Bout time I posted!!!!!!
Well here it is November 1 and it has been nearly a month ago that I posted. I guess a lot has been going on so I have neglected all my blogging & fotopaging (?) again. After coming back from the Feast at the first part of October, I had turned over a new leaf and changed lots of my bad habits! First of all I gave up caffine, sugar, sodas, & MSG! I have also gotten into the habit of drinking lots of water and exercising every morning when I wake up! I am also trying to get into the habit of eating breakfast of some sort. I haven't really eaten breakfast except on occasion, basically since when I was in high school 20 years ago! I know they say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But for 20 years my breakfast was 3 mugs of coffee sweetened with, yes.......white sugar!!!! Anyway so I have been kinda busy with focusing on all these changes and hadn't felt like posting much. Also i used to get up and get on the computer first thing while I drank my coffee. Now I get up and drink water and exercise with Billy Blanks via Tae-bo Live! It is actually all paying off! I have lost 10 lbs. already!
Also, three of my nieces have all had a baby in recent weeks! Staci had her first baby - a boy - Layne Ryan Northcut on September 29th. His pictures can be found on my previous post. Then Stephanie had her first baby - a girl - Kaylee Nicole Ball on October 12th. Her pictures can be found here: Kaylee Then exactly 2 weeks later on October 26, her sister Tiffany gave birth to her second child - a girl- Michelle Jade Davis. Her pictures can be found here: Michelle Anyway so once again my family is getting bigger and bigger. I now have a total of 6 nieces and 3 nephews from my 4 siblings. And I have 5 great nieces and 3 great nephews! Wow! My family is large! My maternal grandma has 4 children, 15 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and 6 gt. gt. grandchildren. They are all living except 2 baby girls - 1 that died at birth & 1 that died shortly after birth. So needless to say, when we all get together there are a lot of us!!!! We all seem to have a great time too!
Last night was the fall festival at the church. We have been going to it every year for about the past 7-8 years! It's always lots of fun, and it is a better alternative to staying at home on All Hallow's Eve! Anyway some of the Mabritos came and then spent the night here at our house last night. We had a great time! This year the church rented a whole lot of bouncy inflatable things. They usually just get the bungy one and the moon bounce, but this time they had this really cool infaltable slide that was 2 stories high and then this bouncy 4 way tug of war game inflatable and another one was an inflatable obstacle course and in the gym they had a huge inflatable basketball hoop with really big basketballs! Also in the gym was the cake walk which ( I know I gave up sugar), but my kids wanted a cake and we donated 3 cakes so I decided to try that for a while. I never won a cake but some really nice little boy who won 3 cakes gave my mother in-law a strawberry cake with strawberry icing since she didn't win one. So of course she took a little bit for her and then gave my girls the rest to take home. I can't believe it! My will power is strong! Of course I have Yahweh on my side! Between my 4 kids and the 3 Mabritos here, all the candy they got looked like we were opening a candy store! And I have not even had one piece! Which is good considering I am an admitted chocoholic caffeine freak! The Lord has given even me the strength and will power to avoid temptation! So I guess to sum up my whole post..........Phillippians 4:13
I can do all things through Yashua who strengthens me!
