More birthday fun (see first post below)!:)

We went north this weekend to celebrate Little C's 1st birthday! Friday night we were at Grandpa & Grandma Weinert's house and had a big party with extended family, it was also my great aunt's birthday so we celebrated that as well! We had so much fun, my sister-in-law made an awesome 1 cake with balls on it (he LOVES balls, he will choose that over any other toy)! It was a fun day! We also went to Grandpa & Grandma Englund's house and celebrated with them along with extended family as well! We had a really fun time, and Little C seemed thrilled to have more cake!:) It was birthday fun all weekend long:0)!

What have I been missing all this time!

Family fun! Big brother to the rescue!

His second love-music!:)

Cousins!:)

More cake! Yes!

Good times!:)

Happy 1 year Little C!

When I gave birth to my first son I went through a 2 year journey where I was going from doctor to doctor trying to find out why I was in so much pain. It was then that the Lord laid onto our hearts attributes of believers. For my oldest it was Joy, through that struggle my prayer was that we would never lose our joy and Big C was a constant reminder of that. Joy oozes from him, and we pray that he will continue to share the joy that we know comes from the God of Joy! Due to finally being dignosed and being on an incredible amount of drugs we were not sure if it was even possible to have another baby, and if it would make my condition far worse. That, is where we truly discovered HOPE! I feel so blessed to know a God who is truly the God of hope! The verse below was so encouraging for us, and 2 1/2 years after our first son's birth I found out I was pregnant! It still seems like yesterday that I was feeling his little feet kicking inside my tummy, and then before I knew it there he was in our arms. Little C is a constant reminder of hope for us, and our prayer is that he will grow to love and serve the God of Hope! Happy Birthday Little C!

Romans 5:1-5

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."

Life....:)

If only we never had to get out!
She'll never know.....
Snow-where are you!!???

Free Me!!!!

Music-Songs I love!!!

OK, so I HAD to blog about this. If you LOVE music like I do then you have to check these songs out. The first one is "In Better Hands" (Not sure if this is new, or new to me) by Natalie Grant, and the second NEW song is "How you live" by Point of Grace (on their newly released cd,you can listen to it on their myspace). Both of these songs will make your heart soar as you listen to these positive, encouraging songs! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them! Let me know what you think!? Or, if you know of any new songs that you LOVE! Isn't music such a wonderful thing!?

Fall Fun

Let the fall fun begin!!! Last weekend the boyz and I went up north to my parents to celebrate my nephew's 5th B'day! We had a blast! We also went to the pumpkin patch, it was great!! The kids went through a corn maze, played in a corn(not sand:) box, went on a hayride and train, and did some pumpkin chunkin (they used a slingshot with pumpkins and such). Everyone had a lot of fun. The boyz and I also went on a little hike this week, there is a great nature park just down from our house and it has trails (when I say trails I mean grass and dirt not paved;) that go on forever (so I just discovered). The boyz had a great time and we played "I spy" for different colors! Big C has a good friend that comes over about over about once a week so today we mad oobleck (cornstarch and water)! I LOVE that stuff and so do they, it is such a great science project! Alright that is what we have been up to!
