Christmas Time!!

Wow!! I can't believe it's Christmas Time again. I mean in just like 8 days, it will be Christmas and then it will be over again..and then we go into my worst part of the year. I don't like January and February to much. It's sooo cold, nothing really to do or to look forward to and it's so stinkin dreary outside. I look forward to Spring though. It just seems it takes so long to get here. I wish I could go somewhere were it is warm for a few months. I don't mind it being cold up until Christmas but then I think it needs to just get warm. Haha..okay I've went on and on about nothing..LOL!! Haley's Birthday is in Feb. so thats something to look forward to..I can't believe she is going to be 9 years old..next year she will be a fourth grader!! That just don't seem right!! And then theres Taylor...she will be 4 in April. She'll be starting school before I know it!! Where did my babies go!?! They'll always be my babies though!!! Here's a picture of them from Disney World when we went back in October. Okay the picture went in the wrong place but oh well...Well I guess thats it for now..Oh yeah, if anyone does still read this would you please say a prayer for our Christmas Play that we are having this coming Sunday, Dec. 21. Thanks!!

It's me again...twice in one week...

Hello all of my many viewers..haha... It is Tuesday. Not much going on today...after Haley gets home from school I've got to take her and get her Brownie Sash. She has a ceremony on Thursday night and has to have that. I hope I can find the place..not to good with directions.

Not to much has been going on in my life lately..other than I'm not working now. I really enjoy being at home too...I'm sure it won't last but I'm going to enjoy it while it does.

Well guess thats it for now...I'll try to have more to write about later.

It's be a very LONG time!!

I'm sure there is no one out there still looking at my blog..but thats okay..I will still post today. There has been a lot of things go on since I last posted and I could not possibly tell them all so I will just begin with I Thank the Lord over and over and over again for my Moms healing of cancer. She is doing great!! We all went to Disney world in October to celebrate!! It was so much fun!! After we left Disney World we went to the ocean..that was a lot of fun!! I am currently staying at home now with my kids. I'm not sure how long this will last but I'm going to enjoy every moment I am able to be at home!! I love it!! Hopefully I'll be able to post more now..since I'm at home. I'll try and post some pictures sometime...and I'll blog more later..hopefully...no promises...If there is anyone out there...I'm going to try and do better and I love all my friends out there!!!

Snow Day

Hello everyone that still (if anyone) reads this!!! Today is a Snow Day!! So was yesterday. My daughter did not go to school yesterday or today..and I didn't go to work yesterday and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to make it today. I really need to get there...but I don't like driving on ice...plus I live on a hill that is very difficult to get down and up on icy days. I should just relax and enjoy my time with my family..but I worry about my job and a thing called bills...hahaha.

It's been pretty slow going around here. Haley's birthday was Monday. We got her a cell phone..she seems really happy with it!! She's 8 years old now. My baby is growing up so fast!! My other one, Taylor, will be 3 in April. Time sure does fly!!! They are so wonderful!!!! Well I guess thats about it for now...hope everyone is doing good and staying warm!!!

Wow..it's been awhile

Just thought I'd write something since it's been soooooo long since I last posted. I just haven't really felt like it...but I thought I'd write a little something. A lot has happened in the last couple of months. My mom, as many of you know, has Ovarian Cancer. She is doing pretty good right now. She goes Wed. for her next chemo treatment. When she has these she gets pretty sick afterward. But right now she is feeling really good. My grandpa died the second of December. That was very hard because I was very close to him...I've lived next door to him practically all my life. I miss him a lot...but atleast he is not in any more pain. My girls are doing good. Haley is doing great in school and Taylor is growing and learning so fast!! I wish she would slow down just a little bit..lol...Donald is doing good...his work has slowed down because of the winter so he has had more time with the girls and has been so good to help out with my mom...he's a wonderful husband!! I'm so blessed to have the family that I have!! Let's see we also got a new building to have church in..which is exciting..it's a lot nicer than the one we used to have..it's a little smaller but a lot more updated. I think it was a good move for our little church...Please if anyone still reads this just keep us and our church in your prayers....I just want to stay in the will of God. Love ya'll....and hope everyone is doing good.

