What is new!












Ok here it is in the end of July and I am just now getting on here to fill everyone in! Well we did have some great moments this summer! We left on the 6th of July for our trip to South Carolina, and we got back on the 24th! We drove on to Little Rock and Picked up Hayden, through Tenn. on to NC then into SC. WE were going to stop and see my Grandfather but right before we did we found out four people in our Church had tested positive for N1H1 virus! Swine flu was bad in our church right as we left! Four people were tested positive, but quite a few others had all the symptoms just were not tested! So we barely missed that. But we did not want to infect my Grandfather who has COPD and a weak heart! Not a good combo! So we traveled on the my Dad and Moms in Clover! Was a fun trip! Does anyone remember the show with Sally fields the Flying nun? I love it and John and I found it in a Cracker Barrel along the way! LOL It is so cute! well we made it to my families! We had some very funny days in the pool, and juts relaxing time before my brothers wedding! John and I got to travel down to Augusta to see My friend Lindsay and Steve. Lindsay and Emma were in a terrible Accident. Their house blew up and they were put in the hospital in June. Steve and Lindsay lost a son in the accident. Emma is still in ICU for care for her burns. Lindsay and Emma are doing great and progressing so fast! Pray they will have a swift and painless recovery, and physical therapy.
My brother and his wife had a beautiful and Godly wedding on the 18th. I will post pictures soon on FB. We left Sunday after church to head to Waco Texas for our Youth Conference. That was a wonderful week of activity and Services with Godly Men. We had quite a few teenagers get saved and make decisions to serve the Lord more. We had a greatest time there. it is one of the best weeks of the year! Now I am up todate I think! oh wait! We have orders to Fort Polk, LA We report before Oct. 1st. and We are Praying Hayden will be with us for good. Hayden has made the decision to come live with us full time, please pray that his mother allows this to go through without going to court. Well I believe we are caught up now. Asher is one and very full of himself! Adina is a stinker and such fun to interact with! Ananiah has glasses now and is so smart! Hayden is turning into such a young man is scaries me! His voice has changed, and he is taller then me. He is very smart and I hope one day he will use his full potential. I love my children more then life and am so proud of them! My husband is a wonderful man and I love him very much!

Yes I am a slacker!

Ok so Facebook has all my attention! I have been really busy! Let's see where we left off it was beginning of April! Lots has happened since then and it is late, I don't remember it all! I will update this blog soon! I know the newest news is we are moving coming end of Sept. WE have a report date of 1 Oct. to Fot Polk Louisiana. To all those who think it will be bad please keep all neg. thougths and comments to your self please! We are trying to be positive about this move! It will be very hard to leave Texas! This is the only places our Children have known. We moved here when Ananiah was only 9 mths old, the other two were born here. This is the only house they remember as well as the only Church family they remember! So it will be very hard transition for them and Us. Please pray for us as we prepare to move! We want our house to sell soon. Thank you to all those who will pray for us! I will fill in the last three months soon!

