They were AMAZING!!! I am not normally a big cake fan but these were awesome. I got the strawberry with strawberry buttercream icing one and I let Ethan pick his out. He chose a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. They were very rich and Ethan wasn't able to eat much of his so we ran by Gus' work on our way home and gave him the rest. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He was surprised to see us especially at 3:30 in the afternoon (which is way past Tuckers nap time) but I knew it would be worth the trip. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Gus definitely agreed...It was!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here are some of Gigi's Yummy Cupcakes! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A952ygfqYQk/Tays2J_kW6I/AAAAAAAAKF0/N7wz3cdyX9A/s1600/cupcakes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A952ygfqYQk/Tays2J_kW6I/AAAAAAAAKF0/N7wz3cdyX9A/s320/cupcakes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After many years of wanting and really needing a new computer I was surprised with one for our Anniversary. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Gus and I celebrated 7 years of marriage on April 3, 2011. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Gus couldn't hold the secret in and told me last week that he got me a new computer. My VERY slow and hammy-down comp was going to be replaced!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I will tell you my story really quickly... </div><div style="text-align: center;">When I was in 10th grade (which was ages ago) my parents gave me a computer for Christmas. I used it for many years but then one day it died. And when I say "died" I am not lying. I lost 2 months of Ethan's 22-23 month old pictures. We took it to our IT guy and he couldn't retrieve them! ;-( I was very sad needless to say. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I got a used computer from Gus work. We paid hardly nothing for it but it ran SO slow and gave me trouble shortly after we got it. I had always said I wanted an Apple and we almost bought one a few times but I didn't think I needed an Apple just to check my e-mail. If you know what I mean. I wasn't spending alot of time on the computer then.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well then things changed... I started blogging, taking photos and editing them, and having a few so called "jobs" that I needed a GREAT working computer for. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So then we went back and forth as to what to do and decided I didn't have to have an Apple but I just needed something that would be FAST, and PORTABLE. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So last week Gus told me he had bought me a new computer and it would be at our house sometime this week. So everyday we were anxiously awaiting its arrival and it finally arrived YESTERDAY!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I am SUPER excited and I think it will be a great computer! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I might be spending more time blogging then what I have been doing in the past year. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We will see! Our busy life doesn't leave much time for anything but I am still very happy for the computer.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My photo editing will no longer be a chore but a delight!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks to my hubby!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I Love you, babe. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I feel like 5 is so old and I still can't get over that I actually have a 5 year old. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Have you ever had a child turn a certain age and you just couldn't believe it? Well 5 was it for me!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">With age 5, comes Kindergarden. So I am now in the process of deciding which curriculum is best for us since we are homeschooling in the fall. Well we have been homeschooling Ethan for Preschool but have decided to homeschool him for Kindergarden as well. Even though the schools here are the best in the area/State we still feel homeschooling is the best for him right now. Who knows though, it may change in years to come!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know you are probably wondering why I am already thinking about that, right?? September is 5 months away but the planning/preparing/and buying begins now. I am also planning to attend a Georgia Conference in May so all my final decisions can be made so we can enjoy the summer!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now onto Ethan's Birthday, shall we?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So Friday morning Ethan woke up and wanted waffles. So I pulled out my milled grain and made him some homemade waffles. I recently started putting organic yogurt on the side as a dip and they love it!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">BEATS SYRUP!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">It actually isn't half bad!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then for lunch he wanted good old PP&J with oranges and yogurt. What a simple boy he is. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then we had a surprise visit from MiMi. Well I knew she was coming but it was a surprise to him. She showed up with balloons, a kite, and later gave him his Sheriff Woody outfit. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The Tackle box with all kinds of goodies inside (which you can't see) were from his daddy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SHp801uuLvs/TZI9UL-OFZI/AAAAAAAAKDo/9CwMJU6Wors/s1600/DSC_0436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SHp801uuLvs/TZI9UL-OFZI/AAAAAAAAKDo/9CwMJU6Wors/s320/DSC_0436.JPG" width="206" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the boys trying to fly the kite in the field across from our house. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9k0g858_J7Y/TZI943-ufjI/AAAAAAAAKDs/FLTARiuH6Cs/s1600/DSC_0396.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9k0g858_J7Y/TZI943-ufjI/AAAAAAAAKDs/FLTARiuH6Cs/s320/DSC_0396.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4SHD_VAVHeY/TZI_RFHZCKI/AAAAAAAAKD8/y5xhTTApoh0/s1600/DSC_0388.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4SHD_VAVHeY/TZI_RFHZCKI/AAAAAAAAKD8/y5xhTTApoh0/s320/DSC_0388.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Later that night after dinner, Ethan enjoyed some chocolate cupcakes!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">He says," Mmm, Chocolate is my favorite." </div><div style="text-align: center;">Where did he get that from? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bZCOH7RLFIM/TZJAsVS8t1I/AAAAAAAAKEA/buxCtewREho/s1600/DSC_0405.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="314" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bZCOH7RLFIM/TZJAsVS8t1I/AAAAAAAAKEA/buxCtewREho/s320/DSC_0405.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Whatever Ethan has, does, or says Tucker copies. That's a two year old for you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IA9Ch4x8Lc0/TZI-tnmQ5kI/AAAAAAAAKD4/L6i8krdp4Tg/s1600/DSC_0403.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IA9Ch4x8Lc0/TZI-tnmQ5kI/AAAAAAAAKD4/L6i8krdp4Tg/s320/DSC_0403.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then on Saturday we had a birthday party for him. Which now that I am looking back over the pictures I am disappointed with the pictures we didn't get. But I think they ended up on the camcorder, hopefully!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, we rented one of those bouncing houses and the kids had a blast. We actually had it from late Friday night til about 9 on Sunday morning. So Ethan jumped and jumped and jumped some more. Really til he was exhausted....But it was so much fun watching him have a great time! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some pictures from his party!</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Which in my case was spasms in the neck, along with a pinched nerve and caused my neck to be temporariliy unmovable. It can take up to 2 weeks to go away and you can barely move from your arms up. The pain was pretty bad and I felt very helpless. Thankfully Gus was able to stay home most of the time to help me and then a friend of ours came by and picked up the boys while Gus had a meeting one afternoon. I was very thankful for her bringing us dinner and watching the boys for a couple of hours. It was a lifesaver!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So we still owe Tucker a cake so we can officially take pictures and have something to look back on when he is older.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And besides, he doesn't know that he missed out on a cake and a party.... </div><div style="text-align: center;">We will for sure plan something next year, though!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It is so nice sometimes to actually HAVE TIME to do things. The boys have been pretty content playing together lately (which is a BIG key part to finishing the things I started.) </div><div style="text-align: center;">So how did all this start? First off, I decided that before my busy routine starts back I would take some time to do things I always enjoy doing but never have time to do. Second, I got a sewing maching in November as an early Christmas present from my mom and her mom I figured I better open the box and get started on something. I needed to prove to myself that I still remembered how to sew from back in the day... Which I didn't! I felt like I forgot everything!! But after spending the past few days dilligently working at the sewing machine I can FINALLY say I accomplished something! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I am on my way to sewing to my hearts content...well within reason and level of easiness. </div><div style="text-align: center;">You know, I went to JoAnn's Fabric the other day to pick up some essentials and I asked a lady where some of items were that I needed. After she showed me one particular item she said," Well what are you using this for?" My response was to her, "Well actually I am just starting out with sewing...." and before I could even finish she gave me the ugliest look. I thought to myself," Well every person who sews had to starts out somewhere, You aren't a pro over night." So after that I didn't ask for anymore help and I will be figuring things out for my own now! And you know what? I don't think I did such a bad job on my projects... </div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out what I made yesterday!</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is lined, has a pocket inside, and I even covered card board with the fabric to make a hard bottom.....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/TSytusQGN1I/AAAAAAAAKBM/1XINKrkaXVc/s1600/DSC_0316.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/TSytusQGN1I/AAAAAAAAKBM/1XINKrkaXVc/s320/DSC_0316.JPG" width="214" /></a></div> Here is the fabric I used. I got creative and used one of Gus' dress shirts that is to big for him. I figured why spend money on fabric that I will mess up on when I have an entire box of shirts he can't wear anymore. It was in perfect condition and I didn't have to spend a dime. <br />

