Jesus- The reason for the season !!

2010-12-18T08:43:00.000-08:00

I have not blogged in forever!!! I have been busy with LIFE :) Raising two sweet young boys and being a wife....plus a full time college student at night and online has made for a very difficult 6 months. I have been a stressed out mess!!! I have lost my joy in parenting and in my spiritual walk with Christ. Already, God is showing me new plans for my life for the year of 2011. MY plans were to continue with school to obtain my Elementary Education degree(only 3 semesters left). I had to pass 2 Major exams in order to get into the program and after 2 tries....I finally passed. But, God keeps shutting the door for now. I looked at the classes that I have to complete and each class only has one time it is offered and that is during the day- which throws me off because I have 2 boys who I cannot afford to send to daycare! Plus- even if I could send them to daycare---I would not! I love being at home with them each day and night! So, me being upset, because I WANT to finish school, Brandon and I prayed and decided that right now is not the best time. I have mixed emotions about it all! One day I am so sad because I have made great friends and they are all younger than me and pursuing there degree..I have been in school for 6 years off and on... and I feel like I am a failure and letting my family down. On another day- I am soooooo excited! I can finally keep our house clean during my down time instead of stressing over homework! I can grow close to God in my spiritual walk, instead of always putting "school" first. I can have a back to normal lifestyle! I am excited that I can spend time with my children and not have that thought in the back of my mind that I should be working on assignments! I know God knows what He has planned for our family and even though I may think that I should continue school....right now He is showing me a different direction. I really am looking forward to 2011! I am going to set goals and make the most of every moment! In May, my sister will be giving me a niece or nephew to spoil rotten!!! We will also be celebrating Graham's 1st birthday and Noah's 4th birthday in May!!! Well- enough of me me me stories!! Our family is very excited about Christmas this year!! The rest of the family should be arriving on the 23rd! I have presents to wrap and just few more to buy :) We have been watching Christmas movies and eating lots of junk food (exception of the hubby- he is on a diet --and looking hott! I have been eating his portion of junk food for him!!) This most is soooo random, I know!! I just have a lot on my mind and a lot to be thankful for!!! Are you ready for picture overload?!!!! Here we are!!!

Noah is at such a fun age right now! Here is our most recent conversation about Jesus' Birthday:

Me: Noah do you know why we celebrate Christmas?

Noah: We get to open presents!!

Me: Do you know whose birthday are we celebrating?

Noah: JESUS!! Can we go to His birthday party at Chuckee Cheese?

Me: Jesus lives in Heaven. But we will be celebrating His birthday on Christmas. We can sing to him and even make him a cake!

Noah: We can't go to Heaven for His party...Heaven is a long long long car ride Mom!

This is what my boys do on a daily basis- bounce and play BUZZ lightyear!!

Brandon and I are sooooooooooo ready for Christmas!!

It is very hard to get both boys to look at the camera at the exact same time. (can you see we practically live in our buzz jammies?!)

My sweet Graham- Sitting up already! Where do the time go?! He is 7 months old!

What has he been up to?! Everything! He is sitting up, eating baby food and still taking his bottle, sleeping most nights through the night! PTL! He is very alert and active, just like his big brother! He still takes 2-3 naps a day! He is becoming very mobil...rolling around and trying to crawl!! He laughs and talks all day long...and looooves to be held!! He is wearing a size 3 diaper and 6-9, 9-12 month clothing! He weighs a whopping 18 lbs!! I love my chunky monkey!!

Preschool- Here we COME!

2010-07-25T20:00:00.000-07:00

Noah and I have been at Preschool for the past year! I have been teaching part time, two days a week for 5 hours a day! It has been great! I had an awesome group of 4 year olds this year! Noah has been in the 2 year old class, but is getting ready to promote to the 3 year olds. He has learned a lot and I am so glad he loves his preschool! He gets sooooo excited talking about it! Here are some pictures of Noah throughout the 2009 school year.

