My weekend - I love the kids in my life

I had one of the most amazing weekends.... I had Friday off and Autumn dropped Shayla off bright and early (8am) I was looking forward to seeing her - it has been awhile since I got to spend a day with her. Right away she wanted to go see Great Grandma so we went upstairs to wake up the whole house I am sure they appreciated that.....

Ryan had early release on Friday so Shayla and I went and picked him up to spend the day with him. We played soccer, colored LOTS of pictures and had lots of PLAY time.

Ryan was very excited about his new sticker chart - he gets a sticker everytime he has a good day and another one everytime he eats his dinner like a big boy. At one point during our soccer playing Shayla was doing something and I asked her if she was being Naught and of course Ryan responded with I am not I want a sticker for the day! It nice to see that the idea of positive reinforcement really is working....

Later that night while we were eating dinner Ryan was messing with Shayla and I told him to stop antagonizing Shayla - he looked at me and responded with First I dont know what that word means and I didnt do that!! I was trying so hard not to laugh I couldnt even say anything else.

Later Shayla and Ryan were playing - Shayla was driving a semi and Ryan was pulling her over - after she gets pulled over about 5 times consecutively she runs into the room I was in and says Skye I dont like cops - I asked her is she liked Uncle Aaron she says yes and I told her Uncle Aaron was a cop does she like him? She cocks her head to one side and repeats I dont like cops - so then I said well cops like Uncle Aaron protect you at night when you are sleeping.... she looks at me like she is not sure how to respond and runs in the other room.

While Ryan was taking his bath Shayla and I were cleaning the kitchen and she says I want him (Ryan) to be my brother - I said how about your friend can Ryan be your friend she said no I want him my brother - I responded with how about your cousin I think that is the best I could do - she said NO I want him my brother and stalked away...

Saturday morning Shayla and Ryan got up before I did (Imagine that) As I was laying in bed I could hear Ryan saying - Shayla you go wake Skye up and tell her we want breakfast. Of course Shayla immediately was at the bed side shaking Aunt Skye.....

Saturday Morning I dropped Shayla off at Grandmas and Aunt Ammer was there - I told Treyton that Ryan and I were going to go to Church with him in the morning and Shayla says Shayla too Shayla too I want to go - So she calls her mama and ask if she could spend the night at Aunt Ammers (and how could her mom say no this is the first time she has ever asked to spend the night somewhere)

Sunday Morning Ryan and I went to GB for church and after church we picked all the kids up - Treyton comes out of his class, Looks and me and Says EYE what you doin here? I said I wanted to come to church with you is that ok - - YEAH eye - as he shows me his awesome new spiderman shoes.

What to do?

As many of you know I started taking a sign language class a couple of weeks ago. I have been very interested in Sign Langugage Interpretation and wondering if that is a direction I want to go in my life. I am really enjoying it ALOT.

I am in a place in my life I dont know if I should try to embark on something this big and different. Do I want to possible spend the next 2 -3 years of my life in school? I have started a new relationship and feel very strongly that this man is a gift from the Lord and that this is a direction I am suppose to go in. Where does that leave me as far as starting a whole new career? Is that too much? Do I want to try starting a relationship and possible a marriage (some day) while also going to school? The only places the school is offered is in Milwaukee and Appleton. No matter what that leaves me driving - -

Am I in a position where I can go to school and afford not to work full time? There are so many questions and so much more I need to look into.

For now my plan is to keep going with Sign Language and continue learning as much sign language as I can. See if I continue enjoying it as much as I do.

Please keep me in your prayers as I try to find where my place in all the newness is.

Thank you Lord for answered Prayers














Thank you Lord for answered Prayers!

The past month as been an amazing journey that I am more than happy to give all the glory to God on. There is no way I would have even begun to look where I found the most valuable jewels.

It is amazing how God works and how his timing is more perfect than I could have even dreamed up.

This is Aaron and I at Lukes Surprise Birthday Party - it was a bitter sweet with Mom and Alana in Virginia and our family loss on our minds. The day turned out very well and I think everyone had a very good time.
















This is Ryan at his wrestling Tournament . I love this picture - it is Ryan his dad and Grandpa - they are showing him how to get out of a hold.

Right after this he did win a match in overtime!! We were very proud and he brought home a medal.

It is amazing how quickly your heart can attach itself to someone without you even realizing it. Yesterday I was laying on the couch watching TV and Ryan came and curled up on my stomach and we snuggled for awhile, Aaron was sitting in the chair and gave me this adorable smile. It was the most perfect moment - and there are very few other people that have found that place in my heart.
