New toy!

This is officially Mark's favorite thing to play with as of right now. It's his box from the car that we bought him for Christmas. Scott cut some shapes out for him to get some light thru and had graffitied all over it w/123's and ABC's and a big sign that reads "No Girls Allowed."

Movies

This last Thursday while I went out w/the girls from Bible Study, Scott took Mark to see his first movie in the theathers. They went to see the movie "Bolt", as they walked in they were handed a pair of glasses...turns out this movie is 3D. So, now going thru Scott's head is "great! he is never going to keep these on!" For the most part he did keep them on, they stayed for about 45 of the movie. (previews alone take 15min!) Scott mentioned to me that he cried out for me when the light dimmed and it got dark, and he kept looking over to Scott (w/those silly glasses) saying he "wanted to go home" every so often. So, here is a pictures of Mark wearing those silly glasses.

Santa visits the Fire Station!

Santa visited the Fire Station this year as he does every year. Daddy went to pick up Santa with the fire truck and when he got to the staion he passed out candy-canes and presents. Mark was very polite and thanked Santa for bringing him some goodies. He is not scared like I was at his age. Here are some photos. (Yes, Scott's and Mark's mouths are "blue", they were eating candy-canes before the picture.) :)

Praise the Lord!

Thank you for all of your prayers for my mom. I have great news...the cancer did not spread out of the colon. So, this means my mom will go in for surgery and have 6in. of the colon removed, and that should be it. She may need chemo depending on how agressive the cancer was. I will keep you all up-dated as to when she goes in for surgery. Thank you again for all of your prayers. Have a blessed day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We went over to my bosses house for a delicious meal. His wife Alissa makes a fantastic corn casserole. After eating at their place they came over to our house to play some games. We played Clue (my least fav. game to play), and then we were introduced to a new game called "sequence"....Love this game!

-----that's them! (I took this photo of them)

This morning (Black Friday) Scott woke up at 3:30am to do some shopping at Kohl's for me, he also went to Toys R Us, where he said some worker had an anxiety attack before they opened the doors and he also went to Sam's. He got back at 6am to drop off the goods and then headed off to work. (Kudos to my husband who did all that for me while I slept soundly and warmly in bed.)

Prayer

I just found out this Friday that my mommy has colon cancer. We are still not sure how far along it is, she will hopefully find that out soon as she will be scheduled for surgery.
Please keep her in your prayers, as well as the family. She only has my daddy with her in Las Vegas, the rest of the family is scattered thru-out Europe (including my sister), and my family which is here in Texas. She is keeping a very positive attitude, it's my daddy that is more worried. I told them that I will be there in a heart-beat to take care of both of them if needed, well Mark would have to come along too, and he always know how to make someone feel better.
He will first try to kiss and blow the area that hurts and if that doesnt work he will take out the ice pack from the fridge and put it on your hurt. :) So please when you read my blog just stop and say a little prayer for her...thank you all sooo much! God bless you all!

Fall Festival Photo

Happy Harvest!

Hope you all had a Happy Harvest! Scott had to work so it was just me and Mark.
I dressed up as a "bed-bug" and Mark was a policeman. We went to our church's "Fall Festival", there was a bounce-house there (Mark's favorite), lots of games/activities and candy.
Mark didn't want to do much, just jump in the bounce house so we left a little early and came home to do a few houses of "trick-or-treating". That didn't last long either...he wanted to eat the candy as the people were passing them out and he would walk right in the home as they would answer the door! So, we made it down just one block. It was a great night for a walk, no wind and temp. in the low 70's.

We all have a saying...

Getting ready for church...

Birthday fun!

My baby boy is now a "big boy"..he is 3 years old! We had a great time at his birthday party which was held at our church's "family activiy center". There was 2 stories of fun! Roller-skating, bounce-house, pool table, air-hocky table, foose-ball, basketball, ping-pong...you name it! Lots of pizza and cake! We all slept well that night. Here are some photos:

Happy Birthday to Mark!

YO Gabba Gabba!

