A verse for today.

Isaiah 30:19
How gracious he will be when you cry for help.

This is from Blogger help.

Why can't I switch to Blogger in beta?

While the new version of Blogger is still in beta, some users with certain types of blogs will not be able to switch to it. We'll be adding support for these blogs as soon as possible, so everyone can join in the fun. But for now, if you have any of the following on your account, you'll need to hold off for a bit:

• A blog publishing via FTP to a non-BlogSpot server.
• A blog with a Plus upgrade (we stopped offering this upgrade a couple years ago, so this will not affect many people).
• ***A team blog.***
• A blog with a mobile device associated with it.

Note that, even if your blog is eligible to switch, you may not have the link to do so on your dashboard. We are starting out by just switching over a limited number of accounts, but we'll add more and more as time goes on. However, if you still want to try out Blogger in beta, what you can do is to visit beta.blogger.com and create a new account. Later on, you'll be able to merge this account with your original Blogger account.

Thanks for your patience, and we promise it will be worth the wait!

*This is why I havn't been able to switch yet I'm sure. I have 3 blogs attached to me. 2 of them team blogs!! So Liz, Mandy, Shari I know you were wondering!! Mystery solved!!

A verse for today

Phillipians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Sometimes I am my own worst enemy.

Usually I can have coffee in the evening and sleep no problem. Not so much last night. My mind wouldn't shut off, it kept spinning through all my worries and anxieties. Needless to say it was very very late when I finally got to sleep, then Payton was up twice after that. The last time she said her mouth hurt so we gave her some Tylenol and that seemed to help. I am so tired this morning. Today feels like a nap day!!

On a happy note, what finally helped me get to sleep was baby. Lots of movement last night, definite kicking!! He/She is definitely growing in there. Rod put his face on my stomach where I was feeling kicks and was rewarded with a tap on the lips, he was very excited!! So fun.

My cat is MIA.

I haven't seen my Cat in 2 days!! His breakfast from yesterday(wed) is still in his dish. That is very unusual.

I worry because it was 2 days ago I heard coyotes out back(Which Payton tried to explain to me were Dogs not coyotes, "Woof Mommy woof"). Hmmmm.....

Just for fun

I thought it would be fun to see what gender people think our baby is. Our ultrasound is scheduled for Oct when I'm 20weeks. I may call and try to change the time so I'll let everyone know when I know for sure when it will be. We will most likely find out the sex then, which is why I wanted to start the poll now. The midwife says that there is one technician at Med-Ray(which is where we are going) that won't tell you. So we have a 25% of not finding out!! So it may end up being a long poll if we can't find out!!

I guess only time will tell.

The poll is on my sidebar(on the right). I think it is working, please let me know if it isn't!

Yeah!!

My midwife appointment today went well. Everything seems good and we were able to find the heartbeat fairly easily. I'm so relieved. I may actually be able to relax a little now and enjoy. I think in the last few days I've been feeling some movement!! It's so slight and fleeting I wasn't sure at first but it's been consistent so I'm very excited!! I love feeling the baby move around inside, I think that's my favorite part of being pregnant. I LOVE IT!!

Beta Blogger

Just so all you out there know, not all of us have the option of switching over yet. For those of you who don't even know what it is, it is a new format blogger is switching over to. . It looks like it's going to be a good upgrade and yes eventually everyone will have to switch.

There is issue's with commenting back and forth between original Blogger and Beta Blogger. For instance: I who still hasn't switched can't comment on those who've switched. I beleive those who have switched are also having problems commenting on the originals. I think it will all iron out eventually but it is fustrating in the meantime not to be able to comment on the Beta Blogs.

I copied this from the blogger help page as I was trying to figure out what was going on.

Thanks for your interest in all the new features we've got coming up! The Blogger in beta program is going to start out small, so only a low percentage of people who log in to Blogger will see the option to switch over. If you're one of them, you'll see a blue box in the sidebar of your dashboard highlighting the new Blogger in beta. Click the "learn more" link there and we'll walk you through the process of switching your account.

