The Petting Zoo

Today was such a fun day, my great aunt wanted to take the kids to this new petting zoo that's down the street from our house. Her church was having family day there and she wanted to bring all of her family :) We took Drew and Avery and they had so much fun! Well, Avery didn't know what was going on, but Drew sure did! At first he was a little scared but it didn't take him long to warm up.

Andy helping Drew on the ponies, he only liked this for a few minutes :)

crossing the road

The other day I was headed to a funereal, Andy was out of town, so I was driving by myself. I met my parents there and we had to park across the road because of the limited parking spaces, it was a 4 lane road and my parents were walking about 10 yards in front of me and as my dad was crossing the road he said "come on michelle, you got it", well with out even looking for cars I just ran across trying to hurry and catch up with them. And as I was sitting in the church waiting for the service to start, I started to think, ya know, thats how God wants us to be. Without looking I crossed a 4 lane road and trusted my dad that the coast was clear and that I could cross, I didnt ask him questions or look both ways, I just went for it. And in our spiritual life thats how we should be. When God ask us to do something, we should. We shouldnt ask questions or wonder whats going to happen, we should just trust Him. If I can trust my earthly father and not ask questions than I should trust my Heavenly Father even more. Sometimes I catch myself asking God questions....."whats gonna happen", "why do you want me to do this", "what is going to come from this", etc.....but it shouldnt be that way. When God wants us to do something we should trust in Him and know that He is guiding our path. Its pretty awesome to me, how awesome God is :) He wants whats best for us :) Sometimes we choose our own path but God will always have His path waiting for us.

I would like to leave you with some pictures, I havent posted pictures in so long, I tell myself every day that I am going to do better at this blog thing, but I never do :)

its time to catch up

WOW! It has been way to long!! I am so busy now I forget if I have even taken my shower....my life is pretty much CRAZY :) So I think its time to get back to blogging :) Lets start off by saying "Yes, I've had my baby girl"....this is why I have no time anymore. Avery Lea joined us on May 6th, 2009 and she is such a blessing! Drew is doing wonderful, he loves to play with her toes and he likes to tickle her little feet, it is so funny to him. The first week she was home he didnt know what to think, but he has adjusted well. When she cries he will go find a bottle or binkie to give her, its so sweet. It is definitely different with two babies, they are 14 months apart, so I have my hands full. We are doing wonderful though, Andy has been such a big help, I have a huge respect for single mothers, there is no way I could do this by myself. He has stepped up big time, and Drew has been a daddy's boy. Having two little ones is wonderful, they keep my busy :) Here are a few pics of the past few weeks :) 

My two sweet babies...they dont sleep like this, I moved them next to each other once they were both out :)
