Reunions and Bachelorette Parties...Fun combination for a fun Weekend!

We had a fun weekend! Jason's family had a big reunion here in Tilly town! Jason and I took part in it all weekend long! It was so much fun to sit and get to know more of Jason's family! Such a special time! A very God loving family!

Get 'er Done!!

I would like to take a moment to BRAG about my husband! Jason had 5 days off last weekend during the 4th! He CHOSE to work on our NEW BEAUTIFUL FENCE 1 1/2 of those days....the other 1 1/2 days he helped my daddy tear down two of his decks, do to a remodel they are starting! Jason could have said, "babe...I need a break this weekend...lets just relax and enjoy ourselves and do our fence later." I would have said, "sounds awesome Jason, you need a break." BUT, my amazingly hard working man gave up 3 of his days of vacation and worked his BUTT OFF!!!! Our fence is nearly done, four more panels and a gate to go..he is hoping to finish it up in the next week or two, depending on help! Thanks Jason for being such a hard working man!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!(ps. a Special thanks to Bus Papa too because we couldn't have done it with out you....or Logan...who poured the water for the cement!. What awesome helpers)

I can't believe I got an award!!!

My blogger friend Abbie gave me this super neat award!!! Of course she gave it to me because we are totally in the same stage with our little toddlers and we are both going to be giving birth at some point in the next 3 months:) I think I am like 5 weeks ahead of Abbie...don't quote me though! This is a super neat award because it is supposed to help raise awareness for organ donation!! All you ladies and men need to consider this and get it put on your license!

I am going to pass this award on to two people:

http://jessijobarber.blogspot.com/ Jessi: because she is ready to give birth to her first baby girl!!! I am so excited for her and I am even more excited for her, because that gets me closer to my date;)

And secondly...I pass this award on to Sarah:http://motziemom.blogspot.com/ because she is a super good friend and she scrubs toilets with me at least two days a week! You rock Sarah!!

Keep this award going ladies;)

Keeping my Spiritual Life Watered during the warm dry summer!

I have been trying so hard to be in God's word everyday! It seems to be a struggle for me because I am so busy. I get up in the morning and either have buckets to wash, houses to clean, a little man who needs me, or my home projects! BUT...when I go through a dry spell of not being in God's word...boy can I ever tell. Especially in my attitude towards others and my love for others. I have been trying to read first thing in the morning! So far it is working!:) This morning's daily bread was sooooo good for me to read. I wanted to share the verses that were a long with it! They are very convicting and very much what I needed to read this morning! If anyone else is interested in checking out the daily bread devotional, I do it online! http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb.shtml

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2: 3-11

Fourth Weekend! FULL OF FUN!!!!

This Summer Logan has just LOVED the water! From squirt guns, to swimming, to fun sprinklers! What kid doesn't just love water fun? Infact, Logan has really had the hugest obsession with squirt guns! He asks daddy all day long, "wanna play squirt guns, daddy?" The other day he was going potty and he looked down at his peepee and said, "Mommy, this my very own squirt gun,!!" LOL....I laughed and said, "yes but we only squirt the toilet with it." He said, "ya mommy." Funny little boy.

We got Logan this super fun sprinkler from Freddys! He just loves it! He really enjoyed it a Bus Papa's this weekend.
Bus Gram is always pulling out activites for Logan!!! From walks outside, to painting, to playdo, to reading books, eating popcorn and watching movies, or just sitting down and playing with a bunch of us canady kids old toys! Gram and Logan have really became buddies this summer!
Amybeth surprised me and was at the Cloverday's Parade on Saturday!!! It meant the world to me to see my bestest friend!
Logan and Bus Papa were in the Parade on Saturday! Dad loves to show off his 63 bug that he restored and of course loves even more showing off his Favorite Grandson!! Logan had fun waving his flag and showing of his spiderman toy!! Thanks Papa for inviting Logan!
We ended our weekend with a fun day at LC Pool!!! They have this AWESOME kiddy pool! Logan and daddy played squirt guns and Logan got brave and wondered all around the pool. We got him these goggles at the dollars store and the little man loved them. They were pretty much foggy the whole time but he didn't want to take them off;) Note to self, never by squirt guns or goggles at the dollars store. They leak like crazy;)

Finger lickin' good BBQ and Scaring the Pee out of ya fireworks!

