Sorry
Sorry I've been absent the past few days! My middle son, Caleb, has been sick so we have stayed home. Also, Monday our phone line accidentally got disconnected, so no internet at home. It still hasn't been fixed. :( Hopefully, I'll be able to get caught up tomorrow!

Disney Vacation!
I'm dreaming of a Disney vacation! With my sweet soon to be six year old and my precious three and a half year old. I have been wanting to take Brayden since he was three; I think I may have finally convinced Jeffry that this could be our year! He doesn't want to go when it's extremely hot, so we may be taking Brayden out of school for a few days. I am pretty sure we will stick to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, unless you guys sway me otherwise. I think at least one set of grandparents will accompany us, so we will probably want to book a suite or adjoining rooms with a kitchen area. I need ya'lls help!!
1. WHEN is the best time to go and for how many days with kids this age?
2. Where is the best place to stay? Tell me your MOST & LEAST expensive favorites.
3. Should we eat in the parks or bring our own food?
4. Are there any SPECIAL things that we just HAVE to do if we go?
5. Please give any other advice you can think of!!
I have been checking the Disney website and Mouse Savers, and there is just so much information it's overwhelming!

Living the life
Matthew 3:7-10
7 But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to watch him baptize,[a] he denounced them. “You brood of snakes!” he exclaimed. “Who warned you to flee God’s coming wrath? 8 Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. 9 Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones. 10 Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.
Wow. This really spoke to me. The line in bold just flew off the page at me. Live my life as proof that I have turned to God. I hope that my life is a testimony to others. I know that I make mistakes and have to turn around and ask God for forgiveness. I'm so thankful that He doesn't just give up on me and gives me second, third, and fourth chances. How thankful I am that He is not human...people seem to rarely give second chances to others.
Thank you Lord, for sacrificing Your life for me! You are truly the God of second chances! I want to live my life so that others know You live in me.

Ringing in 2009!
For New Year's Eve, Jeffry and I joined two other couples at Walnut Circle Grill. It was so wonderful! I just love the atmosphere of the restaurant; it's never crowded...I feel like it's "our" spot. We had a blast ringing in the new year! I was so tired the next day though! I'm used to waking up during the night to feed Trace, but I'm not used to staying up late any more!
New year, new look
Sorry for the delay in posting New Years pics! Ahh, I haven't even finished posting Christmas, and it's already the new year! I picked this new layout from The Cutest Blog on the Block, and I love it. Fresh and clean for 2009!
Some of my goals for this year:
* Read the One Year Bible EVERYday
* Get back to pre-baby weight...I'm back to what I was before Trace was born, but I mean before Brayden was born. Yes, that was 7 years ago. Ah. Is it bad if I don't want to diet, but just exercise? I love food too much to quit eating everything I like. And I'm SUCH a dessert person. Bad.
* Write everything in my planner. EVERYTHING.
* Cook at home at LEAST three nights a week.
* Get up-to-date on my scrapbooking. I have Brayden finished through age three, poor Caleb only has his baby book finished, and here I have Trace to get started on! I'm SO behind.
* Get to know more people in the blog world! I've just started following some of your blogs; please feel free to follow mine! I have added the "Follow me" link on the right side of my page.
* Be more intentional in my relationships.
* Keep my house free from clutter! Which I anticipate will be hard with three boys. Especially when the oldest 2 just got Legos for Christmas. Haha
That will do for now. I may post more as I think of them :)
What are your resolutions for this year?
