I CAN'T BREATHE!!!!

Well, everyone else I know has been sick and their kids have been sick.. so I guess it is my turn! AGAIN! when will the sniffles and the coughs ever end? I am so excited for summer! that is when everyone is usually healthy! I think I need to buy some bubbles, like the hamsters have, and put the boys in there to keep them away from germs! ( I am kidding of course!)
So, Isaiah wakes up with a stuffy nose and tries to take a deep breath and says, "mommy! I can't smell! get a tissue and clean out the mocho's (spanish for buggers ?)" He is sooo cute.. he coughs and says we have to go see the doctor so he can make him feel better.. he loves our doctor and the free suckers!
Isaiah is potty training now.. he is doing really well.. no more diapers, just big boy underwear.. he still can't figure out the poopy part though.. we have had two accidents, one at church! yikes! anyone got tips on how to get a boy to figure out how to poop sitting down? he does everything else well...
Kendall is HUGE! He and Isaiah are only ONE POUND apart in weight! Isaiah will be 4 in August and Kendall 2 in June! and they are almost in the same size clothes, everyone asks if they are twins! And Kendall is starting to talk, he is sooo cute!
And I woke up yesterday feeling terrrrible! Stuffy head, runny nose! Amazingly, Roger is not sick.. but he hasn't been around much this past couple of weeks, he has been pulling in a lot of overtime.. so I think that saved him from catching the bug!
I have to have surgery on Friday morning.. a hysterectomy.. so pray for me.. pray for my mom that the boys will be good for her, I have to stay overnight!
Well, there are winter storm warnings.. so I think we might have to stay home tonight.. we live in the country, so it is a bit of a drive to church.. I'm sad to miss wednesday night service, but the kids are sick and it's too cold to go out...
Gotta go.. hope everyone is doing well and feeling good...

Little is much.....

Just what I am thinking about, today...
I have been sorta keeping up with this blogg that I ran across through my friend Devin. It's about this little boy named Tristan He was born with T-18 and he passed away yesterday afternoon! It was sooo sad.. but it really opened my eyes..
He lived 55 days.. and that was a long time for a baby with t-18. His parents really cherished every moment of his life, not knowing if it was his last.. all the while trusting and praising the Lord for their blessings. Their faith was so strong.. and they were such a blessing to me...
Sometimes I feel so sorry for myself if I have a small issue and I have to get a reality check... I am so blessed and I have beautiful children and I have to cherish EVERY MOMENT that I have with them, to teach them to do right and love the Lord!
Little is much when God is in it! I love that song! and it reminds me of this family and little Tristan.. they had little time with him.. but because they loved God and trusted Him.. they cherished every moment and meant a lot to them...

Guard my precious ones!

God has blessed me with five children, and ooooooh how precious they are to me! They are not perfect, but at ages 9, 7, 5, 2, and 8 months, the heartaches of parenting have only been tasted in very small dosages.

Yet, I am fully aware of the potentialities - their flesh is weak, their minds easily deceived, their desires could develop taste buds that find evil to be delicious. I must fight for their souls! I must do all I can and am responsible to do as their father. I must earnestly pray for them, pour the scriptures into their minds, model godliness, show them their faults, give them hope in Jesus.

I fall short here. It's easy to reside in a place of ease when my kids are delightfully innocent and joyfully tender.

The following testimony, from one of my modern day heroes, caused me to feel that urgency again. He tells of the agony of having a wayward son, and what he did to fight for his son and to battle his own sinful inclinations during that time.
And, by the grace of God, his prodigal son did return home.


“Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!” (Psalm 126:5, ESV). My main memory of Abraham’s prodigal years is tears. As I knelt in prayer, I would remember the 9-year-old Abraham walking with me to 6:30 a.m. winter prayer meetings—willingly. I would take hold of Jesus’ cloak and cry:

“O Jesus, please, don’t let go of him.”

He was never more than a breath away. One moment I would be rejoicing over some simple blessing, and then suddenly he was there, a heaviness, an ache. I would wonder what he was doing. And I would pour another prayer into the great censer before the throne.

Then there was fear. Will he destroy himself? Will he ruin a girl’s life? Will he get a disease? Will he turn out to be an Esau? To survive I had to make the daily transfer: “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you” (Psalm 55:22). Every day the sorrow was new. Every day sustaining mercies were new (Lamentations 3:23).

All the while God was making me a broken-hearted pastor. God loves His people through the pain of His shepherds. None of our sufferings is wasted. We do not graduate from the seminary of sorrows in this life. But oh, how glad I am that this class is over, and Abraham is home. Thank You, Jesus, for not letting go.


You can read Abraham's short testimony of His conversion and some excellent insights in how parents of wayward children can reach out to them (wise advice from a former "wayward" child) here

2008?!!!

I can't believe it has been so long since I last blogged! I am totally addicted to facebook! It's nice because it is sooo easy and private!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years! The winter weather here is really harsh today and we all have colds, but I guess that goes hand in hand with living in Michigan! :-)
I am glad to say that my step-grandson D'Marrius is doing very well and is quite a cutie.. Thank you so much to all of you who prayed for him...he is a blessing.
The boys are getting so big and Kendall is almost as big as Isaiah already! I am so thankful for my boys!
Well, I just wanted to stop and drop a note.. to keep this thing a little current!
I hope everyone is having a great day!

