Look Who's 5!

This past week our first "Little Treasure" turned the Big 5!!!

It's so hard for me to believe that it was 5 years ago that my labor stared early in the morning and I just thought that I was "dying" by noon and he didn't arrive till later that evening, but once he arrived I was so in awe and in amazement of our God that I was ready to do it all over again! :)

Here's some pix of our Big Birthday Boy!!! 

He was so excited about his "Knight" cake!

                             
                                                      His "Knight Shield" Daddy made for him.

                  Grandma said that " Every Birthday party needs games" so they played a few rounds of musical chairs! The kids had a blast, but I truly think Grandma was the one who had the most fun! ;)

So thankful for the 5 years that we have had with Liam and look forward to the years ahead that the Lord gives us with him to watch him grow and mature.
Our Prayer is that each one of our "Little Treasures" come to know the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior, and serve Him to the fullest!

Have a Blessed week! 

Grandpa and Grandma Zeigler!

This past week my parents got come for a visit!!!

It was so good to see them and for the kids to spend time with them here in our home.

Here is just a few pictures from our cherished time with them.

They shared lots of book time...

                                                                       

                                                                      Games ...

                                                                        and snuggles!

Thanks so much for coming to see us Grandpa and Grandma, we look forward to the next time you both will be able it come visit with us!


                          We Love You!!!

34 weeks!!

It's been a while so I thought I'd share a bit of Baby #4 with you!

This week we are at 34 weeks, it's so hard to believe that we are this far in. and that in just about 6 weeks we will get to meet this sweet little boy!

I've been feeling really good, lots of Pre~contractions and not sleeping very good, but that's pretty normal for me this late in the game. :)

This past week we got to have a unexpected Ultra Sound, and I was so amazed at how much he has changed from our first one at 18 weeks to now at 34 weeks. It's fun to pick out who me might look like and all his little features. I just love his chin! I can't wait to kiss it!

It was fun too, that my parents were in so Mom got to go with me to see him!

                            Love this one, 3D just amazes me. I think he looks like Lanna here,
                                                       We'll see when he arrives!

His little face!

                                                                       The Belly Bump~

So excited to meet this "lil Mr." and get to count his little toes and fingers.

The other day I was a Wal~Mart and this lady commented about how full my cart was with kiddo's, and then she realized that I was pregnant and she about had a cow! She said " Girl you are going to need a Nanny"  and I thought to my self,  "No, just lots and lots of  God's Grace."
It's sad to me how the world looks at families and how we as believers look at families. and the joy and blessings that each new little "Treasure" brings into our lives!
So thankful for this Lil Mr.!!!

Have A Blessed Week!

Guess what?

Good Morning!!!
I'm so thrilled to let you in on a little upcoming news. Are you ready????
We have a great giveaway coming. I'm so excited to share it with you.
I'm not even going to give you any hints other then our Kiddo's love it!  :)
Be on the look out!

I'm off to get the house ready, My parents are coming to visit for a few days and we are so excited. the last we saw them was a Thanksgiving!!!

Have a blessed day!!!

Every day life!

  I've been thinking today what to do next, our list are so long that I'd like to get done before "lil Mr." arrives in a few weeks. but what really would honor the Lord the most?
I'm thinking through a normal schedule for our family.  here's what a "Normal" day would look like!
(If it's a Wed. we go to the Library for the morning. but the afternoon is the same.)

7:00 am wake up and Daddy leaves for work around 8.
8~ish Breakfast for the family
8:30~10:00 Get our day going,(  Quiet time for Mama, Laundry started, tidy up, dishes in the dishwasher...)
10:00 ~11:30 Home School with the Kiddo's
11:45 Lunch
Afternoon~ finish Laundry, play with kiddo's till nap time. tidy up again!
2:00 All kiddo's down for naps. 
       Mama... clean bathrooms if it's a thurs. think about dinner if it's not in the Crockpot already. relax a bit for baby. pay bills if it's the first of the month. and if there is "really" nothing to do I get to scrapbook!!! :)
3:00 Start dinner, kiddo's up, fix snack for them.
5:00 Dinner on the table and enjoy dinner with Daddy!
6:00~ 6:45 Family time.
7:00 Bed time for kiddo's and family Devotions.
7:00~ On... Spend time with Hubby and enjoy him!!! Usually I try not to do anything at all work wise when he's here. I want to teach our kiddo's to Honor him in that way, and yes there is times when I "Must" do something, but he is so gracious and doesn't care. but it's still my goal to not do anything but be with him! and I cherish those times greatly!!!
        So often I get into that rut that I forget to ask the Lord what He'd have me to do. so I've set me mind to ask this question daily! " What would the Lord want me to do today?" and leave it open to change if that's what He so desires!
So let me leave this same question with you!!
                “How do you determine which things God wants you to do each day?”
 I'd love to hear from you and how you go about your day, and how you do determine what you will do?
Blessings!!!

Valentines day fun!

This year we did a first for our family for Valentines Day, we made a card box, each time something would come in the mail or they were given something we put it into the box!
So when the big day came we waited till after dinner to open it. It was a blast for the kids.

Here is just a few pictures of our evening!!

                                    One of the cards had a puzzle with a message for each of the kids.

They had a great time opening the cards sent with lots of love and care!
Hubby and I got to do a all day date the weekend before and Sooooo enjoyed our time together!!! it was kind of a " Baby Moon" most likely we won't be able to do it again before the baby arrives here in a few weeks!
Hope you had a blessed Valentines Day focused on the King of kings and the giver of Love!

Blessings!

#489 Down!

Finally I have time to get the up date up with pictures!!! It's been a crazy week already and I just haven't had time to get blogging, so sorry!!!

 So here is the big reveal of " Project #489! ( really, I don't have that many projects to do, It just feels like it! ) :)
Our downstairs bath room was in need of a face lift and it's been bugging me for sometime now and I just didn't know what I wanted to do to it, and hubby is so gracious he doesn't mind if I make changes to anything!!!

Before... Cream walls and stained vanity.

                                      After!!! black distressed vanity and stained and distressed walls for that "Primitive" look that we love so well! and all for free!!! That's right, I used everything that we had around here at the house, and a little bit of hard work!

                                This wall got a switch up of decorations stolen from other areas of the house!

                                    I didn't do much to this wall just change up the decorations!

We still want to do something to the side doors, but I'm not sure what. I don't want to have too much black and tan, but the brown is just not doing it for me. maybe some new doors if hubby has time!!!

So that was the Big Reveal!!!

We love it, When Liam walked in he said " Yuck, it looks dirty!" and Aiden still says "Yuck" every time he goes in, but really we like it! :)

I'm off to put the kiddo's to bed and have family devotions. ( My favorite time of the day, when we get to hear what the kids thought of our day and what the Lord is doing in their little lives!!)
 Blessings!
