Our Princess is 2

The last 2 years have flown by!  I can't believe our little princess is 2.  I remember when she was born and I still couldn't believe we had a girl!  She has changed so much!  She has a got a personality on her! She is rambunctious, silly, needy for mommy's attention and just so much fun!  She is all over the place, there is no keeping up with her! Most of my pictures I take of her are smeared cause she likes to run all over the place!

 

 

This was her 1st birthday last year!

 

She finally started to get hair!

 

She liked pulling up her dresses!!

 

She finally has a head full of hair!!  I love her little looks she gives to people!

 

She has the prettiest smile!!! 

 

Happy Birthday to my princess Kyndal!

 

 

 

 

 

Give It All To Him

It's been a while since I've posted.  I've been real busy with my family and school or "LIFE". 

It's amazing how busy life can get.  We all have so much going on that takes priority.  Sometimes I think it is too much to juggle.  I'm waiting for the day I drop all the balls.  I think in our society today, we feel like we aren't complete unless we do everything.  I am really trying to give it all to God.  As much as I try to do everything myself, I end up making a big mess.  But when we trust God and give it all to Him, He leads us on our path.  Throughout history, we can see in the Bible where God just wants us to trust Him with our needs.  We had trouble with that then and we still struggle with that today.  I love reading through the Bible seeing all that He has done for us.  Miracle after miracle he performed for the Israelites and they still turned from Him and worshipped other gods.  These other gods did nothing for them and when they got in over their heads, they would cry out to God to save them.  It blows my mind, why they would ever worship anything else, but God.  These other idols did nothing for them, and they have seen what God does for them.  I am learning so much studying the old testament.  Humans screwed up then and we still do now. 

It's hard to give it all to Him, but I know I can't do it without Him!   
I came across this video that our church made a while ago, and it just shows how we are suppose to give all our struggles to God.  He's here for ALL OF US!!

September Update!!

Sorry, it's been so long since I've last posted anything on my blog!  I feel like we have been so busy lately! 
It feels like it has slowed down now that the 4 older kids are back in school.  It's weird just being home with my 2 youngest ones.  I love the time I have to spend with them.  Right now I am on Day 2 of potty training Kyndal!  I'm really hoping she gets this soon.  I know she is only 21 months, but I thought I would give it a try.  Tyler was potty trained before he was 2, Jacob was 3, Zach was almost 3, Logan was 3, and Mason was at 26 months!  So, I'm hoping she gets it because I'm tired of buying diapers!  Kyndal is getting so big!  We just recently took her pacifier away and she has adjusted to it well!  We just got her a toddler bed for her to start sleeping in.  I get it tonight!!

 Mason is loving getting lots of attention from mommy.  Him and Kyndal play so well together most of the time!  Logan started Kindergarten this year and he loves it!!  Zachary is in the 2nd grade!  He's a little disappointed, he told me he thought he would get to do more homework!  I told him, I'm sure that will be coming soon!  Jacob is in 5th grade at the intermediate school!  He's doing well there.  Tyler is in 7th grade at the junior high!  He is really enjoying it.  He just joined the chefs club, he loves to cook! 

This is a picture of us from our camping trip in late June!

I just recently decided to go back to college!  I registered at Indiana Wesleyan!  I'm going to do their adult learning program.  I'm going to work on my Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Studies! I should finish it within 2 years!  I'm very excited for the opportunity to go back to school!

Chris and I are both reading through the bible in 90 days!  Chris is on Day 19( i think), and I am on Day 3.  I love reading the bible in big chunks at a time.  I have learned so much already.  I've read through Genesis before, but so much more is sticking out to me this time that I have never noticed before! 

Hopefully I can do a better job with keeping up with my blog!!