Preschool Graduation- May 16, 2010 Noah (is right above)

Back In Milan and Enjoying Some MILAN FOOTBALL!

2010-07-25T19:37:00.000-07:00

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????

The Spain's are !

One of the things we missed about living back home was some Milan High School football! I was a Milan cheerleader through Middle and High School. I honestly can say that for 7 years I only learned a few things about football. One of the things being, which team was on offense and which team was on defense. Sad and pathetic---- best describes me--- I know!!! But, I loved to cheer them on! While living 8 hours away, we would sometimes stay home on Friday nights and get online to listen to some Milan football, all decked out in our PURPLE AND WHIITE! When we moved back we took Noah to his first Milan game! Boy, was it fun! He kept us busy- running up and down bleachers, wanting a snack, wanting to see the mascot- the bulldog! But it was a BLAST!

Back in the day photos of me cheering!

My 2 boys getting ready to watch some ball!

Spain- Hopefully one day I will see my boy playing some football!

Who let the DAWGS out ?!?!

Noah's 1st ER Visit, and hopefully the LAST!

2010-07-24T20:31:00.000-07:00

Brandon decided one Saturday morning to let me sleep in and he would take Noah out to the family farm. Noah loves the farm. He likes to ride 4-wheelers, the mule, and the tractor. About 9:30 a.m. I am laying in the bed and I get a phone call on my cell and it is Brandon saying "meet me at the ER, Noah's finger is cut bad!" Well, I jump out of bed, put my clothes on and tell my MIL that we have to get to the ER. Needless to say, we get there, I am more calm than I thought I would be, Brandon is a basket-case, Noah is screaming, blood is everywhere! They get him all stitched up and bandaged up and we go to Sonic to get a slush and head back out to the farm. Brandon is explaining to me what happened and Noah's finger starts gushing again and we head back to the ER, because it is pouring out from the band aid. The sweet nurse reapplies the bandage and we go home for a much needed nap and calm of nerves. SO what happened? Noah was playing in the cab of the tractor and he tells Brandon to open the door to get him out. Brandon went to open the door to let N out and his finger was between the hinge thing and as he opened the door it sliced into Noah's finger almost cutting the tip of his middle left finger off! Praise the Lord that it only needed 5 stitches! But, until this day, Noah remembers exactly what happened and which finger! He calls it his "boo boo" finger. Hopefully this will be our LAST experience at the ER!

MOVING TIME.....

2010-07-24T16:02:00.000-07:00

A sad time in our life, but also a happy time. Here is our story.

In 2007, 4 months after Noah was born, God called us to a town called Ashland, Ky. It was 8 hours away from all our family and friends. Brandon had been called to be their full time youth minister and associate pastor. It was very difficult because our little home town of Milan had been where the both of us had grown up our entire lives. We had prayed and prayed about our decision and knew that God was calling and we had to go. We wanted and still want to remain in God's will for our lives. This move was emotional. We were happy- a new beginning, new home, new friends, new church, new lives to influence. We were sad- leaving family, leaving friends, Noah was only 16 weeks old, coming out of our comfort zone.

Hello Ashland, Kentucky !!

We lived in Ashland for 2 years in our wonderful apartment!

Our apartments faced the back, so we were fortunate to have the Ohio River in our back yard!

While serving in Ky, we met wonderful wonderful friends :) Some we will never ever forget! Our Sunday School class was filled with great couples! You know that friends will last a lifetime, when you move 8 hours away and you still talk, cry together, and miss each other like CRAZY! OH, and when you drive 8 hours just to see them!! But, I will do another post on our KY friends later....we do miss them dearly! So, in July of 2009, Brandon and I felt God calling us back to our home town to serve at a Christian School as a Bible teacher and for Brandon to preach on the weekend for pastors needing a fill-in. I was soooo excited to be moving back closer to our families, but then again sad to leave friends that were just as close as family!

We recieved the call on a Thursday afternoon that Brandon had got the job and we had to be packed up and in Milan on the following Tuesday for his inservice. Talk about a quick transition! I had our home packed by Sunday night and we were leaving town on a Monday morning.

