Re: I found your website - I have a question!

How are you?

I'm circling back regarding an email I sent last week about this page on your website (http://kimberry25.blogspot.com/2011/11/day-3.html), which links to a page about pet nutrition.

Would it be possible for you to add a link to The Ultimate Pet Nutrition Guide on your website? After all, it looks like you care about educating pet parents on the best ways to feed their pals!

Again, we'd like to make this easier for you by writing an original blog post, with a link to this guide, for your site. Please let me know if this would help!

You may recall that 35 pet nutrition experts that were interviewed for this guide. Overall, its purpose is to help pet parents make healthy feeding decisions for their furry friends.

This guide will answer some of your readers' most pressing questions. Thanks for your time and consideration!

Have a fantastic day,

New Blog!!!!

Hey Everyone - I have changed my blog address since I could never figure out how to just change the sign-in e-mail address.  :)

The new blog address is: www.lkzscornelius.blogspot.com

Come and check us out to see what we're up to!

2.10.2012

11 months

Little Miss Sadie is now 11 months old and tomorrow Zachary will be 1 month away from his 3rd birthday.  Their birthdays are approaching so quickly and I can't believe that we're about to have a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old. 

The "terrible 2's" have not been terrible at all.  I have thoroughly enjoyed  getting to see Zachary's personality develop and his verbal skills are AMAZING to me!  So much has changed in a year and it's so hard to believe the development that he has made.  Do we have our bad days with him, of course, but we have bad days too and we can't expect him to be perfect and not have any bad days.  Overall, he has been great and such a joy to me.  I LOVE staying home with him and wouldn't have it any other way at all.

Sadie's personality has really been blooming the last few months into such a sweet little angel.  She's still nursing and doing great.  I have no doubt in my mind that we'll be able to make it to my goal of 15 months.  She hasn't bit in a good month, but she's never bit out of vengenance only on accident.  Her and Zachary play pretty well together unless they're tired......HA!

Overall, the last month has gone well and we're adjusting to our new normal with Les' mom living with us for the last 5-6 wks or so.  Les and I celebrated Valentine's last night and we had such a great time w/o the kids or mom with us.  We went and saw Breaking Dawn, Part 1 and then ate dinner at Rockfish.  Let me tell you, their seafood is so good!  I recommend the crab stuffed flounder or the crab cakes........DELISH!  Les had the grilled Tilapia and it was very good too, I snuck a bite off his plate.  :)

Today I made whoopie pies and they were so easy and yummy too.  They were a HUGE hit after dinner tonight by everyone.

I want to end with a HUGE praise and give Jesus all the glory.  My mom had an appt this week to measure one of her cancer spots near her clavicle.  Praise Jesus it hasn't grown at all; while it hasn't shrunk either, we can't focus on that.  We don't know the plan, but HE does.  We're placing our whole trust in Him.  Whether she is healed on Earth or in Heaven; we trust His ultimate plan will be done.  Jesus, thank you for giving us the hope of knowing we'll see our loved ones who are believers that go before us again someday.  Through YOUR blood, we are saved.

Have an awesome weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.29.2012

WHAT?!

Holy Moly, over a whole month has gone by........WOWZERS!!!!!!!!

Well, I can understand why b/c it has been BUSY over in the Cornelius household.  It started with an appt to the GI doc for my MIL and ended with her moving in with us.  Overall, it has been great so far and we're just working through all the kinks and adjustements of going from just us, to having grandma here too.  It has been, I think, 4 wks on Tues, so it has been busy.  As we adjust to the "new" normal; continue to pray for us with this big adjustment.  :)

The kids' b'days are coming up way too fast for me too!  Sadie will be 11 months old on February 4th.  March is the BIG month for the kiddos and their b'days.  I decided that this year; we're celebrating their b'days together b/c I know when they're older; I won't have that option.  So, I have started "planning" their b'day party, but when I say planning, I know the themes, I think.......HA!

My mom is doing really well and the cancer is shrinking in one spot and they're keeping an eye on the other spot under her left clavicle.  Thank you for the prayers for her too!!!! 

I promise to write more, but our wireless was out for about 4 wks and that totally stunk, but it's fixed now thanks for Les' brother.  :):)  So, now I have the freedom to write a blog in our room.  YAY!

So, I hope you have a great week - I'm leaving in the morning with the kids and going to go and visit my bestie, Christy and her family in East TX.  I'm so pumped b/c she moved back at the end of 2010 and I am finally able to go out there and see their new digs.  :)  Plus, we just had her baby shower for Mr. Tyson on Saturday, so that was a load of fun!!!!  I can't wait to meet him and it won't be but another 4 wks or so.  Love you little buddy!!!!!!

