Heaven Sent

Mike's grandfather passed away today and so we are headding to Minnesota. Please be praying for safe travels. If you don't hear from me that is where I am. Love you, friends!

Winter or Fall

Here is the view out my front door this morning. I love fall but I really like the snow. Here is the best of both worlds! Be blessed my friends 

Flashback Friday

Well... I couldn't find a Halloween picture but I came across this picture of me. I have been a farm kid all my life and this just goes to prove it. Have a wonderful weekend! 

How being a Christian is like being a Pumpkin...

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God
lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the
dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you
deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff--
including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.
Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts
His light inside you to shine for all the world
to see. Happy Autumn!

Sassy Shoe Thursday

Now that Amber has started SST I am always looking at shoes (on other people). At my dad's family reunion this summer my aunts always had cute shoes on. Here is a pair of my aunt Karrie's really adorable shoes. Have a wonderful Thursday!

Running out of ideas...

Girls I need some wisdom. I am running out of ideas of what to feed Sarah. I try to give her a balanced diet but I don't know what else to give her. It seems like she gets a lot of dairy (that is what she likes). Any thoughts...

SO...

As you can see girls I added a little addition to my blog.I hope that I have your estimated due dates right. If you have names picked out that you would like to share please let me know. We don't know what we are having and I am not sure that we will find out. I know I am waiting for Cortney to get an EDD but let me know if there is anyone else I am forgetting. Does anyone know when Cindy Litzinger is due?

In the palm of His hand...

Have you ever felt like God was distant? Yet in that distance there is His obvious presence. That is what I am feeling now. No matter how much I worship or read my Bible I just don't feel God very close and yet this month He has blessed me. Yesterday was Mike & I's 3rd Anniversary. YEA 3 years! We finally got our Tahoe back after 3 weeks with a rental car. The Lord kept us all safe during that accident. We had an ultrasound last week and the lil' Glathar is doing really well. No we did not find out gender and I don't think that we are going to know. Everything seems fine. I am still a little paranoid while driving or riding in the car but I am sure that I will get past that. Of course being a military family you never know what God / the Government has in store for you. No word lately on us going anywhere. Here is where we are needed for now! September has been a month of financial arrangement with lots of changes and yet we have been able to pay off bills and get in a way better financial situation. PRAISE GOD! Sometimes when you feel alone it takes reflecting on what God has done to see Him still there with you in the palm of His hand. Have a blessed day my friends!

Labor Day Weekend

We hope that you all had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. We had a good weekend. Zac & Ashley Woodhouse were married on Saturday. Congratulations! Sunday we went to a BBQ and had fun playing cards with Cory, Kim, and my parents. Monday we went out to the farm for a while and loaded more of my parents stuff to take to Lolo. Then we came home and were on our way to dinner with the Hunttings and well we got into a little accident. A little truck pulled out in front of us and we hit him. Pray for him, he was a little shook up. So today I am stuck at home without a vehicle and who knows how long it will be until we have our Tahoe back. We are all safe and no one was hurt. Sarah was a little shook up over the whole thing but she has done very well. I am going to go get checked sometime this week hopefully to make sure that lil' Glathar is alright but everything seems to be fine. I will keep you posted.

Glathar happenings...

Where do I start! Most of the summer we have spent our weekends moving my parents to Missoula. My dad's job moved them there and my mom has found a job at a lawyers office. We are so excited for them. Mike's mom and grandma spent a couple weeks with us. They picked us up in Missoula and we took a weekend trip to Seattle to visit Mike's uncle Mark and aunt Becky. Here is a picture of us there. We also spent some time on the beach but mostly just a lot of time in the car. We stopped in Spokane for a night and I got to see my sweet friend Sarah. Our little Sarah Faith turned 1 on August 22nd. We had a family party on the Sunday before and got to watch Sarah eat her first cake. After Mike's mom and grandma had all that they could handle of the Glathar chaos we took them to Memorial Falls on their way to Yellowstone and back to Minnesota.

Its all my fault...

So I thought that I had better tell everyone why Amber has not been blogging these days. I put her blog on my credit card to pay for it. Being the good steward of our finances I was going through the credit card bill in July (Amber started Typepad in May). I did not know what this 80 some dollar charge was for. So I called our credit card company and they gave me a phone number to call. I called the number and the number had been dissconnected. I thought it was a fraud. About a month later I got an email from Amber. Guess what! It was Amber's Typepad!! OOPS!! Well... we have tried everything. I found a current phone number online and they say that if you have questions to email them. Well... it has been a month and they still have not updated Amber's account. So we will keep trying. I feel horrible! So email amber! I love you Amber!! I am SOOOO sorry!

Remember....

I was thinking the other day about being pregnant. Does anyone have pictures of when Susie was here with her cute little belly (when she was pregnant with Sarah)? I remember being at the church for some function (maybe their going away) and there were pictures being taken of a bunch of you cute girls. How many years ago was that?

Hot, Fat, & just want to snap my fingers to make something happen...

I don't seem to be on the internet much these days. Today is was over 100 degrees which makes my house at least 80 if I keep it all shut up. My basement is nice accept that there seems to be high humidity down there and so we have a mildew problem that we are trying to figure out. We just bought a dehumidifier (crazy to think of in Montana) that seems to be helping. Mike put in for a cross train in something that I don't really know much about it accept that he will need a top secret security clearance and so that means that they can't tell us much about the job. I am kind of ready to do something new. I really feel that God is pulling my heart away from my home. If you would have asked me 6 months ago to sell my house I would have told you no way! But I am ready. Base housing is looking really good right now (especially if it has AC). I don't really like living in limbo or wondering what I should do. When I set my mind to something I just want to do it and begin the new adventures. Just like my house. I am ready to just put it on the market sell it and move on to base. Just with a snap of my fingers. Well the wait to move on base is 6-9 months and there is no way that I can show my house to complete strangers in the form that it looks in. Let alone the unfinished basement that just needs a few more hours and it will be done. So I guess this is just my lesson in learning how to be content in every situation.

The Glathar Family

Welcome to the latest pictures of the Glathar family. The other night Mike and I had a date and we went and took this really cute picture so I had to share. As you can see God is expanding our family to 4! We are so excited. Once again our friends on the other side of the world are expecting #2 right there with us. The Rhodes baby is due only 7 days after us. Congratulations Jeremy & Laura Beth!

Life Happened...

I realize it has been over a month since I have posted. Lets see... We got our carpet in our basement and I almost have it all set up and I found mildew. I was wondering what that strange smell was. So we are doing a lot more cleaning. We went camping. Our 4th of July consisted of 4 BBQs. My daughter, Sarah, is growing like a weed. So I think that I just need to relax. I just bought new mugs to go with my Simple Additions set. Anyone care to join me for girl talk....

sassy shoe thursday

My mom and grandma have been asking me all week what I am going to post for today. Well...here they are from zappos.com. I like them alot! Not sure that I would spend the 50 some dollars for them but Amber says that we are allowed to dream on Thursdays. I don't have a lot of shoes let alone sassy ones. Have a wonderful Thursday!

We all have one...

You know those deep junk drawers that you never know what you are going to find in them and what random stuff is in there. Well... I was really excited when I cleaned out my junk drawer the other day. I found this... Now I have some additions to my scrapbooking collection.

Sassy Shoe Thursday

Well, these shoes aren't that sassy but I do have to say that they are very comfortable. All the carpet in my house consists of area rugs (hopefully that will be changing soon) so these slippers are good for keeping my feet warm. The other thing I really like about these fuzzies is when I am mopping the floor they do not leave footprints.
