We went to Chuck E Cheese with Makenna's church friends and had a blast! Her friends Lane (who she has a crush on), his sister Ashlyn, Lilly, and the twins Addison and Braelyn went with us. Then we went to Ronnie's burger for lunch. They were very well behaved, but we do make a statement wherever we go! Who could miss a large group of adorable youngsters?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju-wFsI1zGbTQ05aDN6asSKAXBwkAVsTOFvkRlckLa7kI3XI3pzAYbWHcno3Diu0A9ecuuvxA3UnHljc-Mm5vaPxT08WZW1cuOfeeM_7lt4R5K37TAtUQhzV-mCz-DXEAS5Ppq2DJ8fTpI/s1600/IMG_1725.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju-wFsI1zGbTQ05aDN6asSKAXBwkAVsTOFvkRlckLa7kI3XI3pzAYbWHcno3Diu0A9ecuuvxA3UnHljc-Mm5vaPxT08WZW1cuOfeeM_7lt4R5K37TAtUQhzV-mCz-DXEAS5Ppq2DJ8fTpI/s320/IMG_1725.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>This is a Roller Coaster ride.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course we had to do our annual bluebonnet pictures. Makenna loves the bluebonnets! She thinks they are the most beautiful thing right now. She always has to comment on how beautiful they are every time we drive down the road. I put on their Easter outfits and headed out to Southerland's. There is such a vast field of them there! She was more interested in looking at them instead of the camera. Caden didn't quite know what to think. But like everything else, he tried to eat them! I have been teaching KK how bluebonnets are the state flower of Texas and the laws that surround them. She didn't care.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

There were so many great pictures to show and stories to tell. This has been an incredibly blessed Easter weekend. First and foremost, I am blessed beyond words that my Lord and Savior would suffer on my behalf, die a humiliating death on a cross, to conquer death and raise three days later. This morning at church our hymn of invitation was "I Surrender All." We sing it a lot and I always think about how I surrendered my life to Christ and now I am saved. But this morning I had a new thought: it's not just surrendering your life one time to be saved, it's about surrendering your life each and every day for the sake of living a Christ-centered life. I must surrender myself, material desires, my children, everyday comforts. We weren't called to live a cushiony and comfortable life, although human nature desires and wants that. God's Word says that we will endure trials and suffering. James tells us we must endure suffering to gain perseverance and be blessed by God. On Good Friday, our church partook in the Secret Church. It was all about suffering. David Platt took every book of the Bible, excluding Song of Solomon, and showed suffering in each book. We claim that we want to follow in Jesus's footsteps and lead a Christ-like life, but do we ever stop and pay attention to what that really means? Jesus endured so much suffering on Earth: physical, spiritual, emotional. When we want to follow in the steps of Jesus, that also includes His suffering, otherwise they are empty words. I have never ever thought about that until this weekend. Yes, I want a comfortable and cushiony life. My human nature desires that, but I am not called to be of this world. I must now change my whole thought process-easier said than done. If I truly want to worship and obey God and honor Christ, I must share in His sufferings and rejoice in them as well! That sounds like crazy talk, but that has been a big theme of this weekend with the Secret Church, which I'm sorry to say I was not able to attend this time so I have to rely on Brady, and our discussions at home. That is what Easter is about. Christ suffered for us and defeated death. We can now have redemption, forgiveness, everlasting life, a personal relationship with God. How exciting!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

