Another Prayer Request

I forgot to post this earlier.

I talked to my sister today and my niece Ankica, fell out of bed and broke her collarbone. They are waiting to see the orthepedic doctor to see what they want to do. My sister thought they would just put her in a sling.

Her blog is MontgomeryMusings.


Thanks again and take care

Prayer Request

I have a prayer request for Emma. She has had some issues with pooping recently and we will hopefully be going for an x-ray tomorrow to see what is up.


Thank you and we will keep you posted.

Take care and God Bless,

Happy Birthday!

I did not get a chance to post this on Saturday.
It was my dad's birthday and we went to my parents for a yummy dinner and some super yummy cake, Brown-Eyed Susan Cake. Two of my sisters and their families were able to come. We are praying that my older sister and her family will be moving to be closer to us soon.


My mom got my dad a fooseball(sp?)table so I am sure that there will may games played when we get together.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Love Jo

Fun Quiz to take!

I got this quiz from work and thought it would be fun to pass it along to you.

Sitting Pretty

Imagine my surprise when I went to go get Emma up from her nap and I found her like this..

Now, it may not seem like a big deal to see her sitting in her crib, however for Emma, it is a huge milestone.
This is the first time EVER that she has gone from laying down to sitting up, all by herself. It is something we have been working on, but like many other things, I felt like it would never come. She is apparently getting the hang of it because she did it two other times tonight. Go Emma! Mommy is so very proud of you!!

We had a very nice time at the Hotel Ruby Marie. It is a cute bed and breakfast close to the capitol. It used to be a hotel that has been renovated. There is some history to the building and it has beautiful woodwork.





I would have liked to go to the capitol at night to snap some pictures, but I did get these pictures.




We also went to Mad City Church. Our friends who live in Madison go there and we decided it would be a great opportunity to meet up with them and check out the church. It was a great time with awesome praise and worship and a good guest speaker.

Sam continues to be a joy to have around. I am almost convinced that he could probably start speaking in full sentences if he wants to. While I was giving him a bath, Emma was standing up by the tub and trying to get my attention and I said "Can I help you?" and he repeated what I said, not quite as clear, but clear enough so I knew what he had said. What is up with that? I try and try to get him to say stuff and he just looks at me like I am crazy and then when I am not even talking to him, he spits stuff out like that!

We are also working on the alphabet. I had gotten a set of flashcards at Walmart and now he is getting more into the pictures. Some days all of the letters are "A" some days everything is "E" and other days he will say the letters pretty good. And he is getting better at the pictures too. He is at a great age. Thankfully, he has not had any "terrible two" moments. Though someone told me that they thought that 3 was worse that 2, so we will see.

It is supposed to be in the 30's tomorrow, Praise the Lord! Unfortunately, that really won't hang around. They are calling for temps in the single digits again this weekend:( Oh well, spring will come eventually!

God Bless!

You have heard of Crazy Horse...

Let me introduce.... Crazy Hair


Her hair usually does this after a bath and it is still like that today. Right now her hair is still pretty fine and I am praying that she will have thicker hair like her daddy. But the poor girl will probably end up with fine thin hair like me:(
Sam, dressing up like Mr. Potato Head...


The next James Dean maybe...



And this one...


needs a caption. Anyone care to write one? No prizes to giveaway, just a little acknowledgement from yours truly:)

Take care

Coffe for the Troops!

I found this website where you can send coffee to our troops overseas. Check out the website here. And the BEST part is, the coffee shop pays for the shipping! How cool is that? It is only $7.99 per bag. I think that is a great deal and a small price to pay for the service that they are doing for our country. Please consider sending Coffee2Troops!

Please take a moment to send our troops one of the many luxuries they go without while serving our country!

God Bless