</div>I am giving you two pictures b/c it is really hard to see the bag with the light today. It has been raining and is extremely dark in the house. I am also going to have it monogrammed in a navy blue with Tucker's initials so I think that will help the plainness of the bag. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know, it makes you want to run to your kitchen and start cooking, huh? And to know it is good for you, no perservatives, no trans fat or saturated fat, and you can monitor the amount of fat, sugar and salt intake on all these items. </div><div style="text-align: center;">They all tase yummy and are well worth the time in the kitchen. At least for me anyway!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Give something new a try this week and work on perfecting it. It has a very rewarding feeling!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is 2011.... As a young girl I always thought about the future and what Gods plan was for my life. I remember thinking about 2011 particularly and thinking about how far away it seemed at that time. I often wondered if I would be married or have children as well. Did you ever do that as a child?? Think about the future....that is? Well it is 2011 and time has flown by since I was that little girl. Alot has changed since then and I am so thankful for all the many blessings the Lord has blessed me with. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not one to make new years resolutions because most of the time they don't last (actually all the time they never last.) I can only think of two people in my entire life who actually stuck with a resolution for one year. That is pretty committed, huh??</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The only time I ever made a resolution was when I was in 8th or 9th grade. I (along with some other friends of the family) committed to not eating candy or drinking soda for one year. I can honestly say I MADE IT!!! See I am not a big candy eater, I just love cookies, ice cream, and pies, and I only drank water so it wasn't that hard for me. I know you are probably wondering why I did it then, right? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Well if we could make for the one year then our parents would give us $100 at the end of the year. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Not a bad deal for an 8th grader, huh!?!?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Good ole' memories!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well I say all that to say that this past December I decided it was time to try something new. I thought January would be a great time to start but I didn't really make a resolution. I just sat down and talked with my husband one night and told him I wanted to try some things this year. If it works great and if not then I can say I tried. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The idea I had was to have a garden and to make most of our food from scratch.... I'm crazy, I know!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have wanted to make more of the food we eat from scratch for a long time now but haven't really taken the initiative to do it. I have also wanted to have a garden but we have never really had the time or place to have one. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So what I am going to try to do is prepare healthier food with the least amount of preservatives/pesticides as possible....Which means more things will be made from scratch and most of the food will be organic. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't get me wrong, I am still going to make all the things we really like to eat but it will just take more planning and prepping in the kitchen then normal. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have talked with a couple who lives here in RH who have a 1 acre garden and also my husband's grandparents who had a garden for many years in there back yard and grew up on farms in west Florida. Unfortunately I was told that where we live we have to many wild animals and they will eat the garden up.... SO my bubble got burst there. Unless I buy an electric fence to keep the critters out I will be waisting my money on seed. And I am NOT buying an electric fence right now! So I guess now that I have the space and time(haha) the little critters have put a stop to the garden I wanted to have. I still think I am going to try some stuff on our screened-in porch where I can move them around in pots to get sun and keep them safe from the animals in our woods. We will see how that goes. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not going to be able to blog about what I make all the time or whats growing (or not growing) in our yard but I can get you started on something I made today...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I attempted bread. For some of you making homemade bread is second nature but to me it's not. I always found it easier to pick up a fresh loaf from the Publix bakery. I always thought that working with yeast was harder then it should be but then for Thanksgiving my mom and Omi (my German Grandma) showed my sister and I how to make easy homemade yeast rolls and how to make spaetzle<span style="background-color: white;"> </span>(A homemade noodle.) I realized then that it isn't that hard and if all else fails you can make another batch! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> For the price I can make 4 loaves of homemade bread I can buy one loaf at the grocery store. Interesting, right? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well my bread only took 2 1/2 hours to make including the rising twice and the baking. I am looking forward to making a vast variety of homemade foods in my kitchen this year. You should give it a try and if you have questions give me a shout!! <br />
So if I can make my bread look like this the first time, then you should at least give it a try!!<br />