He makes a sour lemon face when he eats green beans or peas, so I have to mix them with his yellow veggies. I think sweet potatoes are his favorite, with squash right behind them. Carrots are okay. He really likes his bananas! He has also tried peaches and apples. He like them fine, but I think the peaches were a little too sour for him. We'll try pears maybe tomorrow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Caden's 4 month apt was on a Thursday. Brady wanted to begin veggies on Saturday since Dr. Yap gave the go ahead. I was a little nervous, but I was convinced. So we tried it at dinner time with his cereal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She was actually in the room with me and experienced my whole giving birth process and I was so lucky that she documented it! I left out my "pushing" pics, so be glad I spared you all! I wish I could upload more and comment on each pic. Again, part of the reason why I don't blog often at all is because it is messed up and iPhoto makes it very difficult. When I am creating a new blog, my uploaded pics don't show. All I see is the 6 lines of gibberish. It wasn't always like this, so I hope I can fix it soon. Thanks goodness for Spring Break so I have some time to blog and show off my babies! Also, thank goodness for nap times!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ZwwiEq7sv-zBVLPzOMiLyRmWGhcodobFqNsPW0l1RkRuJTHgDmQmm2eKVpe_97x00xsNELi91B8aiagumglhStAcFiUfXXXfnvpT-GQNcDI2kw5QgqRH1lZ3F4y6rbNwZzCiuhNbCkk5/s1600/IMG_5520.jpg"><img style="display:block;

He also loves his sister and just smiles at her and grabs for her. She likes to sing to him when he gets upset and it immediately calms him most of the time. Their favorite songs to sing are either "Jesus Love Me" or ABC's. He is such a happy little guy and he sure loves to snuggle with his Mama! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZoNrKfhOY3I2SrhoVH0WhrzZbc30T9qypKAX9yiTvoCPPY2t-xSwxpiCpyMoTOEM1U5BcHWYkjzmsbRkuQi7h-QuwQo7K2tIdjq6f8fcwYj0J7lPhb816nciL8IiwFv0HXnE_FkHZMIk/s1600/IMG_8037.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZoNrKfhOY3I2SrhoVH0WhrzZbc30T9qypKAX9yiTvoCPPY2t-xSwxpiCpyMoTOEM1U5BcHWYkjzmsbRkuQi7h-QuwQo7K2tIdjq6f8fcwYj0J7lPhb816nciL8IiwFv0HXnE_FkHZMIk/s400/IMG_8037.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719843702442654258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5wnxfB5ScnHWGKw3eLoFaIGk9znzaBkVA4GzWnpjvmeE3fY69KopKAi_1I6XQNL1X69zbbjjSthUfClV5YYC8u550dVyR2j9dRQ-0MTF4rQSqEuEHDcF96m5KzajlNWYsmqhAGQnLO5iJ/s1600/IMG_8046.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5wnxfB5ScnHWGKw3eLoFaIGk9znzaBkVA4GzWnpjvmeE3fY69KopKAi_1I6XQNL1X69zbbjjSthUfClV5YYC8u550dVyR2j9dRQ-0MTF4rQSqEuEHDcF96m5KzajlNWYsmqhAGQnLO5iJ/s400/IMG_8046.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719843691397775010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBRzKAcO0OrlCf9ZUdhDctKyGm_LU1Mm9WIIftoNdbw3ZELPhu5drmrilwhrPGSqDhQJQWN4VbDBMgcexeT7sbGAcNdXJLLH_k4sPdazFm3iHU9ALFtWhry_uUwFD9RitswGp3-AawCMPO/s1600/IMG_8060.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBRzKAcO0OrlCf9ZUdhDctKyGm_LU1Mm9WIIftoNdbw3ZELPhu5drmrilwhrPGSqDhQJQWN4VbDBMgcexeT7sbGAcNdXJLLH_k4sPdazFm3iHU9ALFtWhry_uUwFD9RitswGp3-AawCMPO/s400/IMG_8060.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719843684961409442" /></a>Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173994786701981847.post-46358514106335320142012-03-14T14:41:00.002-05:002012-03-14T14:52:25.330-05:00Caden 4 monthsHere is Caden at 4 months old.<br /><br />He weighed 15.15 pounds (50%). He was 26 1/4 in long (90%). His head measured 17 1/4 in around (90%). He is a big boy! He can laugh out loud, raise himself up, sit with a little support, roll over front to back, "sing" and talk a lot. He loves eating his cereal. We introduced it at 3 1/2 mo and he took right to it. Dr. Yap told us at his 4 mo apt that he can have meals 3 times a day, eat veggies and fruits, and drink water from a sippy cup! That seems so early for me, but we decided to give some of it a try!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd4d8X7D3neFBQeTTu-DvuFt7slaIB1Jgv9gvJejY4YFod_aKD461qMiOJPlZBu-kFsofHi8v961J5QeM5mV8UISGAIMCOPOUt9UMFetIcttJMGh3CuFF8VEXcgdYoj2QHpHNylneFlZjo/s1600/IMG_8285.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd4d8X7D3neFBQeTTu-DvuFt7slaIB1Jgv9gvJejY4YFod_aKD461qMiOJPlZBu-kFsofHi8v961J5QeM5mV8UISGAIMCOPOUt9UMFetIcttJMGh3CuFF8VEXcgdYoj2QHpHNylneFlZjo/s400/IMG_8285.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719841587930805970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aMSL-OjNW6d1sAHiOkgkPGyWiiKhHTSUMRkuyAYLRuKsZBckHC30XEBbiywFvG0TzQM7KrdK5jkrHmNx4N-5NV0TFaxpQAu7B_zCUYyf6hsMTxMSAskRjStNmAjStWWner0KAt1CtaSV/s1600/IMG_8316.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aMSL-OjNW6d1sAHiOkgkPGyWiiKhHTSUMRkuyAYLRuKsZBckHC30XEBbiywFvG0TzQM7KrdK5jkrHmNx4N-5NV0TFaxpQAu7B_zCUYyf6hsMTxMSAskRjStNmAjStWWner0KAt1CtaSV/s400/IMG_8316.