Merry Christmas

Look what her Daddy bought her...

Jilly LOVED the paper more than anything else haha

Hi Mommy!

Well our first Ryan Christmas with Jillian went wonderful. She got lots of wonderful gifts from everyone. Although I think her favorite gift of all was the PAPER!haha. She loved it! We had a great weekend at home with Charlie. It was so great to spend 4 days with him instead of 2! Charlie bought Jillian a little car for her to ride on..(though she isn't quite ready for it yet) It was still so cute. Her grandma and great grandma spoiled her rotten..as usual.haha. And some of the pics are just for fun that kinda happend over the weekend..like her driving and her standing up. She is just getting so big it is hard to believe. She is going to be 1 in like 3 months! Charlie and I had Date Night on Saturday..it was great. We went and saw the new Chipmunks movie..it was adorable..and this week we are going to go to dinner! I am so blessed to have Charlie in my life and I love him so much! We got lots of great things for Christmas..I got a new Crockpot from my mom which I needed so desperatley because mine broke..and I got a new coffee pot from Charlies mom..which I also needed really bad. Plus I got the first season of One Tree Hill..which is my new favorite tv show. Charlie got lots of great things..I bought him a game he wanted and some clippers so cut his hair..and he let me! He looks so handsome again.haha. Anyway..I hope everyone's Christmas was as great as ours. I wish you all the best blessings and may God Bless you in this New Year!

We need Prayer..now more than ever

Well Charlie and I have been struggling financially the last couple of months, but these last two months have really caught up to us. We seem to be struggling even more. We are trying to refinance our mortgage for a cheaper payment, and it just seems like B of A doesn't want to work with us. They lowered our payment a whole $150. So instead of a $1150 payment its $1000. Still way too high for us. And now we are trying to maybe trade in our Mustang for a cheaper more economical car and I'm afraid we might be upside down it. I've been on the phone and internet all morning trying to configure ways for us to make it. If we can't make our house payment or car..we are going to lose them both. Charlie is so stressed out and I feel so bad for him, he is doing his very best to provide for his family and its just not enough. We have too many bills and not enough money coming in. There is a good chance we are going to try to short sell our house and go back to an apartment. And we could get our car repoed. I have been praying every night hoping God will interfear with our finances. But I think He needs more than just my prayers. So please...just pray for us. I am so scared and trying to find a job to help pay for all these bills and I don't want Charlie to feel inadequate or stressed out the way he has for last couple of months. So I just ask that you say a little prayer for our family..and in return if anyone needs anything or any prayers for anything..please let me know and I will be there to pray and show my support for all of you. Thank you and God Bless all of you.

Jillian and Carden

Well Charlie and I just got back from SL today..we had a great trip..kinda long..but great. We watched Albert and Ricky wrestle and they both won all their matches..so that was great! Way to go guys! Jillian did really well..got passed around alot!haha. But she did great..I was so proud. Next weekend its Moon Valley!yay. After the wrestling we went to Charlie's cousins' house and Jilly met Carden..(she's met him before but they were real little) Carden is Jilly's second cousin..he is just the cutest little thing..(well after Jilly that is..haha) They were both kinda cranky because it was late, but they talked to each other and it was just a really nice visit. We miss them so much! But here are just a few pictures of them..you'll have to excuse Jilly's "hat hair" haha..she had a beanie on because it was soooooo cold.lol. Hope everyone is well; and Merry Christmas!

My Big Beautiful Nakie Girl

These are just some adorable pictures I took of Jillian while she was in the tub last night. She has just grown so much and now sitting up like a big girl and just splashing and playing away. Already 8 months old..I just can't believe how fast the time has gone. I just grow to love her each day and I love seeing all the new things she does and discovers. I hope no one gets offended that she is nakie...I just love nakie pictures and you can't see anything...hopefully you will think they are adorable like I do.haha. Well hope everyone is well...and Merry Christmas!

Well Friday night I went up to Show Low, by myself! (what an experience) Charlie took Jilly May to a wrestling tourney up in Flagstaff to watch her Uncle Ricky and Albert. They boys did really well; Ricky took first and won outstanding wrestler and Albert took second. Good job boys! I guess Jilly did really well, Charlie said she got passed around.....ALOT.haha. Everyone stood in line to hold her haha. Needless to say Daddy and Jillian had a great time and got to bond which I think is just wonderful. I went to Show Low because my mom invited me to the Torreon Tea. Its where alot of the Christian Church's on the mountain get together and they have singing, fellowship and a guest speaker. It was such a powerful message. The guest speaker this year was Nancy Stidham who was a teacher at Blue Ridge High School. She told us some stories about how she became to know the Lord and how he has blessed her and worked through her life. It was just wonderful and I really walked away feeling so blessed. And she just really opened my eyes and helped me to pray about the proticals and trials that we have in our lives. It was such a powerful message and I am so glad I went. The food was fantastic! We had an Asian chicken salad, pumpkin cranberry muffin and pumpkin pie for dessert. We sang songs and the girls who performed were great; it was just such a blessed time to visit with everyone and we had 150 ladies show up this year. (forgot to mention its just ladies that go)haha. Well anyway, all in all we had a great weekend, and even though Charlie and I were only away from each other for the night, we really missed one another and I just want to thank God for bringing him to me. I am truly so blessed and can't thank God enough for blessing me with such a wonderful family. And may God bless all of you!
