Correction.....

Breaking News...... apparently in my oversight I have left someone out in one of my recent blogs. Not that I did this intentionally BUT so no ones feelings get hurt I need to clarify things. My step brother in law Chris and his wife Julie are due to have their baby in February. They were accidentally left out of one of my recent blogs regarding family members who are pregnant and will be having babies this year. Life with 3 boys and a husband, home school, sports activities, church, friends, and basically just life in general has kept my mind in overload. I'm sure most moms can relate and understand. Stay tuned for an update in the coming month on the impending birth of Chris and Julie's baby boy who will be arriving soon. Hopefully by then I will be able to find out this sweet prince's name as I have not been successful in doing so yet.

Prayers For Harper


I am NOT savvy in blog land BUT I did want to add this to my page. Another blogging mommy named Kelly has just given birth to a baby girl named Harper, last evening. Harper was immediately flown to Tulsa OK to the NICU as she has pneumonia. From what I know she has a strong heart but needs all the prayers she can get from all the prayer warrior mommies. I am not sure how to post the link to her blog so here is her address: Kellyskornerblog.com

Pink Or Blue?


Let me start off by saying this........... NO I'm NOT pregnant, But I am very excited about some news to share. 2009 is going to be a VERY busy year I must say! My sister Elizabeth is due to have a baby girl in April, Halee (my sister in law) will be having their 4Th baby, my girlfriend Andria will be having her 3rd child . AND tonight I just received word that Susan (my other sister in law) is also expecting! Susan and her husband have been praying and waiting patiently for God to bless them with a child. So praise God there will be 3 new additions in the family this year and one amongst our church family. Praying many blessings upon these families in the coming months and may God be with them every step of the way through their pregnancies.

Disney Half Marathon



Today was the BIG day! One of my dreams came true. Steve and I competed in the Disney Half Marathon, 13.3 miles. Our journey began at an early time of 3:00 a. m. Luckily we booked a hotel room at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter and took along a babysitter for the boys. We boarded the bus headed for the START line @ 3:30 and basically hung out at the START line for 2 1/2 hours in the 50 degree chilly air. I will admit I have learned a lot from this experience. One being come prepared to be cold unless you bring a blanket and just toss it along the path when you start the race. Even thought we had on the right clothes, it was still COLD! The race itself was nothing short of amazing as there were hundreds of cheering crowds along the way, and not to mention all the Disney characters along the route. In the end Steve finished in 1 hr. 54 min and I finished in 2 hrs. 34 min. There was a total of 12,434 racers and I came in 6,308. This was the most amazing race I have ever been apart of and am looking forward to the Disney Marathon 2010! Anyone care to join?