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719841580057150978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgokIAn66VKLpHYc3UsQvcZDVnSNxZJCQrUXIdwqskn3QlpjAu7h_jbUW7KeEnvoU6XKyNTs2is0RFgWxfZXuVcY0_PWeykx397eNkqn-MbLFQ0Jvrx17E56b_wVwNjE_Sly7XvSrgAHRBg/s1600/IMG_8320.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgokIAn66VKLpHYc3UsQvcZDVnSNxZJCQrUXIdwqskn3QlpjAu7h_jbUW7KeEnvoU6XKyNTs2is0RFgWxfZXuVcY0_PWeykx397eNkqn-MbLFQ0Jvrx17E56b_wVwNjE_Sly7XvSrgAHRBg/s400/IMG_8320.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719841569066843618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwt7JB-Yw5qYHJsHHsUR8j8Bv4cYzhG14Wnu0JmzwU8EkYLSVtRsJHb3G2T2gQy5KL3MXA7iwlTK0NNyVurgQAltAzS8KuFHcp43Pw2hgO9c9aOExznOaeVHg6YqwOZoWF062tnxuj1fdP/s1600/IMG_8311.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwt7JB-Yw5qYHJsHHsUR8j8Bv4cYzhG14Wnu0JmzwU8EkYLSVtRsJHb3G2T2gQy5KL3MXA7iwlTK0NNyVurgQAltAzS8KuFHcp43Pw2hgO9c9aOExznOaeVHg6YqwOZoWF062tnxuj1fdP/s400/IMG_8311.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719841564084693474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXMYgWLJ_hQA_qayJ0bMAazonknatixH_ZRDVVJ-2gboKJq4yCj9pqJe0cg6WWlxhk0Ua1DGyKTBL-IDfMFTjdHdGBf7ICqBOOnkd-4R35bbLX2c6xm2wHQKdZbflQIaYP2zWrhr5BTbf5/s1600/IMG_8309.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXMYgWLJ_hQA_qayJ0bMAazonknatixH_ZRDVVJ-2gboKJq4yCj9pqJe0cg6WWlxhk0Ua1DGyKTBL-IDfMFTjdHdGBf7ICqBOOnkd-4R35bbLX2c6xm2wHQKdZbflQIaYP2zWrhr5BTbf5/s400/IMG_8309.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719841557872269346" /></a>Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173994786701981847.post-16327886603599179012011-09-22T21:11:00.002-05:002011-09-22T21:24:22.925-05:00Caden Scott & UpdatesI know it has been a very long time since I have blogged and certain people don't like looking at the same post from last time over and over again. Since I have gone back to work, I have been incredibly crazy busy! I stay at school late most days. Come home nd do dinner, clean, type up lesson plans and grade papers for a couple hours, and try to do family time, while being 9 months pregnant and exhausted! <br /><br />I have had a TON to blog, but simply no time. We have been doing lots of nesting on the weekends. We're pretty much ready! Just need a few more items and clean/organize a few more things.<br /><br />Had an apt today. Caden is no longer breech!! Hoping he stays that way. I am dilated to a 1, and 50% effaced. About 3 1/2 weeks left! We are so excited and can't wait! I'm a little freaked out about how I'm going to handle 2 kids, but millions of people do it and they all figure it out. I know I can also do the same. Although I am convinced I won't ever get to sleep and will be spending the next several years in a zombie zone. <br /><br />Real quick...so blessed to have a job! It feels good to teach again. I am starting out the year very stressed, but it feels good to be back. I'm glad that I'm in 3rd grade because it is a grade I have taught before and am familiar with. Really trying to still "move in" and get organized, plus type up 3 months worth of lessons. I'm only a week ahead. I have lots to do!! I just never seem to have enough time to do anything! Although I have accomplished A LOT, there is just so much to do!<br /><br />Out new church, Faith Baptist in Iowa Park, is going great! Makenna has 5 little girls her age that she LOVES to play with! 4 of them are potty trained and wearing panties, so I'm encouraging Makk to be a follower! She absolutely loves it though. She asks us to go to church on non-church days. When we drop her in the nursery, she jumps down, runs to the gate, lets herself in, and we have to beg her to wave by and blow us a kiss. It definitely makes me feel at peace and comfortable that my baby girl loves the place, the people, and that the people love her! We are also making a lot of great connections and developing friendships. God is really blessing us right now! Lots of changes for out little family!<br /><br />My back is absolutely killing me! It seems it doesn't hurt when I have taken a bath this week, so I'm off to read a book for pleasure (what's that mean?!) and relax my back muscles. I'll try and upload some pictures when I get a chance.<br /><br />Jessica took some awesome belly shots. Can't wait to share them! There is a really sweet one of Makk hugging and cuddling Bubba Caden.

