Southern made mudpies!!
These mud pies are prime mud. They sell for top dollar. Get you some before it's too late!!Kaison just hates being left out. Soooo when Gabriel and Zoe play in the dirt he wants to too. Which means mommy has to too!! So if I'm gonna get dirty with them I'd rather get muddy. They sure did have fun. But Gabe made sure there was not a speck of mud on him. He is his daddy's clean freak.

It was a watermelon kinda day. Even though the watermelon was small and overpriced (5.98) and not super sweet, it still hit the spot. After camping all day and playing hard on the playground, it was great refreshment!! Kaison tried it for the first time and realized that he loved it!! A lot!!! Gabriel is a huge fan of of watermelon so he ate up 3 or 4 slices.
Zoe had her a slice but she ate more strawberries! I love being outdoors in the springtime with my family!!

The Friendly, Yet Hungry Giant

2011-03-14T22:26:00.002-05:00

Once upon a time there were some beautiful princesses that lived in a pretty pink castle on top of a mountain. The castle was made out of brownies with pink frosting. It was adorned with gum drops and lollipops and sweets of all sorts. At the bottom of the mountain, there lived a giant that loved to eat!!!

One day he made his way up the mountain and he was intrigued by the sparkly castle. As he got closer he was greeted with a sumptuous smell. It made his tummy happy. The princesses hoped that the giant was friendly. And he was a friendly giant. He waved at the princesses and then began eating the door of the castle. He was friendly and hungry.

Gabriel went to the Post office and mailed a Postcard to hisself with his school. He was excited to check the mail everyday. On his Postcard he drew "Gabriel's Person". The big one is Gabriel and the little one Is Kaison. He was pretty pumped!! So was his sister.

2011-03-12T09:10:00.001-06:00

Oh how I love this brown water!! Mix in a little sugar and some white fat!!! "cafe au lait" Something that I've had to grow to love and now don't want to be without. I drink it twice a day an sometimes even want it at 8-9oclock. And for some reason, I'm always very picky about my cup. I like to drink my coffee in a cute or fun cup. It's kind of disappointing when you have a boring cup like I have today. Why should it matter what cup you have??? Maybe drinking coffee is like a hobby. And since I'm now addicted to it I'm definitely a social sipper! It's what adults do when they don't drink alcohol.

Kaison and daddy on the swing. Looking so sweet.

Trying out mobile blogger

Lets try this again!!!

2011-03-04T21:37:00.004-06:00

Okay, i'm gonna give this a trial run again. I truly love blogging but i think the reason i quit is because i'd have to upload pics like everyday. Well now thanks to mobile blogging that may be a whole lot easier.

Dont bother backreading my blog to see what i have been doing unless you are interested in things that happened in 2009. I am hoping to do better this time around and bring you lots of fun from Louisiana!

Lets start with some updates. I've added one extra little Cajun since the last time i blogged...

This is Kaison Jeremiah (at Birth). He weighed in at a petit 6lbs 8oz, But my largest out of my 3. However, he didnt stay petit. He is now a whopping 20lbs 9oz at 6mos old. Still my largest out of the 3. But he has forever stolen my heart with his rosy red cheeks and his little cellulitey chunky legs. Here is an updated pic of my other two...

Gabe's first football practice

2009-09-09T09:45:00.003-05:00

Okay, no i dont have pics...they told me they weren't really gonna practice. Just do uniforms. He was so cute though. A little nervous. And he had run fever a little that day. He is the littlest one on the team. They dont make cleats in his size. His team name is LSU. Picked out by his teammates. He wanted to be the cowboys. He is #1. He picked his own number. He is ready to get his uniform.
The coach put him on the front line of offense. They said he was gonna be their secret weapon and he would have to make a touchdown sometime this year. LOL.
Joel had to stand on side with him until he got his courage up and while Gabe was running with the team he looked back at Joel and grinned. And Joel said he wished he could frame that forever. It was all worth it just for that smile. LOL. My little boy is such a cute one! Pictures to come. I PROMISE.

Zoe starts dancing next tuesday. So her post is to come.

Erika this is for you!! I havent been on here in forever. Forgot about it actually.

The Lake Charles Children's Museum

2009-03-11T08:51:00.005-05:00

We had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours at this awesome place. It was very fun for my kiddos....and the adults. He He. We had a blast. Gabriel and Zoe were zooming everywhere. There were in hypermode. Its like there was so much to do they had to try hard to focus on only one thing at a time. This was Joels first time at a children's museum too so he very much loved it. These places amazing. They have tons of fun and interesting things to do. I had been to the one in New Orleans and they are very similar.

This is the highest we got this bubble. The kids kept popping it.

Gabe was singing "Jesus Loves me" and he drew a crowd. Then when he realized he was being watched he dropped the mic and it made a loud boom. He said "They got me scared"

They got to be on TV so they were watching themselves.

They do have other clothes. I know the last two posts have my kids in the same outfits. lol

Deluge 6 Conference in Baton Rouge

2009-03-10T13:38:00.005-05:00

Joel and I went to an AWESOME conference in Baton Rouge at Bethany World Prayer Center. It was the Deluge 6 conference. They have an awesome worhip team. It was full of God's presence. The preaching was awesome. The worship was awesome. It was really great. But where was I?? Outside on the playground with my loud ones. Zoe looks bigger in these pictures. But they are actually the same size but the way the sun was shining and the way that they were standing it makes her look huge and him tiny

They weren't being really bad or anything. They were just being kids. And you try to get a 2 and 3 yr old to sit down quietly for 3 hours straight. (we had to be there way early because of the traffic and tons of people). And you know how it is when you are sitting by people you dont know, my kids weren't bothering me but they may have been bothering those sitting around us.