July 2009- Hello Milan, TN

Moving quickly, we had no time to even look for a place to live. Brandon's parents graciously allowed us to live in the back portion of their home. We stayed their 6 months. During that 6 months we searched for the perfect home that fit our budget, I started teaching 4 year old preschool students, Noah first ER experience , and we found out that our 2nd child would make an arrival in May 2010.

4th of July 2009

2010-06-30T20:39:00.001-07:00

This year we celebrated the 4th with family in Milan. We ended up riding back from the beach with Lolli and Pop. Brandon decided he would drive back to TN to come get us in a week. We enjoyed the visit. We gathered with church family for a city/church wide 4th of July fellowship with amazing hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, jumpers, music, and fireworks! Noah loved every minute of the firework show! I enjoyed being home to see family, but was even more excited to see Brandon when he got there :) It is soo hard on me being away from him, I start going through withdrawls!

Checking himself out in the mirror of the motorcycle!

Noah getting ready for church, but, he has to ride the motorcycle first!

I love my Lolli

Happy 4th of July.

Panama City Beach Florida- Youth Trip/ Noah's 1st Trip to the BEACH!

2010-06-29T07:17:00.000-07:00

Noah's 1st steps on the beach (July 2009)

Panama City Beach--Here we come!! My favorite place to be is.........the BEACH! I have been going since I was about 6 years old. Every year my parents would take our family to the same place. PCB. We would stay in the same hotel every time. We enjoyed each other, the sun, the sand, the food, the current music, the water park, the pools, grilling out, sitting on the balcony, shopping, meeting new friends, playing games, and making memories that last a lifetime. When we were younger the "memas" (Mema Betty and Mema Cloys) would tag along for the fun, but as we got older, we got to bring a friend- and that sure was fun! My best friend is Haley and she always would go with me! We had a blast...and made lots of crazy memories!! It is funny how things change....we grow up and we all go our different ways!

During our ministry at Rose Hill Baptist Church, Brandon scheduled/planned this youth trip to PCB. Longing to see the beach and longing to take Noah for the first time, I, was very thrilled about this upcoming youth trip. I try to tag along to most of the youth trips, but with a young-in it becomes difficult at times. But, I was not going to miss out on this fun! Fun-fellowship-worship- at the beach---can't get much better than this!

My parents were also in PCB taking their annual trip! They helped me out while we would be in the conferences they would take N to their condo. I get mixed emotions when I look back at these photos and think about the memories.

I get happy and sad all at the same time! Happy- Noah's first beach experience- many youth accepting Christ as their Savior- Christians growing in their walk with Him- family together-fun at the waterpark. Sad- parents last "real" trip together as a married couple. Unfortunately, my parents separated about 6 months ago-I remember thinking in school how lucky I was to have parents that have stuck together through thick and thin, so this situation has taken its toll on me. Sadly, there is nothing I can do to fix this, but, I can continue to pray for them.

Ok, so enough of the sappy stuff! Here are the pictures to show what a wonderful time we had!

2010-06-22T09:44:00.000-07:00

It has probably been about a year since I have blogged and my goal is to blog weekly and then maybe after that goal is reached, maybe even start blogging daily :) There have been many new and exciting things that have happened over the past year. So..... in order for me to get caught up and not to miss a big blogging moment in our lives...I am going to make a "list", (I love making lists) of things that I want to blog on..... and over the next week, I will work on the list!

Ok, so I mentioned I was behind on posting, so now is time to catch up. Here are more pictures from NC.

Landon pulling Noah around in the wagon at the BBQ party :) Noah loves wagons.

He also played outside from sun up till sun down. No LIE.

Poor thing is deprived from being outside, since the apt. do not really offer a lot of playing room.

This picture was taken Sunday morning before church.

Brandon was studying to preach at Michael's church and Noah was playing the D.S.

Hannah and Noah (buddies)

Adrian and Noah being boys and getting dirty.

