Kason Enjoying The Pool

Weekend Review

Well I can't believe another weekend has passed...Oh well at least we only have a 4 day work week because of The 4th. Kason and I had a great weekend. FRIDAY night we went to a Tupperware party at a friends house that I work with. As you can see the boys did very well together and it looks like they enjoyed the Tupperware as much as we do. Of course they use it a totally different way then mommies use it. They are definitely boys and are wide open as you can see. We tried to do a group pictures of them but it was almost not possible..finally I got one of them all together. Nathan will be 2 on July 31st and Mason will be 2 on August 21st. Him and Kason share the same birthday. When we got home Nana gave me some good news...She said she would get up with Kason in the morning so I could sleep late. THANK YOU LORD!!!



Of course the morning Nana is going to get up with him he decides he is going to sleep until 8:45 and I couldn't sleep so finally about 9:15 I got up. SATURDAY of course was spend at the pool. It sure is nice to have a pool across the street from where you live...Sure does make life good. Thanks Aunt Robin for making the country club available all the time. My cousin Amy and her friend from high school, Amanda, came up and brought her little girl. Ella is 4 mths and is a tiny little thing compared to my chucky monkey. Kason is really starting to like the pool but has to be able to touch the water from his float. I guess the pool to him is like a huge bath tub.





Sunday was church. Christway held there annual Fourth of July service and it was Awesome. The Lord moved in a powerful way this morning and I really think alot of people were blessed.



I hope everyone had a great weekend...Just think only a 4 day work week!!!

More Bath Time!!!

Thanks to Cousin Maddie Kason now thinks it fun to stick his face in the bath tub water.



And look at this little fake fit he threw in the bath tub.

Guess who is saying MAMA???

Last night I came home from having dinner with some friends from high school and I walked into Kason's nursery and Aunt Leslie said Kason tell mama what you can say and ofcourse he just looks at me but as the night went on he started saying mama. I never knew how exciting it could be to her your child call you mama.

You will need to pause the music at the bottom of my page so you can hear him.

Splish Splash !!!

Kason gets alittle excited sometimes when he takes a bath and normally by the time he is through I have gotten a bath also and it must be a guy thing because he can't keep his hands off his "boy parts".

What Do They Feed Kason At Daycare???

Kason in hyper-mode...I wonder if they feed him sugar all day then send him home to mommie??? Probably just the boy in him. I thought he was going to beat the elephant to death. Lord I have a long road ahead of me.

Weekend Review

Well the weekend is over and its another work week....Weekends just don't last long enough. Me and Kason had a very great weekend. Friday we went with my sister and Madison to there end of the week bible school party at North Gardendale Baptist and had a blast. Then it was back to the house for bedtime but not before Kason and Madison took a bath in Nana's big bath tub. They had a blast. Madison is such a water bug and Kason just looks at her like she is crazy. Saturday Kason turned 10 months. I can't believe in 2 months my little boy will be 1. We spent the day playing and I actually did some house cleaning. We moved my furniture into my room so I finally have a good mattress again. My cousin Shelley was home from Auburn this weekend so she came over for awhile and hung out with us. Sunday ofcourse was church (it was awesome) and Kason had to go spend the day with his Dad. So after church I went to the pool and spent time with the family. My mom finally got home from ATL and was very happy to see Kason.

This brings me to why my mom was in ATL. My aunts husband, John had a severe motorcycle accident Friday and was airlifted to the trauma center in ATL. He is in much need of alot of prayer but the doctor say it looks very optimistic just a really long road of recovery. I couldn't possible list all the things that are wrong with him because by the way my mom talked he had a very long list of things. Please keep my Aunt Sylvia and John in your prayers.

Cardboard Testimonies!!!!

This will show you just how truly amazing God is and that he can change anyones life if you allow him....Please watch ....Thanks Kim.

A Covenant Commitment

I get daily devotions and I thought this was really good..so I wanted to post.

