Lots and Lots of Yum-Yum sauce

Those of you who have ever been to a hibachi grill type place, like our own Fugi grill, you know what YUM YUM sauce is. It's absolutely positively delicious.
I had planned to go to the bonfire for the youth and adults tonight. Due to me getting Bronchitis and having lost most of my voice, i figured it best to stay inside as much as possible. lol
Still had the mother in law keep the kiddos for awhile while i met my hubby for dinner at Fugi grill. OK, here is a great restaurant. The guy who cooks the food for you was someone we had before...and I mean he was memorable. He did a trick, and used too much fire lol and burnt his eyebrows off, no kidding. He had blisters by the end of his service.The other cooks really picked on him.
He was our cook this time. he didn't burn himself, but he did make some fires that were too big. All the other cooks and employees gathered around our table. They were busy due to it being Halloween and everyone out trick-or-treating. Anyways...I always get the same, filet mignon and chicken. He cooked up our food, we chatted with the other people sitting around the grill. I asked for some yum-yum sauce and as the guy goes to fill my little container, he dropped the container full of sauce onto the counter. It bounced, and flew all over me and half of the container of sauce was on the table and in my hubbys plate and on me! The guy didn't even offer to make my hubby a new plate of food. I mean the sauce is great, but you don't want to have your meal floating in it! It ruined!my!new!Tommy Hilfiger!shirt! and also an undershirt. Im so disappointed. All I could do was sit there with my hands up, my mouth open and just looking at the mess. The guy handed me a dry napkin! Ha one napkin, what's that going to do?!
It was a crazy mess, but hey , it added entertainment. There was an ex nfl player sitting at our table with his son, while his wife took their daughter out for halloween. We chatted with him.
Yes I looked him up online, he is legit, and he drives a BMW, just like mine, except he has diff rims and all tinted windows. He was super nice. So were the other couples and they had our back when the waitress came with the checks and said she took ten percent off our bill for our trouble!
Ray, bless his heart, said nope, Im not payin. You didn't offer me another meal, I always clean my plate and couldn't even eat half my food, you ruined my wifes clothes, the least you can do is pay for our meal. I promise I will come back! lol
After the employees discussed it, they finally gave us our dinner for free. What a night. I came straight home and took a bath.
Well all, kids are here, so is daddy.
Oh btw, brooky cut her second tooth today!

Another month come and gone

Do you ever sit back and say, Man where has the year gone.
Here we are closing in on the last days of october...moving
into November!
On one hand, we get to roll the clocks back Sunday for that
extra hour of sleep we have looked for since it was taken away.
On the other hand...its now officially moving into winter!
*Sigh*
I so look forward to spring. Don't get me wrong, I love a snowy day,
as long as it doesn't interfere with plans I had for that day.
Thanksgiving is now very close. Im not sure if we are really having a T-day.
I'm pretty sure that Ray's mom has to work. Maybe we will have it another day that she is off.
Last year I made those small turkey breasts...oh man was it good.
The Hubby has requested that for this year too.
I also for the first time every, made deviled eggs all by myself. They were delicious.
My mashed potatoes always rock the house!
I guess we will see as it draws closer what our plans will be.

Im still sick, and I believe that the normal cold, has now turned into the dreaded bronchitius. I get it every year at least once. I hate the cough that comes with it. The chest pain! And the crossing of legs when you cough or sneeze! agghhh!

Anyways...I was up doing some picture things for my pastor's wife, and now kids are in bed. Not asleep, nope, Logan even right now is asking for his blanket tag, and yelling for me to find it for him. Sissy, she is singing and saying 'dadadada'.
Hope you have a great day...after all, it's now after midnight...and it's the last day of October! Took me two days to write this post! Ha! that's funny!

Love to all

uuuggghhhh *sniff*

Im sick!

We had amazing church!

