I have a confession to make!

The Tooth Fairy Fail...

Matthew lost his first tooth today!

     I am good at many things...but this Tooth Fairy thing is a real struggle for me.  I did well when it was only the two girls.  Keeping up with the teeth and sneaking a dollar under the pillow was not that hard.  Then it began.  I woke up early and I realized the Tooth Fairy did not visit last night and that she was going to have to be real sneaky to get that tooth out and replace it with a dollar without waking the sleeping child in the early morning light.  Mission accomplished. Barely!!!

     When more children began to join the family so began the Tooth Fairy's many requests and excuses.  

1. The Tooth Fairy must of flown by and saw you were not really asleep. (Mom tried to wait for everyone to go to sleep but fell asleep waiting.)
2. She must have had a lot of teeth last night to exchange.  I am sure she will come tomorrow. (Mom laid down for just a moment and fell asleep last night.)
3. I am sorry she did not come again last night I am sure she will tomorrow. (Because this Mom does not carry cash and forgot again to get change)
4. You know I think maybe she could not find your tooth under your pillow so maybe we should tape it to your bed. (This after a harrowing experience of exchanging a tooth from a light sleeper)
5. You know sometimes it falls off the bed because you move around so much let's put it on your dresser. (Trying to give easier access to the tooth so Mom does not wake the light sleepers.)
6. Wow look here is your money the Tooth Fairy must have dropped it right here by your bed because she was in a hurry.  (Mom again realized she failed to to get change and she had to borrow from Grama and Papa and then dropped it on the floor as she was waking them up for the day)
7. Look the Tooth Fairy came while we were gone this morning. (I am sure there was a good excuse for that one I just can't remember.)
8. I think it would be a lot easier for the Tooth Fairy to find your tooth if we just tape it to your door. (No creaky doors to deal with this way.)

     I am sure there are more excuses I have made for the Tooth Fairy's failure to show up, but these are a few that I can remember.  I really do feel bad when I forget. Especially more than once! I can only hope when the kids are older they will laugh about it and compare notes of the many excuses I gave for the Tooth Fairy failing to appear.  

     For now I have...I mean the Tooth Fairy has a job to do...let's just hope she has enough change and does not have to run down to the store!

Getting the tooth ready for the Tooth Fairy before bed.

All ready for the Tooth Fairy.

It's a bird...No it's a plane...No it's Superman!

My friend Lori messaged me one day to let me know about some famous people who I forgot were also adopted.  With three boys who are adopted (the fourth one being adopted today) of course I am talking about Superheroes!  

Some of them I had I known about... 

...and some I did not know their family story.  

As we are heading to the courthouse this morning I am also reminded of a couple other adoption stories.  In the bible are the adoption stories of Moses, Esther, & Jesus.  But I am also reminded about the most amazing gift of adoption in 
Ephesians 1:4-5
God choose us to belong to Christ before the world...So he decided long ago to adopt us as his children...
Wow adoption has always been part of God's plan from the very begining!  Very cool!  So we are off to the courthouse today to add our story to the other amazing adoption stories.  Here is a list of some more famous people who are adopted.

Destiny

In a family your bound to have at least one child who can really set you to giggling over the things they say or do!  With 8 kids I have more than one!  Destiny Dawn Esther is one of mine.
A couple of months ago Destiny had been complaining about needing a new pair of shoes.  So I mentally went through her closet and new she had a pair of tie shoes.  Every couple of weeks she would mention to me about needing new shoes.  My answer to her was always something like this ... you don't need a new pair you have a perfectly good pair right there!  To prove my point her is a picture of the shoes!

Perfectly good shoes :)

So I am thinking maybe she does not want to wear them because she does not want to take the time to tie them, or she saw some of the other kids get new shoes that they needed.  I was not sure what her reason was, but I was not going to spend money on new shoes when she had a good pair already. She never told me why she thought she needed new shoes.  Fast forward a couple of months... 
Grama found on the ground a pair of new socks that she had given to Destiny just that morning. They were white in the morning, but now at the end of the day the bottoms were filthy!  She asked Destiny if she was walking around outside with just her socks and she said no my shoes did that.  I said bring them here they need to be washed... this is what we found...

Bottom of not so perfect shoes!

Yes those are 3 big holes!  I am not a mind reader these shoes fit they looked fine to me.  I did not think to check the bottom of the shoes!!!  Why she never told me she had big holes on the bottoms I will never know.  From now on I will be checking the bottom of her shoes!!!

