Lisa Bevere and Lisa Young @ GLO Conference 2011

GLO conference 2011!!  That's right 2000 women from all over the area, under one roof, raising our hearts to God and growing closer together as sisters. 

I am so blessed to be surrounded by a group of strong Christian women.  Women who are willing to walk along side me, and help me to carry the burdens of life. Women of all ages, and all backgrounds who share their wisdom, lives, and most of all their hearts. Always helping me to grow, and learn; and to better myself with Christ's unfailing love!

And this year at GLO, two Amazing women of God; Lisa Bevere and Lisa Young, will share their hearts, with each of us!

E-Mealz.com Review... A First 4 ME!!

I had a great opportunity to try out and review E-Mealz.com, a Dave Ramsey endorsed website! If you know me, you know I'm pretty frugal when it comes to grocery shopping and our my husband and I are graduates of Financial Peace University, and working on being debt free!!I highly recommend FPU and I am loving E-Mealz.com!!

My review is on Blissfully Domestic, check it out HERE.

Menu Plan Monday

Well, It's been about a month since I did a menu plan... and I can honestly say the panic I get when I realize it's dinner time and I don't have a clue what is in the pantry is NO GOOD!!  I like the challenge of coming up with a meal with random ingredients...and being creative in the kitchen... However, doing that at the last minute with 3 hungry kids hanging on my ankles and following my every step is a little more than I can handle. So I'm back to Menu Planning... I love being organized... it keeps me sane! :)

We have quite a busy week this week, so I hope you aren't expecting anything gourmet.  Actually we will be having quite a bit of processed food.. and junk, but I promise to get back to good cooking  and getting back on top of things next week!!

I think I need a bigger Kitchen...

Just 4 short years ago, we moved into this South Texas Home. At the time we had a 2 year old, and a newborn.  I can recall so many days, washing dishes, cooking dinner, and enjoying William playing at my feet, while Cade sat cooing away in his bouncy seat on the kitchen table.  Well... needless to say 4 years later, our dear two year old has grown into a 6 year old and with two more brothers right on his tail at 4 and 2 1/2, and a large furry family member, also known as, Sally, that same kitchen floor has been filled up!  Most of my time in the kitchen is spent chasing someone out, because there just isn't room for 5 warm bodies in this space... I have to admit, I love that they all love to spend time in the kitchen, and be near each other and me when I'm working!  

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday Cade and William!!

Well, it's official!  I can't stop them from growing!! Over the last week we celebrated and celebrated and then celebrated a little more! William and Cade just keep getting older on us!

A few years ago, we decided not to really do big birthday parties. We usually go out to eat(birthday kid pics) and then home for cake and gifts.  This year we had a special surprise and Granny and Papa decided to join the fun so we celebrated a joint birthday the weekend before at non other than CHUCK E CHEESE! 

So here they are...

The sweetest 4 yr old I have ever seen!!! CADE!!

and...

The silliest 6 yr old!!! WILLIAM!!!

We had a great time, and fully enjoyed the time with Michael's Parents... Sorry no pics :)

Birthday Round 2:

Monday January 3rd was Cade's actual birthday so off for more pizza we went! Cici's was a hit and so was the ridiculously decorates "Super Hero Squad" Cake that I managed to mess up... Thankfully he didn't really care as long as the toys were on top!

On January 7th, William turned 6 yrs old... His dinner of Choice Shrimp and Noodles... so we headed to a Chinese Buffet.  All in all he loved the red jello best. :) I think this pic is just too funny!

 Cade and Brennan enjoying the nights events. Brennan had egg drop soup all over his shirt, but man he loved that soup!

 And Home for Lego Star Wars, Chocolate Ice cream Pie!! So delicious, and look how happy William is!

It is such a privilege to be the mother to these amazing boys. Although they can be rowdy, loud, and there is constant competition in our household... I can't image it any other way. The bond these three brothers share is so special, and Michael and I are so blessed to have the opportunity of raising them!  Happy Birthday Cade and William! I love you!
