Loving the Summer!

We were so blessed this Sunday to get to go and enjoy our friend's boat:) The Weldons are so good friends from church who live right on Devil's Lake in Lincoln City. They have worked their tails off for 18 years owning and running the Figaro's Pizza:) God has blessed them with a beautiful lake house and super fun speed boat! Jason, Ryan, and Morgan enjoyed tubing and Wakeboarding yesterday! Logan and I even got to enjoy the boat ride:) Such a special and fun day! THANKS Weldons!

Feeling like a Whale!


So, I am very much at the point of pregnancy that I feel...well...just like a fat cow;) I know all of you pregnant woman felt the same way right at this point of giving birth to your babies...so I know I will get an amen from you all! I am ready to be able to run again after I eat 12 cookies, I am ready to jump out of bed and not feel like I am going to faint or fall over, I am ready to not have to pee every 5 minutes(no seriously...ask Sarah or Jason), I am ready to breath again, I am ready to sleep on my belly again(totally a belly sleeper...pregnancy kind of disturbs that), I am ready to not forget EVERYTHING, and I am ready to..well..in the next few months, wear my pants again:)
As of right now I am dialated at a two and have been having TONS of contractions. Just not any that have put me into full blown labor yet.
I am super ready to give birth to our little lady but I am also kind of hoping she will wait for a little while longer. YES..I KNOW...I am totally going against what I wrote in my first paragraph...but come on...I am pregnant. I can change my mind in five minutes:) One reason is for her lungs...I want her to be totally cooked before she decides to join our family and secondly there is something about the 2nd baby. Not that I am not as a excited to have her join our family as I was when Logan was born 3 years ago, but this time around...I know what to expect. I know that our lives are totally going to change...in every single way. Of course all for the better in deed but the first few months there are a lot of adjustments, lack of sleep, sore nipples, and well...basically...a scary looking Krista roaming around Tillamook. I have never done well with lack of sleep and no routine! I guess I am like a little kid in that way! BUT...at least this time around I know what to expect...I know that I will probably be a little moody for the first few months and I was already appologizing to Jason for it today;) heehee
With all of those things said, I also can't wait for her to join us. I know...I changed it again :) I can't wait to see what our little one looks like...will she look just like her brother? Or will she be totally opposite of him. Will she be a good sleeper? Will she be a good nurser? Will she be chubby like Logan was;) Will she be totally girly like her mommy? Or will she wanna chum with the boys?

Though I feel like a big whale....and I long to meet our little girl...I am cherishing my last couple weeks of normal routine...until we find our new normal routine with baby and a preschooler! Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who will be helping me a long the way;) I am super lucky in that department! I will keep you all updated til our little girl arrives
PS....we decided to wait in deciding on the name til she arrives:)

Wedding Bells, Waddling Down the Aisle, and "Wing Bear" fun

My flower girl days:) 1987(I think)


On New Years of this last year, I got a phone call from my sweet friend Jackie! She had a super excited tone in her voice....she said,"Josh purposed...and I said yes!! Will you be in my wedding, July 26th, 2008?" I said, "OF COURSE....but....I also have news for you...I will be just about 8 1/2 months pregnant!!" She laughed and got excited and said, "well, we will just have to get you a different dress then the other girls:)!" So..we both got to share exciting and life changin news with each other that day. Jackie did find me the cutest dress that I could have asked for...infact...I think I liked it better then the bridemaid's, heehee.

Now, I have to share a few things leading up to this day. I have only been in three weddings in my entire life....well...three that I actually was walking down the aisle during. One was when I was like 6, I was a flower girl at my Aunt Kim's wedding probably like 1987....Second one was my very own wedding, 2004, and 3rd was my brother's wedding 2006!! I never really thought I would be in very many weddings. I have always been a friend to everyone!!! But, I have really only had a few best friends that would even consider me to be in their wedding. I tease my best friend Amybeth because she was one wedding I knew I would be in and she eloped to Hawaii, lol!!! But I was her bridemaid in spirit;) I have been pregnant for about 8 1/2 months and have been in 2 weddings this pregnancy;) LOL...I really do think it is funny that when I am actually in the weddings, I am waddling down the aisle....truely has been a humbling experience, heehee!

Jackie's wedding was amazing....TOTALLY Christ centered and beautiful! Jackie and Josh love each other so much and are a PERFECT match!!! Logan was priveldged to be asked to be Jackie's ring bear....or "wing bear" as he would say it. Infact the day of the wedding he was hoping his cousin Madison could be a "wing bear" with him. He adores his cousin Maddie. Logan did wonderful....drag the cute little flower girl down the aisle with him...but other then that, he was adoreable and did a great job. Logan isn't even 3 yet!!! I was so proud of him!

Saturday was a special day!!! Jackie has been waiting for her hubby...she has been very picky...she wanted to marry a strong Christian man and she was willing to wait til her perfect match appeared. God is sooo good and he is sooo faithful to those that honor him~ Congrats Jackie...may God bless you with LOTS OF babies and may God continue to work in both you and Josh's lives as I have seen it so much the last couple of years!!!


The sweet couple! They will have beautiful babies!!

Logan, Jackie, and Rachel....Logan isn't even three and Rachel just turned 7...Logan is just a little shorter then Rachel....I have such a tall boy;)
Jackie and I!
Rosanna(Jackie's now sis in law), Me, Logan, and Jessica Powers!

July 24, 2004-------4 years of total Joy:)



Jason and I have been married for 4 years! I could not ask for a more Godly and perfect husband. I am so thankful that my parents and grandparents prayed for my husband since the day I was born. All I can say is I see God's hand in the man I married more then I could ever explain or express. Jason is my second half. He is my best friend. I couldn't imagine this journey without him. Jason and I when we were engaged.
Wedding pics!
This day I married my best friend!
This is right after he saw me for the first time on our wedding day.
Jason is a wonderful provider and a wonderful husband. If I could give anyone any advice of what I have learned after 4 years of marriage it would be.....Selflessness. Jason has taught me this in every way. He is the most selfless person I know. Always putting Logan and I first in every way. He has taught me to be the same way and we really have a wonderful marriage! I love you Jason David Motsinger. I look forward to many more years to come!!!!

To France for the sake of eternity!

Don't ya ever just need a good reminder or wake up call when it comes to Eternity and where those around you are going to spend it? Fronter School of the Bible was a season of my life that was the most life changing and impacting season of my entire life(other then marriage and my babies). I was surrounded by wonderful Christain young adults who had a passion for Jesus and spreading the good news. I was lucky enough to score one of them as a sister in law(Morgy) and to still be best friends with another(Amybeth). But this week I was blessed with a visit with an ol' FSB pal. The first two things that I remember about meeting Seth Westhoff would be his laugh....for a small guy you could hear him anywhere in the room when he laughed. Just priceless. The other thing I remember from the start about him was his love and passion for the people of France. Seth loves France and Jesus and has been working ever since(6years later) to get to France and win people for Christ. Seth is super close to raising all his support. Please be praying for him in the next month as he travels to more church's to raise his last little bit. God is going to use this man to do Mighty things. I can't wait to hear what God has in store.
Morgan, Anni, Me, and Seth!
