WAS TODAY MONDAY AGAIN????

Thank you Lord - all my sweet children that you have graced me with are finally all in bed asleep!!!! I thought this day would never end! I think it probably had a lot to do with the fact that I had an allergy attack in the middle of the night last night and woke up with a Benadryl hang over this morning. Anyhow, I felt like screaming several times today and then I saw the trash man about lunch time and I seriously wanted to run out their with my children and send them with the trash truck! Cambry and Caden usually get a long really well, but for the last two days they have been arguing with each other like crazy. I know it probably has a lot to do with the stress of selling our house and having to keep it clean and Caden still doesn't understand why Ma and Papaw can't come over to "see his room" and why they are not coming home! Anyway, I told them that if they can't get along then we can't have people over to play because when they fight they are not "showing" Jesus, so their punishment is no friends can come over to play for the next two days. They are pretty upset about that! But now the day is over and we will start a BRAND NEW day tomorrow and I will pray really hard that tomorrow will be much better!! 

I have been craving a peach cobbler. I really like to cook, but I mostly enjoy cooking meals, not desserts and I can't say that I have ever made a peach cobbler or any kind of cobbler for that. So today I made a peach cobbler (maybe to reward myself for being so patient when I didn't feel like it with my children today!!! :) Anyway, it was really pretty easy and I got lots of extra kisses for that and it tasted really really good - definitely looking forward to having some more tomorrow!  

 

Zakry is growing so so fast!! Someone was holding him the other day and asked me if "he does anything yet" - (she doesn't have kids) Anyway, I said no he really hasn't started doing anything. Later that day, I went to run an errand and Bryan watched all the kids and Zakry rolled over from his back to his tummy! Of course I had to miss the first roll over!!! They told me and I thought maybe it had just been an accidental roll over or that they didn't know what they were talking about, but then he rolled over two more times that afternoon. He has also learned to get his fat little legs moving like he is crawling, but his upper body doesn't move with his legs yet, so he just scoots, but he scoots everywhere! At church on Sunday, a lady that said she is around children a lot asked if Zakry was "8 or 9 months old?" When I said four - she really didn't believe me. She said he was "way to big to be 4 months!" She asked me when his birthday was, I told her, then she had to count twice to make sure that it was really 4  months. (Like I, Mommy, wouldn't remember how old my baby was!!!)

Well, that's about all for today - I'm pretty tired, so I am going to bed now!!

Resting on the Sabbath

Exodus 20:8-10 "Remember to dedicate the Sabbath day: You are to labor six days and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God - you must not do any work"

Cambry is learning the 10 commandments this week in school. After we read that commandment, she asked if we were still supposed to not work on the Sabbath day and she asked what would happen if we did. Well, I don't have all the answers, but I do think that God still, in 2008, wants us to rest one day a week, and I think if we do that that we will get more accomplished in the six days of work than we would in seven! I don't know what would happen if we did work all the time, but I do know that God knew we would need to rest and I think if we don't that he will make sure we do!

Anyhow, here we are RESTING on Sunday after church and after working really hard for six days - packing cleaning, etc. etc. It's kinda funny, b/c Bryan had asked me if I was going to take a nap, and I said no, I had too much to do, but then Zakry would not let me rock him to sleep, nor would he just lay down and go to sleep on his own. So, I laid down with him (for just a minute - I said to myself) and he and I both ended up falling fast asleep. Cuddled with my two boys - I slept very peacefully! When Bryan woke up and saw- he captured the moment for me! We ended up laying on the couch the rest of the day and not doing ANYTHING!!!!

SO SWEET!!!

I was trying to cook supper last night and Zakry was being a little fussy. (We are not very good at letting Zakry fuss, because he is usually so happy and it is so very sad when he fusses! I know I know we are spoiling him - But it is with lots of LOVE!) Bryan was playing with Cambry and Caden, so I didn't want to disturb their play, so I picked Zakry up and did some multi-tasking (holding my sweet baby and cooking supper at the same time!) Zakry quickly fell  asleep in Mommy's arms!

Bryan & Caden in Colorado

I wanted to post some pictures of Bryan, Caden, and Cameron's trip to Colorado. They had lots of FUN playing in the snow and more importantly making some precious and unforgettable memories! I was really glad Caden had a chance to see all the snow since sometimes around here, our kids barely know what that is! They also had tons of fun catching lots of fish! Cameron cooked the fish for us when they got home - it was very tasty!!!! I am so glad they are HOME - Cambry and I missed them terribly!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!

Thank you So very much Stephanie for fixing my page for me!! I LOVE IT! So , I'm really excited now about trying to let everyone know what's going on here in the DORMAN home everyday, so I promise to try really hard to keep it up!!

We showed our house today!!!! YEAH!!! For those of you who do not know, we found a house in  Tennyson that Bryan has completely gutted and is now fixing back up and we plan on moving out there to "Our Ranch" as Caden calls it as soon as we can. It will still be quiet awhile until it is ready to move in, but we have put our house up for sale!!! I'll be uploading pics of our new house as we progress on it!!! GOtta go!!! Kids crying everywhere!!!!

Baby Zak

Such a HAPPY BABY!!