I had brought a ton of things for them to do, coloring books, blocks, snacks, barbies, books, etc. And it worked but they went through it all in like 25 minutes. Soooo, instead Joel got his cup filled and I got great pictures.

Making Louisiana Snow Angels.

New Hair!!

2009-03-10T12:54:00.005-05:00

I got Zoe's tail cut off. Her hair is in a little bob now. I just love it. I loved it so much i cut mine.

I made this dress for her! I love it. It was so easy i made 3 more. I've really been into sewing. I'm about to go sew right now!

I totally cut all my hair off!! My sides are a little longer than my back. So, I got about 6 inches off my sides and about 8 off my back.

Snuggling with our Kitty!

2009-03-04T22:09:00.004-06:00

Zoe looks really funny here.

I'm sure the kitty is saying help me.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

2009-02-11T09:05:00.003-06:00

A classic Brenden Frasier movie of course. Why are all of his movies so cheesy. Is he locked in a cheesy contract that makes him say yes to all the cheesy movies? And why does he always go from being a dork to being the hero? Well anyway...we got this in on Netflix yesterday. It was entertaining. Not something I'd choose to watch again. But my 2 & 3 yr. old. thoroughly enjoyed it. They watched the whole thing with us. They kept asking where Trevor went (B.Frasier) and Sean and Nanna (the other two Main Characters. The girl's name was either hanna or anna) So this would definitely be the first hour long movie they sat through. They stood up and hooped and cheered along with it. It was so cute.
This morning when i got up i put the movie back in the Netflix envelope and put it in the mailbox. Then, much to my astonishment, Gabriel and Zoe began asking for Trevor and Nanna this morning. They wanted to watch it again. I said no, lets just watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. They objected and continued to object. So, I went got it out of the mailbox for them. This time they didn't last the whole movie. But they were very excited. LOL. So Brendan Frasier still has the younger crowds attention.

Declawing and Castrating, AHHHHH!!!!

2009-02-05T08:29:00.003-06:00

Having an inside cat is EXPENSIVE. To declaw and castrate it will cost $150. WOW. I always wondered why people bought cats from petsmart for like 60bucks. But i totally understand now. Because they come with these two procedures done already.

I told Gabe and Zoe about Lollipop having to go to the Dr. to get his claws out. I didnt explaine the other procedure. Gabe asked if Lollipop can get his teeth out too so he cant bite. Then he went on and asked if he(Gabriel) can get his legs cut off so Lollipop cant scratch him anymore. LOL.

We have a LOLLIPOP!!!

2009-02-05T08:15:00.003-06:00

YEA!!! my husband finally allowed me to have an inside pet. (one of my lifelong dreams) Someone had a stray cat that showed up at their beauty shop and they were looking for someone to take it in. Well i pleaded my case to my husband. He was dead set on it not being inside. He said i can go get it as long as it stays outside. Well as soon as i brought it in the house i'm guessing his heart melted or something. The kids loved it. And that nite at 9pm i was running to walmart for cat food and kitty litter.
We decided to call HER, Lollipop. The people that gave HER to us said She was a girl. We never even checked. So when I brought HER to the vet the lady picked HER up and said "You mean, HE." So here we are with a tiger striped boy cat named Lollipop. Poor cat. I tried to get the kids to change HIS name and Gabe's only suggestion was "CarSeat". So i guess this BOY cat will always be Lollipop.

Lollipop's story....My friend Mary saw this same kitten crossing the railroad tracks (which means it came across a 4 lane hwy). She wanted to stop and get it but she didnt think her hubby would let her. So instead she prayed that God would take care of the cat. Then my friend Jane said it showed up outside of her office. Then it went down the street a ways and ended up at a beauty shop. One hairdresser was gonna keep him then changed her mind. Then another took it home and couldnt keep it cuz her apartment doesn't allow pets. So she called Ashlee, our pastor's daughter. Ashlee was standing beside me at chruch when she got the call and immediately asked if i wanted it. So, if we do change Lollipop's name i think it should be Miracle.

My Babies are GROWING!!

2009-01-09T18:46:00.002-06:00

They will be 2 & 3 in a couple of days. Its so great and so sad at the same time. These are my latest wall hangings. I love them.

UN-Paid Comedians

2008-10-27T14:05:00.002-05:00

My kids continue to amaze me with the things they do and say. They are perfect comedians and they aren't even trying.

The other day i was feeding all the kids i babysit and my two also. I use some plates I got at walmart and they are divided. I dont usually pay attention to which color I give to each child. Gabriel was about halfway through his meal when he noticed he was eating out of a pink plate. He told me "I don't want this Lady plate." It took me a minute to figure out exactly what he was talking about. Then, a day or two later I came home with some chocolate covered strawberry ice cream from blue bell. It comes in a pink container. He told me he wanted some of that Lady ice cream. It's so funny that he associates pink with a lady. I've never told him anything about that and he even has a couple pink shirts.

Then, Zoe. She was MIA one day for about 10 min. We were at my sis-in-law's house. Her husband, Tim, found her in the closet with an orange crayola marker. She loves to write and she usually is good about staying on the paper, but with a lack of paper I guess she decided to write on herself. When he brought her out she said, "Look, mama, look. Pretty, Mama." LOL. How can you fuss her for that. Afterall she was just getting creative.

An interesting post from my Bro-In-Law.

I'm not a big one for politics. Its mostly about who can tell the bigger lie and who has the most money and all that jazz but i must say i do not like the idea of Obama as the next pres.

As a christian, I dont think i could ever vote for this man. Not that i'm super interested in his opponent. I'm just not interested in him. He doesnt seem like the nicest guy.