The Bible describes marriage as a serious covenant commitment between two people. A covenant is a solid and binding agreement. When two people say, "I do," you can almost hear God affirming, "I do also," because marriage is totally His idea. In fact, Jesus explained marriage as two people being joined together by God (Matthew 19:6).

"The Bible says that if I make a commitment, it is a commitment for life," says Dr. Spiros Zodhiates. "Marriage is not a feeling. Marriage is a commitment. It's a contract; it's a covenant. I cannot get out of my covenant simply because I changed my mind." The idea that marriage is a feeling is prevalent in our society. When one partner feels different about the other, he or she often chooses to follow those feelings and be unfaithful or seek a separation or divorce.*

In an ideal world (i.e., the Garden of Eden) marriage is between one man and one woman for a lifetime, and it is a sacred covenant. However, we live in a fallen world, and people choose to disobey God. Breaking the covenant of marriage is a sin, and God hates it (Malachi 2:16), but God will never love you any less. His love is unconditional, and He wants to forgive you and heal you.

"God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes" (Ecclesiastes 7:29).

Lord God, I believe that marriage is a commitment, and I wish I weren't in this situation. Thank you that You have never stopped loving me. Amen.

* Note: In this section, we are speaking of situations where one or both individuals in a relationship decide to split up based upon their feelings or lack of feelings; we are not addressing situations involving abuse.

Tonight at Counseling

Well tonight at counseling I was faced with alot of realization. Some of you may know and some probably don't know that me, Dennis and his new soon to be wife got into it Monday night. I'm not going to go into detail because it is really not important. However I have learned from it and I plan to use it as a growing tool. I let them and the devil get underneath my skin and they won the battle. This is something I can't let happen again. I know that dealing with a new wife is going to be a struggle for me especially because Kason is in the picture but I know it is something I have no control over and its something I can't change and at the end of the day Kason is our child (me & Dennis) and that is something I will not let the devil take away or put thoughts in my head anymore. I will always and forever be Kason's mother. My counselor said I have to treat Dennis and the new soon to be wife as a business relationship and that is it. We also learned about forgiveness tonight and that is something I have to do or God will not forgive me of my sins. I need to pray that God will give me a different kind of love for Dennis which is something that is very difficult to understand because I think to myself why should I have to love someone that has hurt me so bad. It makes me think about all the times I hurt Christ by sinning but he loves me and forgives me everytime that is why he died on the cross for me and you. I can't let bitterness eat me up anymore because anger literally begins to rot you out on the inside. Hebrews 12:15 says See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. I refuse to let the devil, Dennis and his new soon to be wife take away my joy and my future that I have with Kason. I have to stop being selfish and realize that there is alittle boy that needs me more than he needs anyone and I can't afford and will not let Kason down. We also talked about 2 Corinthians 10:5 which says Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. This tell me that when a negative thought appears in my mind if it is not obedient to Christ I should catch it and replace it with something Christ like. Everyone know that when we face trials in our lives it is not always easy to think positive but we all know that the trails we face are just a test from God to see if we are going to stand our ground and trust in him or turn away and I want to past God's test because I can't afford for Jesus Christ not to be the center of my life.

As I have said many of time please just continue to keep me in your prayers this is something I struggle with daily and I ask that you lift me up in prayer every chance you get.

love you all

Pictures from the weekend!!! I would say that my little man is alittle on the rotten side but Rotten never smelled so good.

Future Ball Player

My Future Ball Player!!!!

I don't know if its the boy in him but he loves to throw his ball around the house. It keeps him quite entertained for awhile. I have never seen a child throw and chase after a ball so much and to be honest for a 10 mth old he can actually throw the ball pretty far. Hopefully he will take after his PaPaw and become a pitcher.

Daddy and His Girls

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

Happy Father's Day

IF MORE MEN IN THE WORLD COULD BE LIKE "YOUR" DADDY THE WORLD WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS.