Going to see the Judge!

I am very happy to say we are going to see the Judge today... :O)

I am a little excited!  LOL!  Okay Extremely excited, overjoyed, overwhelmed...

Adoption day is finally here!!!

I do not believe there are any words in the dictionary to describe all that I feel!  

It makes it even more fun today to know that November is National Adoption Month!

Adoption Month History

The first major effort to promote awareness of the need for adoptive families for children in the foster care system occurred in Massachusetts. In 1976, then-Governor Mike Dukakis proclaimed Adoption Week and the idea grew in popularity and spread throughout the nation. President Gerald Ford made the first National Adoption Week proclamation, and in 1990, the week was expanded to a month due to the number of states participating and the number of events.

During the month, states, communities, public and private organizations, businesses, families, and individuals celebrate adoption as a positive way to build families. Across the nation, activities and observances such as recognition dinners, public awareness and recruitment campaigns, and special events spotlight the needs of children who need permanent families. It also includes National Adoption Day, traditionally a Saturday, which is observed in courthouses across the nation as thousands of adoptions are finalized simultaneously.

I love the thought that we are celebrating adoption with thousands of families at the same time we are celebrating the adoption of Kimberly, Kaeleigh, Nathan, Kasey, & Destiny.  I read this the other day:

”I heard a speaker on a radio program once talk about adoption in terms of "grafted into our family." I really like that image. When a branch of one tree is grafted onto another, it becomes part of that tree. Even though the branch and tree were originally from two different sources, they very quickly become united.”

Mindy Kroesche

This is my heart!  I love that God created adoption and it is His heart also.  It has been since the beginning of time.  I will close with one of my favorite scriptures that I have shared before:

I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child. (Ephesians 1:3-8)

We are counting the days!!!

We are counting down the days!  We are 2 days away from 12 years of "labor" ending (adoption labor)!  This has been the beginning of learning to laying things down at HIS feet and not trying to pick it back up.  This became a daily process, sometimes giving it back to the LORD became an hourly process.  LOL!  It is amazing how God knows what is best for us.  
Through this whole process the one thing I have held on to is something I felt the LORD told me at the very beginning of this "labor".  God is Big Enough!  I have tightly held on to that truth through these last 12 years.  
He is Big Enough to cover all the hurts, all the memories, all the emotional scars, and all the fears for the kids.  
He is Big Enough to hear all of my fears, to catch all of the tears, to listen to me rant how this is not fair, to hold me when I cry in frustration when I see my kids hurting, and to walk with me in this journey sometimes having to carry me.  
I continue to stand in awe of the journey that God has taken me on.  The Journey of becoming a Mom!  
Would I change anything?  I can stand here today and say No!  God's plans for Kimberly, Kaeleigh, Nathan, Kasey, Destiny, & I are perfect!  I am truly blessed to be these amazing kids Mom.  

As my 12 years of adoption labor comes to an end and we start our new journey I will continue to hold onto the truth that God is Big Enough to cover what ever may come.  Thank you to all who have helped us walk through this amazing journey!

November 2012

What I was doing 1 year ago today!

One year ago today I was sitting in a court room...
One year ago today I was trying not to cry...
One year ago today I was failing at not crying...
One year ago today I was laughing with joy...
One year ago today I was with family and friends...
One year ago today 2 years of "labor" ended...
One year ago today one journey ended and another began...
One year ago today Noah and Matthew became officially Conleys!

Noah at the park before he came to live with us!

Matthew at the park before he came to live with us!

 When these precious boys came to us our family was forever changed.  I thank you Lord that you gave us what we did not know we even needed! 
When Noah first came he was 2 and could only say 2 words.  Matthew was a baby, but he tested behind in some of his physical development.

After two weeks being in our home!

With consistency and love and a schedule and love and consistency and LOVE they began to sign to communicate, grow, talk, sit, crawl, laugh, and Love!
So today we celebrate a second birthday that they share!  Their adoption day!  The day the officially became:

Noah Paul Thomas Conley

&

Matthew Robert Aiden Conley

Getting all dressed up for the big day!

Family and Friends waiting outside the court room for our turn!

The whole family with the Judge after the papers were signed!

Not flesh of my flesh, Nor bone of my bone, 
But still miraculously my own. 
Never forget for a single minute, 
You didn't grow under my heart - but in it 
--- Fleur Conkling Heylinger

Family and Friends outside the court house!