Ten things you love but may never say aloud.

Floored!!!

2008-10-23T12:57:00.003-05:00

How many times can you sweep your floor and then look forward to doing it again? I truly love taking care of my family. I do. Promise. But, do I have to enjoy picking up every crumb i step on on my floor. I hate cleaning my floors. I'd rather have a maid to do it. I dont mind dishes, but only because i have a dishwasher and washing clothes is fine until i have to fold them. I don't mind picking up my children's toys and cleaning their room, except for the blocks. My room is another story. I think my hubby and i are completely ok with letting our clothes lie where they may and just never cleaning in there. So here is the meaning of this blog. Name something you'd rather write a blog about than do.

I'd much rather blog than clean my floors. Which needs to be done right now.

A beautiful Story

2008-10-20T08:46:00.002-05:00

Issac
This is a blog i found that has totally touched my heart. I don't know how i could handle losing a baby in such a way. I truly admire Stacy and her husband. They are stronger than I can say. This link is for a slideshow of Issac's sweet life. As short as it was it was still very powerful. Stacy has a strong heart and I see God in her life. I pray that God will see her through this struggle. God bless this family.

Birthday Girl

2008-10-16T17:10:00.003-05:00

Today was Lauren's b-day. One of the one's I babysit. So, her momma brought cupcakes. So of course we had to take pictures. Then, each child had to have a candle in their cupcake. It is so cute that they are friends and they are so little. Raylan and Zoe actually play together on purpose. Its so cute. They get their little purses and walk around together and they give each other high 5's.
I took a birthday picture of Lauren. Two years old today. Gabriel and Zoe had to have theirs done too.
I had a busy day. I painted two name plaques. Well one was actually a bow holder for Lauren. I baked a cake for Bunko tonight.(a totally awesome game. I'll blog about it later) Edited pics and printed them out for the mom's. Did a load of dishes, took a bath, had two small birthday parties(breakfast and snack time. All this with 5 kids running around my house. Thats about all.

Sunday's Best

2008-10-15T10:22:00.004-05:00

Gabriel and Zoe ready for church one sunday morning. Gabriel said he had to have his tie out because he couldn't walk with it tucked in. lol.

This dress was a great flea market find. I love shopping second hand. Ebay and flea markets are where i find my best deals on expensive dresses and shoes!! My grandmother, Mawmaw Irene, found this at a thrift store for $10 and she couldn't resist. Zoe was so excited. All day long she would pat on her dress and say MawMaw, MawMaw!! I loved it. So cute and pretty for a sunday dress.

The next week MawMaw brought Zoe some new earings and she did the same thing all day with a couple added words. MawMaw gave that! LOL.

All Star Lunch

2008-10-15T10:15:00.004-05:00

I enjoy lunch time with all the children. But, unfortunately, my kids never eat as good as the ones i babysit. So i tried to get creative. Make it a fun lunch. Gabriel and Zoe never want to eat a sandwich the correct way. They like to open it up and eat just the meat and cheese and sometimes the bread. But today Gabriel (not Zoe) learned to correct way to eat a sandwich. He was so excited that he was eating a star sandwich.

These were made just like a regular sandwich and then i used a star cookie cutter. I saved the leftovers and let them eat the meat that was cut off.

They also love having a picnic outside. But is was kinda damp so we were under the garage.

Pregnancy

2008-10-14T13:00:00.002-05:00

I was looking at some old pics and i found these so i thought i'd blog about them.

I truly loved being pregnant. I loved everything about it. It was such a wonderful amazing thing. God is so real. Only a loving God can create things with such wonder. I loved the feeling of a life being inside of me. I loved the cravings, the beauty it brings to a mother, the clothes, the anticipation. Both of my babies were tiny so i didnt get too big. but i wanted to.

Gabriel Everett Chi weighed 4.2 oz. He was a miracle baby. He was shrinking inside me because i had lost all of my amniotic fluid. How? No Clue. It just dissappeared. Had to have an emergency c-section. Where i was told he may or may not make it. But, glory to God, he did.
Zoe Christabelle was such a beauty!! She came in a much calmer way. We had a scheduled date in which we drove to the hospital and she was taken out of me. I love the sound of a fairly quiet room and then a child is born and it is no longer quiet. Lol.

Oh Sweet Nap Time!

2008-10-14T12:55:00.003-05:00

Okay, I babysit 4 kids and i have 2 of my own. Needless to say, nap time is one of the high points in my day. LOL. I actually get to eat and do whatever i want!! (Sometimes)

Most of them are on the same schedule, but i have a 3 month old that i watch and she is on her own schedule. But, she is a good baby. Age wise i have Gabriel, 2 3/4 ; Lauren, 2; Zoe, 1 3/4; Raylan, 1 1/2; Jace, 1; and Morgan 3m. WOW.

I love nap time!

Whats in a Name??

2008-09-24T09:42:00.002-05:00

Ok, this post was inspired by rubyellen. I was reading a bit of her blog and I was intrigued by her children's names.

I had a former post about names that i went back and read. You can click here to read it.
My children are Gabriel Evertt Chi and Zoe Christabelle.
Gabriel's full name means God's Strong Anointed Man.
Zoe's full name means Beautiful Anointed Life.
We choose their names because of their meaning. I believe that God did the same thing when he renamed Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Isreal. And many others that he chose to give new names. God's word is very clear to say that the words we speak can either come as life or death. We should never speak negative things. Always speak life. I catch myself saying "I think my children are getting sick". Right there i'm am agreeing with the enemy and not with God. God says he took stripes on his back for our sickness and if i disagree with God, then my children probally will end up sick. But anyway, back to names.

