It's Been a While!

Well it's been since Easter since I've blogged. I've been so busy, the grandparents have visited, we've been through Mother's Day, we went to the All-star Race in Charlotte NC, I planned my first Field Day, Wes's eyes have been swollen shut from mosquito bites, the end of school came, we went to Bush Gardens, I got my wisdom teeth pulled(all 4), and Deon had his 2nd Father's Day. What a very busy time it has been. We've had a great time doing it all, even the bug bites.

Deon and I are now leading our college-age group for the summer, we've had such a great turn-out and it makes me excited to know that with God we can help strengthen these young peoples relationship with Christ. Through our whole business God had been so faithful. He's kept us safe, he's given us the time to be together, he's given us peace, and he's helped us show love.

Wes is doing so well. He is now potty trained (for about a month). He does really well with telling us and he loves peeing outside. He can count to 10 and he can sing his whole ABC's. Everyday he just amazes me. I feel like I say that all that time. I love watching him grow and learn every day. He is a social butterfly. Today we went to a restaurant for lunch and Wes got up and went to another table to talk to there little boy who was the same age as him. He isn't one bit shy and will talk to anyone. He loves to watch TV with daddy and he's even getting to the point where he'll tell Deon he doesn't want to watch something. He got to help me make brownies for Daddy this weekend and he love it, his favorite part was licking the spoon. His favorite place to be is outside. He would stay there all the time if it were up to him. He loves the beach, he asks to go everyday. So we got him a baby pool. His second birthday is just weeks away and I can't believe it. I love being his Mommy and I can't wait to see what God has for Wes. I pray daily that God speaks to Wes in his sleep and shows him what He has for him. I pray that Wes learns to hear Gods voice and that he will obey.

Life has been great in the Brewley house. Not to say that everything is hunky dory all the time but it's great because God has given me a great family to spend it with.

Here are some pictures of the last few months.

3 Year Anniversary

Well today is our 3 year anniversary. I still awake and look at Deon and feel so lucky to be his wife. I pray that those feelings not only stay but that they grow stronger as they have through the past 3 years. I tell him daily that I love him and each that rings true. I love him more today than I did yesterday. I use to get so upset at people when you would tell them you were getting married and they'd make some sarcastic remark, like good luck or it doesn't get any better, or I remember when I got all gitty about my husband. I pray daily that they gittyness will never ever go away. I want to be married 80 years and still feel gitty when I see him. More than that I know it can be that way because my God is faithful. The same way that Christ loved the church we are instructed to love our spouse. I don't think God's love is any less now than when I was born. I love being married and I love my husband to death. These past three years have been some of the best days of my life. I have got to spend everyday with my best friend and I have been blessed with being able to carry and bare his child. I am so thankful that my husband loves me through everything, he adores me, and I am his princess. I love being a mom but most of all I love being Deon wife, he makes me so proud. I give God all the praise and all the glory for giving me my soul mate and the person I get to spend the rest of my life with.

Easter and Moved all in the Same Weekend!

Well, I finally have a little time to myself to think and type. The sad thing is, it's only because Wes is home sick with pink eye. We've now lived in our new house for a week and a half, we move in April 10th and Easter was April 12th. This made for a very busy weekend but it all went well. Half way through the move on Friday Deon got call into work. I couldn't be mad because there was nothing we could do about it. The great thing was that all the big stuff was loaded in the U-Haul. So while he did his work, I continued to pack boxes and load them on the truck. I got as much as I could loaded on the truck and had it ready to go. When he got home around 8:30 we headed over to our new house and started unloading. First task, put up Wesley's bed. My poor little man fell asleep in the U-Haul on the way over, but it really made the move in easier. My parents arrive here about 15 minutes after we did and we got all things off the truck and in the house pretty darn fast. Moving in is so much easier than moving out, to me. There were a few glitches but we handled it all. I just thank God for the smooth transition and his perfect timing.

We had a great Easter, Wes totally understood the concept of finding eggs. He loved going around and putting them into his basket and then he sat down to see what was in each one of them. He's starting to turn into a 2 year old already. He's trying us and wanting to see how much he can do before he get in trouble and the world NO is getting on my nerves. It doesn't matter what you ask him his answer will probably be NO, or even, no no no. But I guess this is where I have to stand my ground and parent with LOVE, and spankings. HA HA HA. But I do love him so! The sweetest thing is to hear your child sing. Wes can now sing ''Hap Birday to You!'' It's so cute and reminds me of how much I love him even when he's saying NO.

Last but definitely not least I want to give thanks and praise to my Heavenly Father for his Son that he sent for us. Though we have the egg hunts and all the fun, I want to praise God for giving his Son Jesus. This is more real when you have your own child, to think that He knew He'd have to give up his only Son for us and He did it willfully is so AWESOME!

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

March"ed" Right on By!

