Wondering

So I haven't worked in a real job almost a year now. I quit working at the YMCA when I found out I was pregnant with Isaac, (that isn't the only reason but you know) and I haven't had a job since then. I really like staying home and enjoy the time that I have with my family at night but now a job opportunity has come up and I am thinking I might take it. Joe and I talked a little about it and really it is at night after 9 and only for a couple of hours. It would be cleaning the Bailey Golf course club house. Not anything big but maybe what I have been wanting. Just some extra money to help us get bills paid off and not feel like we can't do anything because I don't want to have no money left over. I also would like to buy a lap top so we can give our PC to the kids and let them use it to play on and then eventually school work. So I really do think it would be a good thing. Plus Joe could golf for cheap. Well I will let you know if I take up the offer. :)

The weekend

So I decided that I wanted to spend some quality time with my husband this weekend, (okay really not that quality because it was with about 30 junior highers). Anyway, he asked me if I wanted to go with him to Ignite the Junior high missions trip at our camp and I thought why not, I can cook and Joey won't spend his whole break playing video games and watching TV. So we went. It was a great weekend. I really enjoy cooking for the kids and watching them realize that life isn't always a breeze and working is hard sometimes. It was fun watching them work and watch some of them freak out because of mud or paint got on their clothes. It was just a blast. The kids did an awesome job fixing up the camp and it was a good experience for them, getting out and helping out by doing ministry work. It was cool. Joey and Atalie had a blast while we were there also. I love watching them hang out with the older kids and there were some really good kids here this weekend that I was glad they got to hang with them. They are good examples to my little children. I just pray that I can be a mom that helps them along the path of God so they will be God like when they get older. It really is hard work but I have seen from some of my friends how rewarding it is. I know that it is never ending but being a parent is worth it 100%.
While we were at camp Isaac had his 3 month birthday. He is getting so big. I can't even believe it. WOW. He laughs all the time and talks all the time. He is doing well sleeping through the night and loves to have people talk to him. The first year always flies by and it makes me sad because I love it when they are babies and so soon they grow up and start talking and walking and somehow they get older and older and then one day you are taking them to kindergarten. It is crazy and wonderful and sad all in one emotion. :) I have been cherishing every minute with Isaac and am so thankful for him everyday. He is such a huge blessing in our lives. Joey and Atalie both love him so much. Every morning Atalie wakes up and says "is Isaac awake, can I kiss him." Before Joey leaves for school he comes and gives Isaac a kiss. It is so fun to watch them interact with him. Joey said this weekend (after sleeping in bunk beds at camp) mom I want to get a bunk bed so Isaac and I can sleep in it together. The funny thing is Joe and I have been searching for a bunk bed for Joey to have in his room so when Isaac is older Joey and him can share it. :) HA HA. We will see if Joey actually wants to share with him when he is old enough.
Well It sounds as though Isaac is hungry. Off to feed my baby. Goodnight and God bless.

HMMM

Well I sure enjoyed the beautiful weather God gave us today. It amazes me that we are in February and it is 70 outside. Seriously, that isn't even possible in Iowa. :) HA HA. This week was a different week. I think I am still getting all my hormones back together after having Isaac. Somedays I was in a great mood and loved the day then the next I was just in the mood to lay around and not do anything. I don't know why I just was. I tried doing different things, like taking Atalie to Chick fil a to play and eat there, and that helped. I really think I need to make a goal of leaving my house and doing something fun for one day a week. That way Atalie has fun and so do I. I can't spend all my time sitting at home doing nothing.
On a happier note, I signed Atalie up for soccer. She is so excited. I thought that way she will get to meet other girls and have some excerise in the process. She doesn't get out much except to church and I want her to be around other people. She has wanted to play since I signed Joey up for Flag Football in the fall but she wasn't old enough. So I told her when she turned three she could play. So I hope she likes it. We will see how she does. She is only 3 so it is mainly for her to get out and do something. (of course)
Isaac is getting so big. He is laughing all the time now. The other night I was sitting by him on the couch and I kept saying "boo" to him and everytime I did that he would burst out laughing really loud. He is so cute. He loves it when you talk to him and he won't stop smiling if you continue to talk to him. He is the sweetest baby. He also is sleeping pretty well through the night. He goes to bed around 11:30ish and then wakes up anywhere between 5-9 depending on the night. So that is WONDERFUL. A little more sleep for me and a schedule for him. YEAH.
Joey is having a rough time. He was exhausted this week and didn't want to do anything, including going to school. Plus the fact that I talked to his teacher for Parent/teacher conference this week and she said that she doesn't think Joey should go to the first grade that he should stay back in Kindergarten one more year. I knew it was coming because I see him struggle everyday just doing his homework, but it is still hard to hear. He just isn't getting his letters and isn't reading well, and can't sit during group time. I know that it is a struggle for him and I know that his maturity level isn't where the other boys are and he should stay back I just feel bad for him. I know in the end it is probably better for him and I will make it as pleasant as possible for him, but still it doesn't make it any easier. It will be okay. I know it will and Joey will do great. He just needs some extra time. Well it is time to make some pizza, yumo!!!!!