I love the thought of having the different forms of christ in my children's names because Christ means annointed. I used Chi for Gabe and Christabelle for Zoe. I'm still searching for more names to use for my upcoming children's middle or first names. Not that i'm pregnant or plan to be in the next 2 to 3 years, but thats just something i'm always searching for. I think I like Christianna. Not quite sure yet. I'm still stuck on using Chi for my next boy because I cant find anything that i trully love.

Also, I really like two name first names. Such as, Ella Grace or Lilla Kate for girls. I dont have many suggestions for 2NFN for boys. I do know a boy that is called Robert Allen.

So thats what kind of suggestions i'm looking for from anyone. Chi names and 2NFN. Thanks.

Baby Jesus and the Leatherback Turtle

2008-09-22T21:15:00.003-05:00

Okay, so i'm sure you wondering what the heck i'm blogging about here. But its hilarious. My son has been very interested in Bible stories lately and we told him the story about Mary being the mother of Baby Jesus. Well, my mom bought him some bible figurines from the dollar store. He has Mary, Moses, and Noah. He decided to take a bath with them the last two nights.

Also, Gabriel has been very intrigued by Diego from Nick, Jr. And we have the episode of Diego saves the leatherback sea turtle recorded so he has watched it several times. So, tonight while he was bathing he asked for mary and then when i put all his other bath toys in there was a baby and i told him that it was baby Jesus. Later, he asked for his turtle. And I brought it to him. Then, I returned later to find Baby Jesus riding on the back of the turtle all over the tub. He told me so calmly that baby jesus was riding on the turtle. It was so cute.

Because I am home alone for the first time in years.

2008-09-20T10:18:00.003-05:00

Last night we went to a high school football game. Gabriel loves to watch football, well any kind of ball game really. Zoe likes to watch the cheerleaders. So, I decked them out in their LSU Tiger outfits and painted their faces. Gabriel wanted to bring his glove, his helment, his football, and his baseball. He kinda mixes them all up. They had a blast of course. Gabe kept saying that he wanted to go down there and play too. Zoe cheered and clapped.

When we got home I told Gabriel to put his GameFace on. I showed him how to "Grrrr" like a football player.

They both got footballs at the game and Gabriel can throw his very well.

Today they are off to yet another game. They went to Summer and Erin's Soccer game. They love it.

Time to Resurrect!!

2008-09-19T13:53:00.003-05:00

Its been like forever. My babies are growing and we are so busy, i just forgot about this blog.

But here we go!!!

These are some new matching outfits i bought for Gabriel and Zoe. They so should've been twins. They are both 24 lbs. and Gabriel is only about an inch taller than Zoe. She is catching up with him in talking. She is such a copy cat. She does whatever he does. The other day they were in the nursery at church and Zoe was on a horse that Gabe wanted to be on. So, Gabriel being as bright as he is, went and climbed on a chair knowing that Zoe would follow. Sure enough, she did. So Gabriel seized that oppurtunity to get on the horse. I didnt know whether to call him smart or decietful.

Zoe is starting to potty train with Gabriel. He is not too interested in it. He tells me when he goes in his diaper and she has caught on. Several times she has told me she had to poo poo and she really does it. Go, ZOE!!!

Gabriel is so into bible stories right now. And he remembers a lot about every story. He knows the names of the three Hebrew boys, Shaddrach, Meshach, and Abendego. He knows the story of Jonah the best. He also loves Daniel and the lions den, David and Goliath, Mary and the angel Gabriel, Moses and the burning bush, Noah and the Ark. And he remembers something about all of these. Can you say WOW. Wow. Thats what i say all the time. He amazes me.

Rocking Rockfest

2008-04-04T13:51:00.003-05:00

Are you proud...2 in one week???

We took our youth group to amite, la for Rockfest. It was being put on by our old chuch. It was so much fun. I made Gabe and Zoe shirts that said "my nanny is a rockstar" because Raynelle(thier nanny) was the lead singer in Evangeline Watch. They are awesome. You can check them out on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/evangelinewatch . There was also two other bands there that rocked, Kings Fall and Elesyuum. The kids had a great time.

I loved Zoe's tutu so much. I made it for her. She was a rockstar that day.

This is a pic i caught that day. It kinda looks like Jesus' White horse, Huh!!!

Easter 08

2008-04-01T22:12:00.003-05:00

Well i guess its time for a blog. I know its been forever. These are some of my easter pics.

I took my kids to my Papa's nursing home for an easter egg hunt. They loved it. Zoe did a great job of losing her eggs as she walked. It was so funny. But, she'd just go right back and pick them up. Gabe helped her.

Our family got together the saturday before at my grandparents house. We decided to take a grandkid picture. Even though we are missing some of the grandchildren. We had a good day. My grandfather is aging a lot lately and he doesn't always know whats happening. But during the day when i was talking to him he motioned for me to sit on his lap. It was so sweet. I enjoyed it even though i was trying to hold myself up so i wouldn't crush him. I was wishing someone would have taken a picture, but its just something i'll have to remember forever.

2008-01-30T11:12:00.000-06:00

"When a person, yielding to God and believing the truth of God, is filled with the Spirit of God, even his faintest whisper will be worship." A.W. Tozer

I got this from another blog and I just loved it. I love God and all he does. It doesn't take much for us to sacrifice the tiniest whisper of worship to Him daily. But we do take Him for granted so often. There are days when its bedtime and i have to ask myself if i talked to God today. Thats shameful of me. God, help me to always remember to thank you.

Blankie Loving

2008-01-30T09:50:00.000-06:00

My kids love their blankies and I wanted to take some pics with them so they can see how much they loved them when they are older. I love the way these turned out. I took 3 of each so I can frame them all together. I just learned how to do this selective color thing and I LOVE IT! I feel like i have accomplished something in my life!! lol!! It really isnt as hard as it looks.

