"Mommy's Busy"

The two words I've learned to hate....it's been so crazy here trying to pack, care for Marty and Isaac (flu), plan a women's retreat, disciple, Bible study, teach Sunday School, prepare lessons for pre-K, and well, sometimes I have to shower. When Rhea says "mommy, want to play mommies with me?" Lately my automatic response has been "Mommy's busy honey." It depresses me to no end. When I do stop and play with her, I feel the stress build up in my neck because I see the laundry, the dishes, the mess, when I don't stop to play with her, the stress is there another way. I'm so tired of being BUSY! Life is too short.

10 Commandments

We were talking about the 10 Commandments today and I asked my kids if they knew any of the 10 Commandments. Well, my sweet son rose his hand and said, "I don't know 10, but I know 2!" "Really," I replied, with a rather proud feeling, "which ones honey" "You know Mom, Elle and Manny on Ice Age 2...you know the two mammoths" Ok, it's not as funny written as it is saying it. If you say 10 commandments out loud quickly, a child, or anyone for that matter might think you're referring to Mammoths! Especially if that's all you've been watching for the past week!

Birthday Party






I haven't uploaded pictures in a while, so I wanted to post these of Isaac's Birthday Party! We had a blast with a Happy Feet birthday, we were Pinguins! Isaac loved everyone one of his presents...Thanks everyone!

SHE TOOK HER FIRST STEPS

Rhea, is my little Princess. Doesn't she look all grown up? Only 3.5 years old, writing her name, singing, and playing mommy and sisters all day!










Abby did it. 8 mos. 1 week, she took 2.5 steps by herself. She didn't know what happened but did it with ease. I'm with her all day long, and go out one evening with the girls, and she does it for Daddy! Where's the love? Anyway, here are some recent pics of my beauties! Enjoy!
