I had so much fun this weekend at Marvelous Light! This was my third year to go and we almost didn't get to come but I'm so glad we did. God open my eyes to some areas in my life that I needed to work on, the awesome thing about it was Satan was attacking me in this area and weighing me down and I didn't even realize it, but God did. God really stepped up this weekend in so many was through so many people. I wanted to share some pictures with you, sorry there is kinda a few. lol

We had our own groups that we were able to confess our problems to, it was so uplifting when you are able to get the darkness into the light.
Then we prayed for each other that God would cast it out as far as the east is to the west.

The first day of school!

Megan's first day of school, she was so excited!! She told me that she didn't have butterflies she had lizards crawling around in her tummy. This year was a big year for her with a new school and new friends plus she has a man teacher, which she says he's Mexican like me. he he She's in second grade again this year cause she was falling alittle behind last year, but saw far things are going great, her teacher is already calling with updates on Megan and letting us know what she needs to be working on, alot different then last year, I have a feeling it's going to be a great year!!!




This is her classroom, it's a lot bigger and brighter then her old room , her old classroom had no windows and it felt like you were boxed in, her new class has a window and the room opens into the next classroom. They have brand new desks and their own lockers which she thought was really cool.


Logan's first day of Pre-k! He was so excited, he kept asking me all morning if it was time to go yet. He went right in and had no prblem telling me bye which was a good thing, I guess. I was ok while putting his back pack up and making sure I turned in all the paper work but when I was walking to the car it hit me. I cried and thought I'm not ready to loose my baby. I knew he would love it and he would have a great time but it was just the thought of him not being there with me and being all grown up now. The same thing went through my mind with Megan, I was ok while helping her with her stuff but walking out it hit me, I remember Logan looking at me and asking, momma are you ok? And I said yes I'm just going to miss Megan and he said that he was going to miss her too.



Logan started Pre-k a week after Megan started school so he was so excited to take a picture with his sister like a big boy!

Magic Kingdom!!! You should have seen the look on the kids faces when they saw the castle, Megan kept saying I'm I dreaming mommy it feels like I'm dreaming!!!

Animal Kingdom!! We had so much fun there, the safari that they had was alot of fun and Megan went on Expedition Everest which is a huge rollercoaster and loved it, she gets that from me. lol

This is the tree of life!

Epcot!!

Hollywood Studios!!! This was my favorite!

This was right outside our hotel.

We stayed at Herbie House or that's what Logan called it.

Me and Roger on Dumbo

Outside the Hotel again

Quincy and Logan at PlayHouse Disney.

Logan grabbed a hat and the snake and said I Hate Snakes just like Indiana Jones

Megan Logan and Mickey! Logan waited all day to see him.

Roger Megan and Logan having fun at Magic Kingdom.

Logan rode the Tower of Terror

this is a restaurant we ate at where you sit in cars and watch Sci-Fi movie clips and they bring your food right to your car. The kids thought it was off the hook as Logan said.

Star Wars the battle of Daddy and son! LOGAN SORRY BUT HE IS YOUR FATHER! LOL

Having fun!!!

I'm going to try to keep track of all the funny stuff the kids are saying and what they have been up to.

Megan is going on eight years old now and you would think we hit the teens already!!!! She is sooo funny sometimes, when she finds out that we are going out to the store or anywhere she will run to her room and try to find the perfect outfit to wear, of course she never has anything to wear even after Memom took her shopping for clothes two weeks ago. It took her thirty minutes to figure out what she wanted to wear last night for the Ranger Game, after the third outfit me and her friend Emma had to tell her she looked great and after yelling and saying she has nothing to wear we finally found something she would wear. I swear I'm at the teen years when we are on our way to Six Flags and I start smelling finger nail polish coming from the back seat of the car, yes she started painting her toe nails on the way to Six Flags cause the shoes she picked out showed off her toes!!!! She has such a big heart though, I hope her love for God never changes and that he will put her to work for him. Maybe something in fashion. LOL



Now Logan, I can go all night long. Ok, well his latest thing is he has a brother, yes he has a brother named Jimmy and he is ten years old and lives in Dallas with his grandma. Well right now after going to the Ranger Game Jimmy plays for the Rangers at the softball fields, and when we leave for Disney World we have to stop by and pick Jimmy up cause he is going with us. Now if you ever had talk to Logan you know what I mean when I say he says some of the funnest things. But the thing about this story is it never changes and he will go off and tell you all about Jimmy to where people really think he has a brother. This kid keeps us laughing everyday, and he doesn't know a stranger, if he meets you for the first time you don't get a shy hi , he will run up to you and give you a hug! The other day my dad was at the house watching the kids while I went and picked my cousin up from school and the pest control person stopped by, well he had to wait til I got home so I could sign some papers, well after I got there and signed the papers he said thanks and as he left he said Bye Logan and Logan said Bye! Dad said he followed him all around the house and he made sure he didn't miss a spot. LOL He will make friends where ever he goes, I guess I can learn alot from him. I hope both of my kids keep their good hearts, I hope they never grow up!!!!

Well it's been almost a month since the big day and everything seems pretty normal! LOL


We are getting ready for Disney World which we leave in a few days!!!

I can't wait we really need to get away from everything and just have a

good time.

I can't believe how much Megan and Logan are growing, Logan is going

to be five, FIVE I just can't believe that!!! He is such a sweet boy, he is so

much fun to talk to.

Megan is going to turn Eight, I really thought they quit

growing after five but they keep going. Megan is very quite

at first then she lets you have it! lol She is such a sweet girl

with a big heart.

Yeah I think we have a pretty cool family going on!!!!!! lol

A look at my life

Looking back at all the things I have done in my life I ask myself, how did I get here? Thank God there is forgiveness, I would hate to think where I would be if there were no second chances. I'm looking at the kids right now, I watch how they sleep and thank God that I can, back in 06 I would have killed for this, and I never in my wildest dreams thought I could get this all back.

I remember seeing my family go on and live without me, I had no control what they ate where they went or even what they watched on TV, I saw Roger go on and start to make a new life and I didn't know anything about it. But now that I look back when I did have control of everything,where was God? I knew he was there and that I could pray if I needed something but did I let him in?God is so much more in our live thenbefore.Ihave a new out look on God. Youdon't pray to him when you need something, you pray to talk with him so you can walk this world with him at his side.

When people ask me, what's differant this time in your marriage? At first I didn't know what to say, I knew in my heart,and I was excited but I couldn't put it into words until now. So what's differant in our marriage and in our lives this time around is, you ready? It's summed up in one word! GOD!!!

God was there Sunday when we renewed our vows, I saw him! I saw him in every one's face that day! I tell everyone that it was so moving, so much different then before. It's so much better now that God is in it. I can't wait to start this new life with him, and that's so much different in my past life cause I could care less about life, but now I can't wait to see what happens next. And I know there will be hard times but it doesn't scare me like before. He is always here, even when you push him away he is still waiting for you to grab onto him. And that is what is so different this time, our marriage is going to have it's ups and downs and that's OK, we don't have to pretend there's no problems cause I know everyone has their ups and downs and God is right there with us on our own roller coasters!

I'm so lucky to have found this new life, I can't wait to see what's around the corner, and the best thing of all is I have the coolest church family to walk with us! .

Hi everyone! I want to thank everyone for being there on Sunday, it was so moving to see everyone around us. We have been through so much and you were right there the whole time, a it was so nice to share this time with everyone we love. We are so excited to put the past behind us and start a new life. Thank you again for being here for our Family.