Abigail and Noah playing with sticks!

Our little daredevil... not scared of a thing. I do not know who took this picture, maybe aunt aunt... but I am glad I wasn't outside I would have freaked out! That slide is really big!

Noah using assistance from Papa! Although, the above picture shows he was sooo not scared!

Noah and I at the graduation party playing air hockey.

Again in the wagon..

Mommy and Noah relaxing after a big weekend!

These were our daily night routines while in NC. He was filthy after playing soo hard outside every waking minute.

He is growing up tooo fast!

Noah's 2nd Birthday - May 25, 2009

2009-06-13T12:53:00.000-07:00

I know this post is long overdue, but honestly, I blame it on my computer! It would always freeze up and run very slowly and that frustrated me. I would get to a post and it would take all night to get the pictures up! But, thanks to my lovely husband, Brandon, we got a new MAC, and yes, I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It is much faster and more high-tech, which I like.

This year we went down to North Carolina for Brandon's brother's graduation from seminary! It took us about 9 hours to get there (due to a 2 hour clean up from a wreck) and 7 hours to get back! We really enjoyed seeing family! Brandon's mom and dad and aunt also came in for the grad. Noah and his cousin Adrian share birthdays very close together. Adrian was born on May 14, 2007 and Noah was born on May 25, 2007, Pettra and I decided since we would be in on the weekend of Noah's birthday, that this year happened to fall on Memorial Day, we would celebrate a double 2 year old party! It was really great we went to a place called Jumping Beans! It is all that you can imagine, we reserved a room with a big inflatable!

Birthday boys at Jumping Beans in North Carolina!

Everyone get ready for picture OVERLOAD: lots of fun stuff to show the family and keep as a journal of memories :)

Noah and I peeking in at HIS birthday party!

This nice banner was made by the Jumping Beans Employees.

They treat us like royalty...isn't it nice when someone is kind ?!

Aunt was at Noah and Adrian's Party taking lots of pictures!

And....Nana and Papa were there too.. We could not get Papa to get in the jump house, but Nana stuck here head in to get pictures and video :)

Uncle Michael and Aunt Pettra

Landon -10 years old

Abigail- 5 years old

Hannah Beth- 4 years old

This was daddy in the jump house and this was the "calmest" thing he did all night! He is such a big KID!

This is what I did most of the time in the Jump House: I did slide two times :)

Mommy and Daddy

The cupcake cake turned out to be a hit! Not to many messes :)

Singing Happy Birthday to the boys:

This is serious: I promise my child is not a dog, and does not eat like this at home. What made him think he needed to eat his cupcake this way, i do not have a clue ?!

The end results of the cupcakes:

We ended that party by opening birthday presents:

*Thanks to all who family who attended and helped with the party. It was such a success. We love you guys!

*Shout out to Lolli, Pop, Mema, Papa, Andrea, and Chris. Sorry you guys could not be here :( Thanks for the presents and know that we will always love you!

Easter Weekend

2009-04-13T10:20:00.000-07:00

The Spain household had an AMAZING Easter weekend! We had lots of things going on this past week and weekend. Brandon's parents got in last Sunday night and stayed until Thursday morning. During that week, Brandon worked until noon each day, I had school, and choir practice every night. So we were busy busy. Friday morning our dear friends invited us over to dye easter eggs with their kids! This was my first time and Noah's first time to ever dye eggs! It was great fun! The kids hunted for easter eggs and also decorated cookies. Not to mention, Noah also fell down Brian and Kelly's basement stairs, before I could even get to him. He went head first! Luckily, Kelly caught him at the bottom. I was shaken up because I could not get to him quick enough and he did not cry a bit! Tough kiddo! Thanks Kel for catching my son! Then on Friday and Saturday night we had our Easter Musical..which was a great success! Sunday we had a great day! We went to church and had around 585 which is a good attendance for our church! Since we do not have family living here, one of the precious couples in our church invited us over for lunch! It was very good. We then played outside with bubbles and came home to get N down for nap! I had to be back at church at 5 for a sound check and then we performed the musical one last time!! It just was a great day in the Lord's house! He is Risen! Hallelujah! Here are some of the pictures from our fun filled weekend!

