Prayer Please

UPDATE

Baby Stellan was born this morning and both APGAR scores were 9. We serve an amazing and mighty God. MckMama and Stellan or MckMuffin as they call him are both doing fine. Please continue to pray for them. And also for Alison and for my precious Michael
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I come to you today asking for prayer for a couple of little people.

First off Baby Stellan at www.mycharmingkids.net will be born tomorrow. He was given a poor prognosis sometime in the middle of the pregnancy and God has continued to heal him. He will be born about 9:30 am CDT

Also Alison at ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com is having a hard time.

And for my son Michael. He was diagnosed with pneumonia this morning and is having a hard time breathing.

Please be in prayer for these wonderful little people.

Not Me! Monday

So here we are again on Monday.

These are the things that I DID NOT DO!!!!!

I did not drop my son off late for school on monday. I am ALWAYS on time and I am NEVER late.

I did not take Michael to the doctor on monday because his teachers thought he had blisters on the top of his mouth, just for the doctor to tell me that he was perfectly fine.

I did not forget that it was Michael's turn for snack at school on Tuesday. I did not drop him off late for the second day because of this.

I did not go to the fair on wednesday instead of taking Michael to therapy. Because we all know that kids should go to therapy every time they are scheduled.

I did not leave my husband and children almost all day friday so I could help out with church and then flag team and then go out for a girl's night out.

On Saturday I did not help make almost 500 bags of cotton candy. My fingers DID NOT turn blue.

And on Sunday I did not leave my sons side while I was helping out with the church's fall festival. I went around with him and Natalie to ALL of the booths. (THANK YOU so much Terri and Wayne for watching the kids yesterday so that Matt and I could help)

I most certainly do not have something scheduled every weekend until the first week of december. I am always home with my children and hubby.

In a more serioud note please be in prayer for MckMama and Prince Charming and Stellan this week as Stellan makes his debut on Wednesday via C-Section.

Not Me, Monday!

Here we are again with the Not Me, Monday!

These are the things that I DID NOT DO, this week.

I did not go down to Tucson and hang out with my mom and sister after we just got back from vacation last saturday.

I did not let my daughter stand up on the wagon at the pumpkin patch without holding her. Because we all know that the wagon can't go unless EVERYONE is sitting down.

I did not go to church yesterday and go to the senior adult class because my adopted grandparents were in there, and I didn't want to go to class by myself.

I did not call my husbands work and talked to one of his co-workers thinking it was him.

I didn't leave Michael's Nebulizer and braces and my mom's house and have to wait for her to bring them to me. I always remember everything when I travel.

I do not live in the bad part of town, so much so that my neighbors back window got shot out on friday night with probably a bebe gun.

These are the things I did not do.

If you want to participate go to http://www.mycharmingkids.net and read the rules

Have a great Monday.

Please Pray

In late February I started following this blog about this amazing family. Its actually Nathan Lawrenson's blog. His wife Tricia is a couple of months older than me and has had Cystic Fibrosis since birth. They had a beautiful baby girl named Gwyneth Rose who was born 15 weeks early. A couple of months later Tricia recieved a double lung transplant. Since the transplant the Lawrensons found out that Tricia has Post transplant lymphoma. They found out this week that the chemo that Tricia is on, isn't working. Please visit their blog which is located on the right hand side of my blog under "Confessions of a CF husband".

Not Me Monday

This is another Not Me Monday. This is definetly what I didn't do this week

I did not lose my voice for two days last week while we were on vacation. Cuz that is just silliness and who would get sick while they are on vacation.

I did not go shopping with my dad's wife Jody and aunt Candy to go get a couple of shirts for my dad and took too long in M@cy's so that by the time we got to the store for my dad it was closed.

I did not let my daughter run around the hotel room with french fries and get grease all over cuz that would be just really really rude.

I also did not let my kids watch movies all the way home from SLC on friday and saturday. I especially didn't let them watch the simpson movies because that is NOT and I repeat is NOT there favorite movie.

Before we left I totally and completely cleaned out my fridge because that would be one smelly mess that we came home (And boy it DID NOT smell)

I hope you enjoy these Not Me, Monday's and do one of your own. Also don't forget to check out McMama's blog from where I got the idea from

Not Me, Monday

I found this link on a blog I have just started to follow and I thought it was great. If you want to see the original go to www.mycharmingkids.net and follow this mom's amazing story.

Ok so now for my Not Me, Monday.
I did not in any way shape or form do any of these things this week.

I did not scour other people's blog for interesting things to read while putting of the house work that needs to get done. I also did not go to B*rd*rs and buy a book that cost $25 when I really could of just checked it out from the library.

I also did not stay out hanging out with my cousin until midnight which meant that Natalie and I didn't get home till 1 am on saturday night. That would of been so foolish of me considering that I had to get up and teach junior high sunday school the next morning.

I also did not let my one year old have a danish for breakfast this morning, because that would of been unhealthy for her.

I also did not totally ruin my husband's surprise when we went out for our 5 year anniversary on friday night. I did not totally and completely guess where we were going for dinner.

I hope that you enjoy this Not Me, Monday and do one of your own.


Blessings

Michael's Con

So about a month ago we went to the orthopedics doctor, and the doctor said that he had high hopes for Michael and his legs are becoming more and more strong. So about 2 weeks later I was chatting with his teacher and she asked me why the doctor didn't order a stander (like a walker but doesn't move) to help strengthen his legs since he didn't have any strength in them.

My little 3 year old boy had conned his teacher into thinking that he couldn't put any weight on his legs. I told her and said, "You know, he is totally and completely conning you. He can not only put weight on his legs, he can pull himself to stand and balance on a couch for at least 5 minutes." She was totally surprised.

And then the next day I told her the easiest way for her to see how much strength he has, is when she is changing his diaper make him stand up. She did that and then had him stand up at the table and do a craft later in the day.

You know you have a mischievous child when already at 3 years of age he is already conning his teacher. I can just imagine all the mischief he is going to get into when he is older.

Natalie is being her cute self. She is already a drama queen and knows that whenever Mom or Dad go to the door, that she probably gets to go. And if she doesn't get to go then she throws a HUGE and I mean HUGE tantrum. Its so funny but I don't laugh because I don't want to encourage her.

We are excited to go up to Utah in a couple of weeks right after my cousin Ellie and her husband come and visit us. Hope everyone is doing good. Our prayers are with my Uncle Garth and his family as he struggles with Lymphoma and maybe Brain Cancer. He is such a strong man in his faith and I am definetly praying for him
