Womens Retreat 09'

WOW. That's all I can say. I got so much out of this weekend. Not only did I meet some amazing women...including my idol..hehe :) but I also met with God and he poured so much into my heart. The speaker, Chrissie Dunham, was AWESOME!! She reminds me so much of Paula Dean! (Shanna pointed that out..great comparison!) She is very southern and sister, she will put a flame under you! I truly grasped the importance of deciding every single morning whether or not to Love God and Others or to Love myself. I mean I always new what to choose but I never verbally expressed my decision to the Lord in prayer. Because we all now we need His help to accomplish this! I had my quiet time with the Lord this morning, first time I have done it in the morning. I normally do it at night. But I decided to get my rear up and just do it! I was given this verse,

"Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content" Philippians 4:11 and then a passage on Contentment.

The Lord knows right where we are and I am so thankful for that. I have been so discontent!! Let me just say that I learned a lot this weekend and left there feeling awesome BUT I must be honest when I say that it is hard to be amongst a ton of AMAZING women and not feel a bit envious. I find myself wanting what I don't have whether it be something tangible or even wanting the peace and joy that I see others walking in. The Lord really spoke to me this morning and told me that I am right where I need to be and in the place I am in is where my Lord is. So I should be content with Him, right here :) Thank you Jesus for such a great weekend with such wonderful women! Blessings!!

Project 52 ~ Week 1

So I am starting my first week of Project 52!! I tried to do one with both but they were not havin it today! Ill try tomorrow and maybe I can add it :) Here are my two precious blessings..

Project 52 Challenge

Ok fellow blogger addicts, I just recently got in touch with a dear old friend. Isn't facebook just good like that! HA! Anyhow, she is also a fellow "way more seasoned" blogger, Shannon. I was reading hers yesterday and came across this challenge she just started. I LOVED the concept! So I am officially copying! She said we could :) So here it goes...

We all love posting pictures of our little kidos on our blog, correct? We blog about their achievements, their hard times, their set backs, how cute they are, how big of stinkers they are... and so on. But how many of you are good about taking pictures of you AND your little kidos??
NOT ME!! I honestly have very little photos of me with the two lil buggers. The rest are of just Cooper, just Gracie, the two together or with their daddy. So the challenge is to take a memorable photo of you and your kid/kiddos ONCE A WEEK, post it and blog about it. It doesn't matter what day of the week, just once a week. You will do this for a year...sounds like a long time but come on guys, we all know we can't break this blogging addiction in a year! :) We will call it, Project 52 Challenge, again stolen from Shannon!

Also, for those of you who don't have human kidos, but have fur babies...you are not exempt :)

Shannon put it so well, "I promise I wont be mad if you don't do it, and I wont leave you mean comments if you don't do it (well, I might)." HA!

So today I am gonna make it a point to take a picture with the kidos!!

Alright I'll tag ya just in case you don't think I'm talkin to ya!

4's

1. Choose the 4th folder in which you store pictures in your computer.

2. Choose the 4th picture.

3. Explain that picture.

4. Tag 4 people.

Ok so mine is not as cool..HA! This is a picture of one of Logan's cows. The fourth folder contains all the cattle photos that he uploads to this ranch management software. It is how he keeps up with all of them. So bloggers this here is #14 and Logan tells me she breeds a pretty good calf :)

And I am gonna go with Kelsie's idea and just say that whoever reads this is tagged :)

Easter 2009

Easter was a lot of fun! Logan, Cooper, and I all drove to Wichita Falls that morning and went to church with my family. It was really good to see everyone! We then ate at my parents house..brisket..yum!! Here is Coopman diggin into his Easter basket from Paps and Nonie.

He loved it!! We had to have a makeshift egg hunt...meaning it was inside..a lil different but it worked! He is Risen!!! Thank you Jesus for dying for me!

Oh and I also finally finished Coopman's birthday invites..I was so glad to get them in the mail and out of my sight!! They turned out pretty cute though..thank goodness!

Another update on Kyker... He is now stabilized!! He got to eat pizza the other day and loved it! He should have been moved to another floor yesterday but I have not heard so I won't say for sure. Thank you Jesus!!

Ohh and I can't forget..I have a new job!! I am now going to be watching sweet baby Eve, 4wks. at my home Mon-Fri. She is a sweet baby, very calm. Thank you Jesus ;) So far everything has been great. Coop has not shown much jealousy. Here is a picture..she is a doll!

Last but not least, I wanted to add some pics of our pokeno night with the girls. I had a lot of fun!!

Here is what I won, as you can see we are already using it!