Happy first Adoption Birthday Noah & Matthew!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8...Blogging Again!

   It has been a few years since I have blogged almost 3 1/2 years!  Wow I had not realized it had been that long!  What happened?  Oh yeah I added a few more blessings to the Conley Clan. September 1st 2009 was when we started looking at going from 5 times the love to 7 times the love.  I would pick 2 year old Noah and 3 month old Matthew up once during the week for the day and then we would also pick them up Sunday morning and keep them for the day.  It took a few months to jump through all the hoops and red tape, but once it was all done we knew they had found their forever family
Noah & Matthew came to live with us October 30th 2009. 

Then

Noah 2 and Matthew 5 months!



Now



Noah & Matthew were adopted November 2nd 2011

 

Asher was born May 3rd 2011 and came home with us Saturday May 7th as an early Mother's Day present!  Before we had a name chosen for him I felt the Lord tell me that this baby was a Blessing.  So for a short time his name was Baby Blessing.  So when it came time to make a decision on his name we wanted to have th word blessing in the meaning.
Asher: Means "happy" or "blessed" in Hebrew. Asher in the Old Testament is a son of Jacob and Leah's handmaid Zilpah, and the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.  He has been a blessing to and for our family from the very begining!

 Then

Holding Asher for the first time at the hospital!

Now



My walking big boy!



   I am now the Mom of 8!  I never thought I would be saying that!  LOL!  We are now even 4 girls & 4 boys.  We have 8 times the love!  The kids keep me real busy to say the least.  This will not be the last time I say this so I just wanted to state it here... Boys are from another planet!!!  :)  No, really I love my boys so much, but they are from another planet!  For 3 years I only had one boy and 4 girls.  Having the boys together and close in age has made me realize that they are unique little creatures.  :)

   I have been encouraged by a few people to start blogging again.  I began realizing how much I missed blogging when I looked back on my old post.  So here I begin again with an update on the Crazy Conley Clan. 

  Life is always a "little" Crazy in our household.  Homeschooling is still going strong with the Crazy Conley Clan.  So this year I have a Sophomore (Kimberly-15 1/2), 8th grader (Kaeleigh-14), 6th grader (Nathan-12), 5th grader (Kasey-10 1/2), 3rd grader (Destiny-8 1/2), Kindergartner (Noah-5), Preschooler (Matthew-3), & Toddler (Asher-17months).  Kimberly, Kaeleigh, Nathan, Kasey, Destiny, & Noah (the six oldest) are participating in Sequoia Christian Home Educators Chorale (SCHEC) choir.  Directed by the amazing Chelsea McCafferty and Rosie playing the piano.  They both have an amazing amount of patience and love for the kids.  The kids love having music as part of their schooling.  The 3 youngest boys are involved in a homeschool co-op where we get together once a week and we do science, arts/crafts, service projects, and exploration days!  We are have an awesome time!  I am loving have time with just them (No older kids allowed LOL!)!  The six oldest are also on the year round swim team!  It is great for the kids and they all love it.  It gets a little chilly in the winter months, they only complain a little (a lot sometimes) when they get out of the heated pool.

Right side of the table: Noah, Nathan, Kaeleigh, & Kasey



I am truly blessed to be Mom to these amazing 8!

3 years later...and It is well with my soul!

The other day I was driving with the kids in the car and we started going over some bumps in the road, I hear Destiny say Christel would like this road. It makes me smile, because even though she is not with us her memory is strong in our hearts. Most of Destiny's memories are from the stories the older kids, my Parents, and I tell about her.

Like the fact she loved bumpy roads and would get the giggles if it was real bumpy. The best part of us going camping for Christel was that she got to sit anywhere she wanted to in the parked car at the camp site. She loved anyone who could make themselves burp. She loved it when Kimberly & Kaeleigh would burp for her. She would start to giggle and then she would make herself burp. Here favorite fast food place was In-N-Out. She loved to eat (almost) anything. The two foods she did not like was oatmeal and spaghetti.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain

It is well, with my soul, It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Refrain

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Refrain

But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord! Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!

Refrain

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.

