Fridays Fave Five

So I filled this out on Friday and for some reason it did not post....so here it is today! Today(as in last Friday!) I am taking part in Friday's Fave Five. Today I am going to tell you five of my favorite things about Fall. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love so many thing about fall.

1. Fall leaves

Watching the leaves change colors and watching the leaves fall from the trees is such a wonderful display of God's work. Feelings the cool air blow while I am outside with Calleigh and Drew makes me smile. I LOVE hearing the leaves crunch as you walk across them and this year I am looking forward to getting to pile up leaves and jump in them with Calleigh!

2. Pumpkin Patches

In my opinion, there is nothing better than going to a pumpkin patch and picking out your very own pumpkin. I am looking forward to taking Calleigh this year. Not only is it such a fun place, it is a great photo opportunity! Watching Calleigh paint her pumpkin is year is going to be so fun! I know that she is going to have a blast!

3. Campfires and Smores

Does this really need an explanation? Roasting hotdogs, marshmellows, and most importantly making smores. Drinking some hot apple cider right along with it is making my mouth water already! YUMMY!!!!

4. Sweaters and hoodies

There is not feeling like the one who you pull on a sweater or hoodie. The warmth that you feel is just great..........ahhh. With the weather being cool tonight, I might just slip on my hoodie and jeans and spend the evening outside with my family!

5. The Smells of Fall

From the smell of the leaves to the smell of apple cider, it is all such a wonderful smell. I would just like to grab it all, put it is a container, and have it all the time. I love walking outside and smelling burning leaves, pumpkin pie, apple cider, marshmellows......it's just great! And carmel apples........YUMMY!!!!!

What do you LOVE about Fall?

Busy, Busy, Busy

Busy is EXACTLY what we have been for the past month. August started out a little slower than normal, but no worries because it has more than made up for that . The second week in August Andrew started school again. He is busy teaching Algebra, Algebra II, Pre-Calc and Calc. He is also busy with Athletic Directing. I began training Resident Directors and Resident Assistants mid August, had new student move in, began registration, a second job, and a few little fix it jobs at the house. We have also re-done Calleigh's room to give her a big girl bed and a new barbie doll house, a new Sunday School teacher for the Toddlers and Two's class at church and currently in the process of being the leader for the float for the local parade. It's almost time to catch my breath.........but that does not come until mid-September. Here is a few pictures of Calleigh's new room:

Over the past few months we have decided to try a new budget system, and although it takes a LOT of discipline, we are making our way just fine. The second job was something that I only do for four hours on Saturday, but it's fun, it's extra money, and I like it! I was stressing myself out majorly about what God has in store and I prayed for God to life those worries off of me. Ever since then I have had such a peace, it's like nothing else I have ever felt, and It's AWESOME!!! I know that he is walking with me to get our finances in order and when the time is right he is going to give us another baby. And even though it is not my time, I really am ok with that. Andrew and I have always had a good, loving and strong marriage but lately thing have been better than ever, and I know that it's all because I gave my worries to God. I feel like such a different person. It's amazing what this freedom feels like!

Just for fun, Calleigh feel asleep eating lasagna the other night at dinner and I could not help but to take a picture.......Too funny and Too cute!

Wedding and VBS

Life at the Wibbeler house had been VERY busy lately. We were gone to Tennessee last week for my brother-in-law's wedding. We had a BBQ one night with both families, the next day was golf for the men and pedicures and manicures for the woman and well as the bridal luncheon and that night was rehearsal, that next day was the wedding, and then we came home Sunday. Andrew and Calleigh were in the wedding(Best Man and Flower Girl) and I got to help a little behind the scenes. I got Calleigh down the aisle then helped the bride get her dress all ready to go see her groom. I had the honor of praying for the bridesmaids, the mothers and most importantly for the bride. I was very honored that my sister-in-law, Nancy, asked me to do that. God is such an important part of Andrew and I's marriage and I know that Kevin and Nancy are going to have such a great life together and they always have God on the side. What a wonderful way to start a marriage!

Here are three pictures of Calleigh in her Flower girl dress from the wedding!

Waiting for cake...the best part! Yummy!

Posing on stage!

The Flower girl doing her duty.....throwing the petals!

When we got home we had Vacation Bible School that night and we have been there every night this week. The closing program is tonight. It was so much fun to see how much fun the kids had and how much they love the Lord. There is nothing better, in my opinion, than seeing the Lord at work, and boy was he busy this week! Here is a video of my little one last night singing the theme song.