This is a little girl i babysit that also loves her blankie terribly.

Outside Fun with Friends

2008-01-18T18:06:00.000-06:00

Zoe stole Gabriels sucker. She likes to have two of things all the time. Especially suckers. Sorry this pic is sideways.
Zoe being beautiful

Gabriel and his bestest friend Kaden. Gabriel is 4 mos. OLDER than Kaden. This is the difference in thier shoes. Wow. Gabe is in a 4 and Kaden wears a 10.
Tayte, Gabriel, Brady, Zoe and Kaden.

He finally poses really cute and he has a purple mouth from a sucker and a hat on .

Pink & Blue She's 1 He's 2

2008-01-18T17:25:00.000-06:00

Happy 1st Birthday Zoe Christabelle. you are beautiful baby! And it was a hot January day as usual. Dont freak out because my kid isnt dressed.
Zoe and Mommy
Singing happy birthday
Zoe's shirt said Pink w/ the number 1 on the back. There were so cute and of course they wouldnt let me get a good pic of them in them.

This was the cake table for Gabriel and Zoe's party. We had pink and blue cookies. We drank Pretty in Pink Punch and Bippity Boppity Blue Punch.

We had Pink & Blue Rice for the gumbo. Everyone was a little freaked out. Only one person refused not to eat it.
Stealing a bite.
Gabriel and Granny. He was so happy to finally get his Happy Cake (as he calls it). And when asked how old he is he says 1, 2! The cake was dyed pink on the inside and it had blue filling even though you can't see it well here.

Needless to say we had a grreat day. My babies did fine even though i didnt think and planned the party at their nap time. No whining or crying. I loved thier party but i was sad because my babies are growing up. I have to finish with the potty training and start breaking Zoe from the bottle. Growing up is so sad and happy at the same time.

Happy Birthday to Gabriel & Zoe

2008-01-09T13:24:00.000-06:00

Gabriel and Zoe are turning 2 & 1. OH WOW! How sad and happy at the same time. We had lots of great times with them so far. They are the most wonderful gifts i've ever been given.

Merry Christmas to ALL!!

2007-12-19T10:09:00.000-06:00

Hanging in the yard

2007-12-18T22:23:00.000-06:00

This was last week. Yes the month of december. Gabe had just dirtied his clothes so i took them off and Joel had to do something outside and Gabe followed. Then Zoe wanted to go. So thats why he is naked. BUT it was not at all cold. It was hot.

Zoe decided not to crawl on her knees. She looked so funny crawling like this. Then she just decided to walk. Yea, I know!!! Shes still a baby she doesnt need to be walking. I fussed her. She took about 7 - 10 steps. She just does in the middle of the yard. Stands up walks a little and gets down. She was doing it even more on the cement. Crazy. I dont want them to grow up so fast!!

Making Christmas Cookies

2007-12-18T22:09:00.000-06:00

Gabriel and Zoe helped make cookies with me today. Well all they were really interested in doing is eating the dough. So let me rephrase that..... Gabriel and Zoe ate a lot of cookie dough today. We didnt get to make one of their cookies. But it still made for great pics and a great christmas card. I used Charin's pic of Gabe for the Christmas card.

They really enjoyed the cookies once they were baked also.

Christmas banquet

2007-12-16T21:19:00.000-06:00

These are some pics from our church christmas banquet. My kids just gave up on smiling for a picture. We had a good time. Ate some good food. Our praise team, PS 150, danced. Good times, really good times.

I just love the christmas season. I love the lights and the jollyness. I love watching all the good movies and getting to give gifts to people. I just wish it wouldnt be about the cost of the gift. Why do people have to buy one another gifts of the same price.

Merry Christmas to all!

Fun stuff

2007-12-10T21:29:00.000-06:00

A cute pic from arkansas in front of a mexican resturant wall. just giving Zoe some love

Stacie rae got married Friday to her new man Tim! She is a Comeaux now. Wow. Whoa! We took this pic at the wedding. It is a classic!
Zoe and Gabriel rode up the aisle in their wagon. It was so cute! But of course they dont pose for pictures anymore. So this is all we got! Zoe was so beautiful in her dress. She had on a slip that made it really poofy and i made her a bow from the ribbon we decorated with.

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-11-13T22:10:00.000-06:00

YES! GREAT! WOW! AWESOME! TOTALLY! RADICAL! My computer is fixed!!!!!!!

This is so great! Good News!! Neat. I'm just a little excited! Can you tell?

Ruth's Dress

2007-11-10T09:20:00.000-06:00

This is a dress my aunt Charlene made for her daughter Ruth. She lent it to Zoe. Its so sweet! I think i waited a little to long to let Zoe wear it cuz its kinda short. But its still cute and she'll be able to wear it for at least 3 more months.

Zoe's New Bonnets

2007-11-10T08:37:00.000-06:00

These are some new bonnets i found at a yard sale. They were $1 a piece!!! I love them so i bought 6 of them. Some smaller for the next baby girl and some for Zoe to grow into. They were made by a homemakers society in Ville Platte. They donated everything for this yard sale to benifit the nursing home my papa is in. I dont know if anyone has ever seen these in stores but i've seen them priced up to $40. And Thank God!!!! I got them for a dollar!!! Wow! I was totally pumped.I love this pic! I used to wear these as a child. My mom said that they never matched my clothes because they were made with scrap fabric that didnt match anything. They called them Gosolays. But i dont think that is the correct spelling for it. Erika, I bought a big one i wanted to send you for Maddie. Let me know if you're interested.

