Did you notice the poll on the right side of the screen? I dislike (very much!) going to people's blogs and hearing the same song play over and over. So I have been thinking about adding music to our blog... obviously it would be music I like (without naughty words). I am wondering what you think about blog music... PLEASE TAKE THE POLL over there ---> to let me know what you think.

Last week we were almost hit by a truck slightly bigger than our own. It wasn't pretty and I immediately began to cry. I almost threw up multiple times due to anxiety. After I got the kids in bed I sat down and started reading the Bible. The first verse I read was this, "When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up." Psalm 94:19 MSG (or "When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." NLT or "When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul." NIV) I started giggling... He would give me that verse in my distress. Thank you Father.---------------------
Does anyone else ever feel like Goldilocks? I feel like I complain too often. "It's too hot. It's too cold. That's too far. I'm too young/old." When I notice I am doing this I try and remind myself of a few things... God used Esther to save her people even though she seemed 'too young' or Elizabeth who sheltered and encouraged Mary and gave birth to a baby even though she seemed 'too old.' Obviously both were 'just right' for God to use. I try to remember that I am also 'just right' for God to use as he sees fit.

Yesterday we had a short visit with a fantastic family. When we got there SJ says to Joe, "Nice Makena!" Makena is car... he apparently likes our SUV! Macy climbed up the side of the hill in her dress, nice shoes, and new coat... that is so unlike her. Arwen played with her new friend wonderfully. She hardly ever plays with other kids! THEN when we got home Arwen pooped and peed on the potty or as she puts it, "Poopoo n piepie on poppy!" I know some of you are thinking, "oh gross!" But I am such a proud Mama. She is so little to be potty training but I think we are going to go with it. Here's a few pictures (not of the baby sitting on the potty LOL although that would be cute!).
He was such a gentleman holding the door for her and showing her how the MAH-kee-nah (car) worked.
I don't think he wanted to smile because Macy was hugging him AGAIN LOL!
Silly boys
This is my big girl climbing 'the mountain' with her BFF.

Taking corn crap BACK out of our diets... we were slacking. Thinking about participating in One Day Without Shoes on April 5th and trying to convince Joe to do it... it's a school day. Will any of you be doing this?
---------------------
As of Friday, Joe is officially a Math teacher. He now teaches Algebra II and Stats. I'm so proud of him! He could have been an accountant, lawyer, pilot, or could have joined the Air Force... all of which he would LOVE to do but instead he is stuck with teaching. Saying my husband is a Math teacher is much sexier than economics in my opinion ;)

The other day, in the car, Gavin asked us what a falcon was. We both took turns explaining different features, but felt we weren't quite getting the falcon aura across....so we simultaneously raised our hands (Joe just one... he was driving) and made monster claws in the air! "Rawr! Talons!" *Insert hysterical laughing from the 2 of us while kids look on as if we had gone absolutely bonkers* (If you're trying for the right mental pictures, monster claws look suspiciously like bare bear claws).

Remember that picture of my baby crying because she can't walk well in Macy's or Molly's boots? Well, a sweet Mama over on diaperswappers traded us some rainboots for Little Love bows! Arwen LOVES her boots, but the bottoms are smooth and she is slipping all over the floor. Can any of you help me figure out what I could do to the bottom of her boots to get them to stop slipping and sliding? I'd really appreciate ANY advice on this one!
---------------------
Don't forget to get your Little Love bows HERE. I bought diapers today and need to pay for them now LOL! I am going to leave the post up until they are all gone... I will prob add more to it as time goes on and the # of available bows dwindles.
