Mother and Daughter relationship

Tonight was very special to me.  Julie and I are becoming closer and closer.  It's so awesome to have the blessing of a daughter.  She is the only other female in our house.  I understand when she is emotional, and she understand when I am emotional.  She always gives me a hug just at the right time of the day.  We had our first meeting and practice with our All Star team tonight.  We are coaching the B team this year and have some great girls.  The other parents came up with the name Diamond Bratz.  I don't really care too much for the Bratz part but it'll work.  We will be doing fundraising because this whole thing is self funded.  Things from garage sales to Rangers ticket sales to beef jerk sales and of course the standing in front of walmart.  Family and Friend donations are also accepted.  : ) Love you guys you read this!   Julie's nickname is Sassy.  So I get to have a shirt that says Sassy's Momma!  I asked Larry if he was going to get one that said Dad #2, lol.  He said no I think Richard and I will get Coach Richard and Coach Larry.  LOL.  I told him I could get on my shirt Sassys Momma, followed by Coach #1 wife, and Coach #2 ex wife.  Just kidding.  PWT.    Anyway back to tonight.  Larry went to help a friend of ours from church with his remodeling and move some Plumbing.  So it was just me and the kids after softball practice.  We took baths and did our normal bedtime routine.  Julie was the last to go to bed.  She is so silly.   She read part of a book to me.  Now that she has a queen size bed I can hang out with her on it.  We just talked about softball and the fun tournaments coming up, talked about how you can still be a Christian even if you have tattoos ( a boy at school told her it's in the bible, if you have a tattoo then you do not believe in God).  We laughed so hard.  Reminded me of elementary school with Stef.  She would laugh then I would laugh even harder, until I cried or snorted.  We prayed and I sung "the songs" to her.  Then about 20 minutes later she came back out, her throat hurt and evidently we needed to share some cookies and milk ; )   She's a sleep now.  My goodness she's growing up so much.  God has truly blessed me with her in my life.  She amazes me every single day.  Thank you Lord Jesus for being in control of my life and blessing everyone for knowing Julie Ann. 

Baby Fever

My little boy is growing up, he will be 10 months on Mothers Day.  He's starting on his path to walking and has such  a loving personality.  Any time music comes on, country of course * we tried rap last night, it doesn't have the same affect on him, but anyway he shakes his hips back and forth.  We still need to capture it on video.  

My friend Stephanie just found out that she is pregnant!  She's prayed and longed for this time to come for her whole life.

At her Wedding November 2004 

(mind you I was 7 mo pregnant)

  My sister in law's both just had babies, Conner and Alexis.  And unfortunately I cannot be there to hold either one of them.

Conner Matthew

Alexis Kate

I need another baby........... lol!  No not yet, but Larry and I have a plan to start in January so the kids will be the same amount in age apart and it will be in the fall/winter, we don't have one in the fall yet.  Bailey Grace Stinson - Larry wants me to start researching what I need to be eating to have a girl, he read that it matters somewhere online.  ; )  

CVS - Let's try this again!

Well May seems like a good time to start out at CVS again.  This time with no money, hopefully, out of pocket.  My plan is to go in with 3 adidas coupons, which are free adidas deodorant, from the all you magazine, and this month when you buy one you get 4.99 back in EBC's.  SO, basically CVS will be giving me 14.97 EBC's to take away 3 adidas deodorants.  Now I can plan on how to use my 14.97 EBC's to gain more EBC's and free stuff.  Now let's just hope my CVS has the deodorants left.  I bought three all you magazines so I could do this deal, the limit is 3 for your EBC's.