It is often on my mind to write so all our family and friends can keep us with us but time has just not allowed it the past few months. I will try and give you a quick update without boring you and hopefully I will be able to stay on top of this more. I am also going to include pictures under each month as well!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">October: </div><div style="text-align: center;">Since my October post Ethan's soccer has ended. He often ask about it so I think it will be a sport we sign him up for next year. He will be doing t-ball this spring so that will be a whole new sport for us and we will see how he likes it. I guess at his age it is a trial and error process to figure out what they like. ;-) When he starts t-ball he will have practices twice a week and a game each week. I am sure it will keep our week nights busy as well as doing our weekly church Bible study. October was a bit of a slower month for us, which was nice b/c since then things have been in fast gear! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, and my mom was able to come up the last weekend in October. Gus and I had a wedding to attend in Savannah so she came up to spend the weekend and watched the boys that Saturday night so we could go to the wedding. It ended up being a really pretty weekend, so we were able to play outside most of the day and just enjoy the outdoors. She was able to stay and visit our church the next morning and then headed home that Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed the time and so did the boys! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> November:</div><div style="text-align: center;">In November we spent most of the month busy with normal daily and weekly things, playing outside, bible studies, church, and play-dates. I finally made an appointment for the boys to meet there new doctor and they had check-ups while they were there. Ethan weighed 38 lbs and was 42 inches tall. Tucker was 22 lbs. and was 32 inches tall. All went well and we LOVED the doctor. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Ethan did have a sore leg from his shot for a couple of days but overall everything was great~ </div><div style="text-align: center;">The weekend before Thanksgiving the Bandstra's came and stayed with us for the weekend. We enjoyed the company as I think they did as well. </div><div style="text-align: center;">For Thanksgiving week we went into Jax from Tuesday night to Thanksgiving night. That Wednesday we met up with our friends for lunch and afterwards we went took the boys to a park so they could run around a bit before there nap. Gus' grandparents always let us stay with them and it makes it very convenient and helpful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> That Thursday we did the Thanksgiving dinner with Gus' family and then drove back home later that night. My family was coming up the next morning to Savannah so we needed to get home and get some food started. ;-) </div><div style="text-align: center;">That Friday my sister Hannah, Brittany and her family, my mom and Omi came up to have our Thanksgiving dinner. We REALLY enjoyed the weekend with everyone here and did NOT want them to leave. It will probably be a while before we are all together again. But I guess that is how it is when everyone starts to move away. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks to all the Family who came up and spent time with us!</div><div style="text-align: center;">A morning at the park with the Bandstra Family.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/TQ-fmRhnERI/AAAAAAAAJ_E/7CRG4377D2U/s1600/DSC_0242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/TQ-fmRhnERI/AAAAAAAAJ_E/7CRG4377D2U/s320/DSC_0242.JPG" width="214" /></a></div> <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">December: </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Well as we all know December is not over, yet. But so far it is going by fast (not by choice, it just seems to go by faster and faster each year.) My mom was able to visit us one more time before the holidays. She came up the second weekend of December to watch the boys for us again. Gus had his work Christmas party in Jax and we needed to do a little shopping without the boys so she came up to keep them for us that weekend. We ended up driving home late that night after the party so we could be at church the next morning so I could teach. I don't think we will be doing that again---I think we are starting to realize we aren't that young anymore and we tend to exhaust ourselves to often by cramming as much as we can into our lives. So we are going to try and not do that as much anymore...