Prayer Request

This is Brother Donnie posting on behalf od my wife. Her mother, Joy Wilcox, has been in the hospital for a couple of days. She had been sick for a while, and went to the ER on Wed. night. After some tests, etc, it has been diagnosed as Overian Cancer. The doc says it is worrisome, and that this type of cancer is dangerous because it doesn't show many symptoms until it is already advanced.
Please pray for her. She is a precious lady, with a heart just filled love for everyone. I've often heard people complain and make harsh jokes about mother-in-laws, but I always make sure they know that I have the best. I have no complaints, only love and admiration for Joy. Our hearts are broken because she is sick, but we are trusting God for a healing. He is the Almighty God! Please help us pray.
Brother Donnie, and Sister Marsha

It's Saturday again...

Okay..what has my week been like, let's see..well same ol stuff..work, home...work, home..work, home and church (Wed.)....you get the picture...I did got to Haley's School Friday and help with the Fall Festival there. Thats a big thing at her school..I actually went there when I was a little girl and we did it back then too..now I'm actually helping out...Then the girls went home with their Grammy last night and Donald had to work today..so I'm home alone...I like it sometimes..actually I like it alot for the first part of it..but it gets old fast..I wish I had my girls back now...I think I'm going to see if their ready to come home. Well thats about it for me now...maybe I''ll have more to type about next time...

Saturday...

It's Saturday and I'm a little on the board side. I mean I have a lot I can do..like clean my house, do my laundry, and much much more..but I just don't feel like doing any of that. Donald is gone to Etown right now..for our Minister's Convention..me and the girls didn't get to go because this morning when we woke up Haley had developed this rash on Thursday and then yesterday, Friday, it had became a little bigger, and when we got up this morning it had spread to several places on her face including over her eye. So I became a little nervous..so I took her to the Doctor to see what they thought it was..because we had no clue..it looks like poison ivy or oak..but it doesn't itch her..so anyways the doctor said it was some kind of rash..DUH...and they put her on a steroid...so that was our morning...now Taylor is taking a nap and Haley is bugging me about getting on the computer. BORED!! Well that is about it for now...later.

HELLO

Hey everyone....just thought I'd blog a little..and I do mean little. I'm sooooo tired. I don't know why but for the past two weeks I've been exhausted. Work has been exhausting lately. We are actually waiting for a Schwan's man to get here, but if he don't get here pretty soon..I'm going to bed. I feel like an old woman..it's only 8:30 and I want to go to bed..LOL...I will be 31 at the end of this month...I'm getting up there..LOL. Well I guess this is it for tonight...I'll try and type more later...Our minister's convention is this weekend..so maybe I'll have something to type about...type more later.

My little Rug Rats

Haley pictures

I thought these were very good pictures of Haley..She's soooo growing up on me!! She's my little sweetheart...7 years old.

My 2nd blog of the month..oh my..lol

Well not a lot going on..but I thought I'd type a little bit on here. This was a picture of my girls on Saturday...they were playing with their cat Max. Didn't he just look like he was having so much fun with my girls..LOL..he always gets held against his will.

Work was horrible on Monday but better today. Sometimes I really like my job, but there are those days when I can't stand it!! Monday was one of those days. I guess any job is like that though.

My papaw is in the hospital..please say a prayer for him if you happened to be reading this..His name is Clarence Wilcox. He had a pacemaker put in last week and now he has a lot of fluid on him. He also has pretty bad kidneys. So please pray for him and my mamaw..she's so tired from taking care of him and worrying..that can be such a strain on your body.

My husbands dad went to the hospital today also. I'm not sure on all the details with what is going on with him right now..Donald has went to the hospital..so theres another prayer request too.

Got to see Mandy last week from Idaho...She is very much with child...I love going out with her right now..because I actually feel like the skinny one now..lol...that don't happen very often. She seems like she is doing good.

Other than that..don't have much to talk about..hope everyone is doing good...bye.