My placenta looks perfect! No more shelf shape or blood pools! Praise be to Jesus!<br /><br />He is weighing about 2 lbs 8 oz, that is in the 60%, and still a week ahead of schedule. So looks like I'm going to have a big baby!! That would also explain why I'm so much bigger this time around! <br /><br />My glucose test went well yesterday, without a hitch. I actually like the red sugary juice! I didn't even get close to fainting or anything like I did with Makk. Then I went to El Chico's and had an amazing lunch!! I will go back in 3 weeks at my 30th week, then every 2 weeks after that for 6 weeks, then it is every week until he comes! It is getting sooooo close!<br /><br />Here are some amazing pics of Caden. Makenna went with us and I think she really enjoyed it! She kept looking from my tummy to the screen saying "Bubba Caden in Mommy's tummy." It was so cute! She also had to hold my hand through most of the procedure. Caden is quite the tap-dancer. He kept doing a little jig with his feet. Maybe it's the Irish coming out in him! I think there's Irish somewhere...He is also breeched right now, but there is time for him to turn. This is what also happened with Makk, and she finally turned. I did some special exercises, don't know if they worked, but it can't hurt.

Paint was going to cost so much that I thought maybe I will just do all blue with a brown stripe. So I started to just paint the blue over what was a goldish, peachish color from the previous owners. Then Brady mentioned that our leftover paint from our living room actually matched Caden's bedding. So then I added the bottom tape for the stripe.

Also, completing the decor and wall hangings will be easy to do later. Can't wait for Caden to be here!<br /><br />My sonogram is tomorrow. We are taking Makenna and I am so excited about it! It is really important to me to include her in on the process so that she knows Caden also belongs to her. I don't want her to feel left out or pushed aside in any way. I've been talking this up for weeks about how we will see him on a tv, but will be like a camera looking in Mommy's tummy. Not sure how much she understands, but very excited all the same. I want to try and record her response tomorrow, but not sure if that will be allowed. Will send more updates tomorrow...if I have time.

Nothing huge, but could potentially be later. So I'm not worried about it. I'm excited to get to see Caden again!! I also have to do my glucose test. It will be very boring sitting there for an hour, so I will have to bring a good book!<br /><br />Caden's bedding came in today! Hip Hip Hooray!!!!! I lloooove it! I'm hoping to paint his room tomorrow.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD7_AmxTYED_1JVoAvlxCPGFr5qEbP1XIF671O7opu9U_StShGGwW1SWviAcox6YVkASaYJupbNpxkqDYrr8O6SNcgmguPLJ8hdbpAZZCSENRcMDUoSUW2Zg0p1aBzZgrba6PvdHeQmmS4/s1600/IMG_0615.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD7_AmxTYED_1JVoAvlxCPGFr5qEbP1XIF671O7opu9U_StShGGwW1SWviAcox6YVkASaYJupbNpxkqDYrr8O6SNcgmguPLJ8hdbpAZZCSENRcMDUoSUW2Zg0p1aBzZgrba6PvdHeQmmS4/s400/IMG_0615.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629303114036914802" /></a><br /><br />His comforter.

