Pictures

Okay, I really wanted to post some Easter pics, but for some reason I can't find the file on my computer...stressing right now because I think I deleted some of my Easter pics from my camera!!! At any rate, below are some pics from Trent's cousin's wedding this past weekend. It was so beautiful! Congratulations Jeremy and Laura and thank you for letting us be a part of it! (Brayden was the bell ringer and Trent was a groomsman)

Spring Break/Happy Easter

Last week was a lot of fun! It was chaotic, but fun. We had a lot of family time doing nothing but painting, cooking, reading and watching movies.
On Thursday my newest nephew was born! Nolan James was 8 lbs 5 ozs and 21 inches long! He's such a cutie! He looks more like Carrigan than Weston. I'll post some pictures later.
On Friday night, Brayden and I made Resurrection cookies! If you have never made them and have children, grandchildren, or a young Sunday School group this might be something fun to do! Check out the recipe online http://www.annieshomepage.com/resurrectioncookies.html Needless to say, Brayden can still tell you parts of the story about Jesus' death, burial and resurrection! We definitely have a little Peter as when we were discussing how the men beat Jesus, he kept saying he wanted to hit those mean men and was swinging the wooden spoon that we were using to break the pecans up. At any rate, I just highly recommend this activity for the lesson (and the cookies aren't too bad...they taste kind-of like divinity)
Saturday we spent the day coloring and hunting Easter Eggs. We had an egg hunt at our church at 2 and then we went to my grandad's for dinner and had yet another hunt.
Sunday morning we went to church, then had lunch with my family and dinner with Trents. And of course...2 more Easter egg hunts! I'll have to post pictures later, but the boys were so cute in their matching outfits!

New Adventure...

Okay, so I've decided that I want to take advantage of this whole looking for money thing by selling the things that I love to do. I am currently starting a blog where I can give some previews of the things that I can do...ie: photography, cakes, and gifts (baskets and such)...if you are interested, you can check out the blog that I've started goodiesnmore.blogspot.com I'm not sure if this will take off or not, but if it does, hopefully I will create a website for it in the future. I haven't quite decided on pricing for the photography, so if you're interested check with me and we'll see what we can work up. Once I come up with something I will post it on the other blog!

Update on the homefront: Trent still hasn't found a job, but God is good and has provided me with opportunities to do some overtime at work and make some extra money! Brayden is doing great (without the 2nd set of tubes!) Asher is doing wonderful (with the 1st set of tubes!) All in all God is Good and Blesses us each and every day...we just have to take the time to Open our Eyes and see it!

Prayer Request

Where to begin...Please keep my cousin Ashley and her son Will in your prayers. Ashley developed pre-elcampsia and was told that they were going to have to take her baby at only 28 weeks. Fortunately, they were able to keep Ashley's blood pressure down long enough to be able to get some steroid shots in before having to take him. This morning they planned the c-section at 8:00 and little Will came at 8:11 am. He weighs 2.02 pounds and is only 14 inches long. He is truly a miracle baby. They said that he will probably come off the ventilator either tonight or tomorrow morning! This is amazing since we were expecting it for at least a couple of days. But please keep the whole family (Ashley, Mark (Ashley's husband), Will and the extended family) in your prayers. Will still has a long road ahead of him and Ashley still has a lot to go through before she'll be back on her feet. I am just asking that you'll be praying for everyone!

Some recent fun we've had...at the park, then in the snow, then back at the park!!!

This weekend we went to the park with some friends...

Brayden and Asher had so much fun...we had a play date with Abbey and her mommy and daddy, but Brayden found some boys (Diesel and Jake) to play with while we were there...

Brayden didn't understand that he couldn't walk under the swings...he and Abbey bumped and he busted her mouth...he was so sweet because he didn't understand and he kept saying he was sorry and he didn't mean to hurt Abbey, he even said a prayer for her last night when we said our prayers...

I just loved this picture of Abbey...and it was funny to me seeing the difference of a baby laughing down a slide and Brayden who just looks like such a big boy going down!!!

Below are the pics of the snow...Asher wasn't too much of a fan, but Brayden had a blast!

Brayden had fun throwing snow balls...unfortunately for me and Asher, we became the target!

This was our first trip to the park that we found...it was a bit chilly, but definitely didn't see the snow coming the following week! We made this trip with Uncle Paul...

Boys just wanna have fun!!!

Update...

Just a few pictures since I never added any...I'll have to upload the pics from the snow, but who know's when that will happen! :)

Okay...so here's the latest with everything else....

Asher is going to have to get tubes on March 19th, but Praise the Lord - - - Brayden's surgery has been postponed to April 7th and hopefully indefinitely!

Trent is still searching for a job. Please pray for God's will to be opened up to him so that he knows where he is supposed to go.

My mom is still not doing well. They are afraid that she may have a mass on her kidney's and she apparently has busted some of her stitches?

And Shae is doing ok. She is going to the doctor sometime this week. They believe she may have chrone's disease...we'll hopefully find out sometime this week.

As for me...I'm just working and trying to keep it together for my family. Please pray that God will open up opportunities for us to find creative ways to save money and make money. I've thought about trying to do some photography on the side, but I am not sure if that's going to pan out...

Until next time...

Family Update

Okay...so we have had a LOT going on recently....for starters, Trent lost his job on February 4th! It was totally unexpected, so please keep us in your prayers! Then, along with the news, my momma had to have a total hysterectomy on Monday and is still recovering from her surgery and will be for several weeks. Then there's Brayden...he has an appointment on the 25th and is most likely going to have tubes and his adenoids removed on March 5th. Then there's Asher...he is having a lot of troubles with his ears as well and is going to the ENT on the 26th and we'll be exploring the possibilities of tubes with him as well! Needless to say, we've had quite a bit going on recently and that's the reason I haven't been able to post recently.
I am going to be posting some pics soon of the boys! They're growing up so quickly and it's so funny seeing how they are starting to interact!!!
