Why am I so Weepy?

The other day a friend of mine got her hair cut by a lady I sing with in the choir. Her description of me was "weepy". The sad thing is I have been wrestling with this for the last month. What is my deal? I mean come on! I cry almost every Sunday when I sing in the choir, when we pray in church or during a meeting and a lot of times when Doug Holck is telling a story. I am weepy!!! Is it bad? Is it annoying? Can I make it go away? Do I want it to go away? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know? Guess I'll go sit in the corner and cry about it...lol jk not really! But I am weepy! Even my husband has started using my name instead of saying crying, he thinks he's funny. :) He is!

Hylarics

Hylarics: Evan's word for lyrics

He was a Buffalo Solider ja
Came a from a raska
He came from Mexico
He was a buffalo weirdo
Always on times
He was going to Mexico
Always there for a thousand days

Random

This morning Evan decided he needed to wear his alien hat. (And wore it inside Target!)

He went to work with me, along with his backpack full of legos, 2 movies and a lunch bag full of food (which he ate almost all of!) He was great in my office.

We go to Daddy's office and he's bouncing off the walls.

We head home and he puts his alien hat back on and is out in 2 minutes.

I wake him up for dinner, he tells me not to touch him. I tell him Daddy and Casey are here. He shoots up, out of the bed and he's off!

We have dinner, ran out of regular spaghetti noodles so we have twisted spaghetti with meatballs.

After dinner we watch Fantastic Mr. Fox. If you haven't seen it, it is the most random movie I have ever seen.

The perfect ending to my random day!

A grateful heart

This is a thank you note from the 4th grade classes at FCS. Both teacher, Mr. Weimer and Mrs. Krause had each of their kids sign it for Bryan. He leads worship on Friday. This is his 2nd year and he loves it. It has been a blessing for everyone in our family. A few times Evan has been able to go and watch.

Thank you 4th grade for giving my husband the oppurtunity to worship the Lord with people he loves! He truly enjoyed it!

We are grateful for your love and prayers!

Praying for a friend.

Tonight before Evan went to bed I reminded him he needed to pray for his schoolmate Max. This was his prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father I'm praying for my friend Max.
Help him to get better, help him to be happy and not sick.
If he dies, help him to be happy with Muffin (GG's dog), Mia's sister (Madison), and Auntie's dog (Trek).
We want him to get better and be happy.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen!

with Special Guest star JARROD MARKARIAN

So we are blessed to be loved by a wonderful family, the Markarian's. Jarrod (Matt and Vanessa's son, who is going to be 11 in a few weeks) gave my mom a laptop! I know right, who does this? A kid with great parents and a heart of gold! My mom had a laptop, well kinda, it was given to me last year and well that person asked for it back last week. When I told my beloved friend (Vanessa) how irritaed I was, she simply listened (as she always does!) A few days later, she let me in on a little secret, Jarrod was going to bless my mom with his laptop! I have to admit, the tears welled up in my eyes (I've been known to be a bit "weepy" but that's another blog at another time). Well today Jacob (our computer guru at church) cleaned off the "borrowed"one and transfered my moms stuff to the new one. I was there when Jarrod presented it to her and I can simply say she was in shock. She told me about an hour later that she "can't stop crying, what a blessing they are!! Mia wants to know what's wrong...tears of joy!!" Mia, "I like those kind!" Me too Mia.
Mom, you deserve it. I have watched God bless your socks off. Everytime something that looks like a bad thing happens to you, God turns it around and you ALWAYS glorify Him, just as he wants you to!
Jarrod, may God bless you for your loving, giving and genuine heart. You are such a special young man and I am pleased to know you. I can only pray Evan grows to be the kind of young man you are turning out to be.
Matt and Vanessa, you got a great kid! I love all three of you. You ALL have done so much for me and my family!
God is great!!

Steeeeeeeve

If you haven't seen Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, you need too!

Today was our last day a Mommy and Daddy helpers. Bryan has been dubbed Steeeeeve. He was at a table one afternoon when he did the mustache thing to Hayden. It was over from there! They have called him Steeeeve ever since. And they always try to get his non existence mustache.

One day he even got a talking to by Mrs. Witters. BUSTED!!!!

Since today was the last day I felt I couldn't let the year end

without the infamous Steeeeve and mustache picture!

We both enjoyed working with the Witter's Critters but I think Bryan (Steeeeve) liked it more.

Back Seat Driver

So Evan who is 6 is the ultimate back seat driver.

He tells me which lane I need to be in. What the speed limit is and what speed I'm going. I am not allowed to speed because he is sure to tell me I am breaking the law. This morning he let me know when I needed to turn. Oh Evan, the joy you bring me. 10 years my sweet boy and you will have your chance behind the wheel.

I'm the DJ he's the rapper

Two peas in a pod here! Singing Brave Saint Saturn Shadown Of Def on the way to and from church as well as at our picnic today. Here are some of the lyrics:

I'm the DJ he's the rapper,And the homeboys try to step,I'm the DJ he's the rapper,In the valley of the shadow of def.Yo, homeboys come and homeboys go,But I still kick the Latin Lingo,Mi Espanol es no bui bueno.I'm stone cold rhymin and spinnin on the wax,I give the old ladies heart attacks,cause I'm fresh and dope and I'm dissin wac MCs.I've got all my teeth capped,Chains to show my wealth,And I check myself,Before I wreck myself.

Love my guys! And love how they are so much alike!
