New Years Eve

I just wanna say that I am very excied for tonight. A night out with out the kids, just me and Jake. I do feel kinda bad we took Kyndal to the Dr. today cause she has had a nasty cough, but didn't think it was anything bad. But come to find out she had a sinus and ear infection. Nice, first one ever. The Dr. did say that the ear infection hasn't set in yet thats why she is still acting normal for the most part. No pain yet. But Im sure with some good meds in her she will be back to normal soon. I also had an appt today. Let just say I won't have to worry about anything for atleast 5 years. LOL :) Unless we want another one. :) We will see. But it is nice to know that I don't have to worry about taking anything everyday. We are just praying that I don't go *itchy with the hormones. They sometime do that to me. My Dr. said that things work different because of the placement of where they are. So if you start seeing some nasty blogs you might wanna give Jake a call and make sure he is still alive. LOL j/k :) Well Im off to get the girls packed and ready for Grammys house.

The Girls!!

Kyndal & Allyson

Relaxing Day.

Well today was the first Saturday that we have had nothing at all to do in a long time. It was nice to sleep in late with the family and just spend time together. I can't wait for some more days like this.

One Voice Christmas pics.

Just a couple of pics, mostly of Kyndal cause she is so cute:)

Footsteps...

Well yesterday we sang at the service for Dave C. It was a wonderful service. I do believe Dave would of been very pleased to hear what people said about him. It sure was a celebration of his life!!! I always wonder what people would say at my funeral. I know that sounds weird but you can’t say you have never thought of it.?? You know as long as they have something to say. I guess I’m good, lol :). Honestly listening to the way Dave lived his life really makes me wanna make sure I’m living mine in the same way. So I can touch lives and share Jesus with others. I mean that’s why we are here. To share the Gospel. So I think we all need to follow in Dave’s footsteps!!!

Long Day.

Today was a long COLD, colder with the wind,day. After running around in Concord; getting jeans for Jake, returning stuff, and getting Mics for One Voice. I’m TIRED!!! Plus once I got home at about 4:30 we had to get ready to go to One Voice practice at 6:00. So that was feed Ally pack the bag to go back out. Hurry and cook dinner, scarf it down and after all that hurrying be late. But I do have to say that that blocking went very well. I was ready for another late night but we were home before 9 well except for Jake :). I did manage to get some Christmas cards in the mail too. I have more to do and send tomorrow. Ohhh I forgot church was canceled Sunday cause of the mass of snow and wicked wind. So Jake and I braved it ad FINALLY did our Christmas shopping. I honestly don’t remember half of the things we bought but its done. I’ll check them all out when I got to wrap them. Well tomorrow is another long day with the funeral. One Voice is singing at it so that will be really nice. And then of coarse One Voice again tomorrow. I’ll let you know if we survive the week.

A Better Place

Well this week has been kinda rough. One Wednesday we heard that a good friend of the family passed away, Bruce Brown. I didn’t know him that well but I did know his daughter and her family. Then early Friday morning we got word that Dave Constance had passed. A wonderful man that was involved in One Voice with us. Its just so hard to imagine a lose this time of year, or anytime. The best part it that we know that these two men will be celebrating Jesus’ birth a whole new way this year. A way that we will never know until we get to heaven. They are definitely in a better place. I wonder what it must be like to be with Jesus on this Birthday????

Will it ever slow down??

Well Im not really sure what I did yesterday. It all kind of went really fast. I do know that I only saw Jake for about 15 min. maybe. After coming home he had to go to worship team practice and then back to work. Him and Josh had to drive a truck back to Lebanon. He didn’t get home and to bed till 4am. So needless to say he is still sleeping. So much for everything we were suppose to do today. His job is really frustrating me. We haven’t gone Christmas shopping yet, hes just so busy we don’t have time. And all next week we have One Voice every night. So who knows when its going to get done, if it does. Maybe we will just skip Christmas this year. I can’t wait till next year so things can slow down a bit. Tonight we have One Voice again, and a production meeting after so we are going to be out late. I guess the good thing is that we will be together.

What you can do away from the Computer......

Well for my self. I haven’t done much of anything since, well it started when we got this laptop and then got worse when my parents came to help before Ally was born. So this morning I decided that I would only get on the computer when the girls where napping. Which I did just to check my email. In the mean time away from the computer I’m very proud to say that I accomplished……. Putting the mounds of clothes away in ALL 3 rooms; cleaned ALL 3 rooms; cleaned down stairs by putting the piles of stuff away that just didn’t get where it belongs; mopped the floor and vacuumed, which actually made Ally stop crying and then of course start again after I was done. So now I feel like I have a fresh start on things and feel some what better. I haven’t cleaned like this since before my mom came and did the cleaning for me. I got Lazy!!! But I can do it, even with 2 kids. A clean house is soooooooo RELAXING!!!!!!

Dirty Laundry!!!

I will never understand why someone would build a house or apartment without a washer and dryer hook up. Ever had 4 people living in a house and not able to do laundry when they want. Let me tell you it piles up. Its an all day job. Thankfully, the in-laws let us come over and do it here. So I don’t have to spend the money or the time sitting in some laundry mat with the kids. We even had a set when we moved up here but had to give it away. Why did I ever think it would not be a big deal to not have one. Who knows?? The one request I have for next place we live, which better be soon, is a washer and dryer in my own home. Ever had spit up and poopy clothes sit of a week????

Learning to Let It Go!!!

Well, when the first baby comes your up tight for a few day and then you learn to relax and let things so. But for me now that number 2 is here I do let things go but I feel like I worry more about her. Maybe its cause we are in a totally new place than when we had Kyndal so its not the same. Who knows? I actually called the Dr. today to question a runny nose ( but its not actually running, :P) We have all had a runny nose for weeks now and of course have done nothing for it. So I just need to relax and don’t sweat the small stuff.

Peer Pressure!!

Okay! Well as the people of the “Blog” word keep multiplying they keep trying to suck me in. So I figured why not give it a try and see if I can keep up yet another website full of information. This is just the beginning!!!!