This pic is my absolute FAVE!!! She is so cute!! I love my little pink baby!!!

A fun Night!!

2007-11-10T08:19:00.000-06:00

This was for our church harvest party. It was a lot of fun. It was at a church member's home out in the country. Joel was a Ghetto preacher and I was his choir singer. Our kids were not exactly members cuz they were animals. Gabe had A LOT of fun running around with all the children that were there.

This is him and Raylee riding together on a 4 wheeler we had to take turns pushing. And somehow Gabriel lost one of his shoes outside and we still haven't found it. So he went around the rest of the night with only one shoe on. Talk about on dirty sock.

The night ended with a 2 and a 1/2 hour trail ride that I thankfully decided not to go on with my sleeping Zoe belle. So we left Joel and my baby monkey to catch a ride back home. The did not return until midnight. WOW! Now thats a trail ride.

Hanging Outside

2007-10-25T22:51:00.000-05:00

The days have been so pretty lately so we have been spending some time in the yard. It just got cool here and we have been loving it. I hope it stays this way for a while.

This pic is so funny. We were trying to get Gabriel to look at the camera and he stuck his finger up his nose! It was awesome.

Zoe and Mommy

Keonna's Costume Party

2007-10-25T18:13:00.000-05:00

This was for Keonna's party. Gabriel was a Monkey, Zoe was a Duck, and Joel and I were white trash. I wore white and stuffed trash all over and he just wore garbage bags. It was fun. The kids were so cute! I took them to see my Papa in these outfits today too. It was the nursing home's halloween party. They were the only kids there and all the residents went nuts over them. Then Papa pulled them around in their wagon. He was so proud.

Camping

2007-10-25T18:04:00.000-05:00

We took the kiddies camping. It was great fun! Gabe loved the tents and he wasnt even scared. Zoe ate a stick, I think. But all went well. Gabriel wanted to throw everything in the fire. He would eat his hot dog to the very end and then throw the end in the fire. Or he would have someone else throw it in. It was cute! and fun!!

time to BLOG!!!!!

2007-09-08T22:35:00.000-05:00

Its been forever!!!! Well mostly because my computer is broken and i only get to get online when Joel brings home his laptop. Which means ALL my wonderful pictures are stuck in there. I hope God helps me to get my computer un stuck. I have no idea whats wrong with it. IT SUCKS THOUGH!!! So i cant upload pics on Joels computer so I havent been blogging.

But my wonderful cousin ruth posted some pics for me and i'm blogging them because i really wanted to have something to write about. This is my sweet grandfather holding my baby girl. When we got to his house he was sitting on the carport and we walked up to him with the kids and he teared up. It was so sad and sweet. He loves them so much.

This is my Zoe Belle wearing the dress I halfway made her. My aunt charlene (bless her heart because i've been learning all her knowledge lately) did most of the sewing. I smocked it and did the handwork. It was so fun. I'm making another right now. Halfway done with the smocking.

some of my faves!

2007-08-21T22:10:00.000-05:00

I stole this idea from erika. It was a fun one.
These are in no particular order. Feel free to share yours.

1. Watching gabe and zoe laugh at each other. Gabes smile is priceless when he knows he is making his sister smile.
2. Love
3. Being in God's presence. Praise Dancing, Worshipping, or just soaking.
4. Taco Soup our vegetable soup and grilled cheese
5. Watching Gabe "pay" or pray
6. Being snuggly with my Joel
7. A good back tickling from my Joel.
8. Having a great time with family or friends.
9. A great picture
10. Watching my kids enjoy life, love, and family.

My Crazy Husband and My Crazy Ashlee

2007-08-15T07:39:00.000-05:00

My mom gave me some pants that she got for free and she wanted me to find someone at chruch to fit them. Well i dont know a guy that would be wear a 48x30. So joel and ashlee borrowed them at El Chicos. Cute huh!

Cute Cute Cute!!

2007-08-15T07:29:00.000-05:00

Zoe with her angel wings.

I'm sure every mom thinks that their kids are the cutest in the world, so no has to agree with me when i tell yall that my kids are the cutest in the world. I'm having a blast with my Gabriel and Zoe. They are always so happy and so cute. And they love each other so much. What more could you ask for. These are some of my new favorites.

The absolute best pic my kids have ever taken!!! I want a 50x30 or something like that.

Zoe turns six months!

2007-07-30T18:43:00.000-05:00

My baby girl is 6 months old. She did it on July 26 (which is also my anniversary). Way to go Zoe. You are getting so big and beautiful. I will be sending out 6 month pics as soon as the ones i took of Gabriel and her together come in. Wow. 6 months old. Time really flies. I think i should start kissing her more! Yes, definitely. Maybe its time for another.......huh?? I had two dreams this past week that we had another. Once it was just a pregnant dream but the other i was actually in the hospital having her and she turned out to be a 2 yr old. She was very cute. But she didn't have a name and i was outraged. All i could come up with was Molly. She just looked like a Molly. So i told Joel that we need to come up with some just in case names. He was like Whatever!

Outside fun

2007-07-17T14:10:00.000-05:00

I laughed at this picture for hours. He looks like an alien baby. I love it. I think it needs to be in a Nike add or something.

My children absolutely love being outdoors. And they love the water. FUN FUN FUN. So when they are both screaming their lungs out, we head outside.

Gabriel and his best friend Raylee

2007-07-17T14:06:00.000-05:00

Raylee's mom bought them matching shirts. It was cute. But then Gabriel pooped a little too much and turned his brown. So I'm glad we got the pictures right away. They are sitting in a window at church.

my cuties

2007-07-17T13:51:00.000-05:00

I know! Its been FOR-EVER!! Sorry. I had family over, youth trips, and barbeque. Then i have two cuties in diapers. Forgive me.