We had a wonderful Fourth of July! It began with a yummy BBQ at Michael
and Sarah's and ended with FUN fireworks at Grandma Debbies!!
Logan had so much fun playing outside for over 3 hours with his cousins! He was sooooooooo tired afterwards. Then Daddy and Uncle Michael took Logan, Reece, and Collin to an arcade in Rockaway to "play video games," as Logan kept saying, over and over...."wanna play video games??" Yes, they start super young in the Motsinger family!
Laurie got a pic of me 34 weeks prego with Zoey Lenae! Thanks Laurie!
Here are all the Motsinger Cousins!!! Logan is so lucky to live so close to them all!
Daddy and his little shadow, swinging away! Aren't my boys super handsome?
So, Logan really enjoyed the sparklers this year!! He enjoyed the fireworks at first...keep saying, "awesome," "Nice," and, "Cool." But, the fireworks that daddy worked so hard on lighting, scared the PEE out of him eventually. NO JOKE!!!! He was super scared, especially when they made loud popping noises. He had been sitting on Grandma's lap and when she got up...her lap was all wet! Poor little guy. That was only like the 4th accident he has had since he became potty trained....I felt bad for the little guy. I am sure next year he will be right down there by daddy, helping get the fireworks going:)
Hope everyone else had as good of a fourth as we did:):):):):)

Switchfoot...you are still my Fav!

My little Logy woke me up early because he had to go potty....and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I decided it was time to fix up my little Music thing for my blog here. Figured it was time to change things up. I added a few of my favorite songs for right now. Then I decided to look up my all time favorite group, Switchfoot! As I poured through the music....I was brought back to a different time. You see, Switchfoot was one of the first groups I ever got super excited for! I will thank my brother MJ for that. We had gone to Jesus Northwest back when I was like 15 and MJ spent a TON of money on cd's for all these new Christian groups! Switchfoot was one of them....also among them was Skillet and Supertones!(which are also still some of my favs.) Being a pastor's kid, my parents were actually really cool about the music we got to listen too. They pretty much let us pick out whatever we wanted...as long as it was CLEAN and Uplifting! After many battles between my parents and MJ with music....we all picked out our favorites! Switchfoot was that band that we all loved!!! The words of their songs just touched my life!! I felt like every song was talking to me...like they could read my mind! They were my escape when I just couldn't do it anymore, when the pressure of this WORLD was to much....they were a cd I could just turn on and lay on my bed and escape to a different place too. During my times of searching....during the time that I made my Faith...truely My own. During times that I didn't think my parents and my brother would ever get a long....during times that I had a big crush on a boy and that boy didn't feel the same.....when I was so unbearably lonely at Frontier that I couldnt' stand it....when all my friends where dating someone, and I was all alone.....on snowy trips to Denver to get to the airport for a good friend of mine(good thing I did...since we now share brothers as husbands(lol))......Switchfoot was there. When I wasn't sure who I was, when I was searching for people to except me for me, when all my friends were partying and I was at home, doing nothing.....God blessed me with this wonderful escape to Switchfoot. It sounds sort of silly, and sorry daddy if this isn't biblical, heehee, but Switchfoot helped get me on Fire for Jesus. It made me want to get deeper in my relationship with my Savior! I am so thankful that my parents didn't hinder my music so much that I wouldn't have been able to find this group.They were my tunes!!!:) I am sure you all have a group like that. And YES...I have many more...but switchfoot is truelly the biggest music influence in my life:) I hope you enjoy some of their music when you come to my blog. If not...no biggy. They are just a little piece into me! Happy listening!
