Ella's 4th Birthday

We celebrated Ella's 4th birthday on the 3rd of Jan!  What a CR-a-ZY week it was!  They got their hearing aides in that Monday, Dec 31st, and then George and Tawne came out to visit us on the 1st!  It was a great week, but very tiring!  Just all new things with Keegan and Ella...  But it was good!  :)

I didn't go all out on Ellas cake, or birthday, b/c I was beat!  But we did have cake and presents!  Since she can't tell me what her favorite meal is, I cooked the pork potstickers, egg flower soup and then we had cake.  I TOTALLY forgot to get the rice going before it was too late, so that's why no rice!  :) Egg flower soup is so easy and everyone really likes it!  :)  Can't believe HOW MUCH soy sauce we have gone through in the last 3 months!!!  Lets say it's been atleast 2 bottles if not 3!!!  ;)  It's really good on rice...  ;)  and I've cooked ALOT of rice...  Uh, a friend bought us the 25 pound bag of rice (I paid them back...  ;)) from BJ's, and that is gone...  I had it for 2 1/2 months...  ;)  What can I say?  It's a great filler and cheap and yummy!  :)

Ok, back to her birthday!  I really didn't know what to expect from her.  I didn't know how much she would get, although we've gone through a birthday with Keegan, so she knew.  And boy did she HAM IT UP!!! I think she understood!  :)

I made her a chocolate Hello Kitty cake and George did the outline of her face, and then we both got it "colored" in and decorated.  So had supper, cake, and then presents!  :)

Never had a birthday SOOOO close to Christmas before!  Went into Target and Kotah said oh mom, we could get this!  I said, what?  We aren't getting that?  We just had Christmas!  She said, mom, Ella.  Me, lightbulb moment...  ;)

A few pics of her birthday...  ;)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to ke...
