Is it really March?????

Wow, February flew by quickly!!! I am so glad to see March's arrival. Hopefully, that means that this crazy winter weather is long behind us. At this point the local weather man is delivering that for us. The week looks like each day we will be climbing up in the 60s with lots of sunshine! HOORAY!!! We have a few chances for showers later on this week, but the numbers are slim on that happening! It finally looks like Spring is upon us.

Saturday was a perfect day in my opinion. It was bright with sunshine around the mid 60s in temperature and the trees were still. We spent the day at my sister's. Byron and the kids hadn't seen Amy, Michael, and the girls since Christmas. They had an open weekend so we took advantage of it. We got down there a little before lunch. Michael made hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. They were delicious!!! The kids played indoors for a while and then went to the backyard to play on the trampoline. Later that evening we ate at a Mexican restaurant close to the Ft.Worth Stockyards. We played several games of Twister which was lots of fun. I hope that my sis doesn't post on Facebook all the pictures of us playing Twister, though. I guess since I don't have an account anymore I shouldn't be too concerned, huh?!?!?! It was a really great time just relaxing, laughing, and visiting together. The kids were exhausted by the time we left that night.

March is looking pretty busy at this point. We have several birthdays to celebrate this month, including Jackson's 3rd birthday. I am still debating on what we should do for his birthday. For the next 2 weekends the state tournament for Oklahoma basketball is taking place. So I am sure we will be making frequent trips to Oklahoma City to take in all the basketball games. Which we are really looking forward to seeing some great games and great teams play!!! I LOVE MARCH MADNESS!!!

Hopefully, through the busyness I can find time to blog. I really do think of blogging more often, but I just never seem to get that done. Maybe I will get better about that, but I guess only time will tell.

Other news, Jackson is doing super great with going potty. I think I can claim he is fully potty-trained! He woke up Sunday morning and first thing he said when he came into our room was "Mom, I need to go poop"! HA!HA! I took him into the bathroom and he did just what he said he had to do. He has now moved into wearing his underwear everywhere we go. Before I only allowed him to wear them at our house and at my parent's. Also, the past few mornings his pull-ups have been dry. I think the light bulb has finally come on in his head! HOORAY!!!

Jaycee is just so precious! She is really growing up. Its so nice to be able to talk and reason things out with her. We have had no problems with her toys anymore. She will have her bedroom in utter chaos everyday, but she cleans every single bit of it up most of the time without us saying a word. She is just a happy content little girl. She amazes me too for her passion to know more about God. She sings songs about God all the time. She actually "writes" her own songs. She will sit at the table with a piece of paper, scribble down "words" as she thinks of things to sing about. Then she will come to me with paper in hand and sing her songs! They bless my heart so much. It humbles me in my walk with the Lord, because it brings me back to having a child-like faith. That I don't need to worry about the things of this world or how I try to figure out in my own mind what God might do, but all I need is to have faith and trust that God will work everything out for not only my good, but for my family's good! How precious our children are and what a blessing they truly are from our Heavenly Father.
