LOLOLOLOL< you are so lucky to have these days. Proud, you have a great family, it is good that he pooped right? It is good to kick your husband every once in a while and it is great that it work out with the playpen. He will be so big before you know it. Those are definitely "Love is all around you" things to share. Thanks...

Hello Start,

You are right I am lucky to have Joe and Joshua as my family, I never want to change that. . He is growing fast a lot of people think that he is one years old when he was 8 months. He just turn 9 months today, June 29.
Thank you start it is nice to share things with you and others.

Proud

Happy nine months to Joshua. What a beautiful time. I really love that age. It is so nice that you get so much time together as a family. You are all truly blessed to have that. Yes, they do get big before they know it. You will look back a year from now and be like, where did the time go?? Kiss that beautiful munchkin for me, I really love his cheeks. What a doll. How many do you think you will have?? I used to want six but after two I became a chicken to have more. I think start has it right, she has four and she has created such a legacy for her family. Her husband must beam with pride when he sees what they have made!! LOVE to all this morning, love to all!!

Joshua has the 4 top teeth coming in all at once now.

Well I would love to have 4 children. At the same time after Joshua I think maybe 2 would be enough. You never know though. Love being a father. It also depends on everybodies health.

Well love to you all.

Joe

I couldn't believe that Joshua has his four top teeth already. One teeth is taking forever to come down and the other ones are coming in faster. I just hope he won't get my teeth. I would love to have four children, I am not sure if we are going to have that many. On my side of the family has two differenet kinds of twins, I just don't know them too much. So we might have a set of twins next time we try having another baby. Before I was thinking to adopt a child and I still am. First I would like to have my own children.

Proud

Pretty soon Joshua will be getting hair under his armpits... Sheesh, I miss those days, or do I?? Yes I do but love these days too. I am just nutty when babies are around me, I am a babylover for sure...

It would be nice if sometime in the future we could get all our babies together.

Awww Joe, it sure would. Hey have you ever heard of the Vineyard "come as you are" church?

Come as you are church? No, can't say that I have.

A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing! Quoted from George Bernard Shaw. (whoever that is)

Very nice quote, I like that.

I also checked on Joshua he is sleeping now but he is sleeping weird. New way. Instead of sleeping on his side. He is sleeping on his stomach his head up against the bars of the crib and his a@@ sticking up in the air.

Sounds so grown up LOLOLOLOL!! What a sweety. I really do miss my babies being babies.

Hi,
I am so glad I found this thread. I really needed to hear Like-minded people sharing same journey. What is the background/meaning of your name. From what I have read, so far, you Must have had an incedible epiphamy. How wonderful. You sound like a friend I would love to have nearby :)

My favorite sayings:

To Thine Self Be True... W. Shakesphere (almost sure).. Because if I am not honest with myself in any situation, the events that follow, will go down the wrong path.

How important is it?. when in a conflict/discussion over a situation that is going, obviously NO WHERE, Or a decision I have to make -i ask myself this question and it gives me 2 Choices... 1) It is worth the fight-and fight until I win or 2) it isn't worth my time dealing with someone or something that is NOT important to me and walk away... I usually choose door #2.
Anyone who really understood who I was, would not be so adamant of WINNING but rather interested in entertaining the idea that there may be more than one way of looking at things.

That saying goes hand in hand with "Do i want to be right? Or do i want to be happy? I tend to go with the HAppy state. LIfe is too short to BS around, especially with close minded thinkers and unwilling to see other aspects to life.
Living in my life was painful and dark for a long time until i found out there was hope for a better way. I have learned so much and grown myself, I continue to strive for a deeper Spiritual connection with God. He is the only one, when the going gets rought, that will show me that light-when i ask- God answers prayers-He does. But it took me such a long to "get that notion"... I still forget. I am NOT religious at all, I believe in faith, divine intervention.

I love life and people with kind and good hearts. I try not to deal with people who are all about themselves, and false.

God watches our Hearts not our actions.. It is all about Motive and Intention. God loves us and is NOT out to punish us, but steer us towards the LOVE, the right thing, the good things. This is what I feel to be true for me.

Today I did not have breakfast but usually do. LOVE my morning coffee mmmm with some hot chocolate in it.

My husband brings that to me on the weekends, ymmy.. and a Smile. Life is good.

He is great. I am blessed to have him. First time married -2 1/2 yrs happy, 3 kids I do not have :( [ too young and too naïve,] 2 step children girls 12 and 4- They came with the marriage, 2 mothers that came with the girls.

Awww Mango, nice to meet you. Thanks for sharing. This is a great place to come if you ever just have a thought and want to share it. It can be deep or shallow. Like today I was cleaning the house and as soon as everyone came home from the day, it was messy again and I want to scream. But like I always say... Love is all around you! I am cool with that, I can always clean tomorrow too!

Mango,

Hope you stick around with the bunch of us.

It was a quiet day today except the baby is a bit cranky with all four teeth coming at once.

Joshua is always happy especially when he is grabbing my ears. He is facsinated with my ears.

Well, hope everybody here has awsome holidays. Bye for now.

Joe

Joe, how are you doing? I couldn't keep up with the "ladies" today, sheesh, where have I been the last ten years?

Lol, I am doing all right and yourself? Lots of clucking lol. I am sure it was to hard to keep up.

Proud is going to get on later, lol.

We are spending lots of quality time together. It is nice having the time off work.

Are you doing anything special for July 4th as a family?