Noah after church: His cute little chick shirt says:
Yo Chicks Dig Me on the top and the bottom says: Momma's
Little Chick Magnet.

Happy Easter 2009!

Daddy thought it would be cute to put his hat on backwards.

This picture shows Noah's entire outfit...babies and all!

His babies are his passy and blanket!

A few Easter suprises for Noah from Mommy and Daddy!

Noah's Eggs that he dyed!

The easter egg cookie that Noah took a bite out of before

he even decorated it! Typical!

I promise I am getting my hair cut soon! UGH!

-Let me give you insight on what happened when we started

dying the eggs. We put Noah's egg in orange first! So I gave him

the spoon to let him stir the egg to cover it in dye! Well, me con-

centrating on him not spilling the dye everywhere...did not realize he

was getting spoonfuls of liquid and drinking it and going MMMMmmm.

My comments! Thank goodness it was NON-TOXIC!!

Happy Birthday PAPA!

2009-02-17T19:25:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday,
Sorry the video is kind of shaky, Noah insisted to sing AND play!
Hope you had a wonderful day!

Biz's Beat of the Day

2009-01-29T19:20:00.000-08:00

Have you ever heard of Yo Gabba Gabba? Noah loves this tv show that comes on Noggin. I have to admit it is weird, but sooo entertaining for him! Every episode has a "Biz's Beat of the Day", this is where they teach vocal precussion! Since, Brandon does some vocal precussion, Noah loves to try to do it. It is sooo precious! When it goes off, he says AGAIN!

Noah's 1st Time to Play In the SNOW!!

2009-01-27T08:24:00.000-08:00

Noah and Daddy

Our neighbors came out and let us borrow their cool sled!
Noah absolutely loved it! Everytime we would ask him if he was ready to go inside, he would say NO!

Mommy and Noah (excuse the NO makeup, who wants to wear make-up on a snow day?!)

My favorite pic of the day! My two boys!

Last night, the weather man kept calling for 4-8 inches of snow and we got it!!!

We actually are under a Winter Storm Warning until Wednesday evening. So we are partly prepared, I did not realize we did not have much juice stored up for Noah, so we are really praying he does not drink alot today:) You have to understand my son is always drinking something!! When we woke up this morning we saw a beautiful "Winter Wonderland." I am not really a snow person, I think its beautiful, but I just do not like to be cold! Brandon and I thought we would take Noah to play in it. We bundled and layerd him up that he could barely move! And, excuse the cowboy boots, that is seriously the only shoe we had for him that get wet and snowy. Thanks to Lolli! She bought Noah these boots in Gatlinburg and I know that this was not her intentions for these boots! But, I promise next time we will have "real' snow boots! They served the purpose though! I think we got like 5 inches! Our pictures in the snow are on the pavement mostly, because Noah sunk so far down in the snow! We did not want his toesies to get wet! Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Here is a video of Noah walking on ice and sledding....disregard the shaky camera, I was trying to keep up!

Walk by Faith

2008-12-28T13:25:00.000-08:00

I have never been a like tattoo freak, and being a Youth Pastor's wife, it probably is not the best for me to get a tattoo. I personally, do not feel convicted about getting a tattoo, especially if it reminds me of God. I like foot tattoos the best out of any other place on the body. My favorite Christian Contemporary song is by Jeremey Camp "I will walk by faith, even when I cannot see." I thought this tattoo could be a daily reminder, Hey Amanda! Walk by Faith!! I love it and you can still where pumps with it and not see it if it is done on the side of your foot:) I love it...Let me know what you all think!

YUMMY!

2008-12-15T19:43:00.000-08:00

Noah eating what he baked!

They were very good, we added green sprinkles!

more cookie pictures...

2008-12-15T19:34:00.001-08:00

This was the process of making our cookies!