It is frustrating and we have tried every trick! Makk really likes Barbies now. So we told her that she can have one if she goes in the potty. After making herself toot on purpose to laugh at herself, a little poo came-TMI! We counted it and got Barbie last night. I thought it would encourage her to keep going. We looked at some more at Target today to show her what she could have if she would just go! This will get expensive, but we are using her left-over birthday cash. So this is her first Barbie that she picked out. It is a dog-walker Barbie. She has played nonstop with it!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDAlZJWtRN835T3Gt10uW2hGoDWsApo9NiZtVLGddXRJpOVB3RJHSC4BdGxyk6TlF79yCkcB45rFLWo5bTr28LLrvYndwLPyLZKWpFkniIJtUwydsmw8DMsY040ABpWOaUgUfkhkOTxfd_/s1600/IMG_0610.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDAlZJWtRN835T3Gt10uW2hGoDWsApo9NiZtVLGddXRJpOVB3RJHSC4BdGxyk6TlF79yCkcB45rFLWo5bTr28LLrvYndwLPyLZKWpFkniIJtUwydsmw8DMsY040ABpWOaUgUfkhkOTxfd_/s400/IMG_0610.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629302657921169986" /></a><br /><br />Got amazing deals today at Target! I take pics of some of my loot then never blog it. I am today! I got all this for $6.79. I saved $12.80 with coupons, plus the additional $5 or so because I bought items on sale.<br /><br />Aveeno baby lotion $2.04<br />2 cans of Aussie hairspray $1.62 for both<br />UP Brand panty-liners (I'll need them one day) $0.14<br />Sharpies- Free- again!<br />Glue sticks $0.20 a pkg<br />Flash cards $0.47<br />Dice $1 (I always need dice in my classroom.)<br /><br />What great deals!!!!<br /><br /><br />BTW------I HAVE A JOB!!!!!! I officially will teach 3rd grade in City View!!!!!!!!! Praise JESUS!!! I just couldn't give up. I had to continually trust Him all the past year and not worry, which is really hard to do! Spending time studying Romans has really helped me not only grow closer to Jesus, but to trust Him at all times and not freak out with worry. Scripture is very comforting and necessary for our lives. It is so easy to get caught up in worldly troubles, when all we need to do is trust God and rely on Him, and to do these things without expecting God to bless us with worldly treasures or security.<br /><br />"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths."<br /><br />"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."-Those desires may not turn out to be the same in the end. When you are delighting in the Lord, your desires may and often times will change to match up God's desire for your life! Some very important life lessons I have learned along the way through the help of many Godly mentors and teachers, and God Himself! <br /><br />Have a blessed day everyone!Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173994786701981847.post-19490157995715420822011-07-12T16:10:00.004-05:002011-07-14T14:25:18.034-05:00Jump for JOY!.......and that is exactly what KK and Collin did! They also did a lot of sliding for JOY too! We had a blast as usual. It amazes me how big KK is and how she can do all this big girl stuff.

Great job Mio for capturing it! It is difficult to say no to this pout, but I find it easier each day as we roll through the terrible two's!!<br /><br /><br />We had a nice and relaxing weekend. We spent Sunday swimming at GigGi and Pops. Then Monday we went to Meme and Papa's for a birthday dinner for Aunt Dee who turned 20! No more teen years for her! Makk really loved playing with Riley at Meme's. They played dress up which included lots of jewelry and 6 pairs of princess shoes, and barbies who lived in a very tall Barbie house. Makk loved playing, but I think Riley got a little wore out by Makk's nonstop chatter!! HA! For those of you who don't know, Riley is Makk's 4 year old cousin, so to her, Makk is kind of a baby. But Makk I think proved her wrong! <br /><br />We are very lucky to have such a large and wonderful extended family to celebrate holidays with!Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173994786701981847.post-66861908038970376042011-07-09T18:41:00.002-05:002011-07-09T18:46:57.560-05:00BLog Blog BlogI have a love/hate relationship with my blog. I love having it and love when I blog, but I hate the actual sitting down to do it. I get all these fabulous ideas, but never, or rarely, do them. What sets me back is uploading all the pictures. That is the most difficult and time consuming part. If I could do it from my phone, I would blog all the time!