Yes we are already talking about Christmas and what we will be doing for it. This is how we can do it. We have a ton to buy for and have to look for things all year long. And I think we have it all work out for the most part. All kids are getting BOOKS!! nice! So I will look for them now and see what I can get on sale, and when I get one I will write on a paper who it is for and place it in a box, till we need it.
Dad/Sharon & Jen/Jason (girls) and getting Disney life saving bags! LOL!! As for we all will be going to disney next Jan. Should be fun and we fhave some great things that we want to put in their bags.
For the rest of the family we do not know what they will be getting but we do know how much. We feel that we need to know now that we can put money away. We do not want to go in debt, and one way not to is plan.
God wants us to be smart and be are best. And we feel that being our best is planning out. And there goes for all parts of our life, I plan the shopping trips, and not just the ones for food. Most of them, sometimes we go and get a little wild. Planning makes God happy we think, we think God was a planner and he wants use to be like him.
Please the
Lord
All year and
Never not plan
So to let you know we do sit down and write out a years of money and what we need for the next year, birthday, Annv, Shopping, trips, And Holidays. we make a budgets. LOL!! We try hard to stay on it and do for the most part. Will post a budget over look at a later time.

My poor sweet girls
So this morning I have the girls at the table working on "School" and it was Bible time and I was thinking to myself not right now. I was going back 'n fouth from the table to the kitchen getting lunch made. When Jessalla look at me and said that she was done and was getting things out for Bible time. And I ask her to help Eammah pick her things up and get things out.
It came time to sit down and we did our song and had a great time, and about time to start reading and Jessalla looks at me and when the saddest eyes I have ever seen ask " Mom if God loves us so much why does he not have daddy here with us more?" What do you tell her, As I'm thinking to what to say, she looks and says "what are we not getting?" I then look at her and ask her what are you talking about, "what are we not getting"
Jessalla- I have hear you say before that you have not got the leason that God wanted you to because it's still not going well. Or that he is "testing" you and you have not pass.
Me- well hun sometimes it not use that have the leason to learn or the test to pass, and we the just who God uses to help him. And maybe that is what God needs from us right not.
Jessalla- Well then is there something different that we need todo?
Me- Well, I'm not sure. But we can pray and ask God if there is.
Jessalla- Okay, ( she sits there for a minute without saying anything) Lets pray!!
Me- well lets finish Bible time first
Jessalla- I think we just did, don't you!?
Me- well, yes
So we pray and they both got down and went and played. She is so old for her age. And she may just be under five but today God was talking to me useing her. And I have to remember to talk to her about Matthew working more than I do. I know that it's hard on her and we are working on making it work.

What a year so far!! LOL
We are living in Michigan and had more snow when we were out in Cali! We are under a ton of change right now, and not sure how we will come out when we are done. Or if we will have to go back and try again till we find something that works better for us.
Change 1- no more cards! just cash, well paying bills online will still use cards, but other then that we are just a cash family. We are just taking out what we need, and have it in to different groups. We done it before but we stop and started using your cards again and see that it's not good for our family. So just making a big deal out of it so that we can stick to it. Also we are only shopping with a list and only once a week.
Change 2- Loseing weight, if you look at the post right before this I'm a little fat! Just a little, but I'm working on it and still trying to find the time that I need to work out and when the best time is with having the girls here and Matthew gone all the time. Still working on that but I'm sure that I will find the best time for it. Also I have put myself on a bed time of 10:30, I do well most nights. The down side to that is that I do not get to see Matthew all that much. Wish the hours were better.
Change 3- School.... Got some new books for Christmas that look a ton better, and over Christmas we got fa reader in the house, so I need to fix that in to the new plan. Starting half way in to the year with a new kid, thinking of starting our 2 year old. It's about the same time that I did with our oldest. Not that she will do a ton of work, but it works better if she has something todo when we are doing school. So we are moving our school things around in the house to. So I'm miss a few things now and need to find them.
Change 4- Not having our phones up on the weekends. It's something that we have been doing without knowing it. And it seems to work the best for us. As some of you know Matthew is working a ton and when he is home we need him just to be here for us and not be on the phone all the time. So we use it but only when we want to and that's not all that much when he is here. It's a good thing
Change 5- Daily life, that just comes down to how we run th daily to daily things that we do. It got to the point that I was feeling that I had no time to do anything for me. With house work, school, cooking, running around and doing the mom thing it was getting to be a little much. But I'm working on that and have found somethings that I can do.
That is a lot todo with little kids and a husband that is gone a ton.
