Wonderful Wednesday!

Well, today was very eventful!
In the early morning we dropped Zac off at a friends, Billy and Annie off at school, and Jody and I headed to the shops for some girly time :)
Unfortunatly every now and then we would both feel sick but other times fine. Weird huh?!?
There is a bit of a bug going around so I really hope I am not getting it!
After shopping for 5 hours I walked to pick Zac up and then walked home with one tired little boy! Meaning I had to carry him! And he is heavy!!!
When I got home we had some afternoon tea, played for a while, watched some T.V, which soon turned into dancing to the music channel :)
I got Billy ready for his school disco and then headed home to get ready for my oriantation starting at 6pm. First off I had green hair spray all over my hands from Billy (His disco was crazy hair theme) which took about 10 mins in the shower to scrub off. And I mean scrub!!! OWCH!
Then the hot water decides to run out half way through washing my hair!
So I rinced in FREEZING cold water and jumped out, got dressed in my bestest 'oriantation style' clothes and was about to leave.
I had a drink of coke and was walking to the car when I slipped! Spilling coke ALL over myself and my nice white shirt! So I changed :)
In the middle of getting dressed my phone rang.... McDonalds!!!!
Manager running late, time changed to 6:30pm! Thank you God! :-)
As you have probebly notacted I was very very very nervous!
I got there and realised it wasn't so scary ;)
Infact I am really looking forward to starting!
At the oriantation, I got my uniform, signed stacks of paper work and watched a safty video. Not scary at all!
I am really exited about working! Everyone seems really nice and fun too :)
I am just about to turn in for the night but first I do have a prayer request...
Of course there is always something up with that little God son of mine!
That tummy bug I mentioned earlier.... well Oscar has it, BAD!
Please keep him in your prayers! A very sick little boy.
Oh and also, there has been a family on the news...
A familys little boy was born very sick,premmie, bad heart and lungs ect.
One night, his parents were coming home and they had a car crash, both losing their lives. The baby left an orphan, fighting for his life.
God called this precious baby home, to be with his Mummy and Daddy, healed, for forever!
I think its a good thing in a way. Unfortunatly, we will never experiance the joy this child could have bought to the world but he is with his family now, with Jesus, healed for all iternety.
Please keep the family and friends of this Mummy, Daddy and Baby in your prayers!

Night Ya'll :)

Nervous!!!!

Just a quick update to ask for prayers....
I have my oriantation at McDonalds tonight and I am sooooo nervous!
Please pray :)
Will update how it goes when I get home tonight and if not in the morning :)
Thank you!

Job and Picture Updates :-)

Job

My interveiw went great! I was so nervous but it wasn't scary at all :)

They asked a few questions and some how we got onto the topic of Oscar (typical for a convo to turn into something about my boy) which made me feel alot more comfertable :)

Turns out my interveiwers (a husband and wife) have a DS cousin! How cool huh?!

Last night I got the call to tell me I GOT THE JOB! WHOOOOOOOOOO :D

I have an oriantation day on Wednesday, then I have to wait to be trained and then I start work!

How exiting! Thank you all so much for praying!

Pictures

We had so much fun at our sleep over date, when Oscar finally cheered up, after 2 hrs of screeming! The spring fair was super fun! Oscar loved looking around at all the stalls and kids running around :) Unfortunatly I forgot my camera but here are some pics from Saturday, Sat night and Sunday morning :) Enjoy! MWAAAAAAAA <3

Oh, You make me smile!

What a beautiful smile!

Kisses for my beautiful boy <3

What a sweet boy :)

We had a big photo day, I wanted to get a nice one of me and Oscar. We got a few goodies! :)

Lifes greatest blessing! :)

What a cheecky smile on Oscars face. Little boy, you bring so much joy!

I love to kiss those chubby cheecks!

How blessed am I to be your God mother!

YAY :)

Oscar is learning how to point and he is doing such a great job! One proud Godmummy!

I wanna cuddle!

I always look naughty! :)

He couldn't decide weather he wanted to point of cheer hip-hip-hoorayy!
But he is so clever he can do woth :)

What a great pointer!

Beautiful Blue eyed Boy!

Oscars eyes are amazing, they are always changing from blue to green, and everything in between :)

I just wanna go to bed!

I LOVE this precious face! Isn't he beautiful!

Funny Face Oscar :)

Sacked out! Better have a nap before the sleep over :)

Oscar LOVES to read :)

Kisses from Bobby :) My 2 favorite boys!

I dont wanna have a bath!!!!

This is about half an hour after Paul and Carrie left so Oscar was still very upset not having Mummy and Daddy there.

Oh sweet boy, Its not that bad! God mummy is here!

What a nice set up :) Geering up for beddy byes!

Not asleep yet! But getting tired!

Ok, He IS asleep! Go Tay! :)

Oscar having his bottle in the morning, I was so amazed by the way he slept! He barly woke at all :)

Oscar, you never stop amazing me with not only the things you learn but also the things you teach me! Go has truly blessed me with the most amazing gift! I am forever blessed to be your Godmummy.
I love you so much, sweet boy, with ALL my heart, always and forever! :)

Cuddly Little Monster!