They are certainly getting bigger and better. Gabe is becoming a little man! He is still sweet and very well behaved (i have to brag). He goes to his room when he is punished and he knows not to come out till he is done crying. Its so cute and sad at the same time. But he listens and i'm proud of him. I pray Zoe comes along just as mannered. I'm sure yall are wondering about the hair cut. Unfourtnety, and much to my dismay, Gabe caught the lice from someone at church. He is much too friendly i guess. So instead of wrestling with a 1 1/2 yr old to keep him still we just shaved him. I was very sad. But he is still a very handsome boy

She is growing fatter! She has a nice double chin look going for her. She is doing a new thing with her lip. She looks like she is pouting but its just for fun. She can almost sit by herself and she is not far from crawling.

I got these georgous outfits Saturday. SO CUTE. I love them. I want to get their pics done in them. The were at a new shop I just found called heirlooms, etc. They were both 50% off!!!! So i got them for 20 a piece. And of course Zoe had to have the matching bow!!

Made with Love!!

2007-06-21T11:17:00.000-05:00

I made this dress by hand (because i dont have a machine) for Gabriel's best friend Raylee. It turned out really cute! This is the easiest thing to make. I cant wait for Zoe to be able to wear one. Check out Gabe in the background of the pic. I was gonna crop him out but it's funny!

My Two Hotties

2007-06-21T11:13:00.000-05:00

I absolutely love this picture. It is so sweet. They both look gorgeous in it. I'm not ashamed to say! I have some hot guys in my life.

Then they were dressed alike once again. I got these shirts from old navy. Too cute!!

Family Time

2007-06-21T11:00:00.000-05:00

Joel's family came for a visit. His mom, dad, and Mamaw. We had great fun with them. Gabriel enjoyed the company.

This is a picture of Four Genarations. Joel's Mamaw is so cute.

This is her with the kiddies. Check out Zoe. he he he.

Mamaw and Joel ready for church. They both ended up wearing lavender.

Elvis Returns!!

2007-06-21T10:55:00.000-05:00

Joel did an Elvis impersonation for our pastor's birthday party last night. He used a broom as a guitar. It was so funny. He was the skinniest Evis ever.

Gabe didnt really know what to think about it.

Going Nite Nite

2007-06-14T23:37:00.000-05:00

This is how i put my kiddes to sleep on nites that daddy is busy. I love it. Its fun to snuggle with my boy and my girl. It works really well too!

New Bathrooms

2007-06-14T23:28:00.000-05:00

I finally got around to painting my bathrooms after living here a year. But i do have an excuse, I wasnt allowed to paint because i'd been pregnant.

I love the bold colors. Very shocking, i know. . But sometimes you just have to take a risk. When you take a bath in the yellow room your water looks yellow. Kinda creepy. I love the green one . I am decorating with crosses all over the entire wall in this one, eventually. I havent found one yet. But it'll be something I collect over the years and each cross can tell a story about where i got it. I'm really excited about this.

Zoe Belle & Gaber

2007-06-14T23:16:00.000-05:00

It is so super duper sweet to see the way Gabriel loves his sister. He has never been hateful to her in any way. They were so beautifuly beautiful on this day. Zoe had on some cute ruffled tights and her first pair of size 1 shoes. Ruth make sure you mom sees Gabriel in this outfit. She'd like it cuz it was comfortable for him.
Sweetly holding on to my sissy

Gabriel really wanted to hold Zoe. And he held her for about 5 min. He would just touch her and kiss her and say awwwww.

And Zoe didnt mind. She hardly ever does, unless real pain comes along. To bad that they were sitting in an ugly spiderman chair. I guess i can black and white the pic to make it cuter. Then, when Gabe was finished he politely started pushing her off and went off to play.

All Alone

2007-06-14T23:11:00.000-05:00

You leave a kid alone for 5 minutes and you never know what can happen.

You could be a farmer in those clothes!

2007-06-14T23:03:00.000-05:00

Gabe and Zoe wore their matching osh gosh overalls the other night. So cute.

I had got both of these through donated clothes and the kids just happen to fit them at the same time.

People at chruch made the comment that it was the first time they say Zoe Belle in pants. LOL. I cant help it if she is a girly girl and she likes to twirl about in her beautiful dresses. I try to let her have a say so in what she wears...sometimes.

Tubes

2007-06-14T22:54:00.000-05:00

Gaber had tubes put in his ears and his adenoids taken out. Not the greatest experience as a parent. It started with a 5am wake up call. Then, once there he got to drink some "happy juice". It was the closet to drunk that he will ever be. He was definitely feeling woozy. He was funny. Then, surgery. Bye bye mommy and daddy : (. Then the most heart-wrenching was watching him come out of the anestassia. It was like he was asleep but screaming at the same time. Tear. But gladly it was all over at 9 and picked up Zoe Belle and we returned home.

Being that he was on Motrin and Tylenol around the clock he got to experience his first time falling asleep while eating.

I need to..

2007-06-13T22:52:00.000-05:00

I havent posted in a while. Dont have much time. Been painting, cleaning, planning youth summer thingys. I want to post so thats what this is. Me posting....a bit of nothing. But its a post no less.

This is a pic of me and my husband doing a dance to William Hung's version of I believe I can fly. We did it for our youth group. We were trying to bring inspiration!!

New Name

2007-06-01T21:07:00.000-05:00

Not that there is talk of another child or anything. But just in case I must have a name ready. I'm liking the name Lilla Kate. Both names mean Pure. Lilla comes from lily (the flower). A lily is the symbol of purity and Kate comes from Katherine which also means pure. I dont know about a boy name though. Been searching. Started liking Shiloh but Joel said that that something bad happened there in biblical times. I do like solomon though. That means peace. And i like Jesse and that means Gift. Really like Benjamin but i have a cousin name that. But he doesn't live around me. Just some thoughts.

