AMAZING!

I just want again to thank the Lord for His provision and the way He works things out in our lives. Brandon and I are constantly reminded in the business that it is nothing we do but what the Lord does for us. We have really been meditating lately on our Scripture reading of reading through the Bible and how every morning there is a verse that applies to our lives for that day. We are truly amazed at the blessings of the Lord.

Weekend with the Cheatham kids

Aleeza had SO MUCH FUN this past weekend while we wathced the Cheatham kids. She was so excited all weekend long. I can't wait for her to have a little sister. Here are some shots of the kids... Aleeza loved to be around Eleanor.. :) and here are Aleeza and Beatrice "chilling " on our bed watching cartoons.. please do notice the matching korkers.. CUTE! Robert I am sure had so much fun with all the girls.. :)

Our little lady

Morning out

Aleeza and I had a fun morning out this morning. I took her shopping.. of course she wanted to go.. she is so into looking at shoes especially.. :) She is my little diva.. :) We went to Chick fil a for lunch. It is so fun to see her interacting with other kids. We have the Cheatham kids this weekend.. :) I can't wait. I hear her saying Robert , Beatrice and Eleanors names.. she says,

Ra Ra , Bea, and Baby ( for Eleanor). We are working on saying the name not just baby. Fun fun.

This is Aleeza enjoying her "new" toy. I got it down last week for Adyrianna but it seems to be bringing back memories for her. :) she will climb in it and turn it on and just sit there. of course there is a mirror on it so I am sure she is doing some staring in that. :)

Her two year old molers are finally cutting through. She has been in a much better mood this week. Hope all is well with everyone.

loving the weather

Aleeza and I enjoyed lunch outside today. Although I am really not sure how much eating she got done.. :) she loves to be outside. The weather is absolutely perfect here. ( word to all my friends that I have been trying to get to move here.. Auntie Bonnie.. it is well worth it.. ) :) She has been picking the wildflowers and saying "flower for mama and flower for daddy" it is really cute. She is growing up so fast. I can't believe she is almost two. Time flies. Yesterday's doctors appt. was good. Everything is right one. Still hoping for a couple of weeks early so that Brandon and I can make it to Kirsten's ( his sister ) wedding. We shall see. Everything else is good! Blood, weight gain.. right one. That is great news! I just wish they would say oh opps you are coming early. :) I have not been sleeping well at night and that is not a good sign since I still have 9 more weeks to go. Oh well, if I am tired enough I suppose I will sleep. Have a great day everyone.

Giving to Goodwill

Ever given items to Goodwill and feel like you are putting out the worker there. I did today. The lady was very rude to me like I was putting her out by donating stuff to them. First I wasn't able to carry the things back as far as she wanted, because hello... clearly expecting a baby. She was pretty put out by that. And then at the end of everything she says to me, " are you almost done" I said," yes maam" and she says" well finally". If I was not pregnant and feeling like I could give birth at any minute I would have taken everything back. This is the third time I have been to this drop off and felt like I was putting them out. Oh well... what do you do.. don't go back to that drop off. :)

Home and Garden Show

The Lord was really good to us at the home and garden show. We kept it simply but because we did, the Lord has already allowed Brandon to sign another contract for a custom home. The man chose us because our booth was simple. We picked up two more homes, Lord willing, and plenty of grading and landscaping jobs. Framing also picked up jobs but we need to start another crew in order to do this. Our one crew is booked for 12 months. Praise the Lord. Brandon and I realize daily that it is nothing that we do but it is based on what the Lord allows and wants us to do. We thank Him for this.

Ever tried this?

Ever tried to take 4 girls,ages 2-3, picture while outside, surround by a million interesting things.. We attempted it last week for Childrens' Place. Bows for Best Friends is trying to crack into the childrens' place system. So we dressed them all up in outfits from there and snapped away. Of course they were sporting bows and korkers. :) Here are some outtakes.

Cool girl

Aleeza loves glasses, hats and shoes. :)

Fun with Aunt Selena and Uncle Jared

Aleeza had a good time this past week while Jared and Selena were down checking out the area. She especially had fun with her cousin, Adry... or as she called her all week Baby, Baby. That is pretty much all I have heard since they have left too. She walks past the door and says Baby, Baby. I think she is going to enjoy her new little sister. :) Aleeza loved giving her kisses and hugs.

Please pray again...

Please pray again, it looks as though the Lord is leading us to now sell our house at this time. Not by our choice but apparently the Lord has different buyers in mind. We will be more settled on all of this tomorrow. We will still have it on the market and the right buyers that the Lord has for this house will come along and buy it. We want that to be just perfect and we know the Lord has someone special in mind for this lovely home. I just want to throw in here how hard of a worker my husband is and how much I appreciate everything that he does for this family. We ran our booth at the home and garden show this past weekend and the Lord has seen fit to bring in a lot of work from this. We are so thankful for this. Thank the Lord for a godly, honest husband that will watch the quality of work and do his best to make it right. The Lord truly has great things in store for us even if we don't see them right now, and right now we are at a low point and don't see them, but we know that the Lord makes no mistake and everything will work out for His glory. What a shame when people don't have any one to turn to and can not rely on the Lord to meet their needs.
Soon I will have pictures to post of baby Adry and Aleeza who is absolutely loving her cousin who is visiting us for a week. How fun to see her interact with a baby.
