I'm back!

I apologize yet once again for my lapse in blogging. Things have been busy here. Softball/baseball season is here and we are in full swing (no pun intended). Grace and Jeffrey's schedules seem to conflict quite a bit. One will have a game and one will have practice, same day same time. It can get crazy, but it is fun!

David is getting bigger by the day. I can't believe that in just a few days he will be 9 months old! Where has the time gone? He is so much fun! He is clapping his hands now, all by himself! It is so cute, he is also waving. He hasn't started crawling yet, I go back and forth because I want him to start crawling, but at the same time I think I can wait for that! Lol! Maybe I am not quite ready! Haha!

RW will be home soon! I can't wait! It has been crazy trying to make plans to get out there for his homecoming, but I think we may finally have it organized. Thank goodness! It has been a real headache. I can't wait to get out there and see him, just knowing that he will be back and isn't going anywhere is such a great feeling. I am excited!!

This weekend is going to be fun and busy! Mom went to a Ladies Retreat with my Grandma (her Mom) for the weekend. So I am at home with my little brother and sister. We are having fun, and tomorrow night the Vaughan kiddos are coming for a sleepover. We will have a total of 8 kids in the house! It is going to be fun! Sara and I are excited!

That is the latest and greatest from me. Just busy! I will try and get more pictures and videos up soon! I hope this finds everyone doing well! :)

Hater

Hater/ By Maya Angelou

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their
time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough!

When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...

That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing
you blessed...

It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be
like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?

You never know what people have gone through to get what they
have...

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you
can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!

We've all got some haters among us!

Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb
(if he / she isn't about the right thing)

e) Raise your children without both parents being
in the home

Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be
on our side

How do you handle your undercover haters?
You can handle these haters by:

1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are
*(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled.

A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

3. By remembering what you have is by divine
prerogative and not human manipulation.

Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your
time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived my
life and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME!

When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at
me...Look at Who is in charge of me...'

More Videos

Here are some videos from about a month ago. I haven't had a chance to upload them any sooner than now, so here they are! Enjoy! :)

Here is a video of David getting his haircut at the barber shop for the first time, with DADDY! :)



This is one from a few weeks ago when we went to the park. David loved going down the slide with Aunt Grace! :)