But i'm also thinking that both my children have a root of christ in thier middle name. Chirst means annointed. So should that be a theme with my children? Use other names with christ in it for middle names. Like christopher, christian, christa, etc.

WDYT?

Keonna's Honor Nite

2007-06-01T21:00:00.001-05:00

Keonna is so smart so she got honored. Her hair was too cute. It was two upside-down french braids with the ends curled at top. She had a 3.8something. She also had an award for something else. That is Keonna's best friend Kassie. Summer was supposed to be in these pics but of course she ran off with a friend.

Going to Youth Nite

2007-06-01T20:50:00.000-05:00

We were going to church to hear daddy preach and I was taking their pics before because they were so cute! I told Gabriel to go stand on the wall to take his pic and he totally did it. He is so good! The other day I told him to go to his room because he was punished and he went for that too. I felt bad for punishing him after he was able to follow those directions.

Zoe was a cow girl. She was so cute with her little jean skirt and cowboy boots. (check out Gabe peeking in on the pic, lol)

Occupying Gabriel

2007-05-29T16:20:00.001-05:00

I was folding clothes and Gabriel was very interested. He wouldn't leave me alone so I dressed him up. He enjoyed it. He is wearing Ruth's NSU shirt, Daddy's socks on his hands, and Zoe's bathing suit bottom on his head.

Zoe is starting to want to crawl or at least move forward. She likes to be on her belly every once in a while. She has a little cleavage in this pic. I'll have to teach her about modesty.

Memorial Day Weekend

2007-05-29T16:00:00.000-05:00

We went to my Aunt Charlene's on Saturday. It was great fun! Almost the whole family was there minus a few. We enjoyed some good food (like always). Our family knows how to cook, yeah baby! We also had fun swimming and boating on the lake. She has the best house. Gabe was a hit with everyone. Gabriel was in the pool for hours and he loved the boat. He fell asleep riding on it with his daddy. Zoe enjoyed the fresh air and the jacuzzi. She got to meet the Davenport's for the first time. Ruth got to hang with her babies all day long. She was pumped. We took a lot of cool pics and we didnt want to leave. It was a great day!

Four Generations

2007-05-21T12:03:00.000-05:00

We went to visit my grandmother (Mawmaw Tootles) for Mother's Day. She is my mom's mom. So we had to take a pic of the four of us together. Mawmaw is 80-something, my mom is 50, i am 27 and Zoe is 3 1/2 mos.

My grandmother is the ultimate Mommy! She raised 12 (Ann, Althea, Larry, Lois, Melvin, Darrell, Gail, Terry, Cindy, Julie, Benji, & Nancy) of her own and did her part in helping with 70+ grand and great grand children. I nominate her for mommy of the decade!

Names

2007-05-17T22:02:00.000-05:00

I love finding out the meaning of a name. A name is so important. It is something used everyday of your life. It is spoken by people that love you and people you dont even know. It can even be spoken by an enemy. That can be a powerful thing for you if your name means something good. But maybe not so good if you name means something not so good. The bible says that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Prov 18:21). It also talks about speaking positive and how important a spoken word is. Just think all God had to do was speak and the world appeared. Things happen by spoken words.

Thats why I put a lot of thought into my children's names.
Gabriel Evertt Chi - God's Strong and Anointed Man
Zoe Christabelle - Life & Beautiful Christian or Beautiful Anointed
Every time someone calls Gabriel they are speaking that he is God's Man and when they say Zoe they are speaking Life. I'm thankful for my children's names. I think they are great. The best translation that I could find of my name is a strong spirit. Thats positive I believe.
A good website for finding meanings of names is www.behindthename.com or you could just do a search for baby names.

Looking forward to naming another baby!! If you need anyhelp let me know.

Daddy, Mommy, Gabriel, & Zoe

2007-05-17T14:11:00.000-05:00

These were taken before church. Gabe and Daddy were dressed alike.

I think every grandkid in my family has a picture on this tractor.

Gabriel's Sissy

2007-05-17T13:59:00.000-05:00

The first pic is something i did trying to keep Gabriel busy. I think I actually made more chores for my self by giving him two cupcakes. The next two pictures are what he does when i dont give him cupcakes. He loves his sissy. He is always tr

yin to give her her pacifier or give her sugar. And she lets him! I am thankful that he loves her. I'd rather him be kissing than hitting!

Mommy, Mama, Mom, Mother

I dont care which one my babies call me it all sound great. Even when i hear it every second Gabe is awake. Mama, Mama, Mama!! Being a mommy is one of the most important things in my life. I love the feeling of picking up a crying Zoe and watching her tears stop because of being held or the fact that sometimes only I can figure out what Gabriel is trying to say. I even love that i cant get though a whole blog without Gabriel needing to be in my lap.

Frazzled

2007-05-11T12:15:00.000-05:00

Do you ever feel like this? I did today. The phone rings, the baby cries, the other baby cries, the phone rings, i have to do this, i have to do that. WOW. I am definately frazzled today. But Gabriel is now asleep and Zoe should be soon...nope nevermind shes grunting. LOL. I do love my babies and i really really appreciate all my mommy did for me!

This was on Christmas Eve. Still loving the Saints!! Gabe was so happy this night. He had Aunt Holly and Maw Maw laughing all night. I know this is an old pic but its cute!! I'm at my moms and she has the kids and the pics were on her computer. Its nice to have a mom to watch the babies so i can post a blog. LOL.