Growing Up

Our babies are growing up just too fast for me!  Today, Sadie took a few steps while holding onto the couch.  She seemed so proud that she had stood up and tried the walking thing.  Of course, about that time, she was getting close to Zachary's car & he kind of pushed her.  Well, it was enough to knock her over, so over she went and the tears started.  I helped her stand back up and she seemed better pretty quickly. 

Zachary is 2 yrs and 9 months old.  He talks like crazy, loves cars, trains, trucks....pretty much anything that moves!  LOL

Sadie is 9 1/2 months old.  She is crawling and starting to crawl more on her knees.  Mainly sticks to her army crawl and she is good at it too!  :)  She is eating good & would rather feed herself. 

We're doing good and just enjoying the holiday season.  Thanksgiving was good and we enjoyed having the Cornelius' over.  Then we had Christmas yesterday with the Cornelius'.  Then on Monday, we'll have Christmas with the extended Johnson's.  I'm not really sure when we'll have Christmas with my immediate family.  However, we will probably have Christmas with just our little family of 4 on Christmas morning, but we'll see.  It falls weird b/c Christmas is on a Sunday this year.

I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and remember, Jesus' birth is the Reason for the Season!!!!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11.24.2011

Days 22 - 24!

Day 22: I am thankful for the missionaries who are overseas spreading the Good News!

Day 23: I am thankful for the military and how they are serving us by being over there keeping our freedom.

Day 24: I am thankful for our country and the all the freedoms that we have.  We have the freedom to worship together at church, read our Bibles, pray, etc.  I pray that our country turns around b/c all those freedoms will start diminishing if not.

I hope that you have a Happy Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!! 

We're actually going to be celebrating with our families this weekend.  Today we're celebrating my b'day with my parents by having homemade lasagna!!!

11.21.2011

Absent for awhile....yes, I know!

I want you all to know that even though I haven't been able to blog what I am thankful for; I have been writing them down.  We were out of town from the 7th - 17th.  We were camping at Caddo Lake State Park.  We had a great time, but as you probably know; not many people knew we were going to be gone AND for such a long time.  Les was out deer hunting and actually shot 3 while we were gone.  So, for him this year; he has 4 deer.  He's allowed 1 more for the state of TX, but we'll see if he's able to get another one. 

Here are the things that I am thankful for:
Day 7: Rain - whew, this is much needed for Texas.  We had just set the pop-up up at the park and within 10 min; it was POURING!!

Day 8: Heat - there was a cold front that came through and it was just flat out cold, but thanks to heaters; we were able to stay cozy and warm.

Day 9: Shelter - we have been sheltered through the rain/cold.  I would say that this also goes for our house when we're home. 

Day 10: Burp Clothes - Sadie LOVES to hold them when she's going to sleep.  It's crazy; I can be rocking her without it, but the minute she has one in her hands; she's sound asleep!

Day 11: Internet - we were basically without any type of service (phone/internet).  So, when we actually had service for a moment; then it was nice.  HOWEVER, it was also nice to not have any of those things and just focus on each other.

Day 12: Owls - we went on a Owl Prowl with one of the park rangers.  This was very informative and enjoyable for us.  Now Sadie didn't really know or care what was going on, but Les, Zachary and I enjoyed it.  They are such beautiful animals!  On our Owl Prowl, we did get to hear an owl "talk" back to the tape that the ranger had. 

Day 13: Nature - Zachary and I were on a hike one morning and while we were walking; the leaves were falling all around us.  It was such a beautiful sight.  I was thanking God for all that He has created!

Day 14: Laundry Mats - this one is crazy b/c we take for granted our machines at home, but when you don't have them; they're such a blessing!  I only packed for 5 - 6 days and knew that if we stayed longer; then we would need to do laundry.  This particular day; I took a break and went and washed our clothes. 

Day 15: McDonalds and their $1 Sweet Tea - oh man, this was the best glass of sweet tea b/c I had been drinking water and some kool-aid.  YUMMO!

Day 16: Nice Neighbors - this particular day I was thinking of our neighbors at the state park.  The couple that was staying next to us were so sweet and friendly.  One of things is that they let us borrow their internet card thingy to check the weather that was about to change (storms coming in) and another thing was bringing us homemade peanut butter cookies..........can I just tell you how good they were?!?!  I ate several immediately.............HAHAHA  When the kids and I went to tell them goodbye; Margo had made me a red, white, and blue hotpad holder.  That was so sweet & I was so thankful for that.  In fact, it's on my counter right now!

Day 17: Knowledge - the kids and I had taken a walk down another trail.  Well, while we were walking, I came across a smell that I identified as butterscotch.  I went to the rangers office and explained to them the smell.  After researching, the ranger decided that it was a Ponderosa Pine.  It was so cool learning something, both me and them!

