Big Boots and Tadpoles

Big Boots and Tadpoles: You Gotta Love Little Boys ! I really wasn't sure what I was going to do my next post on until I just looked outside. Isaiah and his friend Hunter are out collecting tadpoles and are moving them from one place to another. So I just look out the door while I am typing and they both are in boots that are 3x too big for them walking across the driveway carrying buckets to collect more tadpoles. It was the cutest thing that I have seen in awhile. I guess once your kids are past the baby/toddler stage those times where everything they do is cute is far and few between but, it is times like this when you realize how precious and innocent they still are. It is amazing how fast they are growing up and there is nothing I can do about it except try to raise them the best to my ability and pray continually that they will grow up to be God loving, descent men! I am afraid that I don't pray enough for them but I guess I just have to believe that God hears the prayers that I have in my heart for them. I know God has great plans for my boys but I just pray that I don't screw them up somehow to hinder those plans! Raising children is a huge resposibility but I am glad that I have realized that I don't have to do it on my own. There is someone out there that has even bigger hopes, brighter dreams and loves them more than I can comprehend and will protect them even when I can not! I am definately far from a perfect parent, not even close perhaps but I can at least try to show them Gods love through me. Which I am still working at big time because sometimes you just don't feel much like lovin the little buggers. I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 1Samuel 1:27

Aww Kimmy Rayner. You raised me to be a good little gentlemen! *raises eyebrows and questions herself.*
I'm probably listening to some Disney tunes right now from Florida. Good times. Makes for a good post! RIGHT KIM!?! and how we're going again!! RIGHT KIM!?! Kim rayner is pumped for may rally. I've decided that for you.
Also, about your post, I think that you should yell at those horrid little children and tell them to put back the tadpoles. I mean, they were going to grow to be nice daddy and mommy frogs, and now they are all going to die a slow, and horrible death. *sniff*
Anyways, good post.
Hers a great song line from Beauty and the Beast:
"She glanced this way, I thought I saw! And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw!"

Speaking of decent men, I have a question. Where do babies come from? I mean what they tell me just doesn't make sense...a stork? Come on how dumb do i look?

I suck because I actually didn't get a pic! What do you mean it doesn't make sense, a baby, a large bird carrying it through the air and dropping off to expectant parents. Haven't you watched the real Grinch movie! Sometimes I think there may have been a strong wind that blew my real children off to Chinese people or something! Who knows the real story anyway, I think I slept through it!

Once upon a time, a boy and a girl went into a car wash...that is how the real baby story begins...

that was FREAKING hilarious stephy...

good post kim... i appreciate your heart and trust that as you learn to follow God's leading He will allow you to bring those boys up right... p.s. James Dobson has a book called Bringing Up Boys if you ever want a good read on the topic...

just believe that your whipper snappers are in good hands... don't buy the lies that they are not... you know where the lies come from... hint: not the stork...
