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.