Refrain

"This hymn was writ­ten af­ter two ma­jor trau­mas in Spaf­ford’s life. The first was the great Chi­ca­go Fire of Oc­to­ber 1871, which ru­ined him fi­nan­cial­ly (he had been a weal­thy bus­i­ness­man). Short­ly af­ter, while cross­ing the At­lan­tic, all four of Spaf­ford’s daugh­ters died in a col­li­sion with an­o­ther ship. Spaf­ford’s wife Anna sur­vived and sent him the now fa­mous tel­e­gram, “Saved alone.” Sev­er­al weeks lat­er, as Spaf­ford’s own ship passed near the spot where his daugh­ters died, the Ho­ly Spir­it in­spired these words. They speak to the eter­nal hope that all be­liev­ers have, no mat­ter what pain and grief be­fall them on earth." http://nethymnal.org/htm/i/t/i/itiswell.htm

The last two years our family has marked this day in different ways. But the one thing that was the same is that we had dinner from Christel's favorite place. Tonight we decided to have spagetti for dinner. :O) Thank you family and friends who have walked with us through these last three years. I can truly say three years later we still miss Christel, yet I can stand and say It is well with my soul!

No Fear!

Tonight I watched my youngest show no fear. At the end of swimming tonight they let the kids jump off the diving boards. It is always fun to watch the kids do this. They get real excited when they get out the pool and quickly walk (not run) over to the diving boards. I have watched Destiny jump off the low dive last year. As I watched all the kids get in line I got excited for Destiny as I realized she was getting in line to jump off the high dive. I was wondering if she was going to get up to the top and decide wait this is way to high and want to go back down to safer ground. She climbed up the ladder and marched out to the end of the board and jumped off with no fear.
Made me think about areas in my life with the Lord. I should be able to focus on the Lord and with no fear "jump". My conversation might go something like this. I start to climb the ladder and I start thinking man this is kind of high... I wonder if God knows how high this is? As I reach the top I see how high up I really am and I tell God do you realize how high this is... how scary this is... I don't think you realize how hard this is for me to jump... or how scared I am?

2 Timothy 1:7 says:

God didn't give us a spirit that makes us weak and fearful. He
gave us a spirit that gives us power and love. It helps us control
ourselves.

Romans 8:15 also says:

You didn't receive a spirit that makes you a slave to fear once again. Instead
you received the Holy Spirit, who makes you God's child. By the Spirit's power
we call God "Abba." Abba means Father.

So the next time I am climbing up the ladder of the high dive in my life I want to be like my youngest and with confidence and not fear focus my eyes on my Daddy God and jump!

Congrats to my younger sister!

Saturday the 23rd my younger sister Christy got married. It was a beautiful wedding. May God bless you and your marriage. I wish you guys all the best Corey & Christy. I will post more photos later but here are a few.

The Beginning of Swim Season!

Ti's the Season to be Swimming...


Next week we have our first swim meet of the season. Thursday we had Time Trials with just our team the Waves. All the kids are swimming this year. :O) Kimberly moved up to the 11 & 12 (12 & under), Kaeleigh moved to the 9 & 10 (10 & under), Nathan moved to the 7 & 8 (8 & under), & Kasey & Destiny just joined the team this year and they are in the 6 & under.

http://www.visaliawaves.com/

It is very fun to have all the kids swimming on the team this year. I am looking forward to a lot of fun times these next to 2 months. It is usually pretty hot by now but we have had some really strange weather these last couple of months. I am not complaining... I LOVE the cooler weather, it makes me feel like I am at the coast. All the kids are doing well with swimming and they have gotten off to a good start for this season. I am proud at how far each one of them have come.

Plains, Trains, & Automobiles...

Waiting for Grama's Train!

Plains, Trains, & Automobiles (& buses)! The kids and I drove (AUTOMOBILE) Mom to catch her TRAIN which will take her to a BUS, then she will get on her PLANE headed to Europe. We will miss her, :O( but I know she will have an awesome time. :O)

I hope you have a blast Mom. We love you!

One of my favorite Movies!

Yummy Stuff delivered right to my door...

Our Basket

I am very excited today, because I got Yummy Stuff delivered right to my door. I can hardly wait to see all that is in the basket. You ask why I am I so special? Okay Okay maybe you don't ask that, but I bet your wondering where did this bountiful basket came from? It did not fall from the sky nor did it come from the Farm Fairy! It came from Family Farm Fresh.

