Patiance

A virtue that I have really been trying to conquer lately is patience. I was once told never to pray for patiance becasue then God would give you a reason to practice, instead pray for understanding! :) Now I don't know if that person was just kidding around, or was a little bit serious. But whatever word, I am stuggeling with it lately. Patiance with Cheyenne is my number one problem right now. She is so strong willed and stubborn (huh wonder where she gets that!! ) everyday it is a new challange, to either get her to eat, bathe, sleep, or simply explain to her we can't play outside 'cause there is a thunderstorm!! Second thing I need patiance with is Dave...he works so much and when he comes home just wants to crash, but I just want him to help me out around the house, and be around more during these last week(s) of pregnancy to help me out a little. And don't get me wrong he does do somethings, which I need to be more thankful for, but other times I just need to have 'understanding' :) and third I need to have patiance with this baby! oh man, come on now!!! I went to the doc today and he said that I am 1 cm dialated and that I could go into labor at any time, but most likely wounldn't be this week. (sigh) more patiance. Ok this was a pretty depressing blog, I might now even post it - sorry - I really am doing good, beside these three little things that are bugging me right now - so don't worry, just keep us in your prayers the next week or so! thnks!!

Way to Go!!

So as most of you know I have been coaching high school track for the past two years, and this year I was put in charge of all the girl throwers. Well needless to say I didn't know much about throwing before this season started, and I still have a lot to learn, but I had some very excited encouragment last night. One of my freshmen throwers started off the season throwing about oh 31 feet, which is pretty good, but to get to state you have to throw 35 feet. Anyway the head coach gave me the challange to get her to go to state this year. Well last night she threw 36 feet!!! I was so excited for her! Now it wasn't a state qualifing meet which means that she will have to do it again at sectionals, which is in two weeks...but I was so excited for her, and not to sound arrogant or anything, but it made me feel like I actually did something right! So help me keep cheering her on, and hopefully she will make it to state! I will keep u updated!!!

Embarrassment!!!

So this weekend Dave and Cheyenne went to Texas to visit Grandma and to also go to a youth conferance, and I stayed home for a weekend of relaxation! Well everything on my side started off pretty well I enjoyed some time with friends, and cleaned the house, and took some naps. Then Friday night I went to my track meet in the rain. Things started getting interesting then. I started feeling really sick and was having light contractions at the meet, so I decided to leave early with some parents. Well I really freaked everyone out, but I turned out to be fine, I just needed to lie down and get off my feet. So Saturday I had a lot of concerned phone calls makeing sure I was okay, which was really sweet of everyone. So then on Sunday I was feeling bette so I decided to go to church. Well I was sitting there getting really really hot, and not feeling good at all, and I wanted to leave and go lie down again, but I didn't want everyone looking at me, so I decided I would stick it out till the end of the service.bad idea!! During the offering, I totally passed out!! An EMT and a firefighter from our church rushed over to help me, and I was given oxygen and a whole bunch of drama in the middle of church!! I was so embarrassed!!! So after church I went to the hospital to get checked out, and everything is fine, they don't really know why I passed out, but probably I didn't have enought to eat or drink. So they told me just to go home and take it easy, and eat and drink alot! So yeah it was a pretty eventful weekend, and Dave was gone the whole time, but he is back nw, and we are just counting down the days!!!

Nap Time

So ever since Cheyenne has been sleeping in a big girl bed, she has had a hard time taking naps. So I have started just leaving her in her room for an hour and a half, and if she sleep great, but if she doesn't, at least I get a little break! Well yesterday when nap time rolled around, she didn't seem at all tired, but I put her in her room anyway. Well I heard a lot of playing and talking with her stuffed animals..slowly she quieted down and I thought she must of gone to sleep..well I was right, but when I went to wake her up to go to daycare, this is what I found.

She fell asleep reading her books on the floot...it was so fuuny, and so cute I just couldn't resist taking her pics, although she was pretty mad that I woke her up! poor baby!

Crazy Week

Well to start off , my new years resolution to take more pictures is not going very well!! Everytime I go to take some cute pics my battery is always dead, or my memory This week has been pretty good. My mom came and visited which was really nice. She helped me get a lot done for the new baby, and just helped out like mothers do. We didnt' so anything really fun, but I don't think she cared, I think she just wanted to babysit cheyenne the whole time she was here..which is pretty much what she did! :) Today has been an interesting day. Someone at the high school found a note written on the wall that something was gonna happen today during school, so everyone got sent home at 10:30, So track got cancelled, and I have the whole afternoon off! yeah for me!!! It has just been nuts! We were suppose to have three track meets this week and they all got cancelled or postponed! Is it ever gonna be spring???

Saturday!! :)

I love Saturdays! I have the whole day to d whatever I want, and even though I rarely ever do anything exciting, it is great to have a day where I can have to option! Today Dave is gone all day at a meeting out of town, and so a friend is coming over in a little while to help me clean and go through some baby stuff. Now I know that doesn't sound like a fun filled day, but I am looking forward to it. And since it is really nice out and our ice-cream shop is open again, I think we will walk and get some ice-cream when we are done (or just skip cleaning all together, and just get ice-cream!! That's all that is going on around here. Cheyenne is doing AWESOME with her new bed and room, so goes to bed like a champ, and sleeps all night without getting up. We did put a gate up in front of her door so that she can't wander the house if she does wake up before us....one of the smartest things I have done I think! :) That's our life todya, hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Pictures, and a little bragging

So I just have to gush for about a minute about how great Dave was this morning. I woke up not feeling well at all. I pushed myself too hard at work yesterday, and had a really bad upset stomach. NEway, Cheyenne was in one of her lovely moods, where she was just crying and throwing stuff and just being nasty b/c mean old mom wouldn't let her watch tv. So Dave got up and decided to take her to work with him today! :) She wanted to go bye bye when he was leaving, and so he just took her! Now I have the house to myself!!! Granted I am going to coffee break (no jokes Joy) in a half an hour, and taking her home afterwards, but still...he was so sweet!!! Bonus points for Dave this morning.
Okay and here are some pictures of Cheyenne's new bedroom, I know some of you were asking for them, so here they are!!!
