10 minutes...

that's all it HAD to have been. I finished checking email, then went and got changed. 10 minutes!!! IN this time, Allie (so Zoey accused) got into my craft things, got out my sewing scissors (which are super sharp) and cut Zoey's hair OFF!! Then Zoey, decided she's cut Allie's curls. I was MORTIFIED!! I didn't know what to say. SO... since Zoey has been SO adimet about NOT getting her hair cut, I thought that going to the Salon and getting it fixed would be her punishment. WRONG, she's super excited about it. Yet again, they win!!

Had to get OUTTA HERE!

I'm not sure if it's the Sunshine, if it's being back in MD, or what, but the girls are driving us crazy!! So, we decided to get out of the house and go on a picnic to the beach. It was SO great to get out, and be around God's awesomeness. I needed some awesomeness!! The Ocean ALWAYS makes me smile!!
So, here's the P-H-O-T-O-S!! Enjoy!
P.S. All these pictures I TOOK!
P.P.S. That Pic of Skye and the grill was a CHRISTMAS Present from his Mom that he JUST got put together! Poor Guy!

Somedays....

Blessing #1...Mostly all who we consider our "Support Family"!

Blessing #2...My FAMILY!

Blessing #3... MY HUSBAND!
Blessing #4... Including Walker, MY Kiddos!!

It's truly hard it sit here and think of all my blessings instead of all my sorrow. I have never experienced a sorrow so great, until now. Even in my miscarriages, God has healed those wounds, and I am positive in time, this would too, will heal.
I spoke to my mom today, who was not full of sorrow. This is when I realized, I have blessings, I have joy, I have things to be thankful for.
(these blessings are in NO particular order... just BLESSED!)

So... Everyone knows

All the world seems to know that my Daddy passed away. In one way I hate that the world is knowing all my heart ache, but what can I do.
It was too soon.
He was too young.
I don't know what I feel.
In all reality, I think this sucks. My Mom hates that word. But in all honesty, it's the only word that I can think of to explain how I feel.

Easter...in Ohio.

I had not planned on being in Ohio for Easter, and I had nothing for the girls. I thought it quiet silly to go to the store between trips to and from the hospital to get all new Easter stuff. I then decided that they wouldn't really miss it, we'd live one year without out egg hunting. Besides, this isn't really what Easter is in our lives. On the other hand, it's been a rough 2 weeks and the girls have been pretty well behaved through the shuffles and changes. And then, Skye's family stepped up and really came through for us. They took the girls, got them eggs, and included them in the family events. It was great, they had SO much fun. It was so nice, and I really appreciate it.

Funny things!

I wish that I could tell you that I remember all the funny things that my kiddos say and how they really make life one big smile! But, in all honesty, I hardly remember by the end of the day. BUT, one funny thing was as we were driving by my dear friend Tessa's house tonight, Allie asked if we were going to AUNT Tessa's. I was so touched that she love her so much. Tessa has been helping out a ton with our girls through all of this, and I was so glad to hear Allie speak so affectionately about her. So... I had to tell Tessa. She then respondes with a funny about her daughter Hailey, who is just about to turn 2. She said that they were listening to worship music in the care today and they were all singing "We cry Holy, Holy, Holy!" Tessa turned around and saw Miss Hailey singing: "We cry Horsie, Horsie, Horsie!" This is TOO funny, and totally typical for Hailey as she is IN LOVE with Horses! What a smile and laugh that brought.
On a side note, Skye's truck...well the one in Maryland that I have posted a picture of, had huge engine problems so we gave it BACK to the dealership. He has since got another (cheaper thank you God) truck here in Ohio. Allie, my little precious Allie, is TOTALLY 100% in love with the truck. She talks about it constantly and does not want to ride in anything BUT the truck. She even asks if she can go look at it and pets it like a dog. Allie asks Skye repeatedly through out the day if HE likes the truck. Seriously??? She's 2 1/2 years old...what little girl like this LOVES a truck! Man, what have I got myself into!
(Side note, please continue to pray for my Daddy. He is still in critical condition in the ICU!)

Wondering...not wishing!

I was standing in the waiting room, and a huge blast of siren was coming from outside. I jumped up and saw an ambulance coming into the hospital and there was a car behind it with it's flashers on. It hit me, HARD. I started crying right then. If you know me, you know THIS is out of character for me. God has truly been working on my heart and the sensitivity of it. The part that hit me so hard was that THIS was just MY DADDY a week ago. I have NEVER had anyone this close to me ever be this sick. I have NEVER had someone THIS close to me pass away, or be THAT close. If you don't understand, I am telling you now. This happens everyday!! I didn't think about it. I didn't get past the selfishness inside to see that people everyday, probably every HOUR, deal with a huge scare like this. I am blessed to know that no matter WHAT happens to My Daddy, I will see him in Heaven again.
God has been speaking to me to have a time of prayer for my Daddy. Although we all have been praying, all at random times, my Daddy needs prayer NOW. He is being prayed for by many all tonight we joined hands, all over the country, and prayed. We prayed earnestly, with petition, without ceasing for my Daddy. I BELIEVE in the power of prayer. I believe that God WILL heal my Daddy, and I believe that HE is sovereign and ALL the Glory will go to HIM alone! I will forever be grateful! This is why God is not only my God, Father, Healer and Protector...HE is my Hero also!

My Daddy!

I haven't been on blogger in a while. Life has been terribly hectic and I just didn't want to write. Last Wednesday, 3/25, my Daddy had a massive heart attack. It was a blow out of know where. We are all in Ohio, and are staying here and there. Thankfully my Aunt and Uncle have opened up their house to us, and they live about 15 minutes from the hospital. Daddy is still in stable condition, in the ICU. He's maintaining his own, pray for this heart to recover! If you want, you can go to caringbridge.com and visit johnsonterry.