The boys are getting so big and Tucker is really starting to use words to let you know what he wants. We spend most mornings outside and at the park now that the weather is really nice. The boys love outside and it is great for them to run around and get all that energy out! As Thanksgiving is right around the corner I am beginning to get the baking urge and so I am sure there is a rainy baking day coming soon! I will try and take more pictures of our life and update you more often. We are now into a routine so I hope to be able to capture more of what we do up here in Georgia.</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is Ethan's first year taking soccer lessons. They call it Smart Start Soccer. It is for 3 and 4 year olds. They teach them how to play, the rules, and also play some fun games during practice. Ethan goes every Tuesday night from 6-7 pm. He seems to really have a great time and we all have such a blast watching all the little ones run around. The parents have to be involved with this age group and the kids do not actually play any games but they are sure getting good!Here are some of the pictures that I took during a lesson two weeks ago.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Here are some pictures of our recent trip to Destin, Fl. We we were so excited to be able to meet up with friends and spend a few days vacationing this past month. We spent our days either on the beach, in the pool, or boating. Pretty much in the water alot of the time. It was so beautiful and the water was very refreshing. The guys did go deep sea fishing one day and had a blast doing that.They were worn out afterwards but I think they would have done it again the next day if they could have. <br />
Tucker and Chandler were teething while we were there but they were great troopers.<br />
When we got home I realized that Tucker had 4 back teeth coming in. No wonder he was a bit fussy. I can't believe I missed that! I mean I knew he was teething but I couldn't ever tell how many teeth were coming in so when I was able to get a good look and saw 4 I was shocked!<br />

Here is our view from the condo and the main living room space. You can see Tucker by the small round table. He was pretty happy to be out of his car-seat after being in it for about 7 hours.<br />
What was also really neat was the Lettow's, Broome's and us were all able to stay in the same condo. Which made it alot more fun b/c we got to spend so much more time together.<br />

It has now been over 1 1/2 months since I last posted on either of my blogs. I told you thing were about to get crazy busy... but I didn't know it had already been 1 1/2 months!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Since we moved to Savannah we have had some (friends and family) stay with us in our home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">My sister came for 5 days with her two boys a few weeks ago. We had alot of fun visiting, swimming, talking, eating, and letting the boys play while she was here. I was sad to see her go but I know she was ready to be back home with her hubby who didn't get to make that trip with her.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then last week one of my friends came with her little boy to visit us for a couple of days.We both decided that next time she has to stay longer but I will honestly take any length of visit we get!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As for what is going on with us right now...........well........</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">1.) Ethan is playing soccer-I'll post a picture of him soon </div><div style="text-align: center;"> 2.) Tucker is saying some words--Sometimes it all sounds the same but we are making progress. </div><div style="text-align: center;">3.) Tucker no longer drinks from a bottle.. Which was a huge milestone...</div><div style="text-align: center;">4.) I am the new children's director at our church</div><div style="text-align: center;">Which I am super excited about!! I can not wait for the new Sunday school year to start... Pray for us! It starts this Sunday! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> So since my friend left last Wednesday I have been preparing for a teachers Sunday school informational dinner at our home this past Friday night and then I also did a training class for the ladies last night at our home. So I have been pretty busy getting all that organized. </div><div style="text-align: center;">5.) And we are finally going on vacation soon---We are going to Destin, Fl.!! This will be our first vacation with both the boys ever!! I will have to let you know how they do. I am sure they will have a blast because they love the beach and the sand so I'm sure they will be in digging heaven!</div><div style="text-align: center;">This will also be the first time ever that we have to board our dog. She is going to hate it and probably won't eat at all while we are gone so I am a little worried about that. But she might surprise me, who knows!</div><div style="text-align: center;">6.) Ethan starts school--SOON</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am homeschooling him this year and I am so not prepared for this. I am glad I am writing about it though, b/c I just remembered I need to go order his curriculum for the year....ugghhh, another thing to add to my list of things to do. I decided to start him a little later then normal b/c he already knows most of the things he should know for K-4, so I am not rushing into this with him. Later in the year I will incorporate k-5 and 1st grade stuff with him but as for now we are taking it slowly. I guess I need to get more motivated as well, which I am hoping will happen in the next week or so! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Since I shared a little bit about what's been going on I wanted to share with you some pictures from my sisters visit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/TH07jVy4UXI/AAAAAAAAJl4/rxJOrfi26OQ/s1600/DSC_0448.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/TH07jVy4UXI/AAAAAAAAJl4/rxJOrfi26OQ/s320/DSC_0448.JPG" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> The first night they were there Gus took the boys down to the park.

