We Had BRUNCH and a MOVIE

What happened to dinner and a Movie. Well Saturday we all woke up about 9:30 when my loving husband opened every blind in the house letting the bright sun in. It was so cold in the house that he was just trying to warm it up. So we all get up and we were all bundled under blankets when Paul says you guys want to watch a movie. Of course we did but nothing would top it off more than pancakes with the movie. So we went to the store and got the makings. As I was making the pancakes my mom called and I left the pancakes on the griddle. I aske Paul the take them off and put more on. I came back to the pancakes and look there was a heart. How sweet. Brunch and a heart I felt loved. So we got bacon, sausage and pancakes done and ate and watched Alvin and the chipmonks. Then later we went to the mall and walked around. We had some sales people giving us a hand massage wouldn't take no for answer then tryed to sell us the stuff we said no. Then after our walk in the mall and crazy sales people, we came home and watched Wall.E. Funny movie you should watch it. See in all of our crazyness God gave us one good day for us to have Family Day it was great. Charish the moments watch movies with the kids. Don't send them to the other room to watch something else why you watch you TV show. Make it a family event.

Where Did I Go

I have not posted in a couple days. I have been a little busy. "well silly that no excuse to keep anyone waiting". Well let me show you and tell you what I have been up to. First of all the tire in my van popped, and we had to go tire searching and money searching and sanity searching. HAHA! My husband had to call in sick cause there was no way to work. My cousin Justin came to our rescue and took my hubby to the store to get a crow bar. I was very thankful. JuJu to the rescue. So we were able to change the tire to a donut. On top off all this a had an enormous headache, migraine whatever it was.I felt like the world was coming to an end what could happen next. Well thankfully we found a tire at the junk yard the next day. Yea tire problem fixed. Yea right so we thought. It would have been fixed had the whole at the bottom of my drive way not been there to pop the tire again. So we were on the interstate when everything came to a stop Traffic Jamm What could happen next we get a flat tire. Ok so I am so upset about this tire thing standing on the side of the interstate on a cold day not fun. There is good in everything though I am thankful the traffic came to a stop otherwise we would have been going at least 55 mph hour and I don't even want to know the results if that were the case. See God does take care of us we just have to be thankful for the little things and stop looking for the big sign because its right there in front of you. Something big is alway all the little things put into one then it be. We were little once and thats when we thought things were peaceful. Know that we are big we have to look at the little things for oue peace.

In the middle of all this tire mess the kids and I tried to keep on our learning track keeping to our schedule. Ok we don't have a schedule but were learn something everyday. I was teaching Mikey long vowels and short vowels and the diference between them both. ( i was teaching myself to) Anyways while all of this crazy tire mess was happening I was questioning him about long vowels and short vowels ( just in case you didn't know a long vowel make its own sound and a short vowel doesnt). I asked Mikey if the vowels in Paul were long vowels or short, He sai " the L makes it a long vowel because it makes it own sound listen pauLLLLLL." I corrected him and told him that L was not a vowel while I was trying to contain my laugh and he says But mom if it were a vowel. It was the laugh I needed during this crazy tire mess. And Camille has been doing a lot of dishes this week I am so greatful for them both. God works through us and through our children so don't blow them of because you think you don't have the time you day is hecktic enough without there sillyness. Well there sillyness is Gods way of helping you have a smile on your face.

Grandmas Day Out

This was Grandma Sleeping. She is the center of the long and extended Allen Family. She is one of Gods gifts to this family. Her favorite song is "This is the day that the Lord has made". When we were kids she would drive us to church every Sunday. We would always sing this is the day. The other songs were "If Your Happy and you Know It", " Jesus loves me" , "Hes got the whole would in hios hands" and many other fun songs. She always knew how to have fun. She has brighten my life and my childrens life. I hope that God watches over her as she is struggling with her health.

When I was four I broke my arm and my grandma sat by my bedside in the hospital to give my parents a brake. Then ( i don't remember how old I was) when my parents both had strep throat at the same time she came and babysat us four girls to help them out. No winning or complaining she just did it because she loved us so much. She has become mine and my childrens best friend. The food pantry is dedicated to her at the church. Every year for her birthday and for christmas she would ask for food for the food pantry. She was always thinking of everyone else. And today before I left her house I stood the children beside her and took a picture and she said what she said to us growing up " A bushell and a peck and a hug around the neck". It was a happy peacefull visit. God told me she's going to be ok. Just by the smile on her face.

I am in Time Out (can't you tell)

I am Jasi Nicole. I am supposed to be in time out but look at me. Not on my bed but in the laundry basket instead. Aunt Sandy came to say good buy and found me. I am silly. Love you all.