She makes me so proud when she knows who Jesus is, when she says her prayers, and when we read bible stories I know that she is understanding who the Lord is and what he is doing and has done for us. I hope that through Andrew and I she sees how much the Lord loves her. He has blessed us so much and does so each and every day! Well, Let the Vast Voyage begin......off to the closing Bible School Program! Have a great weekend everyone!

Header Update and Pictures!

Erin at Designer Blogs updated my header with new pictures of Andrew, Calleigh and I and I love it! If you need a blog design or just a header, go and check her out! Her link is in the sidebar to the right at the bottom, or you can just click here!

Here are a few updated pics of our weekend! "J", a second cousin to Calleigh, turned one and we had some fun at his birthday party. He was not feeling well, but his Older sister "E" and Calleigh had a blast on the slip and slide. We did not know there was going to be a slip and slide, so we did not pack a swimsuit for Calleigh. Luckily, "E" is just one year older so we just borrow a t-shirt from her! Here are some pictures!


The girls had a great time! This weekend is going to be very busy. Andrew's cousin is getting married on Saturday which means we have a busy day and then we have a lot of work to do this weekend around our house. We the last softball game of the regular season tonight, tomorrow night is work night at our house, Saturday is full of wedding things, and Sunday it is Calleigh and Mommy day as Daddy is going to St. Louis with his Uncle and Grandpa to watch the Cardinals play! Then back to work on Monday!

God in the most unexpected places

Sometimes when we least expect it but need it the most, God shows up in the most unexpected places. I went to the dentist this morning for my 6-month cleaning and I was a little nervous this time. I usually am just fine. I have good teeth normally do not need anything out the ordinary done. Today, I went in and was thrown off. The dental hygienist who usually cleans my teeth was busy today helping with a surgery. A new lady, who we'll call "L" called my name. As I followed her back to her room, I wondered how this would go, how long had she been doing this, is she going to make my teeth hurt, and so on. When we got back to her room I notice some pictures of her children, all grown, 1 boy and 2 girls. She talked about her two girls and I told her about Calleigh. She read on my chart that I was taking prenatal vitamins and asked if we were trying for another baby. I explained that it took 19 months with Calleigh and we had been trying for a while. I also told her that I was going to have some test ran in a couple of days to see if I might be having some fertility problems again. She proceeded to clean my teeth and then she paged the dentist. We talked about my husbands family and she knew some of them and we talked about what a small world it really is.

When the dentist came into the room to take a look at my teeth, she was there with us. Dr. T has been a friend of my parents for a long time. I grew up with his wife. She as 10 years older than me and she was always like the big sister I never had. Jody and I were very close and we still are. She actually is the one referred me to Dr. Beckman, who is my OBGYN. She was the one who helped me get ready for my wedding and did my makeup. Needless to say, we are close and have been for a while. Dr. T told me that my teeth look good and then asked how everything was going with our family. I told him about Andrew, Calleigh and with trying to have another baby and everything else is going on with our life. He told me that he and Jody would pray for us. Then L, who had been my hygienist, also said she would pray for us. She told me when it was God's timing that he would give me a baby. She told me that it's his will. He gives and takes away. Then she got teary-eyed and told me about how she had a son who had passed away 10 years ago unexpectedly. She told me they only planned on having two children and then she was surprised with three. She said it was not their plan, but she was ok with it. Then she told me how God gave her three because her daughters would needed other when their brother passed away. And she was right. I never expected to be an only child, but I am. I never have wanted Calleigh to be an only child, but as of right now, she is and if and when it's God's will, he will give her a sibling.

It's nice to know that no matter where you are, God is there with you. He is in the most unexpected places. He is teaching me to trust him unconditionally and know it is his will and his time, not mine.

Calleigh's First Trip to the Zoo and Chuck E. Cheese

We took Calleigh to the Zoo for the first time this past Saturday. She had a great time with Mommy, Daddy, Nana and Papaw. She LOVES animals and it was nice to relax and walk around with her. It was not to awful hot, which was nice. Her favorite animals were the Tiger, the Giraffes, and the Turtles. She LOVES turtles! After the Zoo we headed over to Chuck E. Cheese. The pizza and breadsticks were delicious and she had a great time playing with all of the toys and games!