I know I say every church service was amazing, but really I can't help it! lol I go to an amazing church. The power of God is in every service. I mean every service. We had a visiting preacher, Br Atkins (I believe that's how you spell his name) and his wife and son. He has preached at our church before but tonight he preached and right at the end of the service I began to pray and Sister Rhoda..bless her heart...knew God was telling me to do something. All I kept hearing was shout ur hair down! lol I have been hearing that a few services but I was going to do it! As I began to shout I was only in my world with God and me, I didn't hear anyone around me. It was just us. I lost my shoes! I didn't remember loosing them, but I was given them afterwards. I didn't shout my hair down b/c as I shouted my praise changed into prayer..then travailing and weeping and just a whole new place. I don't remember really anything...but that is how it happens when I pray like that. I do remember that while in prayer I felt someone saying they were done, it was sad and oh man just like a weight. that was all that I got out of it...I had to be praying for someone, but God only wanted me to pray on their behalf. I have been called to pray since I was a child. At the age of 12 I used to have major prayer meetings on my own. Just God and me. You know how wonderful that was. I know that God wants to use me again that way and I pray that God does and that he gives me a burden. I remember one time on my way home from I think camp, I was in the car with my pastor and pastors wife at the time. I had been praying that God would give me a burden. I remember praying just a little, looked out the window and all of the sudden a huge burden just hit me. I saw the people in the cars on the highway and I saw lost people. All I could feel was this huge burden and that they were lost. I remember it hit me like a ton of bricks and I began to pray and seek God. I don't remember how long it was that I was in prayer. I do know that I was not embarrassed to pray and cry, and speak in tongues, I wanted to reach God for those people. I've had many experiences..and I pray that I have many more.

In other news of my life...

Logan is having good and bad nights of sleep. Ive been praying with him before I put him to bed. Last night he only woke up once. Hey it's better then five or six times.

Brooky...I got her appt the other day. She is a healthy 19 pounds and 12 ounces! lol and almost 30 inches long! Doc said that she was the size of a 1 year old. But b/c of her length it was ok. He said to up her baby food which she does 2-3 ounces now and can go to 4 ounces. She is doing good! lol Though when he checked her hips it made a noise or did something and sometimes it indicates that their hip isn't growing correctly. I had to get her an x-ray which she sailed through..even though I had to move and hold her legs (she had shots day b4). I decided when he said there could be an issue to not even worry about it. B/c ya know she is a miracle to begin with. She has been dedicated and all is well. I got the results back and she is fine. No prob with her hips.

Oh she also started cutting her first tooth through last night. Finally after months of irritation, she has a sharp little tooth. The one next to it isn't too far behind. Should cut through soon i think.

If I didn't mention...i got my car back! lol it's sooo pretty.
btw...the kids got locked in the car! When I leave church the kids help me out. One girl took baby and my brother took Logan out. I had my purse and diaper bag and other stuff. Takes all but the kitchen sink to go somewhere! lolAnyways...I gave my brother the keys to open the door. I don't know truly what happened, I got two stories. But the end result was that my son logan had the keys and locked him and sissy in the car. It was scary and we couldn't get him to push the unlock, only the lock button he liked it b/c the interior light came on. I had to call 911 and the called a wrecker service and the guy got it opened. this all took like 40 mins or so lol. It wasn't funny at the time, but man! It cost 50.00. Ray wasn't mad, but kept teasing me saying I locked the kids in the car. It wasn't me! All turned out fine. We got it unlocked and went to eat. Well I've got to hop off here. Time to put the kids to bed. Thank goodness, i'm exhausted and lookin' forward to a great night of sleep.
♥ to all and to all a good night!

Happy Sweetest Day!!!

I absolutely love any day that has to do with showing ur love and appreciation for ur honey, or my honey rather! lol
Ray is the on the other side though. He thinks its a way to waste money. So grant it...we didn't waste money according to him. It was hard for me to hold back and not even buy him a card but I didn't! *applause, pat on shoulder to oneself*

More exciting news....
The kids were LOCKED in the car by themselves! Yes I said LOCKED and BY THEMSELVES in the car. What happened u may ask? Well I get help sometimes out the the car. My brother took Logan out and one of church girls took Brooky out. I gave keys to my brother...and I've heard two diff stories, but the end result is that Logan had keys and locked them in the car. Everyone was around my car trying to get Logan to mash the unlock button which didn't happen. He kept pushing the lock button and havin' the lights to come on. If you know my keys my car key isn't a norm key. Its a block which has the lock, unlock, and pop trunk button on it. Its my key and you push it into a hole and push a start/stop button to crank/uncrank the car. Its neat. But in this case it wasn't too neat b/c Logan just kept pushing the lock button. And the spare you ask? It was in the car too, along with my purse! Anyways I ended up calling 911 and had to have a wrecker to come out and open the car. It cost 50.00! But my kids were safe. Now I have to find a box thing that I can put my spare key in just in case I ever need it.

