Happy 1st Birhday Malachi!!!- September 18th






We had a very exciting weekend! Malachi turned one on Thursday!! Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy!! He had a dinosaur cake (made with cupcakes) complete with a volcano-that's what the red and white part is :) He even had his own little cake the size of a muffin, and loved the icing. He ate every bit of icing off his cake. We celebrated his birthday on Sunday and invited some close friends (Rodney and Shawna's parents and Sister) over for some cake. Malachi really didn't know what all to think about this singing and doting on him all day...more than usual. He blew out his candle! He happened to cough right when we were finished singing Happy Birthday to him. I will attempt to post the video...but it is 5 mintues long! So we will see how that goes.
Donovan has his firefighting tests tomorrow. He also went in today to fill out paperwork for YouthBridge (an organization that helps troubled teens). I have been back at WalMart now for 2 1/2 weeks, so far, it's been pretty good! The newspaper route is over on Saturday!!! Malachi continues to grow and learn new things. He is walking so well now. I love taking him outside, or to the store and letting him wander around. He looks so cute hobbling around. I better take advantage of his slowness while it lasts, I hear once they figure out how to run, they never stop...kind of like learning to talk! ChiRho continues to be a learning experience and growing experience for all of us. Please pray for ChiRho and the growth of His kingdom! All seems to be falling into place here on the Golden front. Any advice about starting a church??? Shoot it our way!!

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
