Knock Knock

Knock Knock!

Please come in, I hear from inside the little cottage!

I just smile and my heart is beyond full of joy, when I hear my girls say, come on in Mommy, I'm making dinner, or taking care of the baby!! This would be while they are busy playing in their (new to them) play house!








So they are busy at work, oops I mean playing in their precious house! As I sit back and watch them mock what they see at home, it makes me proud that they have learned at such an early age, that we serve an awesome God! I love to hear the two of them just talking about what God says, even if it is it is several scriptures or messages arranged together! It is still God's word! But more importantly, it really as me thinking about how two sweet innocent children are spreading the light of Christ! And it's all because Daddy and I made a decision to serve our Lord, early on, therefore they have only been taught this way.
"As For Me and My House We Will Serve the Lord" ~ Joshua 24:15


Here's a recent conversation with Lil E and myself ~

Lil E "Mommy, when I turn 6, I am getting a tiny baby brother. He is going to be so tiny and sweet!"

Me "honey, mommy can't promise you another baby. It is not up to me, It's up to God"

Lil E "Well Mommy, God gives us what we ask for, and I'm want a tiny baby brother!" (with determination in her voice, i might add)

Me "Oh sweetie, you know it's not always that easy. I don't want you to get your hopes up. Mommy's babies come in a very special way, God give them to us through adoption, but I can't ever promise anything." (again, what did I just say to her, God gives them to us!)

Lil E "I am going to get us a tiny baby, he is going to be so tiny, not a big baby like sissy was! she wasn't very tiny, she was already near grown up!" (I'm trying to fight back the tears, but then I just out laughing about Lil K being near grown up!)

Me "E, I know she was a big baby, but she is our baby! And I can't promise you a baby!"

Lil E "I'm going to ask God again, he knows that is what I am getting when I am six"

Me "sweetie, sometimes God can't always give us what we want, he knows best, and we have to just see"

Lil E "Well if God wont, I'll just talk to Jesus!" (as matter of fact as any near 6 year old can be)


Wow, talk about a little determination and some major faith in God! WOW! If we all just had a 10th of that Faith, where would we be! I know If I had as much faith, I know that I'd sure be in a much better place! I'd not be questioning things I don't know or understand so much! Now yes, I have a lot of faith, and I trust God more than I do anyone! But would I trust him enough to just say, he will be bringing me another baby without any facts or something sound to back it up! I don't think so. Even though it is only by the Arms of God that I have been blessed with my beautiful girls. He made the way, opened every door, closed doors in other situations, so that both adoptions went through in his timing! So would have that much faith, even though I am told to.....

So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. ~ Matthew 18:4


For me, I am going to do my best to be like a child, just like my sweet Lil E and trust God has the plan and the way without questioning or looking for a fact to back anything up! I am going to work to grow my Faith! I want more faith than a mustard seed, I want more than a 10th of the faith Lil E has! I wan to be busting out with FAITH!!!! So this is my goal! Less stress, because it's all in the hands and plans of God, My Heavenly Father!

If you do not know Christ as your Lord, it's as simple as a simple knock, like the one I give on the girls play house door! All you need to do is Ask him, and he will come to you! How much greater could that be? It's the BEST!

I am truly blessed and therefore, I am so thankful!!!! What a wonderful life I have!!

Hugs and Blessings,

It flew by!

***I can not believe we are into Aug!, and I never finished this post before I headed out to Convention... So it's out of order now! And then I found out tonight, that it has not been allowing anyone to comment my blogs, but that has been fixed! Hope yall enjoy! **



Where did July go? It really flew by super fast! We were so busy, and never did we slow down.

We had lots of fun, that's for sure!!!!!

A little dirt never hurt anyone! Nor does a lot of dirt! Lil E loves playing in the dirt! And nothing makes her happier than playing in the mud or rain! So she was one happy camper with all the early July rain. Thanks to Tropical Storm Alex, we had plenty of rain for the time being.



Before Patti and the boys left, we went to the mall to shop! And we rewarded the kids for being so good, a trip to the arcade!



Lil E loves driving the cars!!! But Lil K loves riding the motorcycles.