I am having a hard time finding time to post on the blog these days. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First reason for not blogging lately, we are in our new place. We moved July 5th and July 9th. Woo--I am glad that is over and don't want to do it again for a very long time! The hard part wasn't just having two little ones but all the boxes and everything was so overwhelming that most of the time I didn't know where to start. I was also sad because of the friends and family I was no longer near. Well--I still am sad about that. I don't know that you ever get over moving from a town you have grown up in your entire life. But I am very glad for Gus and know that this is the right thing for us. </div><div style="text-align: center;">With lots of help from Gus we have been able to put a big dip into the unpacking. I think I have 4 large boxes sitting in the living room to unpack and then about 4 medium boxes left to unpack in a closet. So we are getting there!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Gus of coarse has a small to-do list and the garage to finish but I am feeling really happy about our accomplishments this past week and a-half. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The boys are doing well. Ethan is in Vacation Bible School this week and then I have him registered for another VBS next week. We are signing him up for Soccer starting September and then I am registering him for T-ball as well. I think we are all looking forward to when that starts. As for Tucker he has been a bear lately. He is cutting another tooth, he's stubborn, doesn't get along with his brother, and is just plain grumpy. I am praying for this to quickly pass! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Second reason for not blogging, I just got Internet, phone, and cable on Saturday. Our neighborhood is a fiber-optic neighborhood. So we don't get to have Comcast or AT&T as providers. Everything is really difficult to do. It took the guy over 5 hours to install our Internet, Cable, and Phone on Saturday. Yeah--Not exactly what I had in mind to do all day nor did we know it would take that long--but hey--We are connected now! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So there's my short version of our life lately. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh and this past Sunday we were ecstatic to have some friends stop by on there way home to Florida from there weekend in Savannah. We had a wonderful time talking the afternoon away, swimming that evening, and having dinner with them. I told Gus after they left that their visit was exactly what we needed. So--you guys know who you are--Thank You So Much for Visiting US!! We loved it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyone else who wants to stop in to see us, please know your welcome. We love having people over!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't had much time to take pictures but I am planning on taking some of the boys this week. They are growing so fast and getting so big. I will be sure to do that soon so you don't miss out on there cute little faces!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That is all for now, folks. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a great rest of the week! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We ARE moving on July 9th.<br />
A couple weekends ago Gus and I were able to leave the boys with his parents while we went house hunting. It was a long but fun day. I had been praying for the past week before this trip that God would show us the house he wanted us to have. I had been in search for a home off and on for the past 6 months so I felt like I knew better then the Realtors what was out there. We knew God had his hand in it and he would make that perfect house available for us. Well he did. Of course there are a few things here and there that I would change about it but I am not complaining. I am very thankful we were able to find this place and hope that the boys will love it and that we will transition well.<br />
So thank you for all of you who were praying for us! We appreciate it so much.<br />
<br />
We do not know how long we will be in Savannah. We have been told this is a permanent move but we will really know more come the end of next summer. Yes...Summer of 2011....Sounds so far away but I know one year will fly by. I am looking forward to meeting new people, attending the church plant we were apart of last year while up there, taking on a slower pace of life, and enjoying family and friends visiting us at our new place. <br />
<br />
Continue to be in prayer for me as this Saturday I will be saying good bye to my sister as she leaves for Baton Rouge for 3 or so years. I know I make it sound like its on the other side of the world but it will be a good 12 hours from us in Savannah. I am a mess just thinking about it...<br />
So I will stop rambling and go attend to my children now! Thanks for listening to me rant and tell you about our move.<br />
<br />
Have a great week!</div>Krystenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10185182344518981759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526355494370564020.post-46520801110697623262010-06-16T16:06:00.001-05:002010-06-17T09:15:06.290-05:00Whats Been Goin On?<div style="text-align: center;">Ok so its been way to long since my last update.days since my last post. Lately it has been--well-- CRAZY-- is an understatement. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Recently and when I say recently I mean within the last week we found out that we are moving. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We knew it was a possibility but we just never knew when. We also didn't expect (well I guess I should say "I") didn't expect it to be this soon. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know I have talked about trying to sell our home in the past and it just hasn't happened.With us planning on moving before July 10th we knew we would have to make some decisions. Our Realtor was really sweet and said she would let us out of our contract so we could try to rent the house. Which is what we are going to do. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I listed it on Craigslist and have talked with 4-5 people (who all check out--no scams) and are going to look at our house. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Woop--woop... I am pretty excited about that but I just pray that we will be able to pick the right renters for us. It is a scary thing renting your home for the first time. I sure don't want anyone coming in an ruining things. So we are being very careful, getting background checks amongst a few other things. So hopefully no worries there. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So yes, we are moving sometime between July 8th-July 10th to Savannah Ga. I am busy making appointments for renters, packing, playing with the kids, calling and e-mailing on homes for us, and much more. I feel like I'm running a circus!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I am thankful Gus has a job and I will always support him. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well I must run for now. I need to finish a few things before our two appointments tonight. Hopefully I will get a chance to update you next week once we decide on a place. So for now-- Have a great rest of the day!</div><br />

Seeing how hard it is though to take a picture of him they are usually blurry or not of his face. He is extremely hard to take pictures of because he SO busy but regardless of how bad they turn out I am determined to show you how big he is now.<br />
He also has the cutest smile but I can never capture it....</div><div style="text-align: center;">I promise he does smile!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Here are a few pictures from the last few play times and guess what-- you might see a smile or two...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He makes me so proud. I sound like a mom but honestly I am his #1 fan.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yesterday I told you we were heading to dinner tonight and we are. We have reservations at Maggiano's and I already know what he is going to order, the Pesto Pasta dish. Although he may surprise me and have something else due to the fact that last night I cooked him his birthday dinner request. Ribs (taken from our Prime Rib on Sunday), pesto pasta (completely homemade), and veggies. Let me just tell you, I am no griller. I will leave that to him from now on. The meat was chard (I felt so bad) it just cooked faster then I thought. So Sorry! </div><div style="text-align: center;">He also wants to see the new <a href="http://www.robinhoodthemovie.com/">Robin Hood Movie</a>, which is coming out today. Can you say...PACKED...Yup, I am pretty sure it is going to be packed. So I may have to take him in a few weeks. You know--once the crowd dies down--I'll let you know on Monday what the final decisions was. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am more in love with him today then when we got married. I didn't think it was possible. How can someone love someone more then when they get married? But they can. The longer your together, the more stuff you go through together, the deeper your love grows. I know this sounds mushy and all but it's the truth. I do think he is a wonderful Father and amazing Husband. What can I say?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Birthday Gus! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I Love you!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-1WeAMXX0I/AAAAAAAAJQs/aVLQGB4D_qE/s1600/DSC_0210.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-1WeAMXX0I/AAAAAAAAJQs/aVLQGB4D_qE/s320/DSC_0210.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Birthday Daddy....This is the card Ethan made Gus last night.

