Summertime fun..

Again I have a new appreciation for health.. I woke up Monday morning in a sweat and just didn't quite feel right but had a busy day planned and went ahead with it until around 4:00 I crashed crawled in bed and stayed there till Tuesday eve. never did I have a sore throat and ear ache like I did and really had no desire to eat or drink... was gurgling with vinegar and taking some natural stuff thinking it was maybe stret throat but when it kept getting worst and I was not swallowing at all..(literally spitting in a cup) we decided to get a diagnoses.. ended up to be tonsillitis.. he said they were so swollen it blocked my ear canal and that caused pressure in my ear..so today I am still breaking out in sweats and fever is up and down..  so once again my hubby just steps in and bears the load, never complains but I know its not always easy, my niece came both days to hang out with the boys, and the children have been getting a kick out of catering to momma, little miss Brianna is an amazing nurse,:)



We are truly enjoying our summer!!! And its going to fast, with the cooler temp. it feels like I should be house cleaning or school shopping but really I do not want to hear the word SCHOOL yet... not sure what it is this year but I am having a hard time thinking of school schedule coming up.. I know for sure  I am going to miss my helpers!! and I truly mean that, they do so much with the boys and all their chores.. I know another thing is the driving back and forth everyday.. But we are thankful for the opportunity to have good schools and all the hard work and effort the teachers put in to it..

someone Ask us recently how the twins changed our lives in a positive way.. at the time I could of course have a few that came to mind but the more I thought about it I was blessed how looking back how many GOOD changes they brought...

1. Hubby and I always worked as a team in the whole parenting thing but having twins made that even more a fact.. when we are getting ready or when we are away he has my back and is constantly on the watch to see if I need help...
2. we stay at home!!!! and we love it, campfire and kickball with the kiddos is way more inviting then going away,..
3. my dependency on the lord.. on my own strength I cannot meet the needs of my 5 little ones.. 
4. with being home a lot more I still felt like I need to get out and somehow exercise so with hubbys support and him actually joining me we started runnin... yes I know when do I find time to run, we take one day at a time, most times we go right after sam gets home from work and just to get out and talk about our day and be together alone for those 30 min. actually gives us energy to face the rest of the day:)

The Boys are 6 month already!!! they are a total blast.. sitting on their own and getting around in their walkers, they did super on our vacations!!! love them to pieces...

some pictures about our summer....


                   we got to enjoy a lovely condo oceanfront for free... thanks to someone that sam did a job for, this is actually the third year we used it..although camping is our first pick for vacation its good to be able to spend a few days on the beach..

the kiddos had so much fun...this year we had the best site we ever had waterfront with lots of yard.. I really didn't need to go anywhere the kids could swim,fish and bike all where I could watch them without leaving the campsite..   the big tube that was the week hit..

something I have been challenge with lately...

we do not have to be an appointed pastor, street Evangelist, youth pastor, bible study leader,

to preach the gospel but to "go tell the world about me' those around us ALL the time everywhere we go we should be spreading the good news.. do I?? or am I so wrapped up in my world ,my work, my STUFF, 

 

have a blessed week...
