Poison Control Day

Well today we called poison control again. This is the 4th time now so I guess that is not too bad with three year old twin boys. Today I let them play outside. It was time for them to come in and take a bath so I ran their bath water. I could see Kyle and he was holding the Backyards Off bug spray, then wouldn't you know, he push the button and hit the ground. I ran to him, he sprayed it in, you guessed it, his EYES!!!!

I already had water in the bath, but they were dressed in two layers and COVERED in wet sand. SO he got the water hose in the eyes, of course it was on really easy, but it was really cold. He did not like it at all. Then I took him in and washed his face really good with baby soap and rinsed and rinsed. I called poison control and they said it should be OK, just watch him for the next hour. We ate lunch with Grandma and he was fine. You know I really like poison control, I love how they call back to check on you. I don't know of any doctors that do this. Thank you Poison control for caring. I know it probably part of their job, but I really like it.

Other than that, Kyle has gotten a big attitude lately, Kenneth went through this a few months ago and not Kyle is doing it. I love twins. We will make it through this just like we made it through Kenneth's.

We, or I have been really frustrated with them lately. It seems like there is nothing that they like to do. Its been cold and raining and we have been stuck in the house lately and there is just so many times one can play with play-do. I pray for ideas to do things with them.

Lewis has two job interviews tomorrow and I am so excited for him. He got he first suit for the interviews and man oh man he looks good in this suit. I hope he gets one. I also had a job interview again with FA but I don't think I got it. My friend at FA says they are looking at someone else. I just wish I could be content in the path God is blessing me with right now. Its hard sometimes. I am trying to understand that God sees my work. I am working for Him not the pats on the backs of others. "Do your work wholeheartedly as to the Lord not for man" I am trying to keep this my verse to live by.

We also are not pregnant, lots of downs on my part right now. We are going to take the next two months off because we don't want a Nov or Dec baby. We are praying so hard for a girl. I really hope God blesses our family with a baby girl. Lewis would be such a great girl father, not that he is not a great boy father, but the bond with his little girl will be fun to watch. I can just see that little girl look in to her daddies eyes and say I love you Daddy. Lewis will melt.

Well that is all that is going on in our lives right now. I guess I will get off here and watch some tube since that boys are in bed and Lewis is out with his friend John watching Rocky.

I am praying this week for contentment with what I do, Lewis's job interviews, and my friend who is trying to get pregnant.

Thats it for now.

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.

WHOOP

First Trick or Treating

I love this picture, Lewis looks hot and my boys are just too cute. I am so glad I have this picture. I should so make an album of just Lewis and the boys. I have so many great pictures of them.



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.



I am so greatful that they have such a great friend like Jonathon.

What would we do with 6 of these kids?


This was our first door to knock on.


All in all we got a TON of candy and everyone had a blast.

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

First Family Pictures Oct 2007

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.....