I know mine was. We enjoyed the entire weekend relaxing, spending time with the kids, visiting with our moms and thanking the Lord for all he has done for us. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know I am not perfect... I have alot of imperfections but with the Lords help I can be a women, wife, and mom that exemplifies Christ. I have such a desire to train my children in the way of the Lord. I pray that they will come to know Christ as their personal Saviour. It is a huge responsibility we have and I pray I do not take it lightly. One thing's for sure, with two boys to raise my task will not be easy, I am bound to mess up along the way. It will not always be served with a cherry on top but this is the path the Lord has for me. I am to love, train, discipline, guide and instill God's truth into my children. It is comforting to know that God will be holding my hand along the way and loving me through it it all. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I pray that I will allow God to constantly show me areas that I need to work on, in order to be the kind of mother, wife, and woman of God that He has intended.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I'm reminded of the wonderful grace that God provides. I'm thankful for the salvation He has given me. And I'm thankful for the opportunity to be a mom...</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Hope you enjoyed your Mother's Day. And don't forget, "Mother's Day shouldn't just be one day of the year we show appreciation to our Moms. It should be everyday."</div><br />

I am sure you are all saying, "It is about time." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I tend to ramble and show way more pictures then what people are interested in, so I decided that today will be the last post on our trip. I also won't bore you with all the little details of our really good dinners. I am sure you are thanking me right now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was a little bookstore/restaurant that we stopped at while on our drive through the Cape. The food was average but every other meal we had while on our trip was amazing so I guess one dish could be average.

This restaurant was our favorite of them all. It was a Tuscan style restaurant and we both enjoyed homemade pasta dishes and a dessert from this place. The owner/chef and his wife ran the restaurant as well as made all the food from scratch. It was just a perfect little romantic place to end our last night.<br />

It was french toast but it was made different then I have ever seen before. This was actually a picture of Gus' meal b/c I don't eat ham and he loves it!<br />

I had a hankering for Pizza and so that is what we got.<br />
This might be deceiving with looks but the taste was--well--I think the best pizza I have had in a long time, so this last piece didn't last long. <br />