Celebrating Life

Meet Mikey

Mikey is now six years old. he was born August 17th,2002. Last year on November 17th( yes one year ago today) Mikey was hit by an F350. The worst call a mother can get at work. This day started of as a normal day. I left and went to work and later that day my husband droped the kids of with my mom ( about 2:30). I was at work and we were pretty busy, when I recieved the phone call a mother never wants to receive. My mom was watching the kids and went inside to get Camille( my daughter some water) when Mikey went in the street to get the cat. He was hit by a truck. My mom called me at work about 3:15 and ask are you able to leave work. I got a scared feeling in my gut. then I said slowly why?. She replied I think hes going to be ok but Mikey was hit by a truck. I imediatley droped the phone leaving my customer and screamed my son got hit by a truck I got to go. Running out the back door of the shop. I the flew down a 25 mile an hour street @ 80mph. No gas in my tank me and God started talking. I made it to my moms house right before the ambulance left and saw my little boy laying there saying I wanna go home. We arived at the hospital and waiting for test took forever it had seemed. The Doctor came back and said Ok the good news is there is no broken bones and the bad news is that he had bleedinging in the head and they were going to send him to the childrens hospital. I was a mess but he was worse. Poor guy. This was the worst and the best day of my life. The doctors kept himm in ICU over night and then when the tested him in the morning the bleeding started going down. He was in the hospital for five days and released. By time he left the hospital he had the nurses wrapped around his fingers. It was amazing hit by a truck and survived to tell about it. God definetely played a part in this miracle. Out of the hospital to celabrate thanksgiving. A thankful one indeed. Mikey is one on Gods many miracles. And today I celeabrate his life and everyone elses life. You never know when it will be you time to leave this earth so don't take advantage of it. There is always positive in everything. No matter what the situation. That is why I say that this day was the worse but best day of my life. I trueley accepted God on this day. Anyone who saves my sons life deserves my belief and faith in them. If I had any doubts about God they are all gone. Mikey chose to accept God in his life on August 17th 2008, his sixth birthday. He was baptisted by his choose. Now today and everyday we should celebrate Life.

MONSTER TRUCK SHOW SOLD OUT!

A year ago when Mikey was hit by a truck he had just been to the Monster Truck show the day before, so this year to celebrate his beining saved and to have a little family fun we had planed to take the kids to the monster truck show. Much to our surprise when we showed up and went to buy the tickets they were sold out. could you imagine how devistated the kids were, they broke into tears. Not two seconds later they had a smile on their face when their daddy assured them it would be ok and we are here together as a family there is other things to do. So we didn't let this ruin our night we drove around Hampton collisium Mall and found a cinema cafe. Perfect. Dinner and Movie. What more can you ask for. Ok so we went and Watched Madacascar 2 (good movie) Before the movie started we ordered the kids pizza and us hambergers. We were hungry. I couldn't help but notice after orders were brought to us (not by our waitress) that did not belong to us, that the movie was half over and our food had not yet arived. The kids both at this time agnoliged that they were hungry also. Now we are more than half way through the movie and a waitress finally comes by and ask how are you guys. I said we are still waiting for our food. She replied oh no. Then we quickly got drinks n popcorn but no meal. We are still making the most of this night and enjoying the movie. Me I was cuddled in Pauls arms and the kids right beside us laughing away. Movie almost over everone recieving their checks we finally get our food. Its was so good, but i didn't even get one bite of my burger when the waitress was shoving the bill in our face. The bill was shoved at us three times before we finished our food and we barley finished before the movie ended. We were last out of the theater. With all this we still had a fun family night. I had decided to let the manager know what was going on before I paid the bill, not to not pay my bill the food was good, but simply to find out if this was normal service and to let him know about the problem. He was so wonderful and took half off our bill. I was so greatful. We had a great night despite the set backs and for half the price. God knows how to make situations better you just have to let him.

My Babies

"my family" or "MY FAMILY"

"my family" or " MY FAMILY" is there a difference? Yes I have discovered that there is. Hold on before you call the looney bin and have me comitted please let me explain.

"my family" they are the family that I enjoyed growing up. Growing up I had 3 sisters. Kristinia, Kimberly, Kaitlynn and I grew up with our two loving parents. I remember my mom stayed home with us while my dad worked two or three jobs supporting us. Even though my dad worked hard he alway found time to play hide in go seek his way. Mom and us girls went on bike rides and hide from dad, then dad would get on his motorcyle to find us. We then raced him back (5 mph) the person back first got a motorcyle ride with dad and we told hime where to go. And my mom she was a great sacrificer. Her shoes would be talking but her and dad still found the money and time to walk a brand new bike up to the school on our birthday. This was a great childhood with good memories. Now we have all grown up and started Families of our own. This leading me to............

" MY FAMILY" started 10 years ago when my baby girl Camille was born. Sortly after my dad gave me away to my husband Paul. It will be 8 years DEC 9th. then 6 years ago we added on to "OUR FAMILY" Paul jr. was born. (Mikey). Now we have a family of our own. I didn't completley put this together until this past year I have been doing a lot of soul searching and critical thinking. Maybe even over thinking. But a year ago Mikey got hit by a truck and God saved him. I almost lost part of "MY FAMILY" and God saved him. And in the past six months I have relized a great truth about me. I have been selfish. My husband gave up his "family" to make a "FAMILY" with me but I did not give up" my family" for him. I have always been the one to know everything about everyone but my husband. I tried to please everyone no matter what the cost. I have know relized that no matter how much I try the people that are "my family" are not the ones I should be pleasing and putting first, but instead I should be pleasing and embrassing "MY FAMILY" . My parents gave me to Paul 8 years ago but I did not give myself fully to him. I have know in the past two months been giving myself fully to him and my children. We are now building our Family and I have learned more about my husband in the past two months than I have in the past eight years.
We both like our pot pies cooked in the oven and not microwaved and we both love the turkey one. I didn't know. It took eight years. Thank you God for waken me up and giving me " MY FAMILY". Paul- N- ME
