The Party





We had Chey's party on Saturday after her soccer game. She had 3 friends show up. We were all thrilled because we were afraid that no one would come and she would be disappionted. They played at the park and had a great time. She even invited a friend to spend the night. Here are the few pics I got before my batteries went dead.

9 years ago today


I was laying in bed, due to bedrest, watching a movie with my Mom and sister thinking I would be pregnant forever! Not because Chey hadn't tried to get out. They just wouldn't let her! I think it made her mad so she decided to make the most of her womb time. And then.....something happened. I won't go into details cuz I'm sure there are some people reading this who don't want all the nasty details. But we headed to the hospital anyway. I fully intended to be back home in a few hours. After an hour of laying in a bed on a moniter, which I wasn't paying any attention to, a nurse came in and asked if needed medication to help with the pain. "Pain?! What pain?! I will be going home soon." I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when she pointed out that I was having contractions 2 min apart and hadn't felt ANYTHING! Once Chey decided it was time there was no stopping her. She came into the world 2 hours later with a waiting room of adoring fans and a very emotional Nanny and Mother waiting for her. My wonderful, amazing baby girl weighed in at 8lbs., 6ozs and immediatly stole my heart....and many others. :) Most beautiful baby in the hospital as my wonderful Dr. said. You never realize how much that little bitty person will change your life. So, to Chey on her 9th birthday I want to say thank you for making me a better person, making me a Mommy, showing me what unconditional love really is. Thank you for being the best daughter a Mom could ask for. I love you bigger then the sky! Happy birthday baby girl!

Counting my blessings......

Isn't it sad how we can see all the crazy, horrible things going on around us, devistation, lives distroyed, families seperated, and still get so caught up in our own insiginficant problems that we forget to count out blessings? Sometimes life just gets too hard and I wanna run away. Then I put a little thought into it and decide it would do no good because I couldn't live without my kids and I don't want to live without my husband. We may not always be albe to pay the bills on time but at least we have a steady income. We may not have the nicest house on the block but at least we have a roof over our head and warm, comfy beds to sleep in at night. We may not eat gourmet food, sometimes it's even over cooked or simply done wrong cuz contrary to popular belief, I am not REALLY perfect, but at least we have food on the table. I may not have the best behaved kids in the world but I was amazingly blessed with four wonderful, loving, compassionate little people. Jeremy, contrary to some peoples belief, isn't the perfect husband but he's my husband and I love him with every fiber of my being. I thank God for my sometimes over bearing Mother, my pain the butt little sister, my not always as strong as I believed big sister, my Mother's off-beat side of the family, who may not always get along but is always there to back you up and make you laugh. I may not always like the cards I have been dealt. I may feel like my heart is broken in a million pieces and will never be whole again......But then I look at my kids and I realize how wonderfully blessed I am. And I remember what I have always been told, "God will never give you more then you can handle!" And I bow my head and talk to My Savior and let Him pick me up in His powerful hands and carry me through the hard times.

On a completly different note, I have football and cheerleading pics that I will post as soon as I can find my camera.