My monthly blog...lol...maybe I'll do better this time

Hello all... How is everyone??? Pretty good here...Well not a lot going on here. Busy with life in general. Haley is doing good in school...she made 100% on her spelling test on Friday. I'm so proud of her. She's doing good in reading and math also. Taylor is STILL not potty trained...I know all you mothers and even those girls that arn't mothers are shaking your head but she's 2..I'm sorry to disappoint you..I still can't make her be potty trained. That is a really big pet peeve of mine...Why do other women feel like they need to judge how other women parent?!?!?!...I mean is that really something that our children are going to remember..."I didn't get potty trained until I was 3 or whatever age it is...I don' t remember when I was potty trained..okay enough about that..LOL...But Taylor does know her colors and can count to I think 11 now. So she's doing g00d in other subjects. As for me..I stay pretty busy being a mom and working full time. There are days when I really like my job, but there are other days when I hate it. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to have it..it helps pay the bills and buy my babies extra things..but I'd much rather be at home with them...Maybe someday, before their grown, I can stay at home with them again. Donald stays pretty busy with his job too. Church is good. Still no real growth. We have visitors from time to time..but none that stick..we've had some repeated visitors..but again none that will commit. Well thats about it for now..I think. Oh yeah..I've lost a grand TOTAL of 20 pounds!!! Can you believe that?!?!?!?! I can't!! until I look at pictures are put my clothes on I haven't worn in a long time..because they actually fit real good now..some are actually a little big on me now..YEAH!! New wardrobe if I keep losing..yeah...LOL!! Well I'll type more later..C-YA...

One blog this month...

Hey everyone...just thought I'd post atleast one blog this month. Not a lot going on really except I started a new job this month..so thats kept me pretty busy..I'm finally starting to feel better about the job. I was so scatter brained at first, but I'm starting to catch on to most parts of it now. I actually like what I'm doing ....I'm a Unit Secretary at a Nursing home..I like it much better than my prior job. But it is still just a job. I would love to see our family be able to get back into the full time ministry at some point..but this is what God has for us now...so I will be content with it. I am so bummed that I'm not at the Assembly right now though!!!!!!! I've almost wanted to cry everytime I think about it. This is the first time in so many years that I don't even know that I haven't been at the Assembly..and I guess technically I will be there..but only for one day..only two sessions because it ends Sat. afternoon. I don't like that at all...I've heard it's because of the church building that we have rented..but I"m bummed that I won't be able to attend on the Sunday this year. But atleast I'll get to see everyone briefly..and I do mean briefly!! So since we're in tenn. we are going to cruise on over Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and stay there until Monday...then it will be back to work for me on tuesday.

The girls are doing good...Haley is liking second grade..but she still keeps wishing it was still Summer vacation...she's growing up so fast..I don't even like to think about how fast my girls are growing up on me. Taylor is wanting to dress herself now...we argue about what she is going to wear..I thought that happened later in childhood not two!!! I dont' remember going through all that with Haley...she's a bit picking now, but at two!!! Taylor is so funny!!! I wish everyone that knew Haley back when she was two could know Taylor now...They are total OPPOSITE...I mean it..nothing a like..and it is so funny and very cool!! I love their little personalities..It's neat to see the differences in the two.. Okay I'm going on and on because I really have nothing else exciting happening in my life...so sorry for the bore... Well I think I've done my good deed for the month and posted..LOL...if anyone is out there give me a comment..I'm sure most people are at the Assembly right now..enjoying theirselves..must be nice..LOL...I've been praying for the Assembly...so I really hope you all are having a good time.!! God Bless!!

Today we decided to have a picnic after church..just us 4...and it was outside in our yard..but we really had a good time. Here are some pictures..
Us acting goofy...


My "Country Girls" hanging out in the back of their daddy's truck.
Haley taking a rest on the best seat in the house..haha..


It was a good day...we had a lot of fun.

