We're having a BOY!!!

We're super excited that Ezra will have a little brother just under 2 1/2 years apart! I hope they'll be the best of friends!! I'm due exactly 5 months from today! Wow. I can't believe I'll be the Mom to TWO BOYS!

I can't believe TOMORROW we find out what we're having!!!

Will I be buying this..

or this..

Stay tuned to find out if baby Mann is a boy or girl!!!

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19.


If you don't know of Creflo Dollar you should. He's a great preacher.. always with an uplifting and challenging word. I was desperate to hear something from him so I watched his message called 'Overcoming the Fear of Recession' on his web SITE.

The verse above spoke to me--
He said the Greek definition for the word 'need' is 'request or demand'. God will give us all that we need, as long as we present him with the 'demand slip' as Creflo called it. We have to do our part in the matter.. present our order to God and expect that it will be filled. He also said a ton of other great things that I really needed to hear.

I'm making my request and I know God is waiting to meet it!!

Just a peek..

Here is the official sneak peek into Ezra's 'big boy room'.

The theme is cowboy.
The deals are good.
& the room is undergoing a transformation.


Cute little sign Ali and Peggy discovered for me from Hobby Lobby. $14.99 - on sale for $7.99.

Now THIS is too cute, right?! Ali and Zach MADE this for Ezra for his birthday. SO creative! All items were purchased at Hobby Lobby. I plan to to hang it above his bed.

Great lamp from Target. $30.00 - on sale for $14.99.

We've got paint up, furniture in .. we're almost done.. but I don't want to post the final pictures until I've purchased a few more necessary decorative items. But so far.. we. love. it. Ezra too.

Party time

Today we had a small party for Ezra. He had a great time and loved his presents (and smearing cake all over his face.. that one was my fault though- I may have encouraged it a bit.) This little boy is loved!! At least the pictures are exciting because I can't think of too much to say.
Happy Birthday to my boy.

Ezra's 2!

Today was Ezra's 2nd birthday! I can't believe how old he is already. We had an awesome day. We treated ourselves to some McDonald's lunch and then played at the Monkey's Treehouse with Mom, Jenna and Ali. When Tony got off work we wanted to take Ez out for ice cream.. but once he caught sight of the playspace at McDonald's (yes.. our second trip today.. don't judge).. he was off. We're having a small party for him Sunday afternoon. Today was a great day!

My Avocado--

Thebump.com says--

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

I say--

I'm feeling pretty good! I'm still tired and by the end of the day my legs are super tired and achy but I guess that's to be expected during pregnancy. July 10th is the big day when we find out what we're having!! It's so exciting.. and SO soon! I think I may have felt fluttering but no sure movement yet. I'm so excited to be able to feel all the rolling and kicking that is soon to come! This pregnancy is really flying by for me.
