STATS !!

These two- my 2 babies. I took them to the doctor and Eden at 18 months is 27 lbs and Isaiah at 4.5 months is 20 lbs 8 ounce. Such a blessing for healthy children. The doctor did mentioned Isaiah has a heart murmur but it should go away and the murmur he has is pretty typical. Overall a good visit. Blessings !!!!!

She makes my heart melt.

Ava wrote this note to me last night on a paper towel. It really is the little things that make my day. I'm a happy and blessed momma .

Martha Stewart ?

So I belong to a MOPS group at my church and our care group leader for our table made us this cranberry bread loaf as a Christmas present. (our table has 6 moms at it.) I thought that was so thoughtful of her to do that for us individually. One of the other moms asked her if she made the loaves from scratch and she replied no, I am not Martha Stewart! I took what she said and quickly applied it to my life. At this moment in my life I have 4 children- 6,4,17 months and 4 months old. I feel like I'm at a short point in my life where I have 2 little babies that are very demanding. I also thought I should have done some baking like that. I then realized that as tight as my schedule is already I don't know where I would have had time to do something like that. I'm trying to get settled in with the 4 kids, make schedules for us all and try my best to stick to it. I made a goal that I would not make any major commitments until Isaiah's was close to 2 that way I could be here for my husband and kids because I know what I could handle. I know this sounds like I'm rambling but my point is, I've seen some moms that put a lot of pressure on themselves to be SUPER MOM. Betty Crocker- Martha Stewart. If you have your stuff in order - like ALL your husbands needs are taken care of and ALL your children's needs are taken care than I say go for it. BUT if you are someone like me that is a work in progress then don't break your neck trying to be Super Mom, Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart. Do your best, focus on GOD, your husband, your kids and if there is room for more without the breaking your neck part of it then sure go ahead. I have given up a lot of activities in the past because I've had to be there for hubby and kids but part of that has been from lack of planning but this is such a short time in my life where I have two babies, I know as they get older I will be able to spread my wings more and do a lot MORE for others.

Disclaimer- if you are reading this is not me telling you about yourself this is more a reminder for myself but if it's helpful to you. I'm glad the lord spoke to you about it.

It snowed

On Monday and it was so pretty. I had a doctors appointment in this first Picture and was trying to safely hurry and get home because I didn't have my glasses.

Big Poppa and his BIG babies!

I took this the other night of these two. Look at all those rolls Isaiah has!!! He weighs 20 lbs at 4 months and the last time I checked Eden she was 26 and she is now 17 months but she is actually starting to thin out by height.

Isaiah can comfortably fit into 9 months clothes but I've been shopping for up to 12- 18 month clothes for him. He is just such a big boy. He has been such an easy baby as well. It's a fun memory having two babies in the house.

Funny face

Mommas work is never done.

I have been really wanting to post lately but I've been just incredibly busy keeping up with these four little ones of ours. We have a chore chart and the girls earn money for there chores. They put 10 % in savings & 10% in for tithe, the rest they spend on whatever they like. Well they wanted to go to 7-11. Ava came home with a slurpee and jelly beans. Oh and she didn't eat her dinner. Lesson.... about to learn it. Well an hour after she finishes, she says her tummy hurts. Well she is sleeping on my floor tonight away from the other kids. I took her temp, she felt warm and she is 100.4 so not too bad but def concerned. So it wasn't the slurpee but mamas work is never done.