<br /><br />I have literally spent over 5 hours creating photo books for Makenna because today Walgreens has a special free book. So I have created two books, covering from right after she turned 1 (April 30) to December 31. My thinking was to go ahead and scrapbook the first year of her life since I printed out all the pics and bought a ton of stuff, then do digital all the other years. I love scrapbooks and the cute stickers and decor, but it gets very expensive and takes up a lot of time and space! I think I will be happy with photo books. We'll see in a couple weeks how they turn out!<br /><br />Caden's bedding has been ordered!! It has been shipped as of today. Can't wait to start painting his room!!Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173994786701981847.post-14319523582652487022011-06-15T12:51:00.004-05:002011-06-15T13:17:05.788-05:00Matt, the GreatI want to sincerely apologize to my good friend Matt Kennedy, who we call Huncle Matt (short for Honorary Uncle). We had a fabulous time this weekend not only with the Dodsons, but also Matt. I could have sworn that I included him in on my weekend blog, but I guess I left him off by mistake. I want to dedicate this entire blog post to Matt, the Great. I wish I would have had my camera with me so I could jave taken more pictures. All I had was my phone, so I didn't get very many, otherwise there would be a lot of pics from this weekend including Matt. Although I did get one of him. He was putting Makenna on his shoulders in the pool, but you an't even see his face or really a person under Makk. So Matt, please accept my humble apology as I dug though 3 years plus of pics to find ones that were more you, and not just a bunch of group shots. And there were some specific pictures of you and Makenna from when she was little, but i couldn't find them (tear). I really wanted to focus on the Great Matt Kennedy. Enjoy as you reminisce through the past. We can't wait for birthday weekend in a couple weeks. I will be sure to have my camera and I'm going to get as many pics as possible then create another huge blog that is all about you! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisUmWxJGYpPjOyIlYdYnwyV1ULCaDBLynSc9vfza256KTpbvD-S_IO0lRjgUpHR1ox_ri8xE7_JBeupgMzlVieAP5EZ4wUhSz5CYIDkToKBu-EJsqEe6k8Koe3uKr-ZV2s2WHkBrwUXvL4/s1600/IMG_2050.JPG"><img style="display:block;

At this part, she and Deborah were hanging out on it. It was a really fun, large float. There were some closed holes in the middle for drinks and a larger one for a mini cooler or something. It was just big enough for Makk to sit in it and "wash her feet, hands, legs, Mommy's legs," etc. She had a blast! She also was doing very well at swimming. She was doing lots of good kicing, blowing bubbles, going under water, and being thrown really really high by Daddy!Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173994786701981847.post-86726495322050358752011-06-13T14:32:00.004-05:002011-06-13T14:58:52.108-05:00Great CVC Deals!I've been trying to blog my coupon shopping deals but haven't been very good. I begin using the products before I take a pic. Yesterday I went to CVS and made a mistake. First of all I got a free $9 razor! It was on sale for $8, you get $4 RR and I had a $4 coupon. ow I had help from the Krazy Coupon Lady with this stuff. Well be careful if it says one per household. If it does, then you CANNOT get the extra RR, so I had to immediately return the 2nd one, which they put on a gift card. Same thing with my Cetaphil face wash. On sale for $8.29, you get $2 RR, and I had a $2 mfc coupon. So I got the first one for $4.29! Because of my goof with the one per household, I got the 2nd Cetaphil for only $6.29, which is still a good deal. I have to use that face wash being pregnant according to my OBGYN.<br /><br />Below is what I got today at CVS at a different location.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq5-NUjB0s56nwfZarAntc8JorUOw9lw-WY_LkLTk99LYLjnhbBD_0WWD9-SITxkVImzvRAKTc_wV8gNyOXnpqKPVw3Go887qp3pVvQFoqFbl3FPh4ED5pil8y6y-SeFHKijFhisBPaxre/s1600/IMG_0449.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq5-NUjB0s56nwfZarAntc8JorUOw9lw-WY_LkLTk99LYLjnhbBD_0WWD9-SITxkVImzvRAKTc_wV8gNyOXnpqKPVw3Go887qp3pVvQFoqFbl3FPh4ED5pil8y6y-SeFHKijFhisBPaxre/s400/IMG_0449.