Boogers, Burps and other unmentionables....

A group of friends took our children to the Discovery Cube in Santa Ana, Ca. yesterday. That was an adventure if we have ever had one! It was super fun to watch the children run around and have a great day. I actually thought we would be able to walk through and have fun, no children being bad, everyone walking and listening. It was quite the opposite, I mean dont get me wrong everyone was great, no bad kids. They were doing exactly what they were supposed to, explore and learn! I like things to be a bit more organized and it wasnt but I have to say it was super fun anyways!

We learned about all different bodily functions in the Grossology section of the museum. We learned alot about planets, rocket ships ( they completely stink! YUCK) and Dinosaurs. WE did a couple of fun research exibits with the dinosaurs. It was fun running around with our fun wand waving it in the face of different bones and dinosuars. i just keept thinking that if they were real, we proably wouldnt be waving our magic wand in their faces. WE would have run! ha ha ha!!

My daughter was so excited, she took pictures of the whole family and the whole day. I will share a couple! :)

Ok this is me driving Daddy's Truck! Lexis said mom smile!

This was after Lunch, Coco was so not having fun now, he was tired! :(

This is one of my good friends Andrea! I love her!

These are some of the amazing planets we saw, they were so beautiful!

I totally cheated for dinner, We had Taco Bell, apparently it was so great Lexi had to take a picture of it lol

Not quite sure what she was doing, I guess she was bored! HA HA HA HA

We are total goof balls! She wrote as a cation, Nobody NOSE the things we have seen! LOL I want to say something like, We dont mean to be boogers just having fun ha ha ha ha

So as you can see our day was filled with alot of fun! I just hope that it was a memory that my children can cherish for a lifetime. Hope everyone has an amazing day! Now to start thinking about our Thankful Thursday!!!!

Starting the week off right!

I love to start my week off right! I love Sunday mornings when we all get dressed, get all our Sunday bests on and head out. In a perfect world, we would all glide every so gracefully and get everything out and ready, head to church singing praises to Jesus our King and have a great day. In our reality, we are rushing, yelling, fighting and then getting to church, straighting our clothes and putting a smile on our face. It makes me so sad that, it happens that way. I always want to praise Jesus in what I do but I know alot of times I am not doing a very good job. Our wonderful pastor gave a great message today about how with the knowledge and word from Jesus, we should be more powerful in the world, We should automatically know that if we get sick, we are healed in Jesus name, We should never want to be poor, In Jesus name, we are to be wealthy in mind, body and spirit!

I am proclaiming that Jesus helps with our debt and helps to make us whole money wise. We are still struggling with our finances from our youth. We never really saved money, we were very in the heat of the moment. If we wanted it, and we had the money IT WAS GOING HOME WITH US THAT MOMENT.

I hope that with prayer ( I actually KNOW that with prayer) that Jesus will help to heal our finances. If you are feeling the pinch of the economy meltdown, get on your knees and PRAY!!!

We have a super busy week this week! I will be posting different adventures we go through this week! HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY AND GET SOME REST! Your body will thank you for it! :)

Something for Fridays??????

I am a very busy woman, This year I am trying to learn how to cut things down and just chill out! I like to do a million things all at the same time and it is just not a good thing. I mean really who needs to do 1 million things a day? Ok, I do lol!!!!! As a mom of 3 I am naturally extremely busy. I am having to try to take it slow now also because my 2 year old is potty training! He is very capable of doing it, I just dont want him to ha ha. I guess I am scared to let my poor baby actually grow up. He is my last baby. When we had him, I told my husband, The next newborn that is in our bloodline we hold in our arms will be our grandbabies! That is absolutely amazing to us.

ok, so I am trying to figure out something fun for Fridays--- Wow that isnt obvious is it ha ha ha.
How about FUN FRIDAY? I need something fun to start the weekends. It is the hardest when daddy is gone. He would usually be hanging out with us vegging on the couch and just being daddy. It is hard during the school time when we have acutal down time. It will be hard this fall as our first son is playing football! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!! I mean I love football and everyone who knows me knows this ( you now know me! :) ) My favorite team is Cowboys. I just feel so bad because if someone loves football more then me it is daddy! He so wishes he could see his son play a great sport! We have our kids lives planned out ( as most parents do right, or are we the only weirdos? LOL) My daughter Lele will be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, Dizzle will be a Quarterback and Cody will be the defensive lineman all for the Cowboys! ha ha ha! Wow what a dream! I mean I will end up with a teacher, doctor and lawyer! And you know what I will still be so very proud of that!!! I LOVE MY CHILDREN and I cant believe that God blessed me so very much with an amazing family! I guess in order to run this family I need to get busy! Hope you have a fantablous Friday!- Hmmm I like Fantablous Fridays too! HA HA HA

Ahhh the smell of school in the air....

I can totally tell that school is just around the corner for us! We live on a military base and during the begining of the summer, all the houses around you simply become vaccant. It is an amazing process that happens almost over night, all the 18 wheelers come by and the family just vanishes over night. It is quite a process actually! It is almost evenly amazing when you wake up and find out that there is a new family moving into that house that stayed vaccant for how ever many weeks. I went out to bring the garbage cans in just now and saw an 18 wheeler trying it's best to not hit any vehicles as it was trying to fit its big rig down our little street. It makes me wonder how much our walls actually see. What kind of energy they hold in the little holes ( that are more then likely covered with white toothpaste because that is a big military family secret) how much love these walls might have seen and how much fighting they might have heard. It also makes me wonder how much crying and broken hearts the walls have heard and tried to stand taller even though they were sad as well. Our Military life can be filled with alot of heart breaking moments. it is just a way of life for us. I believe it makes us stronger though. If we can make our way though a 6 month deployment, we really can make our way through anything.

