lord knew we wouldn't have been able to take the trip otherwise.

We are not huge Myrtle Beach fans but if you go after Labor Day it really is quite pleasant. I will say this though, Jason and I decided after this trip that we are NOT fans of the sand, we are looking at a trip to Amish Country for next year. :-)


This is Addison's favorite part, the sand, she did NOT like the ocean AT ALL. She wouldn't even let it touch her, if we brought her close to the water she would scream "I done, I done." So, suffice it to say that she is in favor of the Amish Trip next year.



This is my sweet husband enjoying the absolutely beautiful weather. It was perfect in the mid 80's. I believe this picture was taken on September 11, it was neat at the Boardwalk they had like 7 or 8 flags all at half mast.



My monkey Ethan doing his favorite thing, climbing. We took a day trip to Huntington Beach State Park, it really wasn't the best day at the beach as it was muggy and kind of just icky, but we had a picnic under this cool tree so it was worh the trip.




Me and my Chandler on the really high, really cool, Sky Wheel. Isn't he just adorable? Anyhoo, it was a great day and we enjoyed seeing for miles around the coast line.

So, to sum it all up, we had a much needed time to regroup and relax as a family. Things have been crazy for us lately and it was so nice to take a little time out in the middle of the craziness.

I promise to get back on the blogging wagon soon! I have several ideas I would love to share and I have a delicious healthy dessert I want to try. :-)

Thanks for reading!

Super Mom!

(I'm using an old pic today because I couldn't get a new one to upload~ugh computers)  As I sit and write this post I feel on the verge of screaming, crying and pulling out my hair.Yesterday was our first day back to school and our first day getting back on the potty training schedule. And everything went soooo smooth! The boys studied so hard and didn't complain even once. Addison went potty at least 5 times and actually seemed happy about it. I even baked homemade Pita Bread for lunch. Yesterday I felt like Super Mom!! Then I woke up today... It is early afternoon and my little one is napping and the boys are just finishing up school. And I just want to cry! Why? Well, let's just say today was not quite as smooth and I wasn't quite the Super Mom I felt like yesterday. School was a bit more stressful, more tests, more lessons in diagraming (so glad I'm not in 5th grade), more potty accidents, more papers lost, more messes made and so forth. Really, j...

Faith without Fear

This thought has been on my heart all week, faith without fear. How many times have you stepped out on faith and noticed the trembling inside as you shook with fear? Isn’t it a scary thing to obey the Lord and take that step of faith? Not knowing where God is sending you, how He is going to provide for you, if you are going to get that job offer, if He is going to heal you, if your loved one is going to accept Christ, what to do next… Couldn’t you just tremble with fear NOT knowing??                 Hebrews 11:23 “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” I was reading Hebrews this week and when I read this verse, a light seemed to come on. I had never thought about faith that way, faith without the fear. As you know, this blog is all about my journey in faith but I wo...
