Our Sorrow Filled last 2 months


I don't know who all knows but My Beloved Grandma Vi has passed away.
September 29th at 8:45 am she was 73 years old.
She sure did fight a long and tough battle. This Women was the Glue that held us all together. She took care of Everyone in our family at least once. I tell you it was more than one time for most. Never did she hesitate to help with a meal, time, your housework, your kids, a ride, a confidant, love, patience. Everyone's friend, Every persons Grandma Vi.
She never met a stranger and knew what you needed before you did. Grandma had a great love for her savior Jesus Christ and was an obedient Child of God. Violet was a Mother of 2 wonderful boys Randy Lee and Robert Rick, Grandmother of 4 Angie-Alison(Me)-Trisha and Heath, Great Grandmother of 7 Tyler-Brittany-Garret-Jaden-Kaven-Wyatt and Lillian. She was loved like no other. If you called she always had time even for a recipe over the phone. Who do I call now? Grandma We all love you very much and you will be GREATLY missed.

On October 19th My Father in law Rupert Leon Sears passed away from a very long battle with Pancreatic Cancer. He was a very important person in our lives, he was strong, persistent, caring, THE MAN KNEW JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING!! If he didn't know it he knew someone who did. I was so greatful to have known him and been able to be part of his family. If you see Kay his wife...Hug Her!! Pray for strength. He was a Father of 2 Biological Children Heather and Brenton
Step Father to Mike, Keith and Amy, Great Grandfather of 8 Philip, Abigail, Susannah, Grace, Brittany, Daniel, Wyatt and Lillian.

Kay's nephew was in a car accident 2 weeks later and was killed instantly.

Brenton's uncle Del passed away about a week after that after am entire life of pain and suffering. He was a very sweet and patient man. (as far what I saw of him) I thought of him often.

You blink and they are big enough for Toddler Beds

As most of you know Lillian has decided to be a mountain climber. She has started along her path with climbing out of her crib as practice for those big tall mountains. I swear (not really) sometimes she has a grown up brain. She is entirely to intelligent for her and my own good. I guess that means I have to dumb her up a bit....just kidding.
No matter what we did we could not keep her in the crib any longer she was going to get hurt jumping out.
So...
It was time for the Race Car and the Beetle Bug to come from the basement and give me something else to clean. ha
It has been about 2 1/2 weeks now and so far so good.
Nite time is breeze but nap time is a little challanging.
I have to sit in the room with a stick and go crack..get in bed...... no Lillie.....stop Lillie...Get into Bed Lillie...you see a pattern here?
Naps have become a little shorter as well  ughhhhh I will never get things done. (Oh sure I will)
Here are some pics of the first night in the beds.
Nite Nite

Bath Time Play

Just thought I would add in a few pics of our bath. We have alot of fun as you can see. We swim and play hair salon. Check it out

Our week in Ohio (A Trip with 2 toddlers, an 11 year old and Grandma)

Hello all,

My Mother (Barbara) and I decided to take a week long trip with the kids. (Brent had to work)
You would think that a trip with an 11 year old and 2 Toddlers would be some what of a challange.....So did I. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. My children (all 3) were like being in the car with someone else's children. I mean no whining, complaining, crying, screaming or hitting. They were really Great Kids. Mom was good too! hehe