I wouldn't want to leave them out....</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here are my post from Mommy Buzz about our Cape Cod, New England trip. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Back to the Good Ole.....Life </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well I'm back...</div><div style="text-align: center;">After a week off from blogging I am ready to get back into the groove of things. As some of you know I also took some time away from the blog to vacation with my husband. It had been way to long since our last getaway and it was much needed. I hope you can understand now as to why I chose to not let everyone know I was gone. I wanted my kids, my sister and her family (who watched our boys for us) to be safe and not to worry about people knowing we were away. Although I wanted to write about it because I was so excited I decided to hold off until I returned. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you didn't mind! :-)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As I was preparing for this trip, that I was highly anticipating might I add, I was also nervous and already missing my boys that I hadn't even left yet. The preparations for getting the house cleaned, laundry completely done, play with the kids and give them my undivided attention while they were awake, pack, write a list for my sister about schedules and so on was time consuming. Don't get me wrong, loving and playing with my kids is <i>NOT</i> time consuming.....It is precious time. It was everything else that wasn't fun but I knew in the end it would all be worth it. And it <i>WAS</i>....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So that was reason number 1 I took time away. So I could prepare and spend time with my kids before the trip. Reason number 2 is that I was finally getting alone time with my husband and I wasn't going to let anything come between that. Those of you with children understand how rare it is to have complete quiet time with the hubs. I mean can you believe I getting excited over having a meal without food flying everywhere for once. Just kidding ---my kids don't throw food but I was looking forward to quiet relaxed meals... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband and I had planned to go to bed early, be completely packed, try to relax and be nice and rested for the trip. Well sleeping was a joke....Although we were packed and ready to go I think we were too ready. Can that be possible?</div><div style="text-align: center;">We both tossed and turned for at least an hour once we were in bed. I am sure you can imagine my racing thoughts that Thursday night. After all the thoughts went through my head I started to pray," Lord, I know you are in control. So please help me rest well and <i>GO TO SLEEP</i>." So I did finally dose off to only wake a few hours later to my 4 am alarm. Yup... That's right my friend. 4 AM. Our plane was leaving at 7:30 am on Friday morning and we had to be at the airport by 5:30. What was I thinking booking an early flight? I guess I wasn't thinking at all but with all the excitement that I had I was able to jump out of bed, get ready, and make it to the airport without any signs of sleep deprivation. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">"Whoo, What a relief..... We made it and with tons of time to spare and no problems getting through security." Is what I whispered to my husband as we sat down outside the gate we were about to board. I remember thinking, "I am getting 4 entire days with my husband, what am I going to do with all this time?"</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well we had lots planned but more on that later.....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">15 Minutest into our flight I told him I was bored.I wasn't used to lull time and now I had to site there for 2 hours with <i>NOTHING</i> to do. So I grabbed a book and tried to read but that didn't last long. I am not a reader and it wasn't holding my interest. At least I tried to enjoy a good book, right?</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know that sounds horrible but he was all into his book and I just wasn't into mine.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So what did I do? While my husband joyfully read. I wrote. Yup, can you believe how fast the time flew. Before you knew it we were landing. Now the fun begins....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You know what? I never told you where we were going, did I? </div><div style="text-align: center;">Cape Cod, New England. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have another post planned for tomorrow with more stories and adventures of our trip. As for now we are home and I have stuff to catch up on. I must go and love on those boys that I so terribly missed and that are very excited to see me, might I add. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(This was another days post below that I am including into 1 big post today)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>A Lovely Walk</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Today's post is a pick up from yesterdays <a href="http://busymommybuzz.blogspot.com/2010/05/back-to-good-olelife.html">Back to the good ole...Life</a>. Basically I will show you pictures and tell you short versions of mine and my hubby's vacation from this past weekend.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So onto our trip. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Our trip was from Friday Morning April 30th-Monday Night May 3rd. We visited all of Cape Cod and some of Boston. It was neat visiting all the little towns and seeing what each of them had to offered but we did cover alot of ground in that short time. Some of the towns were established as early as the 1600's. Which was really interesting to see.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some pictures to go along with our trip....Well alot of pictures. I will post in parts each day so I don't overload you with them all. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We stayed at a place called Captains House Inn. It was located a few blocks from the ocean on 2 acres in Chatham, New England. It was absolutely gorgeous, romantic, peaceful, and the service and breakfast was always excellent. Each morning the chef/owner/innkeeper made an outstanding breakfast, each afternoon they served tea, and in the evening they had cookies, tea, and coffee. The Inn didn't serve lunch or dinner so we found restaurants with amazing food each day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMbc1Z5II/AAAAAAAAJEw/vfofZwlfdTI/s1600/DSC_0142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMbc1Z5II/AAAAAAAAJEw/vfofZwlfdTI/s320/DSC_0142.JPG" />'</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the Main house(where we stayed.) They also have a Carriage House, Captains Cottage, and Stables for a total of 16 rooms and suites. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DM4vVPC0I/AAAAAAAAJFg/XedQda1OITw/s1600/DSC_0068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DM4vVPC0I/AAAAAAAAJFg/XedQda1OITw/s320/DSC_0068.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DM6QWgw2I/AAAAAAAAJFo/4OU96aq7Aqg/s1600/DSC_0069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DM6QWgw2I/AAAAAAAAJFo/4OU96aq7Aqg/s320/DSC_0069.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DOM59BOGI/AAAAAAAAJF4/O1hiB3XZegk/s1600/DSC_0500.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DOM59BOGI/AAAAAAAAJF4/O1hiB3XZegk/s320/DSC_0500.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMfGrpuNI/AAAAAAAAJE4/YkT_Ivu-3Ms/s1600/DSC_0061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMfGrpuNI/AAAAAAAAJE4/YkT_Ivu-3Ms/s320/DSC_0061.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMwgX4BAI/AAAAAAAAJFY/_OTLsbh2xdc/s1600/DSC_0063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMwgX4BAI/AAAAAAAAJFY/_OTLsbh2xdc/s320/DSC_0063.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMp67THZI/AAAAAAAAJFQ/8NdIAg0w8m4/s1600/DSC_0065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMp67THZI/AAAAAAAAJFQ/8NdIAg0w8m4/s320/DSC_0065.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMideye1I/AAAAAAAAJFA/EzMWUsJ72Jw/s1600/DSC_0064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DMideye1I/AAAAAAAAJFA/EzMWUsJ72Jw/s320/DSC_0064.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DM8-MLn_I/AAAAAAAAJFw/kw2_mmSlBZ4/s1600/DSC_0070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-DM8-MLn_I/AAAAAAAAJFw/kw2_mmSlBZ4/s320/DSC_0070.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">These are pictures of our room and bathroom.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">As I continue to look through my pictures I have so many to share with you. I will have another post tomorrow of the beaches and shopping photos I took.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Beaches and Lighthouses</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I think I am getting close to being done with showing you some pictures from our trip. I know your thinking--few-- this is not a few but I can't narrow them down very well--as you can see. I have one last post tomorrow with food and shopping pictures to show you. After that I think I will be done but for today here are pictures from the beaches and lighthouses we visited. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the first beach we attempted to walk on. Due to them working on the ramp and stairs down to the beach they had the beach access closed off. This is one of the thirteen lighthouses on the Cape.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IUuUibbeI/AAAAAAAAJKA/0ag2f0PXbTo/s1600/DSC_0183.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IUuUibbeI/AAAAAAAAJKA/0ag2f0PXbTo/s320/DSC_0183.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is Gus--as if you couldn't guess--just gazing out on the beauty and calmness of the morning water.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IUs5htQyI/AAAAAAAAJJ4/u42obQT9x1k/s1600/DSC_0176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IUs5htQyI/AAAAAAAAJJ4/u42obQT9x1k/s320/DSC_0176.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This next beach was in my opinion the prettiest beach of them all. It was in Truro,on the Harbor side. The water was absolutely gorgeous and the weather was perfect. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think we only have 3 from the entire trip of us both in it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This next lighthouse is the Chatham lighthouse and beach. It overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. It was pretty chilly this particular morning and we had planned to come back to walk once it warmed up more but this weird fog came rolling in not even 15 minutes later and it lasted til the next day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IWkF6eEyI/AAAAAAAAJLw/3nWF78sUcFM/s1600/DSC_0349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IWkF6eEyI/AAAAAAAAJLw/3nWF78sUcFM/s320/DSC_0349.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IWfxQ9KoI/AAAAAAAAJLo/R5JyycOSbvw/s1600/DSC_0340.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S-IWfxQ9KoI/AAAAAAAAJLo/R5JyycOSbvw/s320/DSC_0340.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This next set of pictures is from Quissett Harbor in Falmouth.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know I don't spend as much time on the family blog as I should to update family and friends with the day to day hustle and bustle of life and so to take a break from this blog would just be normal. You aren't used to more then 1 post a week if your lucky. I hope to start updating you more if time allows when I return from a small break. Since I decided to do a blogging break on my <a href="http://busymommybuzz.blogspot.com/">Mommy Buzz</a> blog and will also do the same here. I will have some exciting things to share with you when I return and look forward to catching up with you next week. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the post I wrote to my Mommy Buzz readers.... </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have decided that I am going to take a computer break this week. Well-- I mean blogging break--I will still check facebook, e-mails, and be available by phone. Which by the way--This past weekend I had a virus on my computer/e-mail and it sent it to everyone on my contact list. I was SO frustrated that words could not describe how I felt. But I did get it fixed-- I HOPE--It seems to be fixed for now but if something changes then I will have to change my e-mail address but I will keep you updated on that.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Ok-- So that was my little tangent but now back to what I was saying. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I sometimes spend WAY to much time blogging-- well maybe not as much as some people-- I guess...... but more then I should sometimes. I can't help it! I LOVE blogging. But I have lots planned for this week and upcoming weekend and there is NO WAY I could do it all and blog. I promise I will be back refreshed and have some NEW things to share. So stay tuned for that... </div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">And Remember.....</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a few good days - and take some time away from the computer yourself! I bet we would all be surprised by how much extra time in the day there is when we don't spend so much on the computer! :-) </div><br />