Oh....Brooky Ya'll is cutting her first tooth finally! Its the bottom one, you can actually see it, and the one next to it should cut soon after the first.
Oh she got weighed and is 19 pounds 12 ounces! lol
She also is 30 inches long. Big kid! The doc said to up her baby food,so I will do it.

Well church tomorrow and it's almost 11pm so I've got to hop off here. have a great rest of the weekend!

shop till u drop!

Ya'll I shopped friday! lol I really shouldn't have...but I had pastors daughter with me and lol she tells ya to get everything! Now grant it...I got deals, lots of them. I got shoes from Rue 21 for $5 a pc and went to the thrift store...oh and I got me some birkenstocks...they are good for winter and wearing with our skirts. Hard to find shoes that go with skirts during the winter...in summer we all wear flip flops or a sandle.
We went to goodwill, they were having half off clothing sale. I got some skirts (dressy) and some suit jackets. Soon it will be cooling down and I can start wearing them. Found some stuff for other people as well.

We stayed the night fri at our camper. The season is almost over so we stayed. Ray stayed the entire weekend! lol he usually does though. I dont b/c its a long drive sun morning from there to the church. Well half hour till I put the kids down for the night!
Brooky goes tomorrow to get shots and her six month check up. Had to cancel the last appt. I think she weighs like 20 pounds! lol We will see.

check out my pretty hair!

Here is a hairdo that I just came up with when I was messing around trying to do something different. I need to wash my hair so I will try to redo this for church tonight. I love BIG hair!

Course there are a few changes that will be made...but I liked it over all!

All I want....

Well I could start off this blog by saying there is alot that I desire. Both spiritual and material I guess you could say.

Spiritual:

* I would like to have a great annointing....
* I would like to be able to pray more then I do now
*I would like to see God move even more in my family.
* I would like to be able to overcome my weaknesses better then what I do now b/c I feel like I'm doing a horrible job lol
* I would like to see God move in such a mighty way in our church. Greater then what he is moving now.
* I would love to get drunk in the spirit again.
* I would love to have my hands annointed greater then what they are now as I sign songs.

But above all else I want to have myself fully and wholly committed to God. I want to know that I'm ready if He were to come like a theif in the night. I want to be the clay and He the potter moulding me into a vessel worthy of His spirit.
All in time.


Material wise:
* I would love to have the land and house built that we've talked about for a few years already.
* I would love to have more of our property paid off!
* I would love to have my Yukon Denali, but looking like it won't ever happen.

Material wise...it's really just stuff. I'm spoiled! I love what I love and I can't help myself. But I've come to the decision that I'm not going to worry about it. Once again in Time things will happen and come to be.
I'm lucky and blessed beyond what most people are and I'm thankful.
Have a great night!

I know ur all dying for pics!

I found out that the last re-take pictures, they didn't add to send me link to view pics. So I will not have any of those to post unless i take time to scan. lol prob wont.

here are some pics from Brookys Dedication, and some other pictures as well.

Brooky doesn't take a nu nu, she chews on it. lol Talks with it in her mouth. Just something to play with according to her.Brooklynn sitting on my lap with logan holding her hand. This is from her dedication day.

Brooklynn with Br. Pullens, My Pastor. She loved being held by him during the dedication, and she hammed it up let me tell ya. Blowing bubbles, trying to get the microphone from him. He ended up giving it to me. It was so sweet.

He took Brooky to the alter and held her and prayed for her. Just as Hannah laid her baby on the alter in dedication back to God. He knew she would roll off so he sat with her.

Logan at church sitting up front with us for the dedication. He loves to dress up, get his hair done, wear his tie and belt lol and his dress shoes. He is my little preacher man.

Here is Logan thurs night at church shouting with the rest of the kids. He loves church.

Brooky day of dedication trying to get camera. lolThe whole family up front for the dedication. Logan was ready to go to his seat and Brooky, she watched Br. Pullens where ever he went, until he picked her up that is. For me it was something so sweet and special b/c I had prayed for a baby and not just a baby, a baby girl. That was one thing Br Pullens mentioned. God answered my prayers. Even after I miscarried, I still believed that Gods word was true and that he would give me my baby girl. She is six months old now and I'm still amazed lol. I serve a great and loving God.

