A Couple Tinslea Stories

A couple Tinslea stories...

Saturday she got into my mascara while I was trying to get dressed. I told her to go look in the mirror and wash her face. Forgetting I had told her this I went on with my business and Josh came into the room about 10 min later and said go look in the bathroom....Tinslea had carried a chair from her bedroom into the bathroom, climbed on the counter and was brushing her teeth with....hair gel!!

Tinslea refuses to believe that she's 2. You tell her 2 she says 3. Lastnight we were sitting in the livingroom talking..

Me -Tinslea how old are you?

Tinslea - 3

Me - How old is Daddy?

Tinslea - Daddy 21 Mommy 21

Jodi - How old am I Tinslea?

Tinslea - 3

Jodi - No Tinslea I'm 21

Tinslea - No "yous" 3 my Daddy 21

Now that HAD to make you SMILE : )

What if His People Prayed

As I sit here pondering a huge decision (about work) all I can think about is prayer. Am I basing my decision on what my mind is telling me or am I following what God wants me to do? I’ve decided to completely let it go, pray about it over the weekend and by Monday, hopefully he will have given me peace and I will make not only make the right decision for myself but also my family. I believe in all my heart his will will be done. He will not lead me in the wrong direction, I just need to have the faith to leave it up to Him.

Wonder what things would be like if we turned it all over to him? What IF His People Prayed???

2nd Annual Hayride

10/10/09 Josh organized his 2nd Annual Hayride at Grandma Linda's. This year we expanded and invited more people. As you can see below we had quite a few to attend -and some weren't even in the picture.
Those who attended:
Grandma Linda, Poppi, Uncle Allen, Kathy, Markus, Bethie, Jessi, Charlie, Jake, Hunter, Chad, Amber, Taylor, Dad, Jodi, Josh, Myself, Tinslea, Aunt Sue, Amy, Scott, Angie, Tyler, Alison, Lloyd, Melissa, Heather, Seth, Jeremy, DD, Ava,Jon Aronld and Leann.
Anyone who knows Jessi - knows she likes to scare people! Well, she hid on the side of River Road waiting for us to drive by and jumped out and scared us - well not really everyone was expecting this b/c when Jessi didn't ride along everyone knew she was up to something (esp. after last year). So after she jumped out she got on the wagon and we were riding along and she jumped off and ran around the back of the wagon and scared Tyler - This was the funnies thing ever - Tyler's exact words were "OH SH*T!!!!!!!!!!" Poor little Seth was a little disturbed by the "monster" a week later at our house he was still asking where the "monster" was.
We all had a wonderful time, enjoyed some delicious food/desserts and most of all just being together!



OH and just wanted to let everyone know that if you see our child - NO we haven't lost our minds!! She has been having a difficult time lately and we aren't sure why but we are trying our hardest to figure out why and pick our battles with her. She is 2 1/2 and has always slept in her own bed until lastweek, now she is sleeping with us. I honesly think this whole Halloween thing has her shook up. Melissa took her down the Halloween isle at Walmart and since then she's been in the bed with us. Dad and I also took her to look at costumes but she wouldn't even look at them - she was scared to death! Yesterday we were playing in her new playhouse and she all of the sudden said "there a monster outside" then opened the door and said "go away monster". So anyways we are dealing the best we know how...and that's giving her her way LOL. This morning she decided she wanted me to take her to school so as I was getting her dressed she said she wanted to wear her princess gown (Joline the one you sent us). Guess what I LET HER! She wore her purple princess gown, jeans, socks and nike shoes to school!!! It just wasn't worth the battle!

He Knows My Name

One of my favorite songs!! I tear up each time I hear it. I've listened to it over and over the past few days, it seems to be helping me get through each day. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Jackson's Orchard

On Sunday Josh, Tinslea, Jodi and I took a lil trip to Jackson's orchard. Tinslea LOVED it!!!

I think the llama was making a noise she obviously thought it was funny.

Giving someone the EYE

Enjoying an apple cider slush!!

Minor Surgery for Josh

Josh went back to the Dr. on Wednesday about the stone in his mouth. They did a CT scan on it about a month ago – the Dr. told him that he just wanted to see how big it was and surgery to remove it would be optional. Well, now surgery isn’t optional. The stone is the size of like 2 peas – Which Dr. Sims said is very large. They will go in through the inside of his mouth to remove it and if they can’t get it that way they will have to cut the outside of his neck. Dr. Sims told him that since it’s so big that would make it easier to get from the inside. Josh says this is really no big deal and he doesn’t like to call it surgery – but just say a little prayer for him Oct. 30th!
