I forgot to mention

On this last post about Mikayla's class work I forgot to mention that I have talked to the teacher and she was being nice letting her bring her work home instead of giving her a zero. We also talked about why she isn't getting it all done. It's not that she can't do it cause we all know she can. The first 3 test she has taken she has gotten 100% on 2 and 108% on the last one. She is getting distracted and is playing with everything inside of her desk. So Mrs. Brown and I came up with possibly taking her recess away since all she does in class is play. The teacher thinks this might help since she likes to go play football with the boys at recess. Mrs. brown has taken away a recess from her before we had talked about this. She sends her with her work and a clip board to finish her work while everyone plays and the sooner she gets it done the sooner she can go and play. It's kinda motivation for her to hurry up so she can play.

Falling behind

I'm just finding out that I'm having a little problem with Mikayla. I have noticed that she is bringing more work than her homework home. I've talked to her teacher and she said she just isn't getting her work done. She has no problem doing the work but taking the time to do it is her problem. What in the class is so darn distracting that makes her not do her work? I'm at loss for things to try and help her. I have taken away football and fixing to take away recesses from her. We are only into the school year 3 weeks and she's already falling behind. I personaly know her teacher and she has stayed the night with her a couple of times, maybe this has something to do with it. Maybe just maybe she's being a little to leniant with her and not making her do the things she needs to be doing. I have no clue. I so want her to excell to her full potential but if she's not ising her time wisely then she might not ever get to her full potential. I pray that she picks up her pace and whatever is keeping her from being the best student I know she can be gets out of her way. Mikayla loves school and loves to learn so that makes me wonder why she is going so slow this year. Who knows I just need to pray about it and leave this up to God he can see her through this little problem she is having.

1st always leads to a 2nd

OK so we went camping over the holiday. We had as much fun as we could. I love to go camping with the family. We did have some miss hap's but all in all the first day was the best. Christina had to go into town to get something so we piled up all 5 kids (don't see how you do it Robbie) and off to town we went. as we are just fixing to pull in to the store parking lot Katie screams "I lost a tooth mommy I lost a tooth" her first tooth she was so excited. The trip back to camp Katie talked about her tooth. She also wanted me to hand her tooth back to her so that she could look at it. As we get back to camp we put up the things we needed to and got ready to go swimming so we all piled back in the car to head off for the pool and shortly after we get there Katie comes running out of the pool saying I lost another one I lost another one. I was like what are you talking about? She handed me another tooth. OMG it hasn't even been an hour since the last tooth came out and this one wasn't even close to being lose. What is happening to my baby? I know she's suppose to lose her teeth but not like this now the other 2 teeth on the sides of the ones that fell out are lose. I called Brann to let him know that the tooth fairy needed to come that night. He brought to my attention that the last week in July Katie went to the dentist and they said her roots were disintegrating and they didn't know why. So did she lose her teeth on time or did it have to do with what the dentist had told us at her last visit? Hum who knows Brann wants me to take her back to the dentist but I say hey it'd fine she was suppose to lose those teeth any ways right? My poor Katie can't hardly talk now she had a lisp with everything she tries to say. It is so darn cute and funny. I have pics of her teeth missing but I'll post them later only because I'm lazy and my camera is out in the car. LOL

Friendly Lunch

OK so a few of my friends got together for lunch the other day. Just us ladies it was a wonderful time. We all sat and talked about all kinds of things and didn't have to worry about hearing the word MOMMY. Oh it was so nice to have a conversation with someone other than a child ladies who truly understand where each other were coming from. I so wish I had thought about bringing out my camera but I dropped the ball on that one. We have decided to make this lunch a once a month Lunch date and I have already had a few other friends ask if they could join us. The more the merrier I said so next time I think we might need a table for 9 instead of 6. It was also nice to have my sister join us. She needs Jesus more than she knows. I'm just so glad that my friends made her feel so welcomed and didn't push God and Church on her. It made her realize that us Christians do have fun outside of church and our whole world don't revolve around making sure every other word out of our mouths was condemning people or trying to convince people that they have to live the way we do. It was nice for her to see that there are people out there that will share their belief's only if you ask about them and not push them on you. I just hope next time she gets more out of it.

And School Starts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so not ready for school to start. I have all the things the girls need to go to school but I'm just not ready for them to go to school. I wish the summer could be longer or at least ball wouldn't have been so long so that we could of had a summer. I hope and pray that everyone of your children have a great school year. This year we are trying to save our school K-12 we can do it with Gods help in every area. I think God wants this just was much as we do cause he sent a a new principal for the Ele. which is a good Christian lady on top of her Husband being a minister. Also over half the teachers at our school a Christians so we have a great foundation to start on. I think this is all I have for today but I'm sure I'll be posting pics of Katie's first day of K. She got her hair cut for school which makes her look so darn big. She shouldn't be going to school already. OK I think I'm going to cry now so please pray for me that I make it through the first day and week.

I NEED HELP AGAIN PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so we have PIC (partners in Christ) going on at our school and I have been asked to speak to the kids. I have never done anything like this before and have no Idea where to start. I need some ideas and what ever you would like to help with. I have to do this August 27th I think so like a week and ahalf away. I've been praying about it and seeking Gods wisdom on this but I also would like the imput of my fellow bloggers if you don't mind. Thanks

Philippians 4:19: "But my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

yeah my poor baby is taller than the boys but then again so is Hanna so Kayla don't really care!!!

I was talking with Christina tonight at Church and we got to talking about a friend of ours that is so negative about everything so we have decided that we will pray for her. Our friend is truly a great person but she can never see the positive in anything. Anyways that led me on a another topic our friend called while I was out shopping and I told Christina I missed her call and right now I have some many different things going on that I could be so negative about that I really didn't need that negative attitude around right now. Which in turn left me telling Christina about all that God has done for me lately. Back in May Mikayla asked to play FOOTBALL yeah my little girl playing football. So we signed her up and paid the dues everything was great. Well as I told you before my husband has lost his job and we are now living off his unemployment, which isn't a lot but seems to ALWAYS be enough. I got an email from my friend Robin she asked "where were you? You had missed the meeting for football and they handed out all the pads they had to kids that couldn't go out and buy them." I looked at Brann and said "well call your dad and see if he can help till your next check comes in. " We never called his dad and forgot about it. Oh well we'll get it some how. We went to practice last night and poor Mikayla was out there practicing and when they told the kids to go get there helmets on and line up Kayla came over to me and asked "mom what do I do I don't have one yet?' I told her to go get in line and she will have one at the next practice. So Brann was talking to the Head coach and an old class mate walked up with a helmet in hand and asked the coach if he knew of anyone who needed one. The coach then said I think they all have one. Then she looked at Brann and said does Kayla have one yet. Of course Brann told her not yet we plan on getting her one before the next practice. She handed the helmet to him and said here Skylar out grew it she can have it. That was a $65 blessing from God. As the night went on they ended up finding leg pads and practice pants and Jersey for her and by the end of the night she had almost everything she needed. She tried on a size medium shoulder pads that were too big and the director on the league walked up and said that by next practice the league will have some shoulder pads that they will buy just for her they want her to have some extra padding in them due to her being a girl. So all in all us being faithful to the Lord he met our needs in every way that we could have imagined yeah he waiting till the last split second but I guess as Christina put it he waits till the very last second just so that we can fully put all our trust in him and him only. I'm so grateful to a loving father and he always meets my need it's not in my time but in his time. I am truly blessed in everything in my life.
