Jaiden is FINALLY potty trained. He has had one whole week, seven days without ANY accidents. This rocks. I am so happy to hear Jaiden come get me and say, "I need to go potty, hurry mommy."
No more pull up for day times. He can take a nap and be dry and only goes once or twice in the night. I am so happy
Just had to share

Contentment
I have two reasons for writing this blog about contentment.
con·tent·ment –noun - the state of being contented; satisfaction; ease of mind
My first reason is my Daily Devotions, I get from Leah Evaschuk, each and every morning in my emails.
The second reason is this is something that I am dealing with.
Here is Leah's Daily Devotion on this:
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in and and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Colossians 4:12-13
My Thoughts: Being content is a battle isn't it? Sometimes we say "Oh when this happens I will be content, oh when we get this bill paid then I will be content, oh when I get this item I will be content." That's not being content. It is possible to be content regardless of what you have or what you have achieved. It is possible to have all or nothing and your contentment still remain the same. Contentment doesn't come with what you have, if you always desire something then you will never be content, and not being content stirs up an unsettling soul. The ability to not be content leaves rooms for idols, and in turn only causes destruction. Not searching or finding contentment will make your heart heavy and it will be so hard to see all the beauty that you do have in your life. The secret to contentment is trusting God.
Pray & Reflect: What do you do to insure your contentment in your life? What could you do better? How are you trusting God in your life? Pray for these things, pray for each other, pray that we all may be content in every situation not asking for more, but say "thank you thank you Lord for what you have given"
I hope all of you have a wonderfully blessed day! I challenge you today to find contentment, when you start to say "oh if only I had, or I wish" take a step back and say "No, THANK YOU Lord for all you have provided, I will trust you, for you know my needs, you will never forsake me."
This was the email I got from Leah on Wednesday of this week, and it really hit me. I found myself through out the day saying, "Thank you Lord for all you have provdied for me and I am content."
It is so true that so many people go thru life each and every day saying, "I would be perfectly content if I just had this or that."
One of those persons is ME. I really needed this Daily from Leah to show me that there are so many things I already have in my life that I need to be content about. The life and love I have is enough to allow me to be content in this world. All the other things are just material items.
More than anything this post was just for me to share with you the great work one daily devotion has done in my life in just the past few days.
Look in your life and see all the things you already have that make your life content. Thank God each and every day for those things. We all have needs and God will provide.

Jaiden's 2 1/2 Year Old Pictures
In June we took Jaiden's 2 1/2 year old pictures with my friend Jhen Stark, from Jenny Ann Photography. You can find her blog and contact her from the blogs we love on the side of my blog. Here are some of the photos she took. There are so many more. If you are friends with me on Facebook you can see them all. Enjoy! Thanks Jhen

What's New
New things...
In the beginning of May I, Heather, started Weight Watchers and so far as of today July 9, 2010 I have lost over 20 pounds.
Jaiden is 2 1/2 and he is almost fully potty trained. He maybe has one accident a week which is good, I think.
Dusty is still working in Redlands for Edison. He got his previous months stats and they are great. Good Job Babe!
