My First Post!!!

Okay, so I first off have to thank Nichol for leading me to blogging. If you know me at all you know I am never short of things to talk about so this is a great way for lots of people to hear me (or at least lets me think that way).

Secondly, I have to give you all a fair warning. I usually don't type fast enough for my brain and I am not good at grammar (thanks De) so be prepared for lots of mistakes. Thank God that He knows we are not perfect. I prove it every day!

Thirdly, I would love to hear your comments, maybe even ideas of what I can blog about.

Okay, so i was contemplating on what to write about because like I said, I could go on for forever about anything, but what better thing on Mother's Day to talk about then my amazing boys. Usually my 'boys' includes the hubby but today I want to focus on Johnathan and Zackary. If you do not know this by now, my world revolves around my family and my 2 boys are the main focus.

Johnathan is the oldest at 8 years old and is in 2nd grade. He started off life at 2 lbs. 8 oz and has been growing ever since. He is an avid reader (Adam and I don't know where that came from), loves to play sports, can run for days on end and is the best big brother any person could ever ask for! He is so compassionate and worries about everyone else way before himself. He's newest habit is running and has run in 2 5K's. His first time was 28:42 and his second was 27:39, so he is improving and has another race this Sunday. I can already see God's gifts of children's ministry and evangelism. He made sure to say the sinners prayer with his (then 3 year old) brother, just in case anything happened 'even though Zackary didn't know, he would go to heaven!' I can remember doing finals in high school (yes I had him on my 17th birthday) with him sitting on my lap at the computer. Life wasn't always easy at that point in time, but he has always been one of my best friends. He makes me laugh all the time and it's kind of scary how much his attitude is like mine. I guess I better start paying attention. He is also amazing at school and keeps almost perfect grades while making sure to be friends with everyone and help them out in any situation.

Okay, I know, blogs are suppose to be short so I will move on to my second son Zackary. He is now 4 years old and quite the fire cracker. He loves to smile and laugh and do anything his brother is doing, including going to school. He started out this world even smaller than his brother at 1 lb. 12 oz. He had a harder time coming out of the NICU but we were so happy to have him home once he was finished. He is the strongest person I know. What other person can go through 5 surgeries in less than 1 1/2 years (on his hip)and still have a huge smile on his face and be walking in no time! God has truly blessed him with strength, healing and wisdom beyond his years. He loves helping anyone do anything. He can do laundry with the best of them and can plant a killer garden! He will be starting preschool next year and I don't know what I am going to do with another one of best friends being gone everyday!

I am so blessed that I have been able to stay home and spend so much time with these 2 amazing miracle children of mine. I love them with all of my heart and they truly made this a wonderful Mother's Day by all their hugs, kisses, pictures and love. God bless the little children in this world, because I know he has blessed me with mine.