When I asked to have Oscar for the night I expected to be up ALL night with a screaming baby, I didn't really mind, because thats what his parents go through EVERY night!
I was so suprised to be only woken with a little bit of stirring through the night!
What a great little boy :)
All night Oscar would make sure some part of him was touching some part of me, Sweet huh?!
Unfortunatly that meant him butt was in my face half the night too! LOL :-)

Oscar has terrible wind! And last night when the covers got lifted, OH MY!

He woke at 6:10 and had a bottle and came out to watch mickey and play and give me a chance to update :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day or night!

I am looking forward to going to the fair for a few hours this morning!

Will update with photos hopefully tonight!

MWAAAAAAAAAAAA :-)

Very first sleep over

It is almost 7pm here and Oscar is having his VERY FIRST SLEEP OVER!

He is a very big mummas and daddas boy! And when they left he lost it!
I mean, yes we expected this! A child leaving its parents for the very first time is something that would be very scary for my precious little boy! But mummy and daddy have been getting NO sleep with the little man so I insited over and over to have him :)

Oscar has been here for almost 2 hours and has only just settled!
2 hours of constent screeming, part wind pain and part 'I miss mumma and dadda' crying.

Praise God for allowing Oscar to trust us and finally calm down!

Oscar has refused food and a bath, which is not like him at all!

I just gave him a bottle and we will be heading to bed shortly (yes I am going at the same time as I need my sleep!)

Hoping Oscar stays settled throught the night!

Oh also, I got a phone call from McDonalds this afternoon asking if I would come in for a job interveiw tomorrow!
I had planned to spend the entire day with Oscar and take him to the spring fair for lunch, but having my interveiw at 10:30 am doesn't make that possible! So we will be heading there for the morning then straight off to my interveiw (which I am so nervous about!)

So glad Oscar is settled, will update in the morning letting everyone know how he goes during the night :)

Good night Ya'll
Big kisses and cuddles from the Big sleep over guest, Ozzy! (:
MWAAAAA!

Each step forward

Planning this Princess Ball in honor of Chrissie has brought such Joy to me! I am so exited to be playing a role in saving sweet Nika in Chrissies memory!

Each step forward with planing the party gets me more and more exited!

Yesterday I gave out another lot of invites (as the origanal date was changed) and realised just how soon it was and how many people were not only willing, but exited to help out!

Origanally the party was on the 24th of July, just 4 days after my sisters birthday. So aswell as it being for Chrissie it was also for Lana. As you know, God has only recentally revealed to me who He wants me to fundraise for. If the part had been on the 24th of July my decion would have been much more dificult as I would have to chose and not listen to who God had chosen for me.

God knew the date was going to be changed.

The new date is the 16th of October which is jam packed full of events worth celebrating!

8th of October: Chrissies 5th Birthday

14th of October: One year annaversary of Chrissies adopting

9th-17 of October: Down Syndrome Awarness week, A time to celebrate the gift God gave to us!

The gift of love, joy and happiness. A type of love that comes so pure it fills your entire soul with joy! A joy that makes you smile so much harder each and every day :)

A day we will celebrate Oscar, the Joy that he is and the people from all over the world he lead me too (including Princess Chrissie). Celebrating the life of Nika, the sweet girl who is locked away into a mental institution with no one celebrating her life like they should!

Nika, sweet princess, we will celebrate your life and the joy you will bring to a family one day!

This party has celebration within celebration, but the biggest, the most important, is celebrating the life of Princess Chrissie! Celebrating the way she touched so many lives from ALL around the world! Celebrating the way she bought so many people to Christ! The way she inspired me and so many others to have a heart for adoption.

Chrissie forfilled SO much in her short life time!

Her life is worth celebration, and Princess Chrissie, that is what we will do! We will dance and sing and laugh and smile because of you! Because your life is so worth celebrating!

Thank you everyone for your compliments about me doing this but ALL glory is to the Patterson family, Christyn Joy, and Our Heavenly Father :)

With each step forward, I am getting more and more exited!

A royal Princess Ball in honor of the most beautiful, sweet, warrior princess in the world! No not you Cinderella!

I love you Princess Christyn Joy 'Jewelery' Patterson!

Pure Joy

This afternoon I payed a visit to my favorite little boy :)

Oscar was such a happy little boy! Filled with Joy.

Pure Joy!

Joy that is contagious. Spread by smiles, giggles and love.

Me and Oscar got to spend some one on one play time with eachother which was great!

We both had a ball playing outside together!

Oscars butt looks great but he has alot of wind!

We did alot of bouncin' and dancin' which got most of it out, but boy, It STUNK!

I am so greatful God blessed us with the chance to spend some time outside and embrace the beauty he created!

I am so greatful God blessed me with such a joyful little baby boy,

and a stinky one too!

I love you Oscar :)
