Ovulation Day

Well we were so happy this morning the monitor read that we are ovulating. We are just through the roof with excitement and anticipation. We will test in three weeks to see if it stuck. WE did do some, not all methods I am sure, to have a girl. We are praying everyday. We hope she is healthy and perfect.

Just wanted to past that today is the day.

We went Trick or Treating for the first time with their best friend Jonathon at Texas A&M. It was really cool to have all three of them together.

God Answers Prayers

Well, God answers Prayers and is Faithful always.

I did not get this job. I prayed about it we prayed about it and left it in His hands. He knows the path that is best for me and my family. He is Faithful. He will always take care of us.

I just wanted to thank you all for your support and encouragement. I really do love being at home with my wonderful boys. I am glad that I have the chance to do this a little while longer. They will only be little once. They will only need me like they do now once. I will never get this time back. What I lose I lose. I am glad God is given me the chance to not lose any time when they are so young. He knows how important this is, and is consistently pushing me in that direction. I am so thankful.

Please Pray now for a baby. We start trying Nov 7th. We said if I did not get the job we were going to pour ourselves into making a baby.

The Doc apt is already set for Nov 7th. WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interviewed today

Well I think it went well. They only asked 9 questions. We sat around this small table and I was only in there for 20 mins. There were 4 interviewers. Two males and two females. It was funny, one Female was name Something Baker and the other was Tracie Something, I am Tracie Baker. I made a slight joke about that. I thought it was too funny.

I don't have any feelings this time. Last time I interviewed for this same job I just KNEW I had it, well I was really upset that I did not get it. This time I just don't know. Also, I am not leaning to one side or another this time. I would love to have it, but on the other hand I would love to stay at home as well.

I will let you guys know as soon as I know something.

Thanks for all your prayers.

God Bless

MAN OH MAN, I am so thrilled on how this turned out. A girl named Sarah Giles did them for us. She is a Christian and comes from a family of 9, that is counting mom and dad. She is so great. She was given a great gift of photography. I am so great full that she is doing our pictures. I could not be more pleased with the way they turned out. I am really a bad picture taker, I just can not smile on command. I have tried for years to have a pretty smile with out laughing but she got me to smile pretty.

Now here are the boys pictures, we will start with Kyle.

My sweet boy, I can't say enough that these pictures captured his sweetness. I will look at these pictures when he is going though that rough teen time and remember how lovable he was. These pictures show so much.

Now for Kenneth.

My boy, man he is a handful. These pictures show his life, his spirit. He can be loud and rowdy but so soft and thoughtful at times.

I thank God and Sarah for these pictures.

She is going to meet with us to do some more. WE are still going to do Aggie shirts and some with the white shirts and jeans. I am so grateful for her.

Work or Not Work

Well, lets start with I am not actively looking for a job. There is one that I REALLY wanted and interview for a year ago and did not get. I was the 2nd choice. I did not have my degree at the time and the one that got the job was already turned down 3 times and they did not have the heart to turn him down again. I was actually called by the boss and told instead of the normal letter. Well the guy did great there but still wanted to work at A&M with his wife. So this very same job is open again.

My husband told me about it, I applied and I now have an interview for the 24th. I have no idea what to do. I LOVE being at home with my kids, but the money is tight. I have taken on two babies to help, but that is also taking time away from my kids. What to do, what to do???? I really need to think and pray about this really hard. I don't know if I will be offered the job, but I need to make up my mind either way.

As for the boys, my mom will watch them here at my house till the year before K then they will go to a half day Pre-K. So I am greatful of that. My mom also said I could try it out for 6 months and see how I feel. She is not depending on the money.

What to do what to do. I want the extra money, I would love the job, but we are also wanting another baby some time soon, we want to get out of debt as well as get a new house someday. Man, this just sucks. I have no clue what to do. This makes my chest hurt. Does anyone understand?

Thank you for listening.....

Mushrooms

Man you got to love boys: We were watching Jonathon on Sunday while Rhonda took the girls to the mall. We were also cleaning the yard up. We always seem to do the yard when it pretty and the weekend. Well, daddy had just got through blowing off the roof. With all of our trees we fight the leaves every year. I was blowing the driveway off when I ask what are Jonathon and Kyle doing. Daddy said "I hope they are not playing in the mushrooms over there" I dropped the blower and ran to them. Kyle had a mouth FULL of wild mushrooms, GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR. He still at 3 puts things in his mouth. GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR. Jonathon also had some in his mouth. I told them to spit them out. I went inside and called Poison control. They said watch them and make sure they don't get sick. We watch them all night. Kyle sleep with us (which he is not use to) till 10:30 then cried till 11:00. I asked him to you want to go back to your room, and he said "I want to go back with Bubba". So I went to his room to sleep. I was in there till 3:00 in the morning. After getting hit for the 3rd time I decided to go back to my bed. I knew were were getting up at 6:00 for that would only be 3 hours not supervised. He seemed fine. Daddy got up and checked oh him at 6:00 and then we all got up at 6:30.

WE took daddy to work and went to eat at McD's. I had Katelynn with me, so I had 3 kids. They were all really go though. My Best Friend came with her two kids and we ate and had fun. Well, the kids had fun.
First, Kyle was stinky, then Katelynn, then Kenneth, then Kyle again. By then I said ok time to go. Four dirty diapers was all I could handle at one time. We went home and took a early nap. We had a good time though. I called Lewis on the way home and said, even with 4 dirty diapers and the frustration of all that poo, I still want another baby.

We have decided if I do not get this job I have applied for, we are going to start to try to get pregnant again. I really hope we have a girl. But really I hope we have b/g twins. We are only doing one more pregnancy that is it. I know that the Lord will bless us with what ever he feels we need. I do hope for a girl, but I am leaving it to him.

Till next time.

Oct 3 2007

Daddy stayed home sick from work. He was running a high fever and went to the doc. Found out he has Tonsillitis and was put on meds. I hate when daddy's sick.

We started staining the deck tonight. WE got half of the squares done. We are doing it in a checker board pattern.

Daddy was inside and Kyle said I am going inside with daddy and you stay outside. I am so thankful that he loves his daddy so much and daddy is so great with them, but it does hurt sometimes that I am being push to the side. I know this is a natural process, and I am thankful that it is happening.

The boys went with grandma today. They go every Wens. they go with her. They go to story time at the library and then to the park. They have so much fun with her. The first words out of Kyle's mouth this morning was "Grandma went home???" She was here when they went to bed.

That's it for today.
