Oh the wonderful things Children Do : )

On Sunday I was conducting Relief Society and when I turned the time over to the teacher, I sat down in my chair and was really into the lesson. It was great. Then all of a sudden I hear Mom and I thought oh that is cute I wonder's who child that is. Then I hear Mom again and I realized that I am the Mom and that it was Isaac. As soon as I realized that it was Isaac he says very loudly "Mom I have to Poop!" I was so embarrassed! I got up so quick and all of the sisters are laughing. I felt so bad too because it totally disrupted the lesson. Yeah so needless to say there are no dull moments here. When I got out there in the hallway I told Isaac that next time to just come up to me and say it in my ear not to blurt it out like that. He said well Mom I have to go. I said yes but you can come tell me instead of telling everyone, okay. Then he agreed. It was funny but man so embarrassing. Good times : )

The power of Prayer is AWESOME!!!!!

As you all know we have been planning on having Malachi adopted for some years now. We had a lot of things that had us wait, one was Lim's citizenship,then him coming back from being deployed, and last but not least us getting settled. Lim is deployed again but Malachi is starting school in August! So we talked and figured hey lets just get the ball rolling. See what we can do until Lim is able to come home. So while I was in Washington I was over at Crystal and Britt's house and I started looking up lawyers. Crystal was helping me choose the right one. I called him earlier this week and had an appointment today. I went to his office and it was awesome. I said a prayer before I even called them and before I went in the office. It was AWESOME! He is a really nice guy and has been doing this for 20 plus years! Which is great! Then he said that we can have Malachi adopted in 30 to 60 days depending how long it takes for the publication! Malachi will be adopted before Lim comes home!!!! There are a few options that we can do either via phone call during court or by letter. I am so excited!!!! I can't wait!!! It has really open my eyes to how powerful prayer can be!!! Also to the tender mercies of our Loving Savior and Heavenly Father!!! I was so happy I was in tears as I was on my way home talking to my Mom! We are planning on being sealed on the 5th of February 2008. That was the day that Lim and I were sealed and we want that to be the day so that it will be our family anniversary!!!! What a Happy Day this is!!! I am so excited!!! I had to tell anyone and everyone!!! Yay!!! After he is adopted I will call the temple and set things up. We will be going to the Seattle Temple to be sealed for all time and eternity!!! : ) I can't wait!!!!!

Daddy's R&R 2008

Make a Smilebox slideshow

I have finally posted pics of when Lim came home on his R&R! It was a lot of fun but of course went by way too quickly!!! We met him at the airport and couldn't find him. I had a feeling that he was in the bathroom and sure enough he was. I saw him coming out and I was so excited I yelled hey babe, he just kept on walking! So I called him by his name and that finally got his attention! He didn't even recongnized me. It was so funny. I asked him what he thought when I said hey babe, he said " I know I am goodlooking and all but I am a happily married man!" He is so awesome! He makes me laugh. The boys were so happy to see their Daddy!!! I was happy to have my hubby home!!! It is funny we didn't get hardly any sleep but I had the best sleep while he was home. The pics that are in here are us in the airport and then random pics of us in California. We were in Santa Ana for the most part but then we went to San Deigo. Those would be the pics with the boys on the motorcycle. We had so much fun there. Just hung out with family. Then we met up with Lim's Dad. It was a lot of fun. I am very sad to say that I left my charger at home so I was trying to conserve my batteries and didn't take that many pics. : ( Lim's cousins have a ton so I will be posting more. The boys loved California, we all did. It was great seeing everyone!!! We ended up going to Sea World, China Town, and Hollywood! It was a blast! We had to visit the ER twice. Once for me and the second for Isaac. I ended up having a UTI that almost went into my kidneys, not very fun! Poor Isaac had strep throat which he must have caught on the plane or something because no one else had it! He was the only one. His fever didn't break until after we got home! We took him in on the Sunday, we left on Tuesday and his fever was still going! It finally broke I think it was Wednesday evening! Poor guy! He was a trooper though. Alma eat the entire time! From the moment he woke up to the moment he went to bed he was eating something! So he now has the nick name Munchie. Malachi played playstation two the entire time we were there. It was so funny to watch him. Gohan (his cousin and best bud) taught him how to play and he was really good at it. Lim and I loved being there and being with family! We all did. I will post some pics of Sea World soon. :)

Our Home Updated!!! :)

This an update on what our home looks like now. The boys were sleeping when I took the pics so I will be posting more pics of our home. I forgot to take pics of my washer and dryer. They too will come soon. Also there is a surprise at the end!!! I am so excited!!! Lim comes home in a few hours!!!! I am waiting for his phone call when he gets into Dallas!! I will go to church just for Sacrament meeting and then I will be home waiting for his call!!! I might just drive up there and wait for him! :) He is supposed to come in at like 4:30pm right now but hopefully he will get an early flight home :) I am so excited!!!! I know I have said that a lot! Lim has no idea that I chopped my hair off! All he thought I was going to do was a trim and we all know me I have never had my hair this short!!!! I figure since I lost the weight might as well chop my hair off for more of a surprise to Lim. Hehehe lets see if he recognizes me!!! Hahahaha. I can't wait!!!!! Enjoy :) Wish you all were here!!! Miss you guys!!!! Love you all :)

We are no more then dirt. :)

On Sunday we had a great lesson in Sunday school. I haven't been able to go to Sunday School in a super long time and I am sure that I will be getting a calling soon that probably won't allow me to attend very often so I felt inspired to share my feelings on our lesson on Sunday. The sister who taught is just awesome. She has a great knowldge of the Gospel and understands it really well. We were learning about how we are not better then dirt. She asked us how does that make you feel, knowing that you are no better then a peice of dirt and asked why that would be so important for us to know that. There was answers given, and then she said yes to make us humble. If we think that we are no greater then a piece of dirt, than it keeps us grateful as well. Instead of saying well I didn't get that or she has this that is better then mine or I want this so and so has that and I need it. The media has really been focusing on how we should be good to ourselves, have the best of the best. Get the top of the line stuff. Do what you want to do. The reason behind this is to get us to be jealouse, to envy one another, to have us be selfish! If we keep on remembering how we are no more then dirt it will keep us grateful for anything and everything that we have or that may come our way!!!! It is so true!! It is so easy to get caught up with what the worldly cares. To keep the right perspective would be to have an eternal one that leads you back to Heavenly Father. It really touched me and how she just was so filled with knowldge! It is so awesome!!! I Love Sunday School!!!! I learn so much while I am there!!! I just wanted to share that with you so next time you feel like you don't have anything, think about the house that you have, the food that you eat, the clothes on your back. For your sweet children and all the funny things that they do. For everything and when you keep that on your mind you can look at the world with a new love for our Savior. He has blessed us greatly!!! I know that these things are true and I am so grateful for such a loving Savior. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen. :)
