You are my Sunshine!

My sweet little Macie singing for me. She is so precious I just love to watch her. Her little personality just cracks me up right now. Something about being 2.

Open the eyes of the heart

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord

Open the eyes of my heart

I want to see you

I want to see you

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord

Open the eyes of my heart

I want to see you

I want to see you

To see you high and lifted up

shining in the light of your glory

Lord, pour out your power of love

As we sing holy,holy,holy

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord

Open my eyes

Open the eyes of my heart

I want to see you

I want to see you

To see you high and lifted up

shining in the light of your glory

Lord, pour out your power of love

As we sing holy, holy, holy,

Holy, Holy, Holy

Ever wish that you could change things that happen in the world and change the way you feel and the open your heart. Sometimes I wish I go through life with a open heart and take it all in and not have so many feelings about situations. Just be open hearted. A lot happens in life we have no control over and some that we do and at time it is so hard to figure out. I feel pain in my heart right now. I am struggling with many situations in my heart right now and it is really hard to figure out. I am turning to the one that I know is always there and truly understands me, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I hear this song on my long drive home when I was trying to figure out how my heart feels and this song really spoke to me. "Open the eyes of my hear". I actually pray for that everyday. To just be a better person that I was yesterday. More patient, more kind, stronger, a open heart, better mother, better daughter, better sister, better wife. What a goal that I strive for every day. And sometimes it feels unreachable. God Bless you all tonight.

We seem to be settling in from our vacation, it took a little while getting the kids back on the MN schedule again but it seems to be getting easier every day. I have been so busy at work that I have been leaving at 4:45 am and getting home at almost 8 pm. It will get better but we have a lot going on right now and I was made Hygiene Leader or supervision so that means I have more resposibility. So there are a lot of good things that go along with that. It is an exciting time. Just requires a lot right now.

We did get to enjoy Saturday together with family. We spent the day with my mom and Darryl at her camper and family was with us so that was a really good and enjoyable time. Enjoying the simply things in life.

Otherwise just getting ready for my Madelyn to be turning 5 in a couple weeks and getting ready for a birthday party. We are trying to finish up some projects in the backyard with some landscaping around the firepit. Now it is raining so working on it today. Not all bad.

God Bless you.

Meeting Elmo

And yes we were able to meet ELMO. Macie just loved him and well so did I. It was just by lucky that I found him without any crowd around him so we were able to take our time with seeing and touching Elmo it was just. And yes, for those of you that were there, just remember no friends at sea world you have to be out for yourself and family. Long story for the rest of you.

Madelyn and the Dolphins

Macie feeding Dolphins

Each girl was able to feed a dolphin and touch them. Pretty awesome experience. They loved it.

The Ocean

Here is a video of the ocean day. Maddi loved it and wanted to be in it all day. The water was a bit rough. Macie it took a while for her to like it but then she just wanted to be in all day also. Nice day at the beach.

Feeding a giraffe

we were able to feed the giraffe's at the zoo. Macie was not too sure about it by Maddi enjoyed it.

We are home!

Well, we are home. We made it to California and had a great time. I am starting to get the pictures organized I have like over 200 or something. I am trying to organize them to events so bare with me I will be downloading more but I need to go the store now because we have no milk and that is a must for my little Macie. Our trip went well and safe so we feel very blessed. I have lots of good pictures to share. We did alot in 7 days. Zoo, sea world, ocean, pool time and hanging with family at a Mexican restaurant, able to see a dear friend from high school that is living near my family. It was so awesome to spend time with her little girl Keala who is more beautiful in person. It was such a nice visit and so nice to be able to pick up like no time has passed. Sure does also make you sad that you only get to see friends and family once a year if that. The miles are not fair. But the positive way to think about this whole trip is that we were blessed to even be able to go and seeing family and friends once a year is better then not seeing them at all.
God Bless you all. And thank you to Jina for taking time to come and see us. We loved it and are so blessed to have a friend like you. And thank you to the Kloos family for spending 7 days with us and all that you did for us to make our stay awesome. Macie is already saying she wants to go back to "fornia".