Day 18: My own bed - it was wonderful to be sleeping with just Les.  Zachary slept with us the whole time we were gone b/c we had Sadie on the other end by herself.  He is a snuggler, so it was nice to be able to stretch out on my side of the bed....HA!

Day 19: Homemade goodies - I have already begun a few yummies for family/friends.  I made a treat today and can't wait to share it!

Day 20: ME!  I was actually born on this day; it was my 32nd birthday.  :)

Day 21: God's Healing Hand - as I was thinking about today's blessing; I was quickly reminded that this time last year, I was at the doctor with my mom.  She was very sick and had to be hospitalized (she was on chemo).  I was thanking God for healing my mom and giving me (all of us) more time with her.  I don't know if He has healed her permanently or just temporary, but I am still thankful for this extra time.  Thank you, Lord for being the Great Physician.  I love you, Lord!

There you have it, folks, I am all caught up on my days now!!!!!!!!!!

What are you thankful for?????

11.06.2011

Day 6

My Parents!!!!!  I chose to do them today b/c today is their 41st Wedding Anniversary...........YAY!!!!!!!!!  :)

They are such a blessing to me & have helped me so much over the years.  Now that I have my own family; they still help me, but in different ways.  They baby-sit, fix meals here and there, encourage us, etc.

I pray that Les & I will be alive long enough to even see 41 yrs together; I would be 69 yrs old and Les would be 77 yrs old or so.  :)  That seems REALLY old!!!!!  LOL

Anyways, thank you mom and dad for setting an example to us & I pray that God will draw you both closer together more than you can imagine & that God would remain in the center of your marriage.

I love you both so much!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here is a picture of my parents, Les, me, Zachary, and Sadie at a rodeo from this past summer.  FUN TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11.05.2011

Day 5

I am thankful today for the meat that God provides for us.  Whether it is from the grocery store or shot!  Here is a picture of the doe that Les shot this morning.  :)  So proud of you, Les!  Thank you, God for the meat that you put on our table. 

This is the doe, his rifle, and his tree stand.  She was shot around 6:55 AM, so not a bad way to start the morning off!!!!  He hunted the spot that I hunted last year.  I saw around 8-9 deer last year at this spot.  WAY TO GO, LES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11.04.2011

Day 4

Today, I am thankful for the newest member of our family, Sadie!  She has been such a blessing to our family.  She is so much fun, has the BEST smile, has awesome hair (like myself), is very curious of people and her surroundings (another characteristic of me).  All in all, she's just the BEST daughter!!  When I was pregnant w/ Sadie, I was kind of hoping that it would be another boy, but the minute they said it was a girl (at 13 wks); I was like," OH MY GOSH, I WANT A GIRL........YAY!!!!!!!!"  I was so excited and knew that my dreams of piercing her ears, big bows, etc were going to come true.  For as long as I can remember; I have wanted to piece my daughters ears and this was before I was even married.  :):)

Today she is 8 months old and for her b'day present; she got the 2nd round of her flue shot.  What fun is that?!  :)  Let's see, she is rolling every where, she army crawls all over the house now (no part of the house is off limits.....she crawled into the bathroom where Les was showering and was there on the little rug when he opened the door to get out.......too cute!).  She has 2 teeth (bottom front) and 2 more teeth that are just about to cut (I give it a day or 2 days at the most till they cut through the gums).  Those 2 teeth coming in are the top front.  She eats like crazy!  Loves straws.......she will FIGHT you for your straw.......HA!  I keep her hair either in a clip or pony-tail most of the time b/c it's now in her eyes.  It's gotten sooooooooo long!  I could continue, but overall, she's doing GREAT and lovin' life!

Here are some pictures of our sweet little girl:

Sadie, I love you so much and couldn't be any happier that you're my baby girl.  I look forward to seeing you grow up.  I pray that you rely on God and that you follow His will for your life.  I love you, Sadie Jewell!!!!!!!!!!!

11.03.2011

Day 3

I have been out all day, so I am finally getting to the blog!!!

I am thankful for my son, Zachary, today.  He's a huge blessing in my life & just love that little guy so much.  He's 2 1/2 yrs old and just growing like crazy.  He talks so much and has a huge vocabulary!  Of course, I think he's just the smartest little thing around....HA!

He's very good with Sadie; which melts my heart.  I'll see him kiss her on the head and then rub her hair.  Awwww!!!!!!!!!  He's such a sweet little boy.

Zachary, I love you so much and I'm so thankful that God gave you to us!  You have blessed my life so much; I don't even know where to begin.  I pray that you'll grow up to be a godly man and will follow God's plan for your life.  Always look to Him for guidance; He'll never guide you wrong.  I love you, Zachary!!!!  :)

Here are some old pictures, but I thought it would be fun to see him change of the last 18 months or so.