Just in case you were wondering why I post on both sometimes--it is so family can see the pictures. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">So I am back, up and running. I have been able to catch up on some sleep (well somewhat since the boys have been sleeping late) from the nights that both my boys didn't sleep this past weekend. I am thankful they are feeling better and that we are back to our normal routine. </div><div style="text-align: center;">We enjoyed yesterday playing and cleaning but as I was busy scurrying around I realized I didn't know where my little one was. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Guess where I found my little stinker?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S85TXHOBCII/AAAAAAAAJDg/1vjp_MGK6Bw/s1600/IMG_0548%5B1%5D" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S85TXHOBCII/AAAAAAAAJDg/1vjp_MGK6Bw/s320/IMG_0548%5B1%5D" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yup..On the table.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S85TUuKu7dI/AAAAAAAAJDY/qJfMUfdEnZw/s1600/IMG_0547%5B1%5D" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34DA3qr7XOU/S85TUuKu7dI/AAAAAAAAJDY/qJfMUfdEnZw/s320/IMG_0547%5B1%5D" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Look at his smile.

Needless to say--I didn't take my eyes off him after that.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also I had to use my phone to take the pictures so I must apologize for the lack of photography skills on these.

Please forgive me! I know those of you who live far away will enjoy seeing updated pictures.<br />
If you were able to read Monday's post then you will know what we were up to this past weekend. All our others weekends have been filled with showers, parties, or gatherings for church. Oh and Easter, which I was only able to get a few pictures from but some is better then none, right? Other then that--we are spending more time outside trying to enjoy the weather before it gets so overwhelming hot.<br />
<br />
Gus has been busy with jobs and bids lately, which is a good thing and has been working around the house and yard on small projects. As some of you know we have our house for sale. It has been something we are in constant prayer over due to not knowing where the Lord is going to put us this year. I know the Lord will have it all work out perfectly for his plan and we must continue to be patient and wait on Him. We have been told that we may move to Savannah but "when?" is the big question for us. So please pray for us and all the decisions that need to be made.<br />
<br />
Ethan is doing great, he has been working on writing, reading, and spelling. Although he is a ways off from reading books, he can write his ABC's, spell his name, and spell words. I am so proud of him! He <i>LOVES</i> dinosaurs, playing outside, cooking with me, loving on his brother ---although sometimes he will aggravate the stew out of Tucker. We pray that he will one day come to know the Lord as his Saviour. He has been asking alot of questions about God and His love for us. He is sometimes so sensitive about it that he cries and says, "God loves me so much." It is precious to us to see and hear how much he loves the Lord. <br />
<br />
Tucker is a ham. He is full of laughs, energy, mischief, and everything in between. He does have a strong will so training him is/ will be a challenge.Tucker loves to be outside, enjoys playing with balls, likes to take long walks, and as of now is only saying, "mama" and "dada." He doesn't even need to talk b/c he has his big brother to talk for him. :-) Ethan will tell you everything....Tucker can do sign language for 'please' and we are working on a few others. I think he is doing great, after all --he is only 14 months.<br />
<br />
Enjoy these few pictures from Easter Sunday.<br />
