Yesterday Lillie got fitted for some low profile braces that go up to under her ankle! They are to help correct a couple of things For lillie 1. her arch and 2. to help correct her favoring her left side more then her right when standing , jumping, running ext..Its really neat to see how they custom make these braces to fit perfectly to her feet. He put a cast on both feet and then took a saw to get them off,and Lillie was having a blast when they took them off because the saw was tickling her toes from the vibration.Lillies physical therapist Julie came also to just be there and to help me understand what they were doing and why! which was really sweet of her and just a blessing to me to know that she cares! Then after Lillie was fitted for her braces we headed over to physical therapy with Julie.Usually I don't go back with Lillie but I did yesterday because I didn't have addison or anthony with me.I was able to see and watch Lillie and take pictures It was fun to see how she works with Julie and it was so funny to watch her because she acts totally different then at home!I don't think mommy and daddy give her enough credit:) ya!!! Lillie is a smart little cookie!so thank you lord for letting me see that!!It was a good strengthening and growing time for lillie but it was time for speech so off we went to speech therapy with kelly!!I usually don't go back because Lillie gets distracted and doesn't do what she is suppose to do!Kelly as well as julie and tina(occupational therapy)have been such a blessing to my heart they have been helping Lillie since she was 5 months old and they love her very much!these women have not just been Lillies therapist but have become friends they have been helping Lillie to walk better,helping her body get stronger, talk better,eat better,learn better,and helping lillie to go forward in her process of growing.I truly thank God for Lillie and the way he created her!I cant begin to tell you how God awesome God is. I love going to lillie's therapy each week I get to worship him in song and prayer!I get to teach my children about Gods creation as we drive and see trees, cows,sheep,and tell them about how great our God is!I praise God for this is his plan for our family full of medical conditions because he is changing all of our hearts in the process to the point of my children having a compassion for people who are sick or in wheel chairs, and it because they see there sister and all the kids that come to therapy.I could go on for days on how thankful Iam to God for his work in us.long story short I enjoy worshiping and praising his name and I don't think I would at home as I do in That car I live in.

My Big Girl Addison!!
So I decided that I would start my new blog on Addison!but before I did I thought I better go to the bathroom before I start,and not to my surprise Addison walks in to the bathroom to right behind me!let me remind you that before I went to the bathroom I was on my computer,and little miss Addison well she had her learning computer right next to mine,and she was on hers as well! so back to the bathroom, she walks in ,and I say " honey can I go potty by myself please" and she says"but mommy I just wanna hang out with you" and I said "well you don't need to follow me everywhere honey" and she said "yes I do mommy I want to be with you because I love you alot". honestly I was bugged that she followed me into the bathroom but after hearing that from Addison it changed my heart,and it made me laugh.Its amazing how the lord uses our children to change our hearts in just the Little things in life.
So as you can tell Addison loves to be with mom everywhere I go!I love how she cracks me up everyday! Addison is full of energy and never sits for more then 5 min, she is my child who believes life is full of fun, if she is not acting like a horse she is a cat,dog,bear ext...she makes songs up when we are driving in the car,and has a imaginary family to. Addison loves her dog areial , and wants to go out in the back yard to play with her in the pouring rain!Addison is also a sweet heart as well she plays with Lillie and treats her like a baby its funny to watch her. Addison loves to help out with cooking ,not much cleaning but were working on that.Addison is fun to be with and loves to have fun that's for sure.Addison has found a new found love to do thanks to her cousin Kalani , and that's dress up!! she loves it alot.Wow!!! God is so good to our family and me as a mom I thank GOD for these little children they are precious to my heart and drive me crazy but I couldn't ask for more cause God has given me more then I could ask for with my children.

My little man!!
I thought I would share how each one of my children means so much to my heart this week, and tell you what I love so much about them.So my son asked me why he wasn't on my blog yet so i chose to blog about him first! that way he can see himself in the morning. so Anthony just had his 4th birthday, and he was so excited to be 4,and couldn't wait for his birthday party.Anthony loves lego's, and enjoys creating new things with his little lego's!I have been really enjoying my only baby boy!I thank God for him and the joy he brings me each day! His little raspy voice always asking mom for juice, or a snack every 5 min! at least that's how it feels:)his sweet personality, and the sweetness he shows to his baby sister is so cute! Anthony is so protective over her, and is always making sure Lillie is happy whether we are driving in the car or just playing around the house.Anthony loves to help mommy, and daddy with anything we will let him help with.The smile and excitement on his little face when he is able to help is so cute and it makes me smile!I love to see him grow in each stage and praise God for his sweet life, and the time he has given me thus far with my son what a little blessing he is to me, and I love him so very much that I squeeze him! what is funny is he knows when I want to squeeze him!! cause he runs, and cracks up, and says "no mama don't squeeze me"!!!I cant help it he so stinking cute!!

Waiting!!!
Just wanted to share this with you something a dear friend gave me in bible study one day ! Its has always been encouraging to me as I would wait for answers concerning Lillie whether it was a blood test result or to just knowing why Lillie is little! and As we continue to wait! I really love this Little reminder!!
"Waiting on God isn't about the suspension of meaning and purpose. It's a part of the meaning and purpose that God has brought into my life. Waiting on God isn't to be viewed as an obstruction in the way of the plan. Waiting is an essential part of the plan. For the child of God, Waiting isn't simply about what I"ll receive at the end of my wait. No,waiting is much more purposeful, efficient, and practical than that. Waiting is fundamentally about what I"ll become as I wait.God is using the wait to do in and through me exactly what he promised. Through the wait he's changing me. By the means of the wait he's altering the fabric of my thoughts and desires. Through the wait he's causing me to see and experience new things about him and his kingdom.And all of this sharpens me, enabling me to be a more useful tool in his redemptive hands."