11.02.2011

Day 2

For what I am thankful for today, that would be my hubby, Les.  We have been friends for 6 1/2 yrs now and we just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on October 6.  These first 4 yrs have gone by soo fast!  We have had a great marriage and I just love this man so much.  He's really been challenging me even though he doesn't know it.  He reads his Bible everyday and I am striving to do the same too.  I'm so proud of him!!

Les, I am so thankful that God crossed our paths and brought us together.  You're the LOVE of my LIFE and my true soulmate.

I love you, Les!!!!!!!!!

This is one of our engagement pictures!!!!!!!!!!!

30 Day Challenge

I have challenged myself (dare to join me???) to post everyday for something that I am thankful for.  I decided to do this for Thanksgiving!!!
Day 1:

I am thankful for Jesus Christ, my Lord & Savior.  He died on the cross for my sins and your sins.  All it takes to get it Heaven is to accept His free gift!  The changes that come along with accepting Jesus is amazing.  However, God never said that it would be easy to follow Him.  However, well worth it in the end (read Revelations and you can see it doesn't turn out well for those who don't accept Jesus).
Jesus, thank you for all that you do for me, how you prove yourself to me, and overall accepting and loving me no matter how I behave.  Which is not always good, but I strive to be like You!  I love you, Lord!!!!!!
This is one of my FAVORITE pictures!



To me, this picture represents that Jesus will never force His way into our lives, but we have to open the door and let Him in (notice there is no door knob for Him to use).

10.23.2011

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!!!!!!!

10.10.2011

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :)

10.06.2011

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).

9.20.2011

Puffs

Well, Little Miss Sadie met a milestone.  For a few weeks now; I have been putting Puffs on her highchair tray at various meals.  She has been working on grasping the Puffs with her fingers and each time has gotten better and better.  Tonight, she grabbed a Puff with her LEFT hand (I hope she's left-handed b/c I am) and put the Puff in her mouth.  I was so proud of her that I started clapping and she jumped and looked at me and grinned really big.  She loves eating Puffs, but I always put them in her mouth, so now it looks like she's actually going to start feeding herself food.  I'm so excited for this development and watching her motor skills build up.  What a big girl that she's becoming!!! 

Here's a picture of her yesterday after eating a popsicle and having some sweet potatoes. What a face!!!!


She's actually trying to look around the camera at me and just grinning.  So sweet!!!!

Here she is after the popsicle and actually holding onto the popsicle stick.  Probably what happened to it (we shared it).  :)  She would squeal until I would give her another bite, so cute listening to her.  She reminds me of Zachary when ice cream was around.

9.19.2011

Fall??

Is Fall really right about to start, wait for it........IN 4 DAYS (Sept 23rd)????  YEAH - I can hardly wait for Fall to start.  My favorite time of year is Fall/Winter.  I am ready to gladly welcome the cooler temps, the beautiful colors of Fall, the Holiday season, baking, cooking, enjoying MORE time with family, hunting season, my anniversary, my birthday, and more camping!!!

I'm so excited; I just can't hide it.  I'm about to lose control and I think I like it; I like it!  Don't remember the name of that song, but what a fun way to let go and have a reason to just dance around and sing while the windows/doors are WIDE open and letting the cooler air flow through our house.

We're all getting over having the stomach bug; thank you Mr Z for passing it onto mommy and daddy.  Les and I were so weak yesterday, but we managed to take care of both of our babies and today feeling much better.  I still have a lingering headache and some dizziness if I move around too much, but other than that, back to normal on the tummy front.  :)

Some fun news - my bestie is moving to TEXAS!!!!!!!  Yay, I was so happy when she posted the news on FB b/c then I didn't have to worry about slipping up and saying something.....HA!  Love you, Christy!!!!  Anyways, they're going to be about 3 hours from us, but that is driving and not flying, so we'll finally be living in the same state.  Christy moved out to Las Vegas after she married her honey back in July 2005.  He got a new job here and she'll be living in Flint.  Can you know how happy that I am?!?!  I'm thrilled and so glad that she'll be closer to her family and of course, me too!!!  Also, she found out today that she's carrying a bouncing baby boy!!!!!!!  I was so hoping that she would have a boy, but I thought with her trend of babies, she would have a girl.  YAY for boys!!!!!!!  I can't wait to meet him and he's actually do between my babies' b'day's - another March baby!!!!  :)

Go outside and enjoy this beautiful day - we'll be back out there this afternoon, but both kiddos are napping and I'm laying down here blogging.  HA!!!