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617789699041763138" /></a><br /><br />A few weeks ago there was a great deal on these Suave products. Now I don't ever use Suave, but if I can get it dirt cheap, I most certainly will! The wash was on sale for $2 each, and the deodorant for $1. Plus if you spend $10 in Suave products, you get $3 RR back. Combine that with 2 BYG1 free body wash, and 2 $0.50 off deodorant, you end up paying $3.08, and get $3.00 back in RR. I actually spend $2.26 and got back $3 (I had some change left on a gift card from my mistake yesterday), so I made money!<br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF70OrEYTpjxInhTNeCyGjWrNlPlfyaJr8jxhdQmeAsTBZdJYFENn4NXUv8LYwN__IdVdCWCvsbrzqg7LH5gI490d4rkcLU-riGQfF8OFCCMzDwNgRelHlH6UZKMB28OGaLsei6NqNwM9-/s1600/IMG_0450.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF70OrEYTpjxInhTNeCyGjWrNlPlfyaJr8jxhdQmeAsTBZdJYFENn4NXUv8LYwN__IdVdCWCvsbrzqg7LH5gI490d4rkcLU-riGQfF8OFCCMzDwNgRelHlH6UZKMB28OGaLsei6NqNwM9-/s400/IMG_0450.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617789688509184242" /></a><br /><br />I had another raincheck for these free Preparation wipes from a few weeks ago. On sale for $3.99, and you get $3.99 in RR, so FREE! Can't turn that down! There is also a deal with Tic Tacs where you buy 2 and get a third for 1 cent. Combine that deal with 3 $0.75 off 1 Tic Tac and they cost I think 4 cents a piece (I think that is what the Krazy Coupon Lady said). I used my RR from my previous purhase, so my total was 26 cents! And I received $4 in RR, so I made money!! That is an awesome deal! You can see there is a caramel. The rule is you can't have more coupons/RR than products, so there are these yummy caramels for 33 cents at the register to even it out.<br /><br />So I have learned a lot of rules at CVC: pay attention when it says "limit 1 per household". This doesn't mean per transaction, it recognizes you when you scan your Reward Card. CVS does do Rainchecks, so get them!! I actually need to get two this week myself. There is a chance to buy free Motrin and Bayer asperin, but both locations were sold out. You can't have more coupons/RR than products. You may have to go to more than one location. It never hurts to ask them when their truck days are if your product is sold out. <br /><br />Also very important, follow the Krazy Coupon Lady and couponbomb.blogspot.com. I actually went to school with Emily who is the Coupon Bomb, and she inspires me! There is also the DFW Coupon Mom that I sometimes look at. It's hard to figure it out on your own! 1 more good tip, get lots of inserts from the newspapers! I get them from several family members, Thank you GiGI, Grandmom, and Papa! I also go to several websites to print coupons off, like Target, Bettie Crocker, Coupons.com, and lots of others, including the product I want website. KCL will give you lots of links to find internet coupons.<br /><br />Now that I have rambled on and on and on, I will leave you. I hope this all makes sense! It's helping us a lot and it is a lot of fun! Also, aren't you proud that I blogged 3 times today?! A new record for me! I still have a lot to blog but I will save that for later this week. I am about to get one of my tutees???? A student I tutor, I guess is called a tutee? Maybe I need to be tutored on terminology! So long friends and family!<br /><br />PS I forgot to mention that I saved over $20 today! I spent less than $3 for over $20 worth of products!! And got $3 back in RR left over for my next purchase!!Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173994786701981847.post-52039600215500429632011-06-13T14:24:00.006-05:002011-06-13T14:31:59.583-05:00Gadgets and Gizmos AplentyHere are some random pics of Makk of her recent adventures.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS59OaOgl4hehgDE9wRpK11kUbVWbIa0qA0G4zJjgH2sl5zrsfv2FKBK7GpRS7A8inD5kw_ejoCy1Rzi0QpQZo8Qk1tQ01U3hT1Pq_9yWDGebJbE3H3HJCT4n_j2pStDSU1RQJA7203StH/s1600/IMG_0304.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS59OaOgl4hehgDE9wRpK11kUbVWbIa0qA0G4zJjgH2sl5zrsfv2FKBK7GpRS7A8inD5kw_ejoCy1Rzi0QpQZo8Qk1tQ01U3hT1Pq_9yWDGebJbE3H3HJCT4n_j2pStDSU1RQJA7203StH/s400/IMG_0304.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617788212933597746" /></a><br /><br />This is her sweet dress with matching American Girl doll that she had gotten for Christmas.

