Special Package?
Yep…my mom is flying in this weekend to surprise the kids. They have NO clue. She arrives at 7 AM. We told the kids that a big package is coming…and they keep saying we cant wait for the mail to come on Sat. I Cant wait to SEE there faces. OH I am so excited to see my mom. Tony was supposed to surprise me as well, but I got it out of him. 
Anyways, life has been good lately. Just taking it easy. Trying to still recover from being sick. I still don’t have answers. But on Sunday I plan on getting myself prayed for. He has the answer.
Tonight me and my sister are going out for some much needed sister time. Talk, Eat, Watch a movie, and if I am not too tired,,,shop a bit. We will see. Oh my gosh I get to eat without my kids. I am so loving this. Only moms understand this. Most of the time….I feed everyone else first. By the time it is my turn…I am too tired to eat, or it is cold, or something.
Funny story, My oldest was talking to the younger boys in the car and he said, “Trust me boys, I have 9 years experience” He is so funny. I would love to get in his head and figure him out. To bad we could not be like the movie Freaky Friday, where the mom and kid change places.
Toast for mommy…
So Ben and Chandler decided to make mommy some toast. I thought well lets give them a shot at making it. About 10 minutes later I came in the kitchen to find this:
They were so proud of themselves. Ben said, well I know you like butter mommy. Um did you see how much butter he happened to put on my toast. Talk about a heart attack waiting to happen! It is the thought that counts, right!
Then a few days later. Kaitlyn comes walking into the office holding this:
Are you hungry Kaitlyn? Dont you think it is a bit big for you baby girl! She was SO mad when I took it away from her too.
Yes my one and a half year old has learned to open the fridge, and she just digs for stuff. I need locks on the pantry doors and kitchen door. She has been eating all the time. I feed her and then an hour later she is hungry again. Can we say…growing like a weed. The boys too. They could eat all day long. It drives me crazy because I buy snacks for school and in 2 days they are all gone. They sneak stuff….what am I going to do with them. Can’t imagine what they will be like when they are all teenagers. And then when there friends come over as well. Yikes, my grocery bill is going to be HUGE! Now if these teenage boys want to all come over and help with the yard, and some things like that, then I am sure we can work out some kind of deal.
Blogs I read.
I did not know that blogs existed over a year ago. Call me naive or maybe it is just that I was not into computers all that much. Then I saw that a good friend had one, and I was HOOKED. I mean HOOKED. That night I set up my first blogger account. Then I got more sophisticated and moved to word press. Since my hubby is so computer savvy, I insisted on doing everything myself, because I wanted to impress him with my new found skills… Then I started getting emails from people that I did not know….I was shocked that people actually read my blog. Little old me. Of course, most that read my blog…DONT COMMENT! That I cant figure out. I would love to see others comments. Maybe it is because you dont know me. So here is your formal introduction. Hi my name is Heidi, I am a wife, and mother of 4, and I really love Jesus, and you are????
Anyways, someone asked me what blogs I read. So I thought I would put a plug in for them. I don’t know all of them personally, some of them you start following there story and you want to know what happened next. Others are friends and this is how I stay on top of what is going on there life. I read a few others, but this is good.

Are we almost there yet?
If you have kids, you know that question will always come. Not just once, but usually many times. At least my kids do that.
I think we do the same thing to God sometimes. We question where he is taking us, and ask, when, why, where, but how…? Or maybe your in the middle of [...]
