Life's many blessings

Wow so much has happen since my last post. I often think..oh my blog I need to update that thing and I sit down and either one of two things happen. I start checking my mail or facebook OR one the girls either are begging me to let them play on Disney.com or Hynlee is pushing me out of the chair because she wants to sit here. So when I do have time to actually sit and start working on it I hardly ever get anything accomplished.

Let's see with my girls what's new?

Hynlee turned 18 months old today! I know I can't believe it. I still feel like she is it. She completes our family so my last baby is now approaching 2!! She can pee and poop in the potty. She loves M&Ms and will just about do anything for some! She is growing out of the biting stage, but has started pinching!! She still so little and skinny. She barely weighs 21lbs. But she makes up for her size in her attitude!

Callee, well is just being Callee. Still running, climbing, wild as always. She still worries me though. She has started complaining of hearing things. Like she will come through the house and want to know what we want because she thought she heard us calling her. At times she says the voices are making fun of her. This scares me for two reasons. One just because its weird. And two because she is my little girl. If someone was being mean or hurting her I can stop that. But if it's inside her head? How do I stop that? I feel totally helpless. I took her to her doctor and he wants her to be seen by another Dr. We are still waiting on that appointment. Just please say a prayer for her, that it will turn out to be nothing more than her WILD, NEVER-ENDING imagination! She will be starting Kindergarten in just a few weeks.

And Grace. Grace is the most kind, giving child ever. She always just wants to help. But lately this child has turned into a couch potato. I promise it's driving me crazy. She runs to the TV first thing in the morning before her sisters get up. She gets mad if you turn it while she goes in another room. And has even started hiding the remote. We have tried setting limits and that didn't work. Now I have to say she knows exactly which shows we allow and which ones we don't approve of. Even we aren't in the room and one starts coming on I can hear her turning it. But we have really consider turning off our cable. There are so much more to life than that crazy thing. We Derick and I first married we didn't have TV. And I thought we were missing out. Man was I wrong. I think about the family nights, and outdoor activities or just cuddling together we could be doing.

And lastly Derick. He has almost(fingers-crossed) got the job, we pray. He has always wanted to go back to firefighting. This has taken months of work and test and preparations but here goes the main things

Taken the first test...passed

Application.....approved

Fitness test....passed with flying colors

Last interview....next week
So please remember him also when you pray.

I feel sometimes like we have the craziest hectic life ever. But you know what.....maybe we do ....maybe we don't. But I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. I have been blessed more than I deserve.