We made up our minds before we left that we were going to have a relaxing vacation. We stopped in Richmond, KY which is about 5 1/2 hours from here and spent the night.
Got up in the morning and had a free hot breakfast buffet, complete with homemade waffles.
We stopped whenever we wanted to, to walk , run, check out anything we wanted to check out. Like the As Seen on TV store, Weird. Did not
see anything I wanted though. Brittany got a magic appearing book, you know when you were a
kid your grandma got you a book that you would scribble and magically stuff would appear.
We also stopped for Rest Stop Expresso, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you are me and have a really bad Coffee habit. (It will keep you up for at least 10 days) I haven't slept since...Just kidding. We got to my sisters and my nephew Garret had wrapped the house in Caution tape it was hilarious. See Pic...
The little ones were just happy to get out of the car and Lillian said Hi Tylo (Tyler) See pic of Cute blond 13 yr old.
Wyatt and Lillian promptly took off up and down my sisters stairs while we all had a little time to say Hi How oh crap Grab Him... Get down here......Stop That...So how have you been....missed y stop that.....no....No ...NO.....Put the dog food down
It was great.
Brittany and Garret had a wonderful time fighting and arguing...It was just like old times.
We went to this REALLY COOL indoor water park (pics later mom's camera) Brittany is such a Water Kid she was all over the place and Mom went down the water slides like she had been doing it everyday. Wyatt decided after a little coxing that he loved the little kids slide (about as tall as my chest and water 1 inch deep)
He would go to the top of the slide and dance for a minute, then he would tighten up the top of his body like a body builder, then slide down. It was sooo funny, he has never done that before. Lillian was going down the slide on her belly, backwards, forwards, sideways, walking up backwards...she loved it intensely. They all had such a good time.
Know what the best thing was.......NO SAND!!!!!! Just water and Fun.
We also got alot of good visiting in with my Grandma Reed and Grandpa, My Cousin Kelly & Her daughter Kayla, Aunt Patti, Uncle Joe and My GREAT Aunt Debi ( I Love Her So Much) and him too he he.
I really enjoyed my visit with Kelly, she and I don't get much time with one another and I was really happy to be there.
Our trip back consisted of driving 6 hours to Richmond, Ky to stay in the same hotel and wake up to a Hot Breakfast Buffet complete with homemade waffles. No complaining, whining, crying, or hitting. Just relaxing and enjoying our vacation. Our drive from Richmond to Acworth was great fun as well we stopped at this place called the Dog Patch Trading Post and saw the World's Biggest Grannie Panties. Don't ask. The little ones sgot Cowboys hats courtesy of Grandma..so cute. Brittany got a t-shirt that says "Horse Person" really cute. I got nothing but a sore bum from driving..Just kidding it was a sore back. Lillian and Wyatt rode a mechanical horse for a quarter and

Oh on the way from Richmond to Massillion we rode a double carousel (2 story) It was really Cool.
Ok so we are back and my back still hurts.....Whats up with that. Well good thing I have a Brenton to rub it for me.
See ya'll later.
Love, Hugs and Prayers

Just some pics of the Family

Look it's Daddy!!
Brittany is getting so pretty
Wyatt and Lillie so Happy to be a PePa's.

More soon.

Lillie's Art

As most of you well know Lillie has been taking her diaper off.  She also likes to take Wyatt's off and just get into hers. Well on the 14th of July Lillian decided that she did not want to sleep in a diaper. Needless to say when I came into the room at the end of nap time I walked in and saw
two Naked babies.  I also saw new paint on our walls, a dark shade of Brown and chunky.... Ya know Poo.
Oh and her white bed was also a lovely shade of Poo.
She was sooo upset. Lillian had covered the walls, crib, Her Brother's hair and back and
everything in the bed with this paint.
I just started to laugh and grabbed the camera. (what else can you do?) It took 2 bathes for
Lillian and one for Wyatt to get it all off, and an hour to get it off of the entire bed.
We were determined to make it to The Brown's house for the party.
Did I mention our air conditioner went out too!
It was quite a day. We had so much fun with everyone at the Brown's and realized that no
matter what goes on in our lives just remember to laugh because God never gives you what you cannot handle.  Life is nothing if not Funny. (especially with Toddlers)

Everyone Please forgive the OverTired Lady!

I know this post has been long overdue.....Delivery day is here.
The past month and a 1/2 have been very filling.

We went to the beach (Pensacola) to visit my in-laws. It was a wonderful time spent with them.
The twins loved being at Pepa's (they could get into every room of the house). The door handles at my Father in-laws home are straight not knobs, kids love this. It was cute to see Lillie as she was excited to open the door to Mommy getting dressed. Thank Goodness No one noticed but me. Wyatt loved to some shell beads that Pepa had on his lamp, constantly taking them off to put on. They also got a kick out of the sunroom, we left the door open a couple of times(don't worry Heather we asked) and they went in and out and in and out and in and out.... No they don't live in a Barn Grandma Vi.
The children loved the beach, Lillie found lots of shells, Wyatt found lots of sand castles with Dad, and Brittany found lots of water. Bri loves the Ocean her Grandma Barb takes her to Jacksonsville Beach. The sand was just as white and the water such a Beautiful color of teal. Soooo pretty.

