Vacation, Sunshine, and....the "D" and "P" word.

We just got back from St. George UTAH! What a wonderful time we had! Logan LOVED riding on the airplane and so enjoyed his uncle Zach and aunt Candiss. They were the perfect hosts and we had such a nice time at their place.

We flew in to Vegas, so of course we had to walk the Vegas Strip. Jason had never been to Vegas, so he was excited to go and see it. Now, those of you who have never been to Vegas and those of you who have, Vegas is pretty much Porn city. As you walk down the stip, these guys every two feet are trying to give porn away....cards and magazines...plus there are like POSTERS everywhere. It really is rather gross. Luckly, after the first 20 guys who tried to give us some, we kind of got use to it and kept ingnoring them. Anyways...Vegas was a blast. We enjoyed the sunshine, Logan got go to M&M World, and Jason got to gamble his limit of $20.

That night, Logan got super sick...pukeing and filling his diaper the next 24 hours. Poor little guy...then for the next 4 days, he would not eat anything....just drink. He was such a sick little boy. Then Jason got it on Friday and was sick til we left. Not the best way to spend vacation but at least we got away from it all;) We got to swim, walk, play at the park, go to Costco and Walmart(heehee), eat out a couple of times, shop, lay out in the sun, and just enjoy my brother and his wife! I also go to see 3 of my friends while I was there. Lindsey, Kristi, and Brooke...it was such a blessing to see some good ol' Frontier Friends.

We were so happy to get home but had the most wonderful time with them!!! Now our next exciting adventure will be August 19th when baby Zoey joins us:) We look forward to it!

Commit your ways to the LORD!

Life always seems to be ever changing for me and my family! Especailly the last 3 years have been rocky with health of my mom, miscarriage for me, and just other things. Life may be taking my family down a rough road again and I don't always know how to deal or how to trust the Lord with it all. First off...when my mother had breast cancer 2 1/2 years ago....I never got mad at God. I cried my eyes out and was scared and terrified of the unknowing of it all...but I never was mad at him for my mom's cancer. I struggled a lot with giving my fears and lack of strength to him...but I felt he drew me closer to Him through that time. That he changed my thoughts on life....money....future...family...love. I never have been the same and I thank the Lord for that. I would never ask for my mother to go through what she went through...EVER again. But God grew all of us through it and I know that God has already used her cancer to be a light in other people's lives as well.
As God may take me and my family down another difficult road, He keeps bringing this bible verse to my mind and it bring me comfort.
"Commit your ways to the Lord, TRUST ALSO IN HIM, and He will do it" Psalm 37:5
This verse encourages me to rest in the Lord...commit all my fears to him, and to TRUST HIM!!! I am so very thankful for God's word and for it's comfort and guidence in my life! I pray that my whole life will be centered around this verse!!

Weddings...I love weddings!!

So my dear friend Courtney got married this last Friday! It was a totally perfect and beautiful day! One thing I just love about weddings is the awesome reminder of what God has chosen for me in my life! God called me to be Jason's wife! And I LOVE IT MORE then anything other then being a mommy. Jason is amazing. As pastor Dean talked about the qualities of a good husband...everything he said Jason resembled! Especailly when he talked about Husband's treating their wives as if they are a precious or fragile jewel. Not because they are weak...but because they are PRECIOUS! Jason soooo treats me in this way!

I love weddings...I love marriage...and I love Love! Congrats Bobby and Courtney...may God bless you marriage as he has mine. And may you always keep Christ the center of your marriage!!! It will keep your marriage wheel turning!

Baby and Logan!

Of course, Logan has been "my baby" for 2 1/2 years now and I just want to say, I couldn't ask for a more loving, special, fun, smart, or super duper cute little boy. I have been sooooo blessed. When I found out I was pregnant, Logan starting calling the baby in my belly, "baby." Though he doesn't really fully understand what is going on in my tummy, he knows that baby is in there:) Today he was laying by my belly and saying, "Hi baby....Hi.....Wuve you...Wuve you baby"(of course for Love you" I didn't tell him or ask him to say that at all. I just thought that was super cute!!! He is going to be such a good big brother!!!

What a Fun Easter Afternoon.

I know it isn't even Easter yet but today was our "false Easter day" Meaning we had fun celebrating it with the bunny and eggs and stuff. But tomorrow...we will celebrate the real reason for Easter....Christ's death, barrel, and resurrection! What a victory, we have in Jesus.

Today we went down to my old Highschool for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. We got there like 2 minutes late and that was obviously a big mistake......all the kids were already out and grabbing all the eggs in sight....so we were all a little disappointed. Then on our way out, a lady was talking about a Treasure Hunt in Pacific City where kids had free face painting, pics with the Easter bunny, and we went store to store getting little stamps that allowed us to be put our names in some drawings for some cool stuff. So...we decided...what the heck...lets give it a try. Michael and Sarah had their kids and Jason and I had Logan and we ventured down to PC. WHAT at fun day!!! The kids got TONS of eggs and candy and gifts!!! We had a blast! And the weather was just perfect!!!!!! The kids even played on the beach for alittle while!

What a blessed day we had. We spent it with wonderful family and friends!!! I love days like this!!!!

Crazy Busy Schedule coming up!

Do you ever just catch yourself being kind of selfish and the totally have an humbling experience come out of it? This happened to me tonight. I was at my mom's watching Idol early;) She has dish and so she gets it super early...which is cool. While we were watching, my mom got a phone call from a lady I use to work with at the Highschool....and actually she taught me when I was a freshman. Now...this is a woman that most studnets do not like as a teacher. She is stricted and doesn't take any crap from the students. So ...of course, students tend to think she is mean. Well, I got to know her as a staff member when I work at NHS and I just feel in love with this woman. She made me feel so special and always greeted me! I so enjoyed getting to know her while I was at the highschool. Well, she called my mom tonight asking about me and that she heard(probably from my sweet friend Amy) that I was house cleaning. My mom passed the message a long to me and then gave this lady my number. My sister in law and I are both packed with cleaning...we really can't take anyone else on...at least not every week. So, I was telling my mom...I just will have to tell her no. We just can't do it. Completely thinking of me the WHOLE time. Well, she called my phone and left me a message. In her message she told me how she really needs some help....her husband has cancer again and she is working full time and just can't keep up. Suddenly, I was back to 2 years ago when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and couldn't do hardly a thing!! Right then I thought, you know...I could make this work once a month. I know that I can't do it anymore then that but if that will help this woman keep things kind of together...then I would make it work!
I know this is my job...I do but I also think and know that God has blessed me with loving to clean...so that I can help others who can't or who just dont have the time! So...though I am not taking anyone else one...other then this sweet lady.....I know God is going to use me in some way!

My cutie pie!

Logan is so darn cute! I just wanted to share a couple of pictures of him enjoying his lunch! No worries all....Logan is drinking a tiny bit of diet pepsi:) He loves cheesy hotdogs! What a healthy lunch, LOL:)

He was sitting there watching Max and Ruby and a commercial came on and he said, "Oh no!! My show!!! Mom?? Remote!!!" Meaning he wanted me to fast forward it! Isn't my little batman so cute just sitting there relaxing? His legs spread out like that just cracked me up!!! Ahhh Logan...you totally are my entertainment!
