Katy Bug is One-derful!!

sidenote: this post is more than a month late...better late than never though, right?

My sweet Katy Bug is 1! How has the time slipped away so quickly? It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital and now she is starting to walk and beginning to develop her sweet and sassy personality. These past few months we have begun to see glimpses of who Katy Elizabeth will be.

While Katy was still waiting to make her entrance into the world I began praying the meaning of her name over her little life. Katy means pure; virginal, and Elizabeth means consecrated to God. I love that I can already see the pure spirit in my baby girl. She genuinely loves life(unless she needs food) and her untainted eyes light up any room that she is in. One thing that you can always count on with Katy is that she is tenacious in her unwavering will. I should have seen the warning signs when she decided that she knew the best way to make her entrance to the world...BREECH!! I am sure that life will never be dull with my strong-willed girl, and I feel 100% equipped for the high calling to raise her with patience and humility.

Sweet Katy Bug, your daddy and I love you more than words can express. You keep us laughing and bring so much joy to our lives. I am so excited to see what the Lord has for you in this second year of life. I am praying His richest blessings over you and that He would continue to give me the wisdom and strength to raise you up to be pure and completely consecrated to Him!! You were fearfully and wonderfully made and I feel humbled to be the mommy that God chose to entrust you to!

My First Race...it will be a WILD One!!

Ok, so one of my goals for this year is to get back into running and in order to accomplish that goal I want to run as many races as possible and a couple of 1/2 marathons. I have been running around my neighborhood track(the streets) several times a week and I am feeling ready to take a go at my first road race. I am really stoked about it! I will be running the Fort Worth Zoo Run Run on April 19th. Are you ready for the daunting task of how long this race is?? A whole 5K(that's 3.2 miles for you non-runners). Ok, so it's not the biggest feat in the world, but I am starting small. After all, you eat an elephant one bit at a time, right? So, I would love to have some peeps to run with me. At the moment I know that my sweet friend Katy Ward is going to run(although she may ditch me for the 10K), and I have several other recruits I am working on. So, let me know if you want to jump on board. It will be a FUN race, and as a bonus you get free passes to the zoo, can't beat that

New Frontrunner on American Idol

Ok...who is with me when I say that David Cook is the next American Idol?? To be honest, I was not very impressed with him at the beginning of the season, but all that changed when he redid the Lionel Richie song a few weeks ago. And HOLY COW, his version of Billie Jean last night was SICK!! I did not even recognize the song until half way through the first verse. Now that's what I call making a song your own. I feel like that ranked right up there with Blake Lewis' version of "You give Love a bbbbBad Name"!!So, as much as I love my boy David Archuletta, I think that my vote is with D Cook. It will be interesting to see who is in the Bottom 3 tonight. My guess: Ramiele Malubay(come on, it's time for her to go), Carly Smithson(she seems to have lost her edge at the moment, a case os shaken confidence), and either Chikiezie or Christy Lee Cook. What do you think??

Love does not demand its own way!?

Love does not demand its own way. This is a truth that the Lord is working on burning into my heart. Over the past month, I have been meeting with a mentor, a woman who I love and respect SO much. At one of our first meetings, Michele and I talked about my struggles with parenting a toddler. The first question she had for me was, "Jamie, when you are mentoring your children, do you encourage in righteousness, or demand?" OUCH!! That really hit me at the depths of my core. As I searched my heart for the answer to that question I realized that in every area of my life, I often demand my own way. More often that not, I nag Blake in a quest for him to act the way that I WANT him to, or to treat me the way that I WANT him to. When, I discipline Tyler, I seek results that I WANT, and use punishments that are convenient FOR ME. That's not love!! After all, 1 Corinthians 13:5 says, "Love DOES NOT demand its own way." After a good talk with Michele, I had so
