Today I am doing Heidi's childcare from my house. I thought it would help them out to not have to worry about the childcare today and they can just focus on bringing their kiddos home. My house is pretty full with just my 4 kids but when you add 4 more it is really busting at the seams :) All is going really well so far and the kids are having a blast.
Please keep Larry and Heidi in your prayers as they travel home with their 9 kids. Road trips are hard enough, I can't imagine doing it with 9 kids!!

Finished
So I finally finished the 7th Harry Potter book yesterday. Gabe got to read it first and I had to wait on him. It was so freakin good!! I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob. Very well written!! For the sake of those who haven't read it, I won't say anymore. Read and enjoy it, it is awesome!!

Mexi-Ranch Chicken
Just for kicks and giggles, I thought I would share this recipe with you :)
The other night, Gabe and Brandon were going to be grilling brats, much to the horror of Dana and I. So I decided to attempt to make Dana and myself a yummy chicken meal. I had something similar at Applebees and I thought I would try to duplicate it to the best of my ability. It turned out so yummy I thought I must share it :)
What you need:
Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast
Lime Juice
Taco Seasoning
Ranch dressing
Shredded Colby/Monterrey Jack Cheese
Use a fork to poke holes in chicken. Put chicken in a seal-able plastic bag, cover with lime juice and marinade for 4 hours.
Cook the chicken (I had Gabe grill it).
Pour ranch dressing in bowl, sprinkle taco seasoning on top and mix together. You might have to taste to make sure you have a good balance.
Once the chicken is done grilling, brush the ranch mixture on top and sprinkle with cheese. Put the chicken on a baking pan and bake at 350 for 5-10 mins...just enough to melt the cheese.
Serve with Spanish Rice (or whatever you want :) and ENJOY!!

One Day
The other night Stasia was curled up on Gabe's lap and he was singing her "Sunshine" before she went to bed. I was watching them and my eyes began to fill with tears. Sometimes at moments like this I start to think of "THAT" day...
One day Anakin won't curl up next to me on the couch during movie time
One day he won't hold my hand as we walk down the street
One day he won't give me a kiss when I drop him off at a friend's house
One day Stasia won't ask Gabe or I to sing to her at night
One day she won't wake me in the middle of night to make her bad dreams go away
One day she won't curl up in her daddy's lap
One day Sorsha won't get into everything
One day she won't baby talk anymore
One day she won't cry when I leave
One day Gabrielle won't need me to hold her bottle
One day she won't want me to hold her
One day she won't lay her head on my chest just to hear my heartbeat
At these moments I wish I could freeze time so that I never have to face "that" day. But alas, I can't freeze time. So I try to soak up as much of them as I can. It is such a hard thing to explain...I want them to grow up to be wonderful, Godly, healthy adults, but I also want them to stay my babies just alittle longer.
To my babies:
You are my Sunshine
My only Sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know Dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My Sunshine away