Mark has been watching his new favorite show: Yo Gabba Gabba...if you have never seen it, it's quite different. Strange host and ugly alien looking things. Anyway...he likes it and it teaches kids the right things to do and it's for his age level so we let him watch it. They always have a dance time on the show and todays guest had a "doddy dig" dance.
Well, it's Mark's nap time and he is in the guest bedroom and I hear him singing the song so I go in the room and I see him doing the dance...super cute! So here is the dance that he was doing...the 1st original that I saw was priceless but this comes pretty close.

Oh! What fun!

My handsome boy!

Hello?

"The number or code that you dialed is incorrect..."

"...please check the # you have dialed and try again."

"Beep! Beep! Beeep!"

Implants

I got implants today!



??????????????



Dental implants! In the pre-molar area on both sides. I had baby teeth there, but no perm. teeth underneath. I have to wait 3 months before I get a crown on them.

Pants falling down!

Ok..this is what he says: Look up, look down, look all around, your pants are falling down!

You can thank my husband for teaching him this!

They're back!

As many of you may have known, I was alone for an entire week! No husband and no child. Scott went to Indianapolis for some training and Mark went to his Aunt Amy's. Aunt Amy took him and her 3 kids to Arkansas to visit the family. It was a quiet week in the house w/them gone, but time went by very quickly. (By the time I knew it, it was 8pm...time for bed.)
I had great times w/the Lord and had a chance to really listen to Him.

Here are a few photos of Mark while he was away from his parents:

Yummy! Lets get messy!

God spoke VERY clearly to me:

Here goes my first attempt at writing :
It was the last service that Dr.Bill Anderson (interim pastor) would preach before the new pastor would arrive at First Baptist church. This was either in May or June. As I sat there in the pew w/my husband listening to the sermon God spoke to me saying "This is not your church home." I fought back.."how can this be? I haven't even heard the new pastor speak?" The more I fought the louder He spoke..."Discuss this w/your husband." I waited anxiously for service to be over. As my foot stepped into the car I asked Scott if he would like to try another church (Lamar baptist, that is where our neighbor is the pastor.) Scott's reply was "I always wanted to go there, but I didn't think you wanted to." WOW! The Lord was speaking to me, it wasn't my imagination!
I looked forward to that first Sunday at Lamar baptist. That Saturday night I listened to a sermon by.....Paul Washer (thank you Jesus! ...he helped me remember his name just now.) He was talking about "love" and when Christians have Christ in their life that love overflows to everyone they meet. I thought to myself.."I have never experienced such an overflow of flow from Christians."
So Sunday came and we headed off to Lamar church. As we stepped out of the car I told Scott that Mark would be our determining factor, he would have to be happy here.
Before entering thru the church doors we were greeted by a man holding a basket full of candy...BOY..did this make Mark happy. :) Mark went right into his classroom and started playing (my next door neighbors kids were in there too.) As Scott and I walked in to take our seats we were welcomed by soo many members. Hugs and handshakes were all around. "So this is that "love" that I heard about just the night before"
Now the music was not as up-beat as I am used to but it's not about me it's about HIM! Pastor Mike is an awesome pastor, Scott and I really enjoy listening to him.
Since going to this church I have gone alone on the days that Scott is working and I have been attending Sunday school for the very first time. I look forward to each Sunday and I look forward to joining the church very soon w/my husband.
At First Baptist I felt pressured to joining the church and if I joined I would have to volunteer
to do Child care, I hardened my heart to this idea and refused to join a church. Since then, the Lord guided us to a new church and has opened by heart to do HIS will and not the will of men. Praise God.
Holy Father, may I be like Abraham and always follow YOU wherever YOU want me to go.
-----comments are welcomed. Let me know how I did on my first writing attempt------------

PaPa not Grandpa

Here is a video of Mark saying hello to "Grandpa (PaPa) and Grandma". When saying hello to his grandpa he realizes that he didn't call him by his proper name and corrects himself. After he is done correcting himself he tells himself that he did good and goes on with the rest of his message.
