I'm packing for a trip to my parents

I am packing to leave in the morning to go see my parents in MO. It takes me around 12 hours with stops for the boys. I will be gone probably 3 weeks. My parents don't have internet at their house so I will not be online too much while I'm gone. Did I mention tomorrow is my birthday? What a way to spend your birthday isn't it. I should be doing this trip on a plane in the very near future. My cousin is becoming a pilot and is almost done. WHOOO HOOO. No more 12 hour driving days lost.

We will be doing school while at my parents and I will update when possible. I am looking forward to getting back to school and our routine. I'll try to get our Christmas photos up soon. I should have already done it but I've been lazy about that. I also got on Facebook. I see why people like it so much.

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and happy New Year.

Almost lost the blog

Ok I added something to my blog and ended up almost losing my blog because I had not saved it. I was able to get it back after losing some code and having to update it. I'm still working on it though so be patient. I've got to change fonts and colors yet so if it's hard to read something that will be updated soon.

Just a few moments ago

Just a few moments ago Jacob the 2.5 year old was playing with Buzz Lightyear and flying him around. He ran off down the hallway and I heard the toilet lid slam shut. I thought "Hmm? What am I going to find in the toilet?" So I head down the hallway and meet Jacob in the hallway with Buzz still in hand. I said "Get out of the bathroom. We don't play in the bathroom!" (Said with sweet tone and lots of smiles.) Jacob responds "I had to get Buzz's poopies out." while pointing to Buzz's back side. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Buzz had gone poopie in the potty. Now if I could just get Jacob to go poopie in the potty I'd be one happy Mama LOL.

Savior of the World is Born Today

Jesus' Birth in Bethlehem

1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.

2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city.

4Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.

6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth.

7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.

10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;

11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

12 "This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

14 "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He
is pleased."

15 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us."

16 So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger.

17 When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.

18 And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.

20 The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.
