A shout out to single mothers

After being at convention without Ian and then this week him taking his annual fishing trip, I'm ready for him to be home! I don't know how single mothers do it. Whatever the reason why they are single, it's still such a huge job to raise kids on your own!
Gotta go, baby is crying. :)

Convention

I failed miserably at taking pictures this year but I was a little busy!:)   I did get some of Keaton in his big boy shirt tho, SO cute!  Camilla got to pour water this year so she was also a big girl and pretty proud of herself!  

One thought from convention was just of Jesus not only dying for us but died with joy that our sins could be forgiven.  Am I not only dying daily but also am I willingly and joyfully giving up my will for my Father?

Good days

We have had some great news come our way lately.  I won't go into all of it because it's a long story and hard to explain.  I didn't feel like I was worrying about the situation that much but once we heard that it was over I felt such a huge relief! Like a big weight lifted of my shoulders.  So glad that is over with!
So then on top of that I finally got up the nerve to take our tax paperwork into a mortgage company. Ian has been on me to take it in ever since we got our taxes done in February but I am terrified of buying a house, it scares me ALOT.  But I took it all in to a friend of mine who does loans and....... WE ARE APPROVED!   So, now we are house hunting and it is pretty exciting and scary all at once!  I know it's a good investment and blah blah but it just seems like such a commitment.  Anyway we are so excited about that, so now to just find the perfect one! :)
More good news is that it's convention this week!  I should be packing right now but I'm taking a break as my brain right now feels discombobulated! Packing for our home convention at Mountain Ranch is so hard.  The temperature range can be anywhere from cold all day to 100 degrees! So some days it might be cold all day and then the next day you might not even need a jacket and it will be hot!  So I'm trying to figure out what to bring especially for Keaton! Anyway I'll get it all done and if I get there and I forgot something then Oh well!
Yay for good news! Makes for a happy me! :)

Pretty girl

I didn't forget my little girl! She is getting so big and is such a help to me! Always willing to go get things for me and help me with Keaton.

Ian is already getting his shotgun ready to go, she is so beautiful. Of course we might be a little biased! :)