Can you believe it is just July 10 and 11~


We were having a cookout to send Patti and the boys off! I can't believe they were really heading home! I sure hate to see them go. We all had lots of fun!!! Before the cook out, Lil E was so busy dancing and entertaining us all!!!


And new to our family, we have adopted a new cat, Pyro! He is very special!!! He comes from our dear friends, Jenn and Irv! Lil E is so happy to have him! We love him!


After we say good bye and and are done crying, we were entertained by Lil K being our a monkey! She was a hoot! Doing flips and everything! She loves her new jammies!!!!

See who is my visitor when I am on the computer!! Pyro, he watches out the window, and talks to me!

Low and behold, Lil K is busy following in big sisters foot steps, in many ways!

See she, colored all over the dryer, and the cabinet, and sissy's doll! I remember this very age, Lil E was busy decorating our home too!! So I guess I'm gong to have two little picaso's in our home!


Cuddle time is my favorite!!!! Even Pyro has joined in on lots of cuddle time!




This has to be a favorite picture of mine!!! It's my sweet Lil K napping with mommy! To me she looks like a precious baby doll! Like a real baby doll, or a tiny baby!


And we are still having fun in the pool, aka our backyard oasis! **wink**
But to swim, you have to deal with all the balls!!! They love to have all the balls in the pool!







Just getting through daily stuff and taking care of all the things, that we haven't been home to do, as kept us so busy!!!!


The last night before they girls go see my parents, and I head to Convention, we chopped off Lil E's hair. It was what she wanted, so we did it. She loves it!


Now it's time to head to convention!!!

Hugs and Blessings,

I have been apart of more than one other Direct Sales Company, and never have I ever been more impressed with every part of the company!!! I love love love the products, but it's more than that!!!!

Here's a few pictures from our Kick off Tail Gate Party!!! It was fun!!!!!




After crying during General Session, because I had been moved beyond belief by our President of Scentsy, Heidi Thompson, as she gave her speak on Generosity! It was one of the BEST speeches ever!!!!! I was got so excited for new products!!!!!

We will be carrying the all new Fragrance Foam! It's a hand sanitizer that is alcohol free and is anti bacterial too!!! It will be out in 5 of the top selling favorite scents!!!! I find this so cool, since it's non toxic and safe for kids!!!!!!


But I am so excited to share the new Scentsy Buddies with you!!!! They are for the kid of all ages! (as with all stuffed animals, they say safe for children 3 and above.)



They do smell and you can pick your scent and even change it when the time comes, if you want! And this is easy because you just put in the all new Scent Pack!!! All safe new cloth sache'.... It is awesome!! One comes with the purchase of the Scentsy Buddy!



I met new people, made some friends, and had the time of my life! I learned a lot more about the Great company, the Owners, all the Executives, and was inspired to even be a better person!!!
It was truly the most rewarding of all conferences and training events I have attended!

And we had the best Guest speaker, Amanda Gore! She is a hoot and so up lifting!!!!

During the last General Session of the event, we had the chance to text our "ah-ha" moment of the convention, and a few the chance to speak on stage of theirs! I texted mine up, and it is the picture below!


Mine was, and it's my new motto to life! "simple joy with lots of generosity is the way!"


A trip wouldn't be complete without a little bit of extra fun too!!! So a group of us headed to the Hard Rock Cafe' for dinner and then we ended the night at Lakeside!! It was lots of fun!!!


As we were leaving Lakeside, we had to stop and play around of Hungry Hungry Hippo!!! How cool it was!!!!


I truly believe I have purpose of spreading the Scentsy Love with others!!!

Thank you for taking the trip of Convention with me!

Hugs and Blessings,

Back to the zoo, here's some of the pictures I took!!! I hope you enjoy them too!










I have to say I loved the feathered friends areas!!! It was so cool!!!



Loved being in the rain forest!!!








Not a lot to say, as the pictures speak for themselves, but the zoo is really awesome! So if you are ever there, be sure to check it out!!!

But it was time to get lunch and get to the Convention Center to start the Scentsy Convention 2010 ~ "Intensity!"
