Whitnee, Weight, and Being an Auntie

It's hard to believe we haven't bought diapers for about a month now. Whitnee is a potty pro! I'm so proud of her! I'm also very amazed at how much she changes from day to day. She really enjoys playing pretend now. There is nothing I enjoy more then watching her play mommy to her babies and sing to them in the rocking chair. That means I am doing something right 'cuase she is learning to be a mommy be what I do. Thank you God for allowing me to be a mommy to a pretty amazing little girl. She has been so stubborn here recently. She is learning how to do everything her self and wants to try and do everything she can by herself even if mommy and daddy doesn't think it's the best idea. We are trying to teach her that there are some things that mommy and daddy have to help with. She is learning.. slowly. :D This past Sunday we had a new kid in our class for Sunday School, and Whitnee was so sweet to him, he was shy so when it was time to talk about our story she grabbed his hand and brought him to the table and kept saying his name. It was so cute! I sure do love her sweet spirit. It has made me even more want to get her involved with stuff that has other kids. She loves to be around kids and be apart of activities. However I'm afraid she will freak that mommy isn't there when it comes to pre school time. This is why Michael and I have decided that this time next year we want her in a mothers day out program so when Kindergarten comes she doesn't cry every time, and so mommy doesn't cry every time either.

So I have been at this Hello New Me project for a week now and has lost a pound, I met my first goal, loosing a pound a week. Hopefully I can keep it up. I have joined a 4 week challenge with a group of girls on Facebook that also have 2 yr olds that were born in may. We are seeing what group can loose the most weight in 4 weeks. I have the hardest time during the weekend it'll be even harder no that football season as started. Or is about to start, Saturday is the first Razorback game and this girl is soo beyond excited I can't even stand it! Wooo Pig Sooie... Whitnee is going to be a razorback fan if she likes it or not. :D She will already call the hogs.. ne who back on track. :D Michael has been very supportive of me during this new adventure. I really need to go see a doctor and just have a check up since I have no clue when my last one was. I'll put that on my list of things to do.

Well the many things that happens before a wedding as begun with Stevie and Brian. They had there first wedding shower this past weekend, and got a ton of stuff. I'm so excited for them. God really did make them for each other. This next month will go by so fast for them.

Well Bailey Grace (my brother and his wifes baby) will be here soon. Her due date is Sept 25th. I think she will go early and I can't wait to hold her and meet her, they have waited so long for this day. They will be amazing parents and Bailey Grace will be soo spoiled! I will also be an Auntie agian in March Brittany and Miak are also going to have a baby. Happy for them as well. I kinda hope it's an April 1st baby 'cause that'll be so much fun. :D Guess we will wait and see.

Well I hope everyone has a good Tuesday, I will leave you with a quote I found and I think of it all the time.. "what if you were left today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday." think about that for a bit.. do you thank him for everthing?

3 Weeks

Week One
July 24th - 30th
VBS

We just got done with an amazing week of Vacation Bible School. I helped teach the kids the music and I absolutely loved it! Whitnee and I have been listening to the music every where we went so I could learn it, and Whitnee LOVES it! Every time we got in the car it was Bi Bi Bi mommy. I needed to make a copy of the cd before I turned it in. Oh well hopefully she will be ok with listening to Veggie Tales. We had such a great turn out this week, and even had our biggest group during parents night. I love seeing how excited the kids get during VBS and pray that they learned something and one day will be thankful for the time the spent learning about God. I also had Hailey during the day time, her and Whitnee love each other but they do tend to drive each other crazy. :D Whitnee didnt' get much sleep this last week so I'm hoping we can get her back on a real schedule. I don't really see that happening 'cause as you can tell  from the title of this post it's going to be busy for the next to weeks.. so that leads me to this week

Week 2
Aug 1 - Aug 7
Youth Trip

On Thursday we are taking our youth on the annual youth trip. We are headed to Kansas City, and we couldn't be more excited! Whitnee is going to be staying with my sister at our house so that means, I must start cleaning the house that away Brittany doesn't have to worry about sleeping in a disaster. :D thankfully my mother in law has Whitnee today so I've been able to be very productive. When Whtinee is working she will be at our Nan's house Whitnee's gonna have fun. I on the other had will be worried sick that she is being a turd. :D LOL praying she is good. If you think about it pray that not only the kids but the leaders will be blessed beyond measure this weekend. I'm excited to spend the weekend with a great group of teens

Week 3
Aug 8 - Aug 13
Wedding

My sister is getting married in a little over 2 weeks. My dad, his wife Tiffany, and her daughter Desi will e here the Thursday before Brit gets married. I'm sooo beyond excited to see them! With them coming in town it's not just cleaning time it's deap cleaning time they said it doesn't matter but oh it matters to me. :D I love when my dad comes in town but am soo sad when they leave, when he leaves I realize how much I miss him and how much I wish he was around. Then how much he is missing with not seeing Whitnee grow.

Well there is why I won't have much down time... busy busy busy.. hope everyone else is having a less busy life then us. Enjoy the weather but stay cool.. till next time
