Kids Are So Cute !

After my last post I've really seen a change in my outlook on life. I've started to be in my bible everyday. A big thing has been seeing God as my life-source. I've tried to be completely dependant (underlined) on Him. I can be a very independent and controlling person at times. So when I felt those emotions coming on I would run to God like a child and cry out to Him for strength or direction or peace to get through the day. This has totally helped me enjoy the week. I am more at peace about staying at home and doing laundry. I stop to read magazines, go visit a neighbor down the street, play with the kids whatever games they come up with, go grocery shopping, go to the library, etc... I've started to actually enjoy these mundane events and have stopped longing to be somewhere else, do something else, run away from responsibilities. The responsibilities are actually giving me much joy. Why? Because I have given up control to God. Because I have stopped to enjoy the days moments. I have given my wants and needs to God and have started to trust Him with the details. I have been thinking more of my family and friends and less of myself and my needs. But when I do think of me I tell God about it, not my parents, husband, friend. Try to anyway, less than normal. I am not here to say I am finally perfect, but I had to at least write how life has been after watching Joyce Meyer and gleaning her wisdom.

Now for the good stuff. Josh has been talking more and more and I wanted to document it before I forgot, because I am definitely showing those signs. Recently I've brought out snacks to Him and he has said, "OH WOW! or OH BOY!" very dramatically. He knows so many letters now verbally and visually like: A, B, C, D, E, L, O, S, T, V, Z, M, N It is amazing to me. He sings the alphabet pretty good and tries to sing all the other songs Hannah likes to sing. We've been singing "This Little Light Of Mine" with the actions and Josh said, "Mom, Mom this" and showed me his pointer finger for this light of mine, goign around in a circle. It was cute and He started to blow it out with a rasberry. lol. That's what make that song fun for them. = ) He says, "Mom watch (with a lisp)", "HEY!" "Here ya go", "Where are you?", "Hi Sissy", "Are you okay?", "I love you daddy." "bye",
"please", "thank you", "milk", "orange", "nana (banana)", "Hannah","Josie","JoJo", "Mariah", "Sarah", "Austi", "mommy", "eat", "all done", "owie","up", "story", "googles (for the wiggles)", "circle", "eyes", "ears", "nose", "head", "hand", "teeth", "potty", "what's this?", "Oh!" That's all I can remember. He knows some animal sounds, colors and shapes. He's been sick today with a 101 F fever. Not sure if he has a cold or if he is teething. But it's hard to see my baby not feeling well.

Hannah sings and dances and acts out characters all day long. Songs she sings are: "Baba Black Sheep", "Twinkle, Twinkle", "ABC's", "Jesus Loves Me", "Hosanna by Paul Baloche", "This Little Light Of Mine", "Do Re Mi", "He's Got the Whole World" but with this song she cracked me up she started singing, "He's got Brian and Daddy in His hands, He's got Brian and Daddy in HIs hands, He's got BRian and Daddy in His hands, they're the same in His hands." lol. Where does she come up with this stuff. She makes up her own songs and sometimes I go write them down cuz' they're good. lol. We were praying tonight before bed and she wanted me to pray for some make believe kids that I became. I asked her why she had them as her friends and she said because she didn't have anybody else to play with. She needs some playmates that girl. I tried coaxing her to play with Josh, but that hasn't worked yet. Josh can play on His own much better than Hannah.

We talked to my parents on IChat tonight and my dad asked Hannah and Josh if they would share their food with him. So they both handed him some cherrios and raisens up to the computer so He could have some. It was cute.

Anyway, that is probably enough for now. Austin is on the floor beside me fast asleep totally snoring. It's kinda cute and kinda annoying. = )

Well, have a great weekend. It is going to be big so be praying!!!! If ya know what I mean. = )