Check out their site. It gives all the information about them and how to contact them.

http://www.familyfarmfresh.com/index.html

We ordered the large family basket for our family of 8. Here is what we got in this weeks basket:

10 Navel Oranges

2 Scallions

2 Red Onions

2lbs Cucumbers

2 Bundles of Radishes

3lbs Squash

3 (1/2 pints) of Cherries

1.5 lbs Apricots

2 (1/2 pints) of Blueberries

2 Large heads of lettuce

2lbs of Tomatoes

It is very cool. This is going to help out so much. Sometimes thinking about going to the store with 5 kids in tow just makes me tired and want to go lay down and take a nap. :o) I would love to go to the farmers market more, but just don't seem to have the time to get there very often. So I am loving the idea of getting fresh fruits and veggies every week at my doorstep. It will be fun to see each week what will be in the basket. Kind of like a present every week. So maybe it is kind of like a Farm Fairy. You leave your empty basket outside and every week you get a new one filled with lots of yummy stuff. Maybe I will call them my Farm Fresh Fairies!

Oh am already excited to see what we get in next weeks basket. Very Very exciting!

The Reports are in...

The Reports are in... Report Cards that is!

What a blast we had this school year! I am so proud of all the kids and how far they came this year. We gave out Report Cards on Friday to them. They were really excited. It was fun to watch them show their Grama & Papa how they did in school. They were very proud of themselves. It was really good for me as the teacher/parent to stay up late (2:30 am) Thursday night to get them all done. It really helped me to think back to the beginning of the year and see how much they have changed and improved. It also helped to go oh yeah they are only ______ (fill in the blank)Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, or 5th grade they are doing really well. Sometimes I forget how old they are. I do not feel what I expect out of them is to much for them, but it was good that we did the report cards because it made me really look at how well they really are doing.

So I am a proud Mom/Teacher right now saying I am proud of my kids they had an amazing year. I am really looking forward to next year. Way to go you guys! So now I have a Kindergartner, 1st grader, 2nd grader, 4th grader, and a 6th grader. They are all growing and changing so fast. I am glad this year done, but I am also getting excited about next year. :O)

Beginnings, Endings, & HIS Amazing Love...

Isaiah is 1

Yesterday my friend Lori celebrated her youngest turning 1! Today she is celebrating her Dad going home to be with Jesus 2 years ago.

Service for George Campbell 2 yrs ago

God is so amazing! He works everything out in His time. It is very cool to me that their youngest entered this world just one day shy of the year mark of George going home to be with Jesus.

I thank you God that you care about the tineset details in our lives. How amazing is your love for us. That you would ochrestrate for these two lives. One to begin their time on earth and one to end their time on earth.

The amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you. 2 Corinthians 13:14 (The Message)

My prayers go out to Lori and your family as you guys celebrated the beginning of one life yesterday and now you are celebrating the ending of another (here on earth). We love you guys and are praying for you. Sending lots and prayers and love your way.

Two years later...

Two years ago today Christel went HOME to be with Jesus. It seems like a lifetime has passed and yet it seems like just yesterday I was harassing my little sister (with love of course). :O)

Today some friends are coming over to help us make some rice crispy treats (one of Christel's favorite desserts) so we can have them tonight and laugh and maybe cry a little as we tell funny stories and remember Christel.

Christel eating a Big rice crispy treat at Disneyland April 2006

We miss you Christel! Time does ease our pain as we wait for the day we are joined all together again in heaven with you. My prayers today go out to those people who have recently lost someone they loved or cared about. I pray that you will let the Heavenly Father wrap you with His loving arms and hold you as you learn to give all your pain and tears to Him. He knows your pain, He understands the hurt allow Him to give you comfort you. It is okay to cry, it is okay to laugh as you learn to continue on. I specifically want to lift up the Chapman family and pray that they are feeling God wrapping them in His big arms of love.

I post today saying that I miss Christel very much. Today we will remember her as we eat one of her favorite desserts. Next year maybe we will have spaghetti (she did not like spaghetti) and tell all the stories about how she did not like to eat spaghetti. I am thankful I was loved by Christel (even if she did not think her big sister she be in charge of her sometimes) LOL.
I am so thankful that my Hope is in the Lord.

Friends

Tonight as I type this there are 3 giggly girls in the next room who are suppose to be going to sleep. They have been having fun just being silly and playing dress up tonight. I am not sure what time they will eventually fall asleep, but it reminds me of sleepovers I use to have with my friends. They are so fun to watch and listen to. I am thankful for friends tonight. To staying up late, to laughing at things that are only funny to us, and to just hanging out and do nothing.