But all good things have even beaches have there flaws: SAND SAND SAND. For those of you who know me well (or not so well it's not a secret) I HATE SAND!!!!!! Hate is a strong word and I am
a strong speaker. Sand is one of the worst natural creations (natural disaster if you ask me) ever created. What was mother nature thinking...I mean COME ON. Would she like a sock or bathing suit full of this stuff...I Don't Think SO! I remember once finding sand when Bri was 3 and I hadn't been to the beach since I was 3. (just kidding)
Anyway, enough of that! The visit was Awesome. I got some much needed conversation with my Father In Law and look forward to the next conversation. I also got to spent a lot of time with my wonderful Mother in law Kay. She is a blessing to me.
Shhh! I don't think she knows that. She helped sooo much with the kids, 
I love that about her. So helpful. I would have shown up 
to my wedding naked if not for her.
Alright let me tell you about the kids lately
Brittany has been doing fabulous at Softball, her team has won 2 of 2 
tournament games so far this week. I am so proud of her.
Wyatt and Lillie have learned how to eat with utensils.
Oatmeal and cottage cheese with a spoon.
Just like they have always done it... no sweat. This I tell you is not fair...
I am supposed to be feeding them ME....not them...babies I tell you they are just babies...
O where O where have my babies gone O where can they be...they have gone and left these TODDLERS in my home.

Well my faith has been steadily growing I am scheduled to be baptized on the 29th of April and will have the children dedicated some time this month ( I have to speak to Joel about that). I can't remember when that is. I will post infor later.
For those of you who don't already know: Our Lord has done and continues to do some amazing things for us, Thank him sometime. He Deserves it.
May God bless you all,
Ally

Our Gifts From The Lord!

I don't think I ever will get tire of showing more pics of our little gifts from the Lord.

He has and continues to bless our family. I mean do you ever just sit and wonder why he decided to bless you. I know we don't deserve them, but we just love them so.

He has always given us what he knows would open our eyes..just a bit more each time it was given. As for me, I can finally see clearly (and struggle everyday to not be foggy) as to what he has done and is doing for us. No, We don't deserve these gifts but he sure knows we need them.

His Love is so Amazing that it just befuddles me, how I can do so wrong and still be Loved so much by such an awesome God. Now I may not describe my feelings in a understandable way but He knows what I mean....Doesn't he!

Father, I praise you for everything you do and have given my family, You are my Lord and Savior. Please be with us everyday and continue to show us the way, Lord. Without you we are nothing, just dirt beneath your feet. I Love you so much! I await the day to bow at your feet and give you all the praise you deserve. I pray in Jesus name, Amen

Beautiful Brittany!!!

Look at some of these photos I found recently while designing a large frame.  
They are mostly recently taken if not now a year ago. She is just growing up and I can't do anything about it.

 

The many Smiles of Wyatt Sears

He just loves the Camera!!!!!

 

Oh what hams I have.....Could not get Bri to pose

Our twins love to pose.....as you can see. We really need to get alot more of Brittany on here.  
It is funny as soon as they see the light on the camera they usually SMILE.
 

This is our park day about a week 1/2 ago....

 We took a trip to the FBCW Kidstock park.  Here are a few pics of us and our friends. Aren't we having fun....

Mommy finds a Hug (Sand finds Abigail)

Ok, So I could not sleep and decided to put just one more photo on.

This is yet another picture of us at the Pensacola Beach. I am getting a snuggle with Lillie. If you look into the background to the right you will see... The sand trying to swallow Abigail.

Abigail and Brittany decided they wanted to be buried in the sand and dig the holes themselves. Funny huh?! No. Sand everywhere. ( I say again. I hate Sand) I will try to post Christmas pics next.

Isn't she (Lillie) just soooo cute.....

Lillie finds the Water

This is the first blog entry that I am doing.

Kind of a testing 123 thing......

I am going to try this out and Hope it works.

So this is a pic from our after Christmas beach visit. We went to see PePa' and MamaK. The twins and Brittany loved the beach. Lillie was running all over the place and pointing to the surfers that were crazy enough to be out there while the red flag was up. (bad weather)

This picture has made me decided that I need to grow my hair back. I don't like it short for a reason.

It is a good pic of Lillie and I though. We had sand everywhere when we were done and for those of you that don't know "I hate Sand". It gets into everything and seems to never disappear, Why is that? Anyway more to come this is kinda cool, like Tiffany said I can just talk and talk.

Goodnight
