“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”



Paulo Coelho


“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.


Matthew 7:1-5


I found these quotes online and the bible verse is on my fridge. THey remind me every time I look at them that who am I to judge someone, especiially without knowing the motives behind there actions? I can get upset about something someone does OR says about me or my actions but why? Everyone is so willing to judge someone else, yet they don't even know the reason someone does something? They assume that there actions are the right ones!? I am not saying I am anywhere near never judging anyone, becuase I know I do sometimes, but everytime I do I need to look at it and maybe try to see history, motives and whatever else there is behind someones actions. Mean words hurt whether you admit it or not, and everyones automatic action is to lash out and hurts whoever offended them, but maybe if we take everything people say and do with a grain of salt, or not listen to it at all, or even give that person a chance to explain why they did what they did or said what they said, maybe they misunderstood something you said or did and got upset, and lashed ouut in revenge. Seriously there are tons of possible outcomes!
Maybe you and whoever will never see eye to eye, maybe there are just hateful, miserable, small-minded people in the world that have no exccuse for what they do, but its not our place to accuse or punish them, pray for them, hope that they find the hapiness in there life that they need, and live your amazing life with your kids, and hubby or whoever makes you happy!!!!

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car."


"Knowledge is realizing that the street is one-way, wisdom is looking both directions anyway"


Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.
 
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle
 
Are we to love only those who deserve our love? Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven.


- Matthew 5:43-45

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.


Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be

shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.

Think big anyway.

What you spend years building may

be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them.

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have

and you might get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.

The entire law is summed up in a single command, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

- Galatians 5:14 (NIV)

tumble away!!!

My tootie fruitie princess started her gymnastics\tumble class this wensday, orginally she was in tap-ballet but so got bored with it, and her favorite uncle joshy was teaching the tumble class. So of course she was more than happy to try it! And to my happiness she LOVED every minute of getting to role around, race the crab walk, and stretch and jump! SHe says joshy is going to teach her to flip in the air like he does( yikes!!!) he ussally clear a few feet in the air and I think I might have a heart attack seeing haile EVER try that!!!!!! Anyways here are a few pics of her and her tumble class!

The adventure of princess Ariel and her shorts...........

SO Ariel needed shorts for school, being that it is 100+ weather out I didn't think this would be to hard to accomplish!!! RIght??? Well after walking around ever kids store in the mall, target, walmart, ross, and her mom looking at old navy,I thought so differently!!! Everything was out for fall, sweaters, pants long sleeve shirt!!! This was in pheonix mind you, were even in the winter time you could probably go with out a jacket!!!! So finally discouraged enough to look at Alco in wickenburg I found bongo shorts with fabulously cute belts, and super cute shirts( none that were white thank goodness) and the best part was they were all under 10 bucks each!!!! I bought her 4 outfits and spent a max of 40 dollars in total!! If you can't tell I adore bargins, but then who doesn't?

Mr. Jack Denmark

Hello, well I wanted to introduce my little man............ No not adrien yet( 3months in counting till he arrives home) I am talking about my little puppy silly!!!!

He is shitzu snouzer (spelling im sure) mix and is either totally cute or so ugly he's cute I get mixed reations from everyone!!!! However he is the greatest puppy, he doesnt chew, he doesnt whine at night, he ussually lays on the couch with me or right at my feet..... Now when the kids are up and running through the house, its a whole new ball game he is ussually chasing after them, and has a fasination with ARiel and hailee's hair when they role on the floor with him.

Inspirational!

Blogging through blog land today and I stumbled upon bring the rain , it was such an inspirational story. I first found it through the music group Selah, that I fell in love with and plan on buying their cds!!! Anyways angie is such an amazing, strong woman, she has such a strong faith in Christ its well amazing. Reading her story made me so thankful for my life and family. Her family is in my prayers!!

Broken little heart..............

Not truly a broken heart, but in our little CHar mans apt they did find out he has a heart murmur( spelling I know) they aren't sure how bad, but they sent the referral in to a cardiologist to meet with us and charlee to check on him!!!

It kind of annoyed me the doctor looks at me and say you didn't know he had one? I say no how would I know, his last apt was here so you should have been the one to tell me don't you think? He looks at me well it was in his file, Im not sure why you didn't know!!! ERGH!!!!!! I was irrattated( the two hour wait didnt help) I am however just glad we found out now, so everyone that reads this pray for are little man, it may not seem like a huge thing in comparison to alot of things but it's big to me and I know it will be a big thing to the heavenly father:)

WEll check ups for the kiddos!!

Well tuesday the kids( Hailee and Charlee) had there well child check ups!! Yea!!! no not really......... THey had 5 shots each, which was bad! The worst part was Lee was sopose to go with me to help with the kids,(they are like me they dont take pain well at all), but my poor husbadn ended up with something bad, I don't know if it was the flu or what but he was puking, and couldn't leave the couch once he laid down!!!! SO I decide to just take the kids instead of rescheduling it! That will never happen again!!! I think I was more truamatized from having to hold them, while they screamed and cried, let alone have I mentioned that I am deathly afraid of needles!!!! So I wanted to throw up just seeing the needles!!! Lets just say I was so happy when they fell asleep and that day was over.

Here are a few pics I snapped during our 2 hour wait!

Before I fail to mention all the rest, Hailee is a shorty like her momma, a little under the weight average but nothing bad. He just said she's probably really active and has a fast metabolisim like me when I was a kid!! Wish I had that now!!!

Charlee is right were he should be weight wise, he's taller than most kids, hes only 2 inchs under his sister!!!! But I kinda expected that Lee is 5'9 and all my brothers hit at least 6 ft and my sister is well she's weirdo and is like 5'9 or 5'8 !!! I am only 5'3 which is kinda funny!!!

All in all everything was ok, will blog more on Chars apt. in a few!!

Canon vrs nikon.............

SO my wonderful mother in law got a new camera yesterday!! We met her at her casa to see her new puppys and to see the camera.........What camera do you ask? A Nikon D90!!!! 300 mm zoom lens ultra violet lens a 8 gb memory card!!! We put it together and took some pics and I fell in love with her camera!!!! I have never used anything other than canon, currantly I use my canon 35 mm Rebel and the Canon Digital Rebel. I am seriously thinking about trading mine in for the d90, but then theres the option of just getting a zoom lens and a few filters? I haven't fully decided but thought I would share my thoughts!!



On an even better note the puppies that I mentioned above are ever so cute!! Sue lin had for little girls a few are a dark greyish brown one is buckskinned and the other has spots!! SPots is Ariels favorite so she already has a claim on her!

A few pics..........

Here are a few pictures I snapped yesterday when we were out and about on our adventures

Hope you enjoy.......
