WOW... How fast time flies.....

It just seems like yesterday that Coleton was born. I can't believe that he is 1 day away from being done with his 1st year in Pre-school. When I went to his party yesterday... all I could do is cry to think how God has really blessed us! I am totally in awww of Gods love, forgiveness, and his mercy! Thank you Lord for allowing me to have 3 WONDERFUL blessings in my life and a wonderful husband!!!

Braxton's 1st birthday!!

I know that it has been awhile since I have blogged but, I have been VERY BUSY!!! We had 2 birthday parties for Braxton. One with family and the other at church with church friends and some more family members!! Here are some birthday pics!

Almost 1...

I can't believe that this time last year I was getting everything ready for our new addition!! Time has FLOWN by! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with 3 healthy boys!! It's so hard to think that on the 21st my baby boy will be 1 years old!

Thank you Lord for a WONDERFUL 1st year!

The reason I am VERY SORE!!!

Our lab just had puppies on Wednesday. The only down fall is that I brought her in my house on Tuesday night because I could tell that she was getting close to delivering. Well, as of Wednesday morning when I woke up I went in the bathroom to look to see if she had had them and she hadn't, so I let go back outside. I thought that she would at least give me a day or 2 more to get ready. Well, she didn't!!! After I let her out, she went under our trailer and pulled out incellation and had them up inside it!! So, I couldn't just leave them in there because they would have died in there. So I crawled under our trailer and had to cut a hole to pull them out and handed them to my dad and he put them in the dog house where they have been ever since!! I am thankful that we got her in the dog house when we did, because she ended up having one more. So, now we have a total of 6 puppies!!!

I am actually very thankful because as of today I only have 3 left for someone to claim!! She had 1 male and 5 females!!! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!!!

FIREPROOF

This is the BEST movie for couples to watch together. Before last Sunday Satan was really trying to tear Morgan and I apart. The only problem was we weren't going to let him do that because that would be giving Satan EXACTLY what he wanted. So, last Sunday we watched it together after the kids went to bed. It was exactly what we needed to watch because God gave us the best message ever. After watching it, we realized that we needed to do THE LOVE DARE!! Believe me when I say that it is worth watching and it is even more worth doing THE LOVE DARE!! Since this movie we have started reading the book and we have yet to even argue. Isn't amazing that when you let GOD have TOTAL control he ALWAYS shows you what you need to do or know!!!



My Prayer for today:

Lord, help me be the best mother and wife that I can be. But more than that, help me to lean on you when I am in need and trust you in EVERYTHING that I do. Thank you for being a GOD of second chances!!

VERY BUSY WEEK

I know that it has been like FOREVER since I posted last, but I have been subbing at the school since LAST Friday!! I was subbing for the music teacher. I never knew how much a music teacher had to travel in ONE DAY!! So, I hope that just maybe I even lost a few pounds considering that I was on the GO the WHOLE day every day!!!

Pictures of Coleton cont./ Recent pictures coming soon!

Here is him after his surgery! They closed his little belly all up and gave him a belly button!!!

This is were the bonding began. My mom stood by me and him through the whole process. Thank you MOM!! I love you!

Sorry that these pictures aren't very clear. This is Morgan with Coleton.

This was the best birthday present that I ever got... I FINALLY got to hold my baby boy!!

Coleton's Birth Pictures

Sorry it's been so long since my first post. I am still trying to figure everything out!! Here are some pictures just to give you an idea. I will post more probably tomorrow.

Here is how Coleton looked while they were transfering him to Childrens.

This is the ANGEL team from Childrens waiting to take him over there.

This is Coleton after he got to Childrens and they did the Surgery.

This is me with my baby boy, when he was 2 days old.

From the beginning

I am just now starting to get into blogging but I am SO excited about it!

Just a brief overview of my life as a stay at home mom. I am Amy and I turned 24 in January. I am the mother of 3 handsome boys and a wife to my husband Morgan of 3 years. I wanted to let you know a little bit about how things have been since I moved to Conway.

I used to live in a small town called Prairie Grove. I lived there for almost 16 years. I graduated High School from there in May of 2003. I have been raised in church my whole life! My dad is now a pastor, my mom's dad is pastor and one of my mom's brothers is an associate pastor. So, needless to say I have been brought up very well. During my senior year my dad moved to Vilonia to become their pastor, which left my mom and I still in Prairie Grove. I graduated in May and then in August we moved down here with him. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail because I don't have enough time or enough room to write everything, all I'm going to say is this... when you are brought up the right way and you know what is right and what is wrong, don't let Satin tell you that it's ok to do something you know is wrong because no one will catch you. Well, I am living proof that no one has to personally catch you because God is the one that matters and he is the one that we will have to answer to. So, needless to say, I became SO angry for many different reasons. And for that Satin saw a prime oppertunity to get to me. I now have Coleton as a result of that mistake. Along, with me having him before marriage, Coleton was born with a defect call gastrocesis. This is where his intestines are outside of the body. He weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces. He went directly from UAMS where I had him to Little Rock Childrens Hospital. He stayed there from January 9th, 2005 to February 3rd. It was something that I had never seen before and was very hard for me to look at. For awhile I blamed myself for what happened to Coleton, but the more I prayed and sought for God to comfort me and give me peace of mind the more I realized that this was nothing that I could have done different or to stop him from having this condition. The doctors and nurses in NICU there at Childrens are amazing and I thank them for everything that they did. So,now as I look back I think that going through something like that with Coleton has made me A LOT stronger of person now. I thank my ENTIRE family for sticking by me even when it wasn't easy. Now, after it's been 4 years I thank God for being a forgiving, loving, merciful, and power GOD!!


I LOVE being a stay at home mom!! My boys keep me very, very busy, but on some days I substitute teach at the school when they need me! I would have NEVER dreamed 4 years ago, that I would now be the mother of 3 HEALTHY, HANDSOME boys!!!


Here are pictures of my boys now. I will post pictures of Coleton as a baby soon!! Just remember no matter what you are going through "WHEN YOU CALL ON JESUS ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE"!!!

This is Braxton Gene!! He will be 10 months old on February 21st!

This is Dalton Lynne, he just turned 2 in September.

And this is my miracle baby!! Coleton turned 4 in January!