Here is Logan from the VBS we had this summer. it was a survivor theme, hence the things around his neck! lol it was a great turn out and there were so many left over he grabbed all he could and wouldn't take them off. He was sweating! For days I had to get rid of a few at a time while he would nap until they were all gone b/c he wore them when he got up in the morning till nap time and when nap time was up, he wore them till bedtime. He has on one of the pastors daughters hat, and he didn't want to give it back to her. My kid is silly!

I believe they are both sleepin' now and I'm ready for a nap. It was an extremely busy week. Monday I had to do something...i don't remember what. Tues I was busy and had first prac for christmas program we will be doing. Wed had prac for drama that we were doing for fri night service. Thurs night was church and I was helping a sister at the church prepare dinner for the Pastors family and visiting preacher. I cooked loaded mashed potatoes, steak (and my steaks are yummy!), mushrooms and onions, and salad. There was desert too, but not made by me. Anyways it was a late night. I was supposed to take Brooky to get shots Fri morning but we got in so late and there was no way. I have to reschedule. Fri though we had church and it was amazing. My hubby has me lay out some clothes for him in case he showed up, which he did! lol God is great. It may be a small step to some, but it's huge to me. So now it's saturday, ray went to work and should be home soon, Kids asleep and I'm going to lay down too. Tomorrow is church and busy most of the day, so I prob won't blog tomorrow. Have a great weekend all.

I'm Thankful

In my life I have a lot to be Thankful for, even from a very young age. My real mother gave us up to our cousin at the age of two and we were raised in a Godly home. Even though we (my brother and I) weren't raised by our real mom, we knew her, she baby sat us. But God saw fit to put us in a Godly home. I rcvd the Holy Ghost at the age of 6! I was baptized in His wonderful name, Jesus, shortly after. B/c of situations, we went to live with our real mom right before we turned 7. I was marked though. I had been buried in the water and covered. God kept my brother and myself even though we hadn't been to church, he brought us once again to our cousin after our mom left when we were 10. She moved on to other things. But our cousin took us in again. We call her Mom. She wasn't in church at the time, had backslid, but knowning her responsibility to raise us she wanted to raise us right so she got back in church. I'm thankful b/c I remember as a young child in my room that i shared with my brother laying on the top bunk and crying out to God. He heard me I know he did b/c my heart felt him. I would lay there and tell Him I loved him. I would thank him for what he had done for me. I would give him a hug, litterally hold my arms up and out hugging him, and I can remember feeling like I was truly being hugged back. *crying now as I type this!* God is such a loving God. I didn't understand why things were happening the way they were but I remembered loving God.
So being back with our cousin, our mom, back in church, we moved to the Northern KY area. There we found a church and I was filled with the Holy Ghost once again. It was like coming home. God healed my hurt, and restored me. I know that even at a young age God had a plan for me. That he wanted to use me.
That is my desire to this very day, to be used by Him for His glory. Sure I've failed and done things that were against Him and his word, but its covered under the Blood. I want to be used and to feel the annointing greater then what I have ever felt it. I want to pray and seek His face.
Last night we had church. A visiting preacher from LA was here with his wife. She is sooo sweet and he is crazy funny.
I know that God gave me a promise, two actually, since I've been back in church. (little over two years) anyways...God promised me that my husband would be saved as long as I stayed faithful. He promised me little over a year ago that I would have my baby girl...and I have her. I held on to that promise even after I had miscarried after receiving that promise. I was pregnant for two months before I found out. That is abnormal for me b/c I always know when I pregnant as early as a week to two weeks.
Anyways sometimes it's a battle mind wise. Im not a paitent person by nature...if u know me u know what I mean. So sometimes it's hard seeing in my minds eye and having the faith that my hubby will walk through those doors and get the Holy Ghost. Be baptized in Jesus name and live the life of truth. But last night the visiting preacher from LA, Br Avery, told me that God will do it. He can't lie. That Ray was no match for God. lol and that is the truth too. It was some encouragement and I'm happy about it ya know. This morning Ray brought up that I had church tonight too. I told him yes and did he want to come. He said 'I don't know. maybe. It's the first of the month and Fri so I will prob work late.' I told him I would leave him some clothes out that he could come late even. He said he might or he might just meet us to eat with us all after church. Gods going to do it, so fellow readers...be prepared for the post telling you of how God did it!
