When the weight of all my dreams is resting heavy on my head- And the
thoughtful words of help and hope have all been nicely said- But
I'm Still hurting wondering if I'll ever be the one-I think I am
I think I am
Then You gently reremind me that you made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best the more I get the worst.
And I realize the good in me is only there because of who you are
And all I ever have to be is what You've made in me
Anymore or less would be a step out of your plan
As you daily recreate me help me keep in mind that I
only have to do what I can find and All I ever have to be is
what you made me.


*This I think is a song, it was given to me sometime during college and I still like it.

Anatomy of a date.........



Well what i am referring to is our night last night. Jesse and I decided to take the girls swimming at the YMCA, and I decided to treat myself and my Husband to a miniature date. By that I mean we stopped at Starbucks and use one of the gift cards that I got for Christmas to get us some coffee and then when we got to the gym we checked the kids into daycare and for about 30 minutes we enjoyed uninterrupted conversation. It was nice! sometimes its so hard to find that moment when its quite to really dive into things or catch up on daily life or just gaze into each others eyes. After our little date we continued our time together taking the girls swimming which they loved. Sierra has no fear of the water healthy or otherwise and decided that it was in her best interest to jump backwards, going underwater,trying to float all done before coming back up for air. Allowing her the space to learn from her mistakes but being close enough so that she is still safe is a thin line sometimes.

Hospital Visit...Daddy.... Nesting and Sissies

This picture of me is the most recent picture I have of me being pregnant. It was taken at Sacred Heart on our way home from a false alarm. My Dr. Recommended that we go get check because I had some really bad pain followed by weakness. The Resident Doctor sent me home with some reservation because of my past history of quick labors. That was Thursday, this is Sunday and I am still pregnant


well these days are filled with uncertainty and energy, not mine rather the girls have a ton of energy these days. With me feeling tired we haven't been leaving the house as much, and so
when we do the girls go crazy running, and jumping, laughing and screaming. Its pretty funny!
Aaliyah has been waking up and getting into bed with us for the last month or so, which is okay I don't mind but I have been worrying a little bit about how i am going to get her to sleep all night in her bed again, we have a baby coming. Yikes! She has been waking up scared and crying and I have been praying again bad dreams and over her room but I don't know what is up.

I have always had a soft spot for that bad boy, Once when Jesse was working at Guitar Center on Halloween he got a moehawk hair cut, and I thought it was so Hot.... Here he is again just proving that he still has it in him...

Finally, my nesting instinct is still in full force and what a force it is. At times it takes everything in me to sit down, remember to eat and drink my water. I feel this urge, drive , need really to get everything clean, organized, and ready. Things are beginning to get where I want them to be. This picture is of the infant car seat that my girlfriend Alysia gave us-- Thank you again!! I am so blessed.

We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas....



Being pregnant during the holidays helped me to see my favorite time of the year in a whole new light. Sure i was tired and grumpy but I also saw some of the joy and wonder that children see in Christmas. I am amazed at the things that my girls say and the observations that they have regarding Christmas. I enjoyed spending time with family and friends over this holiday season- our festivities begin early with a special Christmas day spent with my mom and Luke this time was spent eating yummy foods, sharing a moment and opening presents. Then 4 days later we (The Weaver) did our own Christmas. We made sugar cookies for decorating, and drank special sparkling apple cider in mommies glass cups, and than it was time for presents. The Girls enjoyed ripping open the packages to see what treasure are in side. Two days later we left for Yakima and enjoyed several days with family. This time is always a bit hectic but lots of fun. I thought alot about the meaning of Christmas and really wanted the girls to understand why we celebrate Christmas but i realized that there is a time and place for everything. We sang happy birthday to Jesus !

A new member of the Weaver Family........blogs

HAH!!! You thought I was gonna say we had our baby. Nope sorry, that was just a warm up for me. This is just my announcement of the Weaver families new photo blog "A Resolution." The whole idea for starting a new blog is I want this current Weaver family blog to stay uncluttered with the daily posts. OK, so here's the deal. I want to take and post a picture every day. There will be more explanation on the actual site, but that is the general idea. I think it will be a fun project, and definitely a challenge for me.

I see it as a one picture glimpse into our lives that will be a lot of fun to look over at the end of the year or just to keep track as we go. Wish us luck!

In Light of the New year.........

I became very thoughtful at the transition of this new year and began to grasp how blessed we have been over this last year. Sometimes it seems that as my children grow, and my daily routines continue and multiply I don't reflect on myself or how things are going with us. In God's great provision and mercy I can honestly say.. "All is well with my soul". Things have been hard, and financially we have been tight but we are pulling out of that slump, I can absolutely see a light at the end of the tunnel. The lord's hand is upon us and we will follow him any way that he leads us. Jesse enjoys his job and assures me that compared to other similar jobs he's is a good one. I sometimes get lost in the conflict or drama of something and fail to see the good in it. I am trying to refocus my self so that i can see the good much easier.
I am so thankful for my family-- my girls are growing strong and learning valuable life lessons. They bring such joy to our lives, that at times my heart aches at the possibilities this fragile world lends us, and treasure the moments with them as priceless. I do not take raising children lightly, and I can only pray that I am doing my best by these young lives God has entrusted to us. He continues to show me the way...
I praise God for my Husband, even though at times it is so hard to get past all the chaos, noise, and distractions to spend meaningful time with him. I am thankful that we thrive, grow and change in our relationship and as parents daily. As we try to walk in obedience to God and what He is calling us to do i pray that it will only draw us closer in this new year.
We are looking forward to introducing our new little one this year, and hope that our friends and family will continue to support us with prayers, love and help because as you all know or kinda know having a new baby can bring a lot of stress to a family.
Likewise, my heart swells with pride and anticipation for the birth of my(from one of my brothers) first nephew Micah who is expected to arrive January 21. I am overjoyed but also sad that i won't be able to meet him only hours old, My older brother Sheaden and his wife Kimberly live in California.