DAD, I LOVE YOU
Walk a little slower, Daddy,
Said a little child so small.
I'm following in your footsteps
And I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they are hard to see;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.
Did I ever say thanks
for all the toys you mended,
games we played,
outings to the park,
and the way you
always tried to cheer
me when I was down?
Did I ever say thanks for
the sacrifices you made
so I could be involved
in so many enriching
activities?
Did I ever say thanks for
working so hard
to provide for our family?
Did I ever say thanks
for having such faith in me
and always being there
when I needed you?
Most of all,
Did I ever say thanks for caring?
DAD, I LOVE YOU

TO ALL THE WONDERFUL DADS IN THE WORLD .... HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

Some of My Favorite 9mth Pictures

Kason's 9mth CheckUp

Monday was Kason's 9 mths check with Dr. Walley. He weighed 21 - 1 1/2 lbs and was 29 1/2 inches tall. Dr. Walley was very pleased with how Kason looked and said he is the normal height of a 1 year old. Said that he may even be a early walker because of his height. He was also very impressed that Kason already has 4 teeth (2 top and 2 bottom)
He only had to have 1 shot which was his Hep B shot...ofcourse he cried but it didn't last once mommy picked him up... :)

We also started Monday night with no bottle before bed and so far he hasn't had a problem and he is still sleeping through the night...it is still a task for him to drink out of the sippy cup because he is alittle on the stubborn side but hey he does get that honestly. We are just going to continue trying the sippy cup because he seems to be doing alittle better and plus he can't drink out of a bottle forever.

Birthday Beach Trip

Us & The Country Guy

Us & Marshall Miller

Me and My Very Best Friend April went to the beach June 5-8th for my 29th Birthday because I think I deserved it. Our time was spent mostly laying on the wonderful white sands of Panama City Beach and eating alot of seafood. We did go out Friday night to what we called the Homefield of Panama City but the locals just call it Tooties. It was a very fun place where we got to listen to some really good live music (Marshall Miller Band and some Country Guy). We also managed to enjoy a game of putt-putt golf with some friends from AL that I meet at Tooties and I will also mention that we beat them...GIRLS ALWAYS RULE. Even though we had to come home on Sunday we were both super excited to see are little men and Im sure April was happy to see Doug. Thanks again April for going with me on a much needed beach trip.

A Little Bit About Us!!!!

Well as of January 2008 it is just me and Kason. I know that the job of being a single mom is going to be a tough road but I know that If I just trust in God and let him guide me that he will see us through this very difficult time in our lives. It is not a road I chose but one that I know God will take care of because he knows all things. Kason is 9 mths and 3 weeks and is a great joy to be around. I often wondered why God would allow me to bring a child into this world and then let him be raised in a divorced home but I have learned through my Divorce Counseling Group that I don't need to know why just trust and have faith that God will see me through this if I allow him to...It is really all up to me.

As I mentioned I have been going to a Divorce Counseling Group for about 3 weeks now. This is something I felt I needed to do since I wasn't for sure how to handle my current situation and no one around me knows what I am going through.
Through my counseling and meeting others going through the same things I have learned that even though you feel like your situation is bad there is always someone else out there that has it alot worse. I also realized how thankful I am for my wonderful family and friends and I know that with them I will get through this very challenging time in my life. There are alot of things about myself and how I handle things that I need to change I know I need to pray for Dennis, which is very hard at times, but I know that if I want to heal it is a process that Im going to have to do. Divorce is like having open heart surgery...If a runner has open heart surgery he isn't up and running the next day, next month or probably running at his full potential next year. I have to realize that divorce takes time to heal from and I need to go through the grieving process and that is is okay to grieve.

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Please just keep me and Kason in your prayers. I really feel like going through this is going to make my walk with God even greater and I'm looking forward to what he has in stored for me Kason.

Okay enough about that.

This blog is a place where I can post and share my wonderful life that me and Kason have to all of our family and friend. I hope you guys enjoy.

We love u all,
Angela & Kason
