Randomness

Whew, that was a STORM last night!!!  I woke up to hail, LOTS of lightening, strong winds, etc.  My mom was staying with us b/c she had kept the kids so that Les & I could go out for our anniversary (10-6-07).  :)  We celebrated 4 yrs of marriage and we have been together a little over 6 yrs.  We had a blast and Les treated me to my favorite place; The Melting Pot.  However, I am going to attempt this at home.  I am looking for a bouillon recipe to cook the meat in.  So, once I find that; then I am going to start with chicken and shrimp.  Then, I'll add the steak later on.  The chocolate that we ordered was Flaming Turtle - LOVED IT!  The waiter added rum that was on fire and it was flaming on top of the chocolate till it burned off.  Oh man, the chocolate was milk choc with caramel, and pecans.  YUMMO!  It was nice b/c we had time to just talk with no distractions.  It was about a 45 minute drive over there; then we were there for about 2 hours; then another 45 minute drive home.  Sadie did excellent for my mom & I'm so happy since she's not a bottle baby.  Would I change that; absolutely NOT.  I love that she's a good nurser and it's only for a short year b/c they go by just too fast.  Gosh, Sadie is going to be 8 months old in less than 2 weeks.  It's just flying too fast for me!

Something that I have been working on at home is writing scriptures down on notecards.  I am going to be hanging them around the house (mirrors, computer, etc).  I want our family to start memorizing scripture and when we see it all the time; then it will start to become engrained in our brains.  I just love this!  I have bought different color sharpies to make it fun and not boring black ink/white notecard.  If you have a favorite verse that you would like to leave on my blog; please do so!  I will add it to our cards w/ your name on the back of the card.  That is the other thing that I am doing.  I have asked for favorite scriptures from my parents so far and I am keeping record of who it's from.  I love knowing their favorite scriptures; to me; that's such a big gift and comfort to go to in a time of storm.

Otherwise, we're doing great!  Gearing up for hunting season; which starts in about 2 weeks (not early enough for Les.........LOL).  He has actually been bow-hunting some and enjoying that.  Plus, it let's him start hunting a month earlier..... :)

God bless & have a beautiful day!!!!!!!

Pictures of the kiddos!!!!

Sadie LOVES ice cream!!!

Zachary feeding the animals - he loved doing that!!

Sadie with a pumpkin; looking cute!

Zachary holding Sadie - just love this!  :)

Sweet smile - this is how he smiles for pictures now...HA!

Up close picture of Sadie too; I think she was looking at her daddy!

Love them together - I think they're really starting to look different.  Z looks like daddy and S looks like Mimi (in my opinion!)

Me and the kids at the Pumpkin Farm

Les and the kiddos - hay ride!

She loved munching on the grapes in this.  I never used it for Z, but thought I would try it with her and she wouldn't let go for me to refill it.

His 1st face-painting - a spider!

Here is Sadie playing outside in her piggy tails - look close and you can see those 2 bottom teeth too!  :)

Her hair was starting to go a little crazy, but she's still has those piggy tails - this is probably in the evening; can't remember for sure.  Just love her hair!

This was yesterday; she's been sitting up for awhile now.  She's now army crawling and very good at that too.  She definitely wants Z's cars!!!!  Just love that expression on her face!!

This was this morning; they were playing together!

Here they are again together; just love watching them interact.  She likes to grab his ears, pull his hair, and she even tried to bite him on the ear this morning.....HA!  Of course, she doesn't know yet that it hurts when she bites!!!!

Hope you enjoyed the MUCH NEEDED picture update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :)

4 yrs!!

Happy Anniversary to my hubby of 4 yrs now!!!!!!!!  I thank God for you Les & feel so blessed to call you my hubby.  I'm so glad that God crossed our paths about 6 1/2 yrs now.  We have truly been blessed beyond what I could have imagined the last 4 yrs.  The blessings runneth over & we have much to be thankful for.  I am looking forward to watching Zachary & Sadie grow up and seeing what they'll become. 

You're definitely the love of my life, soul mate, and best friend!!!!!!!!

As we continue walking down the path that God is leading us down, I pray that we will continue to keep HIM in the middle of our relationship.  His guidance is what has got us where we are today.  Thank you, Lord!!!

Leslie Dwayne Cornelius - I love you so much and I wish you a Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!

p.s. He got me a gift card to The Melting Pot (YAY!!) and He got a crossbow for hunting for his present (well, he picked it out.......LOL).
