Did I already say that they grow soo fast?

I was just chillling sitting down in the kitchen having a cup of coffee and I look over to Micah, who was playing with the paper plates, cups and plastic utensils in the cupboard, making a HUGE mess and I just said, "Thank you Lord for a beautiful healthy baby." I probably would've reacted differently back then by putting all the stuff back and tripping out on the mess, but I didn't, I just watched her there...smiling. Maybe I should've took a picture of her making a mess in the kitchen but I wasn't thinking of it at the moment so I just decided to post other ramdom pictures of her. I just can't belive she's 14 months already! I guess having 2 grown teenage daughters makes me notice MORE the different changes in Micah and I appreciate it more because I know moments like this don't last forever. I keep it saying but I'll say it again...they grow soo fast!

I LOVE my iPhone!

Sigh...they grow soo fast...

She always loved to talk away...I love the babbles of a baby.

Shopping

Where me and Micah practically live! She just loves being in the shopping cart because she knows when we go here, it means she's going to get some food. No, really...she knows! This girl loves to eat eat eat. Aah, my little chucky monkey, I'm gonna miss her at this age. They grow sooo fast, whaaa!

Haters by Maya Angelou

Haters by Maya Angelou

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least.

Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...

That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed...It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?

You never know what people have gone through to get what they have...

The problem with haters is that they see the glory, but they don't know the story....

If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!

We've all got some haters among us!

Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb (if he / she isn't about the right thing)
e) Raise your children without both parents being in the home

Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side.

How do you handle your undercover haters?

You can handle these haters by:
1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are (VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled.

A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

3. By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human manipulation.

Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when it’s your time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived mylife and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME!

When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at me...Look at Who is in charge of me...'

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.' (one of my absolute most favorite quotes)

I read this in an email, thought it was very cool. Something I do not want to be and if I do come across anyone like so, I'll just remember what Maya wrote. You go Maya, tell it like it is!

Lobster Night @ The Boathouse

Ummm Mike, didn't your mom teach you not to play with your food? And that's what I remember when I married him. Always making me laugh! Love him.

I love it when...

I love it when Mike tells me this story about when he was a little kid. He would always start off with a pouty, whinny voice, and a sad look on his face ( but of course he's just acting, it's just so funny). Then he would say, "I remember when I was little and I had this thing in boy scouts where we had a race with our boats, and then I won, but my mom and dad weren't there to give me the award and so they had to have another parent do it." Then he would have fake tears running down his face (he can actually cry on cue). So hilarious but cute. I would laugh every time! Haahaha!
