Surprise at the fair

It's that time of year!!! Cooler weather and the County Fair in town. The kids love the fair and the rides (well everyone but Bella on a few rides) and we look forward to walking around inside looking at the vendor booths to cool off. There was a nice breeze today but I am still sunburned!!

Anyway while walking around inside we had a man ask if he could talk to the kids about Jesus, he had all kinds of materials and little Bibles at his booth. WE of course said YES! After talking for a minute he prayed with them and told us a little of his story of being a missionary in Africa! Each one of the kids then had a prayer of blessing by themselves and a Bible dated when they accepted Jesus! A great day at the fair!

6 Years

Its hard to believe that the last 6 years have been spent in missions and adoption. TnT 4 year got cha home was on the 19th! So hard to believe on one hand and it seems like they have always been with us on the other. It's really hard to get back to a "normal" life after being so consumed and wrapped up in everything for that long.

When everything started to settle down I found myself feeling depressed, so I stopped blogging, talking to people, doing things I enjoyed just basically existing and taking care of everyone else but myself. That's one of the reasons for the 90 Day Challenge, I am getting back to me.

Anyway here are a few picture of the kids since I have not posted any in a while.

New Family Members

As if we don't have enough to do we now have 3 new pups. One was going to be Ash's but she decided to bring her back which is fine the kids love Luna!! Lucy and Luna are both Chi Poo's and Sir Dandy is our Yorkie Poo.

90 Day Challange

blogging

I am going to start trying to blog again, it has been a busy season in life. Since this chapter is done I am thinking of making a book from the whole adoption life and starting a new one updating on the kids here and there and life in general. I am not sure I even have any readers anymore, I know lots of people have moved on from blogs and blogging, just have to see what I can come up with. I will put a update on the kids in a few day!

At Long Last

TnT are finally American Citizens!!!!!!!!! So relieved to be done with something that should of been finished so long ago! S went to SS office Monday and as soon as they show up in the computer their cards will be issued! I am so relieved that we can add them back to insurance and not stress so much if they get sick! Thank you Lord!

Birthday Girls and Engagement

This past weekend was Tessa's 7th and Megan's 20th birthday. We went to the bowling arcade for some fun on Saturday. On Sunday Megan stopped by to show me her ring and her news! Really happy she has found someone who makes her sooooo happy!

Finally

Sunday at Ashley and James townhouse. They cooked lunch for us and James' parents and we got to see their place for the 1st time. Kids really enjoyed playing with their dog named Bella. Lunch was great and we really enjoyed our time with them. We also celebrated James bday and Ash graduation which is this friday.

3rd Place

Continuing the weekend the kids and I watched the drivers on Saturday and I returned to the banquet Saturday night with S. He placed 3rd in his division so no Orlando trip:(

Mother's Day weekend

We had a really busy weekend. The Truck driving competition is always on Mother's Day weekend so that had been planned for a while. A little wrench was thrown in when Tamar's class decided to do a program on Friday for Mom's day, was planning on keeping them home so we could watch S drive. We didn't get to see S drive but Tamar's program was good and she really enjoyed us coming.

Little One's room

Well as I told before we ended up moving kids around again so now John and Bella share a room. I wanted to find something that was not just for one of them but for both, but not to girly. I think I found the perfect bedspreads/quilts for now. They were a steal at G**dWill at 12/16 dollar one twin one full.

Also John just got glasses. He was diagnosed as near sited when we had his eyes checked last year and he is getting ready for the next school year and could not pass the vision part of his physical. We were really afraid he was color blind but just delayed.

Girls Room

Finally finished the girls room and they love it. I ended up moving Tnt together because John was keeping Tessa up all night asking for water, bathroom breaks and his famous me hungry. There is no way he is hungry the boy eats a ton and has grown 6 1/2 inches to prove it. The girls picked these out in a store and I was able to order them online for the price of one with a coupon so that was awesome savings!

I have found something for John and Bella that is pretty awesome also and will post when I am done fixing their room;)

Birthday

We celebrated my birthday on Monday, a day early while Ashley was here watching the kids. I had an upper GI on Monday so Ash came and watched John and Bella for us.

Blessings needed

Spring Break

The kids are on Spring Break this week. I was hoping to do some fun stuff but we have been cleaning and moving the kids into their own rooms. (About time huh??) S is on the road so when I say we I mean Tamar and I are doing the work. Yesterday we moved twin bed into Meg's old room for Bella, then took the queen apart and moved it into D's room, we took D's full size bed and moved it into the room with Bella so her and Tamar can share a room. I finished Tessa's bed over the weekend and moved John's toddler bed into Tessa's room so they can share. When the kids went to bed last night it only took 2 seconds for them to fall asleep! Big Sis Ashley is coming tomorrow and we are going to look for new bedding for their rooms. Tamar is super excited!!! I just hope we can find something that don't cost a fortune! She is really wanting the Owl's that we seen at Tar j a few weeks back but they were a little pricey.

In other new John lost his first tooth on April 1st:) It just does not seem like he is old enough to loose teeth.I guess because his maturity level does not match his age. When going to the doctor last week he had grown 6 1/2 inches and the doc was really pleased with that.

I will try and update with room pictures tomorrow!!

Fun with Meg

While I was laid up in the hospital getting iv's the kids were at home having fun with Meg. She totally got them off schedule, let them eat late, play late and go to bed late oh boy. Some things are just out of my control sometimes, but they had a blast!

MIA

I have been MIA on the blog for a while. Just not in the mood I guess and something always going on.

We had a yard sale this past weekend and did ok on it, I was just happy to have Ash home for a weekend:)and so were the girls. We packed up the left overs and sent it all to Goodwill this is big I like to hold onto to much junk but I just let it all go S was more than happy to load up the van and get rid of it all! 10 lawn bags full and a couple of boxes gone.....

Next I am going to work on moving Tamar into Meg's old room. She is never home much anyway and if she it's for laundry or to crash in my bed LOL. Mt little peanut Tessa might even be willing to move into the room with Tamar. She has been sleeping by her self now for a month in a toddler bed beside my bed. This is a big thing for her!! She has slept with me since Haiti over 3 years ago. YEAH TESSA!

I am still trying to loose weight but the By..ette did not work for me it made me so sick. I tried another new med that did not work either and landed me in the hospital because I couldn't keep my food down. If I didn't have diabetes this would not of been such a problem but sugars kept dropping and I became dehydrated. I was really lucky that S was home and Meg was not working and could come watch the kids. We went to the after hour clinic and they sent me strait to the hospital for IV's. They also check my gallbladder but it was ok. I took a couple of bags of fluids with two different nausea meds and was finally released around 2:30 am. S and I were totally beat from the 9 1/2 hour ordeal. I am just starting to feel better, still feeling a little bit weak but hopeful to feel great tomorrow.

Beautiful

I love warm weather and the beauty of all the flowers blooming. (Minus the allergy effect it's killing us all.)Mostly I love my beautiful kids and family!