Ok here is the month of March and beginning of April catchup~!! Well I guess you guys know I am not much for spelling and at times my fingers get ahead of my brain so forgive me when there are silly type-o's! Well Lets see where to start! Might as well start with filling everyone in on Shannon and my Nephew Ezra! Well Shannon got Prego a while back and had Ezra on the 22nd of Jan. He was a wapping 5 pounds and 5 ozs. So tiny but so darling! When we got home that is the first thing the girls wanted to see was their cousin Ezra! They came over for a while and we all got to hold him! He looks so little but man can he scream! Lol! I will be updating info on him as well here because as most of you guys know the more babies I can get my hands on the better and happier I am! I love Children and some people even call the me the crazy kid lady! I love having more children over here then most people can stand to be around! I would take a few home with me on Wed. nights or when ever they want to come! I babysit as many as I can handle! Anyway on to Ezra! well he is two months old now and he is living here with us so it is fun to have him around Ananiah loves holding him and helping Aunt Shannon with him whenever she lets her! The girls love Aunt Shannon and love to be around her! She is nervous and hovers when I take Ezra away from her! I have to or she will never let me hold him! She is stingy with him! She is turning out to be a rather good mommy! We are very thankful for that and that she is doing so much better! some of you know the whole story, for those of you who don't very long very complicated! Any how! Adina is as always my stinker! she is doing well from her surgery and never really talks about it! It is almost like it never happened, unless you try to touch her scars! Which I only do when I wash her! She is extremely active and never seems to fear much when it comes to playing. However she fears things on TV like the bad guys in a cartoon! She always comes running to find me and hides behind me when the scary parts come on or the bad guys are talking in the movies! Most of you know we monitor what they watch very closely and they never watch anything scary so it is quite funny when she watches things like the Fox and the Hound. She runs when they chase the fox and runs when the old man is mad and runs when they are arguing! She is quite the little chicken when it comes to movies! She loves Strawberry shortcake movies and they do not have bad guys most of the time! I thought that is what we were going to do again for her birthday but she chose Littlest Pet Shops this year and it was a hit! She loves her new pet shop toys! She plays rather nicely alone in there with them! Ananiah however is a carbon copy of her father and is never still, never wants to stay home, and is always Talking (yes I know she got that from both sides! LOL!) She is very bossy these days and always wants to go somewhere or have someone over to our house! She would invite the Church over everyday if she could! I have to admit I love company as well! So I guess she gets it double! Ananiah is very helpful and sweet natured most of the time. Both girls love school and are learning well!(when we get around to doing it) Admittedly we have not been regular in our school time! Which I am trying hard to get better on! Well Asher still has double ear infections and is on stronger meds. So we will see! He is very fast crawling and he is also trying to walk! He stands up by himself and he has great balance! He stands up well and with out holding onto anything now! Any day now he will just take that first step! Yes I know he is too young for it at only 9 1/2 months walking should be farther off but I fear he is going to be faster then his sisters! He is already saying Hunter, Dada, Momma (only sparingly though) Dina and Niah, He also says All done and he has a deep growl when he does not get his way! He does bite sometimes which is mostly me on the receiving end! I have weened him mostly he has only nursed once in four days which is pretty good. That might be the cause of his biting! He is not happy about it! I nursed both girls until their first birthday but Asher has more teeth and is seemly a bit meaner then they were! Well I have done allot today I will try to get on here and update you on their Easter and the rest of the month soon! Please keep John and all the other soldiers in your prayers!

March

Well the end of march is coming fast and there have been so many changes! I have not really had time to get on here and write anything! I am struggling to remember everything that has happened since we came home! Well in the last post I mentioned Ashers fevers! He had them for going on three weeks! I took him to the Doctor many times and to no avail there seemed to be no other symptoms? He is much better now! We found out he has double ear infections and thrush! Fun stuff! Our regular doctor found some white stuff growing in his throat and it seems to be why he was not eating very much for some time! Well he is getting bigger fast now he is back to eating everything! He now has five teeth! The upper three came in only a few days apart! With being sick having three teeth come in and ear infections he was not a happy camper! He seems to be getting back to normal now! I am trying to ween him now and he is not happy about that but so many teeth and he is quite strong willed, which is becoming apparent. Well Now on to his sisters! They love to make Asher laugh and they have a tendancy to be a bit rough with him, but the louder and rougher they are the funnier he seems to think it is! Adina is three now she just had her birthday and she is growing so fast! She is counting to 12 well and knows all her colors and her letters. She follows Ananiah around and they play so well together! They like to have their friends over so at any given time I have one or two extra kids running around! Wed. night I had five little girls here and two baby boys. Asher is much bigger then his cousin Ezra but they are both sooo cute! Well it is bed time now an dI will try to update you more on the whole clan! We miss the two big kids since we did not get to see them this spring break but I guess we will have to wait until summer! Teenagers now and too busy for us! LOL! Oh well keep Hayden in yoru prayers he busted his head open again! not the first time and I am sure not the last he is fine not even enough of a cut for more then two staples! Ananiah is singing everything and even learning new sons everyday! She loves to sing all the time! The MP3 players they got for Christmas are getting good use!
