Happy Birthday Madelyn

Well, we had an awesome weekend. Madelyn will be 5 on Wednesday so we had her birthday on Saturday. We have a great time. We got our nails done on Saturday with my mom and that was really fun and great to take time to do something special with me being so busy lately. Really a nice time. We had a Hello Kitty birthday and it was great. Lots of nice time to talk and relax with family. We sat by our new firpit and that was great. Wishing my Madelyn an awesome week. Macie will turn 2 1/2 on Friday and I like to make half cupcakes for that. And Friday evening we have 4 little kids coming over for a birthday party for Maddi so that should be busy and fun. Maddi got a bouncer for her birthday so that should keep them busy. God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy 5th Birthday to Maddi. We celebrated her birthday which is really Wednesday the 13th on Saturday. A Hello Kitty Cake that I made and decorated myself. A Mock Angel food cake and it tasted good. I was happy. Lots of work but I felt like a real mom making her child a cake.

Everyone is enjoying the birthday present the bouncer.....think it will be good to keep them busy. We laughed that it would be the blow up babysitter while we enjoyed the fire pit!

God is Good

Today I had a very frightening start to my day. This is the closest to death that I think that I have came and I am so thank ful for a second chance at life. I was heading to work this morning and it was around 4:45 am. Drinking my coffee and listening the my christian music just absorbing God's grace and thinking of all the good things God has gave me like my wonderful family and 2 beautiful girls. And I came up over a hill and thought this semi looked sort of funny and realized very quickly that the semi was in my lane heading right toward me. So I was not sure what to do and this all happened within seconds. I started heading toward the ditch and honking my horn and I closed my eyes and I seriously have no idea how he missed me. He was heading right towards me and made a sharp turn and missed me by millimeters. So I stopped and caught my breath and thanked God for a second chance on life today. The only way to explain it was the Grace of God saved me today and I am going to take this experience and learn from it and hear what God is telling me and listen to what he wants me to do. I am so thankful tonight for living. God Bless you tonight. Be thankful for every second in your life because within seconds it could all have changed. Sending my love. And thank you God.

Suprise Visit

We had a great weekend, we worked on the backyard and I worked a lot on the house with Madelyn's 5 year old birthday coming next weekend. We had a suprise visit today from the Elness family. The kids had a great time playing in the pool and it was so fun to see them together. Thank you so much for coming over Elness family. Today was the daughter Kendra's birthday so would have been 8 years old. She has been gone for almost 7 years in October. She was an amazing little girl. She taught us a lot of life lessons in her short time. Lessons that we will never forget. God Bless you.
