My Circus

This past week has been a long one. My allergies have been really bad so I have been very unproductive. But I did have a great day watching the twins on Friday. Thanks Kelsey for letting me! Kenna has another sinus infection and so does Kelsey. I think I was at the pharmacy three times last week. I will laugh at how much money I will have to spend once the kids grow up and I am not spending a fortune on all of these meds. We also got another ortho consult that confirmed it looks like $8-10K for Kyle and Kelsey to have braces for 30 months. Yeah me! And people wonder why I can't go to the gym or get my hair done or pedicures or all of the cool stuff I wish I could do. But to be honest-I don't miss it. I only get to have these guys home for a short time and then they will be gone. I will have another 30 years by myself-so I am no too worried. Besides-they are pretty great. I know I am biased because they are mine, but it was so sweet yesterday to watch Kyle and Kelsey fight over holding two babies at church. Kyle just oohed and awed over both of them. He will be a good dad some day.....Kelsey just needs to make sure she finds a rich guy who can pay for the large family she will have. She is such a little mother-I am sure once she is 12 I will never see her because she will be babysitting so much! :)
Kyle was being pretty funny this weekend. He kept cracking us up. I would post the pictures, but he would kill me. Let's just say if he wasn't a member of the church he would be a great Chipendales dancer! He had some great one liners and I almost pee'd my pants. He and Kelsey were really cute this weekend. Kelsey played awesome as a defender! She was trapping the ball and they were not getting it past her. She almost scored a goal on one of her kicks from midfield. It was pretty cool.
I am looking forward to summer vacation and all the fun we are going to have. I hope that we can have some BBQs with friends often this summer.
I also have to add I am humbled by the power of fasting. I know it is a powerful thing-I have seen miracles happen. But I had kind of lost my focus on what it means to do it with full purpose of heart with real intent. During that time period I thought-of yeah-here all the contention begins, but after I concluded my fast-I was humbled to see the power of the Lord work on the hearts of those in my fast. I hope those moments will continue to be consecrated as I do my best to feel the fire of God. Because I believe that He loves us so much-we just need to go to Him always!
