Ramblings of Wife, Mother & Romantic

Archive for May, 2008

If anyone knows me, they know that i am not big on the whole ‘Lets dress our kids up in make-up and poofy hair and have them dance on a stage in their little tiny outfits that cost way more than they should.’ But this past year my daughter (Adia) has been in Ballet/Tap thanks to a great person who wanted to pay for her to go.

She has had fun, but has not been overjoyed when Monday rolls around and she has to go, she would rather go to the clubhouse at bashas with her brothers. The end of the season has come and now its the day of her recital, She had dress rehersal last night. I had to sit through 13 acts before i could see my sweet little angel, so attentive and trying to do everything the way she needs to, ( She is the kind of girl that wants people to like her and thinks she does a good job) Now here is (me) watching my first born in her little butt hugging outfit, with her eyes on me wanting to see approval. She’s growing up so very fast and i dont know where the time has gone. Now i dont entirely approve of the out fit, but she brought a tear to my eyes. She was the best one out there!

So i put so many, but she is so darn cute!

When i woke up Monday Morning and took The Dog out to go potty i saw a beautiful sight, Our Neibours to the left of us had these 2 flags blowing in the breeze and to me it was amazing….i dont know how many people put out flags on memorial day but it made me wish i had. I pay tribute to all the men and woman who have served or serving for our nation. God Bless you!

I have been a big time slacker in writing lately, don’t know why, guess not much to talk about or worth talking about. I did have an amazing weekend, got to spend the entire day of Saturday with my husband, which has not happened in many moons. We spent a good portion of it at our local Lowe’s Hardware store. Where i became the proud owner or some power tools to aide me in my sign making endeavours without relying on others to help me (thanks Chris for all you’ve done) My garage now is a haven of sawdust and woodworking. I love it. Along with all of that My hubby bought me a new outfit and 2 new pairs of shoes, (it was suppose to be one3 pair but if theirs a sale of buy 1 get one half off, what is a girl to do)

Of course He had to get something as well, so me being a good wife allowed him to buy a shotgun, i shot it once and it scared the living crap out of me, i felt like i had no control over it, i think i will stick to smaller guns.

The children have been superb, Ian is still doing fabulous at the whole going potty like a big boy.

When i have more interesting things to talk about or some good photos i write more.

I was able to capture a life changing moment. Nathan Batson got Baptised last night. He showed the world that he is no longer the old man, but created in God’s Image & is a New Man, never to be the same again. The image here is a man giving His all to God. This young man is amazing, he is sweet, Kind and has a heart for God. I am proud to know him.

OK, so this might not be the coolest thing to blog about but its about my life and all my ups and downs, joys and passions, so here we go.

My dear sweet Ian Mathews is roughly 2 1/2 years old, and is in the midst of potty training, There comes a time when your starting out this process where you stop and look at the progress and realize there is no turning back, We have now reached that all so critical stage with Ian. He’s a bog boy now and there is no going back to the old ways of life, to my little diaper clad boy.

For the second morning in a row he has gone to bed with undies on and woke up at 6am dry telling me he has to go potty ( actually this morning it was ‘i want to watch cars’ ) then he went potty.

I am so proud of him, and i know its a silly thing to maybe go on and on about, but he’s my last baby, and it makes me sad in a way, after 5 years of always have a someone in diapers, or nursing, or bottles, that this is the end, we have turned a page in the book of our lives and moved on to a new chapter. One just as good as the last, just differant. Gone are the days of sleeping in till late in the day just because we could. Gone are the days of carrying around huge diaper bags. I will miss those days, but look on to the new day and be blessed by the days ahead.

The one thing about my husband that i absolutely love is he is always thinking up new ways for our business to make money. His latest is T-Shirts, so we bought a heat press and these are some shirts that i made myself….i have a few more being worked out in my head that i want to design. Let me know what you all think.

Yes it is beautiful is it not? This was one of my Mothers day gifts that came UPS today, I got a hardshell case as well, but it is the wrong fit so we have to send it back and get the right size. I am so excited, we even got a babysitter all lined up so i can go to Rudys office and we can jam together. aaahhh now thats the life. I have such an amazing husband that buys me my own guitar instead of making me use his. I will defiantly look hot on Tuesday morning (Tasha). haha.

Adia and Lennon had their second rounds of immunization, It breaks my heart to see them sad. This time did go better than last month ( Adia full on was punching me and telling me she hated me) Daddy came with us and he took Lennon back when it was his turn and i took Adia, This time while being given the shots she kept crying out ‘I love you’ it was most heart breaking. They both did really well, and we only have one more round next month then not any more till 6 months.

(One a side note something Adia has been telling me which i thought was pretty funny. Whenever its bedtime and she doesnt was to sleep, which is most every night, she tells me she wants to be home schooled so she doesnt have to go to bed as a certain time and wake up early. Poor little waif, I tell her home schooled or not she still has to go to bed at 8:30pm.) children crack me up with their logic.

This is Adia & Lennon showing off their new toys daddy bought them for be brave today. Adia and her my little pony’s tea set and Lennon with his speed racer car.

Today all over our Country Mom’s were celebrated for all they do. Being a Mom is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world, you have to multi-task, do the bills, wash the clothes, teach and raise the children, be a role-model for the children, Support and help your husband, wash and walk the dog, feed the animals, yard work, even a little plumbing once in awhile & maintain looking your beautiful self. Kudos to all the moms out there. Hope you had the ‘Best Day Ever’

My Mothers Day started yesterday, me and the kids got to hang out with Daddy all day, which was a huge treat for us, (He’s such an amazingly hard worker and provider for his family) My First gift was Perfume from ‘Mary Kay’ called ‘Bella Belara’ Smells pretty darn nice too. The second was Rudy ordered me my own Acoustic Electric guitar with a built in tuner ( i am retarded when it comes to tuning a guitar) it also has a hard shell case. I am so excited and can’t wait for it to get here.

My third gift was Rudy took the kids down to the park and video taped them telling me all the things they loved about me. It was so sweet it made me cry. ( I tried Posting it on here but failed at every attempt, I think its the wrong file type, but i do not know how to change it) any advice would be helpful.

fourth gift was a new dress and shoes that i wore this morning to church, and might i add i did look smoking HOT.

Also today Adia picked me out flowers and we went and had lunch after church. All in all it was one of the best Mothers days, i think they just keep getting better with each passing year.

I just watched this movie, started it last night and finished it today. All i can say is WOW! I cried like a baby all through this movie, and i must say it made me think, of what i would do if my husband died young. All i know is, i don’t ever want him to, I’ve concluded that we are going to die together at a ripe old age. Cause i would be lost without him, we definitely complete each other.