Noah's 1st "Experince" making Christmas Cookies

2008-12-15T17:21:00.000-08:00

Tonight, Noah and I decided we would start a Christmas tradition and make Christmas Cookies! Noah had so much fun, and I did too! He wanted to throw all of his cookie dough balls that he made! Just his personality and boy genetics, I guess! Sorry the video is side ways... I could not rotate it. Hope you enjoy!

Bath Markers!

2008-11-15T18:30:00.000-08:00

Noah loves writing and baths! So we saw these markers and thought he would love them! Tonight was the first night to try them out! He loved them:)

2008-10-08T18:31:00.001-07:00

Noah loves to makes noises. This is one of his famous sounds...

Robeez

2008-10-07T14:29:00.000-07:00

Robeez are so great! All moms with infant/toddlers need to invest in these shoes! They are so easy to put on and sooooooo cute and comfortable. Noah had the off brand from target with the girafees on them and he has worn them out!! He wears them sometimes when they do not even match. I saw some Robeez booties online. I thought they would be perfect for the fall and winter. They came in the mail today and are too cute. These are an investment! I took some pictures of Noah with them on!

Noah at 17 months old...

2008-10-05T19:01:00.000-07:00

If your happy and you know it STOMP YOUR FEET!

2008-10-01T18:55:00.000-07:00

Ignore my singing....Enjoy Noah's dancing....As you can see, Noah's favorite part is stomp your feet!!

2008-10-01T13:35:00.000-07:00

I am trying to decide what Noah should be this year for our Trunk or Treat Halloween at Church. What do you think!?! Here is a sneak peak of the hats...I got both outfits but probably will take one back..

More cuuuuuuute clothes...

2008-10-01T08:47:00.000-07:00

Cosignment Sells are AWESOME!!

2008-10-01T08:26:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I guess you could say today feels truly like a Fall Day! We woke up this morning and it was in the 50's. The high is only suppose to be like 62. So, I realized Noah had only 2 Fall outfits! So he has one on, but I went to a consignment shop called Trendy Tot's...and I got some cuuuuuuuuuuute things!! The things is there name brand, Gap, Children's Place, Gymboree, and Old Navy. 9 things for $60! I was sooo excited! I can't wait for Noah to wear them! Here are the things I got! Comment and tell me what you think!!

My Little Monkey Jumping on the BED!

Michael Jordan has nothing on Noah Paul Spain! Just kidding...Noah told his daddy he wants to be just like Michael Jordan!

Recorder!

2008-08-28T17:22:00.000-07:00

Ok, so my school classes have started and for my Elementary Education Music class we have to learn to play to recorder. Of course, Noah wanted to learn how to play too.... so I thought this was cute him trying to make the noise that the recorder makes...notice he is not blowing, half the time he is just making the noises! I guess I need to get him one of his own!

Think I am Dizzy..Just a little bit!!

Noah was spinning in circles today in his room!

Putt Putt Golf

2008-08-07T09:28:00.001-07:00

Brandon and I took the youth to play putt putt after church one Sunday night and Noah wanted to play too! Luckily, the course had plastic putters for boys like Noah! He had fun and tried so hard to hit the ball in the hole. By the end of the night, he wanted the REAL putter!!

First Word=BALL

2008-08-07T09:20:00.000-07:00

Noah is going to be a true "baller." He said his first word at around 8 months old and guess what it was...of course, BALL! This is one of the many pictures of Noah and his BALL!

Happy Feet

2008-08-07T08:34:00.000-07:00

Noah loves to dance! His "Happy Feet" Dance takes place in our bathroom. Sorry for the annoying "mother" voice. I did not realize it until one of my friends commented about it on her video and then I realized I sounded like that too... I guess all mommy's have that "video" voice! Sorry! Enjoy Noah's dancing!

Noah celebrated his birthday party at Papa's Farm in Tennessee... It sure was a hot day but lots of fun. His party theme was farm animals! It's hard to believe he is ONE!