I also would like to take a moment to say a little testimony. I went for a interview the other day and I got the job. I Thank the Lord for this opportunity. "ve been praying for something different for awhile now..and it looks like this could be a really good job...Thank you Lord!! Well thats it for now..We will be leaving for Camp on Wednesday...if anyone reads this please say a little prayer for Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio's Youth Camp...God Bless!! Hopefully I'll have good things to write about and a lot of pictures to share when I get back... bye.

Not much going on...

Not alot going on here today...I went to work...came home and have been hanging out with the girls. Hopefully Donald will be home pretty soon...I'd like to go walking before it gets to dark out. Donald lost another 4 pounds this week..that is a total of 14 pounds in two weeks...I think he is doing great!! I weigh tomorrow morning..I lost 6 pounds last week..but I worry what I've lost this week..I feel bigger..I guess I'll find out tomorrow. haha..

It's been a pretty boring day..and my head is wanting to hurt..so I think I'll get off here for now..Have a Happy 4th of July tomorrow!!! Be Safe...

FUN, FUN, FUN

Saturday was a fun day...we first got up and went to Haley's Softball game... She had two good games...they won both of them. Haley even took a softball in the gut...she didn't even cry...I was so proud of her...way to stop that ball, Haley!!! haha...

Then after that I spent some time with just Donald..which was very nice..we don't get a lot of just alone time..so that was nice..even though it was driving all the way to Stanton, Ky to get the muffler fixed and then finding out we were 15 minutes too late when we got there..ggggrrrrr...oh well it was still nice to be with him...

Then that night we took out girls and their cousin to the beach nearby our house to watch fireworks..it was a lot of fun and the girls really had a good time playing in the sand and water..here are some pictures from it..

Beautiful Fireworks!!

Donald and Taylor...(I think Donald was escorting Taylor away from the water..It didn't work she got soaked..and then sand caked on her...It was wonderful trying to get her clean..haha)
Snapshot of me and the "Tator"

Haley playing in the sand..also filthy from the nasty sand...Sand was all in their hair and scalp..but it was worth it, they had a blast!

Chelsea doing a somersault in the sand.

Busy Day

Well today I woke up and got my youngin's dressed and me, of course. I sent my youngest of my youngin's with my parents and me and Haley took off to her softball game. She had back to back games today...Thats hard on the kids and really hard on their parents..haha... The first game they didn't do so good...They lost 4 to 18...But let me add this was their first game of the season to lose...they had played 4 other games and won everytime. Anyways..the second game they won 5 to 4...so they did much better the second game...they just needed to get warmed up is all...They are a really good team. I had my doubts at the beginning of the season but they've pulled it together pretty good. After that I took Haley to a Friends Birthday Party and left her there..(Can you believe my baby is old enough to go to a Birthday Party all by herself, were has the time gone**sigh**) I knew the mom really well though..so I wasn't worried. Okay back to the story..after dropping her off I decided since my parents had my youngest I would call my husband up at work and see if he had time for a lunch break...good news...he did!! So we went to Applebees together and had our Weight Watcher meal...it was good but not exactly what I've been used to eating...lol...Oh well.. Came home and give Taylor a bath now I"m getting ready to get Haley in the tub...Got to get 'em cleaned good before Sunday Morning...lol...Thats about it for me...

Not alot to say...

Hey everyone...I haven't really had a lot to talk about here. I've been just devastated by the loss of Damon. It's still hard to believe. I didn't know him all that well, but it's just hard to believe that he's gone..I guess we really arn't promised tomorrow. Sometimes we take each day for granted..I've really reevaluated myself this week. I've been doing a lot of praying for Sis. Kasey also...I can't even begin to imagine the pain that she is going through..but I'm comforted in the fact that she has a Father who can bare her load and from her posts I've seen I think she is allowing him to do just that.

Anyways...like I said not a lot going on here. Please be in prayer for us...Donald is in search of another job. This one he has takes him away from Church duties and his family way to much. ..so it would be great if he could find something atleast with better hours. Right now he is working between 50 and 60 hours a week. We hardly see him. I would appreciate your prayers...

Well thats about it for now..
talk to you all later.