We did not want to take Joshua to the fireworks, too late and probably scary at this age.

Maybe in another year or two. It will be exciting going as a family. Seeing the excitement.

I am good just finally eating and getting lunch cleaned up. I got to go now. Hugs to you and the fam...

Oh good, I was wondering where she was... Joshua should at least get the chnce, you never know if they will be scary unless you take him first! Give it a go... Happy fourth...

Thanks Joe, I really need to go!! Sheesh you guys are addicting. Hugs, tell the fam I say hi!

I said hi to the family. Proud is busy feeding Joshua lol.

You really need to go, it is addicting isn't it. It is hard for me to get away sometimes.

I also want to do my part in helping others. That is the reason why I have been on different sites for all these years is to help people out. Using my heart, mind and spirit also being understanding and using my experiences to help others through their personal experiences.

Well I just wanted to rant and rave about things. I tend to go on and on sometimes lol.

Have a wonderful celebration with your family.

Say hi to your whole family from us. Joe

Aww, I guess I could get used to the ranting as long as there are raves as well. LOL! It is important to see more good than anything else or we all are doomed!

Okay I am ranting again, hope you do not mind lol.

No more ranting.

Lol

I am done ranting and only going to do raving. Yeah.

Edit :::::::::::::::: this is a celebration for all of my american family. All my fathers side of the family are all still living in united states and are americans. Guess you could say i am part american. Love you all here, no matter where your from. Lol

Hay start,

I have been so busy with the baby. I sometimes get so tired at the end of the day. Not today though. It is all worth every moment. I saw the video Joe put on the post he is silly. He loves to make people laugh. He is such a wonderful man. He worries sometimes and the same goes with me, I used to worry way too much. Joe has helped me to get out of it.

Joshua has got hurt a couple of times while crawling. I know it is going to happen but I do not like seeing the baby get hurt. But its part of learning to crawl and walk.

Have a goodnight.

Proud.

Proud, you are so cute. You are going to worry worry worry till you second, third and fourth child. The first well, we said we would never spank him, yell at him, (I cursed at him yesterday for no reason) he is 13 now, our second was a huge handflul, she is 10 and still is a handful. Our third, well he is five and has had a broken arm, eaten more worms than I can tell, had snot hanging almost to the floor, and well little maxy just turned four and he likes to say butt crack. There is nothing to worry about honey... Awww crap things come whether you want them to or not, it isn't the situation, it is how you handle it! (don't curse at your 13 year old no matter how snotty he was) let your babes eat worms if they want and tell them to dream big!! Look out Mama he's going to walk in a few months! Love is definitely here!

As for you Joe, I am double posting but I hope they let me slide, I just got goose bumps and tears in my eyes with the National Anthem! Thanks, I loved it to the end!

Start, I figured you would appreciate the anthem a lot more then I am Canadian comercial lol.

Yes, it is defiantly important to be proud of your country.

I am very proud. My husband made me that way. I am thankful for that. My young kids always thank our service men and women, I do too. Our 13 year old is just too shy to do it. I have so many feeling when it come to our country Joe, good and bad... Hugs to you and the family, I am going to get started on the celebration!

Enjoy all the festivities. Party hard, lol.

I am not a partier, but everyone else is so I will hold down the fort! Enjoy your day!

That is why I did the lol, I know your not a partier.

Partier in the sense of eating good food and keeping cool and watching the fireworks. (; (; (;

Ok OK OK, I will have fun...

I felt the love all around me yesterday, it was a really good day, best ever in a loong time. I thought of you. I hope your day was fun and you enjoyed the 4th with your family and friends. I am off to my daughter's nationals tomorrow. I hope you get on before then. Hope everyone else had a great day!! Peace and Happiness everybody!

HI Shattered, I am glad that you had a wonderful day yesterday with independent day celebrations. I had it on July first, Cananda day. I was just relaxing at home. When Joshua gets older we are going to bring him out on Canada's day. I have not done that for a long time. Have a good day at your daughter's nationals tomorrow. Start hope you had very good celebration as well. Hope you all have a peaceful and happy day. (; Peace to you all.

Proud

Well, I decided to let loose last night and OMGosh, I guess every year or so I need to reming myself NOT to do that... Ha! Good times, a little crazy with the fireworks and 8 kids, it all workedout though. Lot's of brown bodies today, it was 98 degrees yesterday, thank goodness for the pool. My husband was tested to his limits and showed complete strength and honor last night. I just needed to say that, I won't go into the details but that is who he is, I love him for that. I am just plain ole tired.

I am tired with a capital T!! I am glad to hear you let loose, it was well deserved. Sounds like it wsa hot hot hot!! Did you get nice and brown too?? I can't barely keep my eyes open today! Proud, thanks for the kind thoughts, Happy belated Independence Day to you and yours in Canada< I guess it took me awhile to figure that out, DUH! WEll how's everyone doing now? Start I hope you laid off the cleaning today. How's the munchkins? Proud, How's baby boy Joshua doing?

Hey you, HI!

That is great that you let yourself loose sometimes. You should not worry about it. That is great that everything worked out. I did not go out today yet. Joe says it is hot out. If we stay outside Joe gets brown or brunt and me I get burnt in some parts of my body or nothing at all. I think that's weird because both sides of my family is from South America. I say to Joe that's not fair lol. And then he laughs at me ;(.

Joshua was so quiet in bed so we did not even know how long he was up for. Lol

We are going out soon. Have a happy day. Hee Hee

Proud

Start Whatsup??
