Milestones
I'm so pleased that before Eden's 3 month old birthday she was able to roll from stomach to back, look from side to side, follow voices and people in the room. Lift's head with control, sit's up with some supervised help. She also is trying too sit up by herself....trying to pull herself up. She is sleeping 6-8 hours at night, in her own bed, in her own room...... I might add. :) She is just a sweet mild mannered baby. I'm so pleased with her development..I seriously think she will be walking before she is12 month's old.
Mommy and Daddy's favorite things to do
So Aaron asked Ava what was his favorite thing to do? She said " sleeping and working". Aaron is not a workaholic but I think they just miss him. Aaron also asked her,What was mommy's favorite thing to do? She said, spanking us and cooking...and I honestly don't spank as much as I should. No I'm not a child abuser either...but I do discipline my children and spanking is last resort for me. Anyway, I thought the things she thought was our favorite things were quite funny.
Quotes
God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.—George Whitefield
Robert M. McCheyne quote--"If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet, the distance makes no difference; He is praying for me."
There will be no universal peace until the Prince of Peace appears." ~ J.C. Ryle
"People don't necessarily want to know what we believe about the Bible. They want to see if what we believe makes a difference in our lives.
Our actions either bring honor to God or misrepresent His truth.
"If the LORD be with me, it matters little who may desert me. If the LORD be with me, I shall conquer in the battle of life, and the greater my trials the more glorious will be my victory.
How can I be sure that the LORD is with me? For certain He is ...with me if I am with Him. If I trust in His faithfulness, believe His words, and obey His commands, He is assuredly with me." C. Spurgeon
"FRIENDSHIP" isn't about who you've known the longest. It's about who came along & NEVER left your side....
Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.-- Lewis B. Smedes
You have to give something to get something!

Life~
I've been lacking seriously on my blog. I've just been sooo extremeley busy being a Mother,Wife, and Daughter of God the best that I can be right now. Just staying busy, I find moments where I have the chance to blog but I'm usually pulled away suddenly by the sweet sounds of children: Asking to be tucked in for the 3rd time. Or, the moment where I lay my precious baby girl down and soon as I tip..toe..out of the room she alerts me to come and continue to comfort her. I'M LOVING every Minute.
I feel extremeley BLESSED to be in this season of my life. I know NOW it does not last FOREVER and this time is to be Treasured immensley.
Well, I'm sure since I last wrote, I've been the birthday party planner. Everyones birthday in my household has passed, so I have not had time to think about my upcoming celebration. Which is in fact in 2 days. I actually mentioned to my husband last night that I felt in that moment that since I've been so wrapped up in planning his birthday, Gabrielle birthday and just recently Ava's birthday, that my birthday just seemed like another day. Suddenly in the moment I said " I shouldn't feel that way." I should feel excited..it's a time to celebrate MY LIFE. My life that THE LORD has blessed me with. So with that in my mind, my husband and I are planning to go out to dinner and I like/haven't been to the gun range so we have that planned for my birthday. YEY!! So I'm excited to have another year to celebrate. A time of reflection for me really..on how much the LORD has blessed our lives and time to reflect on my life.

my little Ms. Ms......
I.am.ABSOLUTELY in LOVE with Ms. Eden Olivia Button. She is simply the BEST. She lets me sleep for the most part. When she wakes, she crys to let me know she is hungry for a min or so and once I pick her up and she is searching to nurse she is also smiling. SHE is such a HAPPY BABY!!! So content and laid back. She will do whatever you are doing with no complaints. She just likes to be with you and we LOVE to be with her.

First time for everything
So Aaron and I have been married for 7 years and tonight is the first night that I've ever made Chicken Marsala. Good thing I decided to cook it this 7th year of marriage and not the 1 st it would have been a disaster.
Heehee! :)
Here is the recipe:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour for coating
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded 1/4 inch thick
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup cooking sherry
Directions
In a shallow dish or bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper and oregano. Coat chicken pieces in flour mixture.
In a large skillet, melt butter in oil over medium heat. Place chicken in the pan, and lightly brown. Turn over chicken pieces, and add mushrooms. Pour in wine and sherry. Cover skillet; simmer chicken 10 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink and juices run clear.