He had a Finding Nemo party which of course involved swimming. KK had a blast!!! She loved playing with the "big kids," who were between 4 and 6ish. The little girls really loved KK and helping her in the pool. I was very impressed how she continually would climb in and out of the pool, go up and down the slide without any help. We had to trick her out of the pool in order to eat dinner, and to leave to go home to bed. She had the best time!! Of course I missed many great photo ops. I was too scared to have my phone by the pool, and I forgot my camera. Every time she came down the slide, she had the biggest smile on her face and was laughing, but she was always turned away from my phone when I tried to snap a shot.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicUkXqnW0L0jp9kXu_O-gOTOeGXwjxHGP0lCkIW-hlA7zcmJU2ZYq1VpRTIUrgxeTngEjN274wcA_bJRrDZ7xQIXhw-TKiCWm1e6RM2W4FhRofUmzWvlDyvBFT4113t9crTqRIHwAMCn3g/s1600/IMG_0377.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicUkXqnW0L0jp9kXu_O-gOTOeGXwjxHGP0lCkIW-hlA7zcmJU2ZYq1VpRTIUrgxeTngEjN274wcA_bJRrDZ7xQIXhw-TKiCWm1e6RM2W4FhRofUmzWvlDyvBFT4113t9crTqRIHwAMCn3g/s400/IMG_0377.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617786136434825362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NCIzgDvjw0mlb5dhi5tftO3ELQAgBMwoPuX6I9c6cqh5cbDU22Ip1CSzBJH2g_6vVlcPyN4B9MMYi2ZkwFoEl1gfoG92mvRNaYoEukodmPqKyhU8xwOsDkl6u4fJ7bwSdMEtkuVpUMmZ/s1600/IMG_0388.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8NCIzgDvjw0mlb5dhi5tftO3ELQAgBMwoPuX6I9c6cqh5cbDU22Ip1CSzBJH2g_6vVlcPyN4B9MMYi2ZkwFoEl1gfoG92mvRNaYoEukodmPqKyhU8xwOsDkl6u4fJ7bwSdMEtkuVpUMmZ/s400/IMG_0388.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617786131314886834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTgAI159FRRU0eRezAnzUbhyphenhyphen-ip32PDSVGDN5IZG6JzEphrXSSlFHSwWBWMxkWhJQ5XxwQWap30nFMAAqe6IAwDOArkEsOLct6CU-Mi6qSCs69RM91nDsq4OyZH6DZTiWTTIVU0ZBThK7/s1600/IMG_0387.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZTgAI159FRRU0eRezAnzUbhyphenhyphen-ip32PDSVGDN5IZG6JzEphrXSSlFHSwWBWMxkWhJQ5XxwQWap30nFMAAqe6IAwDOArkEsOLct6CU-Mi6qSCs69RM91nDsq4OyZH6DZTiWTTIVU0ZBThK7/s400/IMG_0387.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617786125443820146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgvntwoPYHyhA3RRB98MgqElhVMspzvduMPCLiU8n2Xo6HojJpPuFWkFWhmBPGqS46VoogTeCkaWlAllnLswr7Qu9gCJdOUALxhLODpyBhiEWCL6lxT_k8vPUPPwXOPOYvdd2tVeworrJ/s1600/IMG_0379.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgvntwoPYHyhA3RRB98MgqElhVMspzvduMPCLiU8n2Xo6HojJpPuFWkFWhmBPGqS46VoogTeCkaWlAllnLswr7Qu9gCJdOUALxhLODpyBhiEWCL6lxT_k8vPUPPwXOPOYvdd2tVeworrJ/s400/IMG_0379.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617786115060706386" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK-FWPKTika5wSzMZktuEl7PK5FM3I-uG6VKYrC50svDpB-SJKrrCD2UZ68Dx2mQpTqrbOmmaC0XQYlQBKkT3RPjJ6o6wRRSV1zvKp4q7oc3AR3yT5BGclzmNGJoJL3T6QsUKB8D2xECQF/s1600/IMG_0381.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK-FWPKTika5wSzMZktuEl7PK5FM3I-uG6VKYrC50svDpB-SJKrrCD2UZ68Dx2mQpTqrbOmmaC0XQYlQBKkT3RPjJ6o6wRRSV1zvKp4q7oc3AR3yT5BGclzmNGJoJL3T6QsUKB8D2xECQF/s400/IMG_0381.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617786107459355298" /></a>Vanessa Collierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11946804708745980112noreply@blogger.com0