I can tell that fall is coming closer because I can see all the fall decorations around! IT MAKES ME SUPER EXCITED because I know my husband is one step closer to being home. ;)

Well, we got sick on Sunday, all 4 of us got a yucky stomach bug, thankfully our youngest didnt have it coming out either end but he had a whinny attitude, and he had every right, I mean when you just dont feel good it feels good to not be nice. If that makes any sense at all. ha ha ha

Well, I am thinking of starting a weekly Thankful Thursday post. I mean everyone is excited for Friday to come, How about the day before??? I am posing we start a Thankful Thursday!
Look for my post tomorrow for what I am thankful for! I hope everyone has an amazing day and start counting your blessings for they are more then you could ever expect! :)

Have a great day!

Save, save and dirty,and give away!

As the new school year approaches, we are dilligently going through clothes and trying on this, nope my love I can see your belly button ( my daughter is so ok with that at 7 -> I just shake my head and say a loud NO) My 4 almost 5 year old is completely oblivious to anything fashion. He thinks everything goes together, God bless his wonderful wife to be one day with amazing fashion and help him to dress! :)

I have been trying to teach my babies a great life lesson because when we release things and bless others, we are opening our hearts for blessings from God. He wants to bless us so much and we just need to show that our way is open to receive. My children are wanting to give away a lot of toys and their clothes because they want to usher in the new.

I feel this is an important lesson for adults too. I know I love to pack rat everything. Do you? Do you have a hard time to give away your items that aunt Frannie gave you 10 years ago for your 25Th birthday and it was just so special it stayed in the box for the whole 10 years in case you needed or pretended to need to use it? What if someone is looking for that particular item? Our memories are in our heart not in our junk. It may be precious but your not using it, why not bless someone with it? God may be trying to give you some blessings but doesn't want to continue to add to the clutter we call precious memories. Everyday is a new day to make memories. Make the memories and add them to your heart! I am going to give a big challenge to my blog readers, I ask that you can try to part with a grocery bag full of clutter and let the blessings start flowing your way!

Have a great Wednesday! :)

Do Not Boast About Tomorrow.....

If you personally know me ( and I hope everyone will soon) you know that I am a big planner! I plan my life out in way advance. I had planned to go to the pool with a friend today, well my two boys Dizzle and Coco ( their nicknames) are not feeling well! :( (pause for awes) Yes it is ok, and to top it off, they have given the yuck to me their hard working mama!
This was a laugh to me this morning as I started to read my daily reading, I have a few bible verses for you today!

Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Proverbs 27:15-16 A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.

Proberbs 27:19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.

Why these verses struck me so greatly I have no clue why. I totally strive every day to be a Proverbs 31 wife. I want to be a woman of intergity and have everyone see that I am a hardworking, trustworthy wife.
The first verse very much spoke to me because I was disappointed that we werent going to go to a pool with a froggy slide! You really have no clue what will happen when you plan today for tomorrow!

The second verse struck with me because as a wife of a Marine, I feel that I have to try to not be quarlsome when my loving husband gets home. I am so 100% in love with my husband. I understand that in every relationship that there is someone who has to give a little or give in to get the fight over. Do we fight? Um yes but are they constant? No!

Now with the third verse, I strive very hard to be a peson of intergity who is loving and honest. I want all my friends to know that no matter what I am always there for them! Now it may be a big bargain but I expect my friends to do the same. I have had a broken heart once or twice when my friends did not recooperate that love and honesty back to me. So for me, I will continue to love and show my loving support to all my friends!

So in conclusion, If you need some help, an ear to lean on, email me! I will try to give you an encouraging word when I can!

Crazy Monday Morning....

You know, it can be very hard to be calm with your children when they are running in three different directions and all wanting to do their own things. It is even worse when they are at the commisary! I totally look like that horrible mom who just doesnt want to control her children. I needed pullups, I just didnt think that a cart warranted a lonely package of pull ups. It sure didnt need my energy. I just loved the pure pittiful looks that the great June Cleaver moms gave me. Oh well anywho, I know my children are amazing and that they were not doing much wrong. They are living in their own world most days, they day dream and have a great life!

I was just watching my daughter make lunch for her and her brothers. She is quite the little helper! My children love to try and do their part for me when my husband leaves. He has been gone since May. My daughter loves to try and cook, clean and fold clothes. She wants to dearly help with laundry. I just keep shaking my head and telling her she has a life time to do it. I mean actually she cant even reach the knobs to turn on the washer. She is a tiny little bit! She weighs 38 lbs and just got out of 5T's. ha ha ha

I am just thankful that God blessed me with amazing children who love and are eager to help. If you are a mom, hug you children, They are blessings straight from God himself! :)

Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to my first post! I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Sonia. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children. We have 2 boys ages 4 ( almost 5) and 2. We have one daughter who is 7 going on 30!

I am married to a Marine. We live in California. We are transplanted from the great state of Texas. We are trying to make the best of a not so great situation.

I have been a Christian for 19 years. My walk has not always been great or close with Jesus. Sometimes that happens with younger people, has that ever happend to you? We recently, in Febuary, started to go back to church. We found an amazing church that just took us in with open arms. I feel it is so important to get our children in a loving church family where they feel the love of Jesus.

So this blog will be about the daily adventures of my family, the craziness we endure and our walk with the all mighty Jesus. I hope to be able to post recipes, craft projects, and definetly some scriptures that really speak to me. If there is anything that you might want me to post please let me know! I can't wait to get to know everyone on my new journey!