One flaw in a woman.....

One Flaw In Woman

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
h ave over 2 00 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
hav e a kiss th at can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
wait until tomorrow to finish."

"But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."

The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"

"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride."

The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."

And she is!

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness,
love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS:
THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.


PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are!

Long time, no blogg.....

It's been a couple of weeks since I have blogged anything.. we have had so much stuff going on, lots of weddings and get togethers! My cousin just got married last weekend and my husband's coworkers yesterday..so when I get pic's of that, I will post them.. here are some random pictures..we had family pictures taken a couple of months ago.. and I finally scanned them.. so I will post them, too.
hope that everyone is doing well... staying healthy and enjoying that last few fleeting days of summer!
a couple of prayer request's
my mom's cousin.. amy aguilar.. has colon cancer and I think something else in her stomach.. it's at stage 4.. so it's pretty bad..she is saved.. so pray for strength and comfort and peace.
also.. my grandfather is 96 and just living day to day.. he is in demensia stages. losing weight rapidly.. can't move or talk by himself.. now he is not eating.. so just pray for my parents and my aunts and uncles during this time to have peace and for the Lord to help my Grandpa to be comfortable and not in too much pain.
A PRAISE! Mr Brady from our church went back to get checked out because he has a really bad case of some kind of cancer in the bones and blood, I think.. anyways, it was in 50% now it is only 1% and the cells are inactive! SO COOL! they might still give him the bone marrow transplant.. but now things seem like they are well on there way to recovery and remission! PRAISE THE LORD! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

My boys...

Thank you to everyone who prayed for the boys and for me... they are better.. Kendall's thrush comes and goes.. but is pretty much gone. Isaiah is much better and back to his old self! YAY! I hate when they are sick, I feel so bad for them.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (Written by kids)

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?! Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. -- Camille, age 10

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. -- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON? Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE? Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. -- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.-- Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR? I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.-- Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE? When they're rich. -- Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. -- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? -- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is........
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck hit her. -- Ricky, age 10

I'm VIP at the Walgreen Pharmacy....

You know you and your kids are sick a lot when they don't even have to ask your name anymore.. they just hand you your prescription!
Kendall has thrush and an ear infection right now..
and Isaiah has really bad strep throat and 104 degree temp.
we just got back from the doc and I was crying because Isaiah looked so sick! He loves the doctor and when we were there, he was curled up in a ball on the chair and didn't even want to say hi.
The boys are both taking a nap after being loaded with antibiotics and tylenol, so I thought I would just ask for prayer for them for speedy healing and to be comfortable and not in too much pain.
I thought I had caught something from them.. but the doc says not yet, just a sore throat...

Things Dad Will Never Say....

Things Dad Will Never Say

10.) Well, how about that! I'm lost. Looks like we'll have to stop and ask for directions.

9.) You know, pumpkin. Now that you're thirteen, you'll be ready for unchaperoned car dates. Won't that be fun?

8.) I noticed that all your friends have a certain negative attitude. I like that!

7.) Here's a credit card and the keys to my new car. Go crazy!

6.) What do you mean you want to play football? Figure skating not good enough for you, son?

5.) Your Mother and I are going away for the weekend. You might want to consider throwing a party.

4.) Well, I don't know what's wrong with your car. Probably one of those doo-hickey thingies. You know, that makes it run or something. Just have it towed to a mechanic and pay whatever he asks.

3.) No son of mine is going to live under this roof without an earring. Now, quit your belly aching and let's go to the mall.

2.) What do you want to go and get a job for? I make plenty of money for you to spend.

1.) Father's Day? Ah, don't worry about that. It's no big deal!

Baby Mia

We are watching baby Mia for a couple of days! Isaiah is loving it! Kendall is okay, kinda jealous at times! Here are a few pictures!

SPIDERMAN

Well, my Aunt Rachel and Uncle Nick went out of town for a couple of days and they came back with a spiderman backpack full of spiderman stuff for Isaiah! He loves it! Thank you Uncle Nick! Here are a few pictures of Isaiah in his spiderman gear and even one of Kendall trying on a spiderman mask!

Pic's from Roger's party

Here are some pictures that I just got from Roger's surprise birthday party in may!
I am probably going to post today a couple of times with new pictures, so bear with me.

Kendall......

Today is my baby Kendall's birthday! I can't believe he is a year old already! It seems like he was just born! He is such a big boy, he already weighs 25 lbs! He loves to sing and dance and he loooooves his daddy. (Isaiah thinks it is his birthday and wants to go to chuck e cheese! he has been asking to go there for days! we are going tommorow)
I am so blessed to have Kendall in my life he and Isaiah have made me a better person!

HOT HOT HOT!

Nothing much going on here... it is sooo hot! I hate to be hot!
Kendall's birthday is tommorow! i can't believe I was having a baby this time last year! I am so thankful that the weather wasn't this humid last year, I would have been so miserable!
Please keep my grandfather, Martin Gonzalez, in prayer.. He is 96 and I believe it won't be too much longer before he goes home to be with Jesus.. He is having dimensia, and hallucinations and we can see that his body is starting to shut down. Please pray for my parents and my mom's siblings as they are all taking care of him around the clock.. I can't imagine the stress.. it is like taking care of a baby again.. a big heavy baby. I try to go over and help, but sometimes I feel like I am in the way with the kids there.
Anyways, I hope that everyone is having a good summer..