I actually started a 2nd blog, with Beta Blogger using my google(gmail account) just so I could comment where ever I wanted. I'm not planning on using it, just having it for now. It's at

Gotta love the address.

I ponder as I walk along

Thoughts

Can be dangerous things, destructive beyond imagination. Really without bad thoughts we wouldn't have bad deeds right?

I've been thinking a lot about a couple things the last few days. One being about thoughts, we started reading battlefield of the mind in Bible study last week and I think it's going to be really good. Definitely give me something to think about.

The other being honesty, sparked by Steph. How honest am I really? It's relative I guess. If someone asks my honest opinion about something I'm going to tell them, I can't lie. But in reality if you ask me how I'm doing, your going to get a fine, or pretty good, which is probably not the truth. There are things that people do all the time that irritate me, or that I wonder at their motives but make the choice not to say anything because I know what the results will be. I guess I'm not all that honest after all, I used to be, now I think in the really real world people don't want to hear it?? I don't know, I guess I've got more pondering to do.

Anyways I'm sure both these things are going to morph into full blogs, but I'm not there yet.

Fun at the beach

Pretty easy but...Guess who??

Your so cute!!

Who is this??

Matthew 6, 25-34

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Hmmmm........

Rod has a cold. Payton sounds nasaly. I have a headache and feel exhausted. I think it could be one of "those" days.....

PIctures

I have sat down a few times in the last couple days to blog and the words just won't come. So I thought I would share some Pics from our Aquarium trip. It was a good time!!

Same old same old

We'll my companies gone :( The visit was much to short and I'm very sad they are gone. We had a lot of fun and some great visiting. I'll post some pics...sometime. I think I've been saying I'll post pics all summer and haven't!! I guess life will settle back into the regular routine, only I'm not sure I like the old regular routine. Yesterday and today have been lazy days, a little bit catch up on the house stuff and a lot catch up on rest. I'm so beat.

So my house is in a semi-balance or order and I refuse to let it get out of control again. It still needs a lot of help(organization, and decoration) but it does not look like a slob lives here and that makes me happy. Well.....is not telling you about the state of our bedroom lieing? Ok I re-phrase, our house(as long as you don't open our bedroom door) that is. Gutting out and downsizing the bedroom will be a BIG BIG BIG job, which I'm not mentally prepared for yet, let me catch up on my sleep then we'll talk. I was tidying last night before bed, you know doing that few dishes and picking up the toys off the floor when Rod asked me "when are you going to stop?", poor man doesn't understand my new determination to not let it get out of control again. I let him know "when it's done" and subtly let him know if he swept then it would be done quicker. I think I may end up a little neat freakish when this place is organized but that will be born out of living in a self created mess and knowing how of control it makes me feel.

So Steph, guess what I'm doing this week?? I'm making a schedule, yup I'm going all out. I need to write down things that need to be done each day in order to keep up on everything and not have it be a big deal. As well as keeping on top of when I have extra kids, who needs picking up, and my own appointments. I think I need to do a menu plan as well but that overwhelms me so I think I better start slow!!

Anyways, speaking of dinner I better go figure out what we're eating tonight. Have a good night everyone.

Princess Payton

The wedding was beautiful. A big congratulations to Aimee and Chris who are heading for their honeymoon today. I have to admit though my favorite part was watching my kid. She did so well!! After having nothing to do with walking the aisle during rehearsal she wasn't fazed a bit on actual wedding day. I didn't have to coax her or anything just sent her on her way. She walked all the way to the front and attempted to give the Priest her bouquet before thinking wait a minute what's going on here? Then went to find Dad. She was a trooper all day through lots of waiting, fussing, hot weather, and people trying to get her to do strange things. She asked repeatedly when the dancing was going to happen and could hardly contain herself through the first dances(which were bride/groom/family only). And my goodness, wasn't she the cutest thing??