Well this month has come to an end. What great month it has been. Wes is going on 21 months and has continued talking so much, his personality grows daily and he loves to be in the lime light. I just love being around him and in all honesty I don't want it to go by too fast. God has shown his faithfulness this month in so many ways. We are still in the process of purchasing our first house. We were suppose to close on the 27, then it got move to the 31, and now we are just waiting for somethings to get worked out with the title so that we will not have to deal with this again. But in all this God has shown his faithfulness, if we were to have closed in March we would have had overlapping payment on our new house and our current rent, I just prayed for God to make a way for us to be able to afford this. Now that we will be closing in April, we can push our payment back a month. PRAISE GOD! I can't wait to get in our new house because lately Wes has been wanting to go outside and play but we don't have much yard to play in. He loves "sooting" in his basketball goal and he love doing it "atside". He talks so much, he makes me so proud.


My birthday just past and what a great day that was. Wes knows how to sing "birtday to you" . It was hilarious. I felt so privileged being at an elementary school, the kids were awesome and made me feel so special on my birthday. MeMe had some balloons set up for me in my room and my South Beach friend brought me a ton of South Beach and sugar free treats, (thanks Courtney). When I got home Deon had my favorite cake in the world (Sam's Club) and he sang Happy Birthday to me with the candles burning. He also had some flowers waiting for me with a card. SOOOOO SWEET! He then took me out to eat at PF Changs (MMM MMM MMM). What a great 29th birthday!











I had a God moment I guess you would say the other day. Wes was "sooting" in the back yard area and his ball went into the woods. He kind of look at it and then look at his daddy and said "help daddy help". Deon only walked to the woods and showed Wes which direction to go and Wes went right in, knowing his daddy was watching him and guiding him. It just made me realize how God works, all we have to do is let him know we need his help and he will be right there to guide us and in his presents we will feel safe and know that we can do it because he will not let us stray. What an awesome privilege to have a "Daddy" that will always be there for us.


Well, we'll keep you updated on the house situation, I'm still praying that things will get fixed this week so that we can move this weekend.

Picking Up, Packing, and Updating

Well we're getting packed and getting ready. We were suppose to close on our house today but there was a little hang up in the title so we have pushed it back to March 31, one day after I turn 29, Happy Birthday to me. Other than that things around the Brewley house are pretty normal, work, eat, sleep and oh yeah play, I think Wes could play, play, play if it were up to him. He's talking so much, he will try to say everything you ask him and most of the time he does pretty good, in my opinion. He can now sing the beginning of the Barney song, "I love you, you love me..." He sound so cute and I love him so very much. God has definitely blessed Deon and I in our marriage and all other things happening around us and I give Him all the glory. He has been so faithful to us.

Pappy has 'Broken"

Well, it's been a whole week and Wes has gone without the "pappy". But he's done so great! I really think it was harder for me than it was for him. He had a few withdraw moments, mostly in the car or when he was tired but he's been attached to the thing for 18 months so a few times isn't that bad. The hard part for me was when he saw it, the "broken" passy. He looked a me and said "oooh pappy broke" and his face looked so sad, then I also had to come to terms with him being a toddler and not my teeny little baby. But we're both OK now and we will move on to our next task, potty training, in a few months.

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break wasn't much of a break for us. First, it took us 6 hours to get home and it is normally a 4 hour drive. Next, about 30 minutes after we got to his Grand-
mothers, Wes was playing with his cousin and they fell down about 5 steps. I picked Wes up and comforted him but he wasn't being consoled so it really concerned me. Then I tried to get him to walk and he wouldn't do that so we rushed to the emergency room that night. Praise God it was on a "contusion" and there was no break but for about 4 day he wouldn't put any pressure on his ankle so he had to crawl around. That was weird for me because I hadn't seen him crawl since he was 9 months old. Thanksgiving day was great we spent half the day with Deon's family and the other half with my family. Friday was our day to spend at Grandma's and Grandpa's house and Saturday we hung out with NaNa and Papa. Very busy going between houses but it was good to see everyone. It was a good Thanksgiving, just not much of a break for us. We got back Sunday about 8 pm and went to work the next day. BTW that Sunday in church Deon prayed specifically for healing of Wes's leg, Wes came out of the nursery and walked to his daddy, now he limped, but my son walked, thanks to the AWESOME healing of our Heavenly Father.

Check out this Worship Song

Hey guys, sitting at home with strep feeling kind of sad. But I checked my e-mail and this worship song was sent to my by a friend. It lifted my spirits and I wanted to share it will everyone.

Strep Throat and It Sucks :(

Well, I have strep and it's worse than my labor. I went home from work on Tuesday with a fever of 101.3, went the the doctor this morning and yep, I have strep. I got a shot of anti-antibiotic in my butt. The Dr. said it would start feeling better in a couple of hours but I haven't seem to get any better yet, so we called the nurse and she said I had to give it 24 hours. But anywho, it hurts, really bad, really really bad but we have prayed about and know it will be getting better soon.

Wesley is 16 Months

Well what a month this has been and wow, where did it go. The first thing we did this month was carve our pumpkin Wes really enjoy this, I let him dig in the pumpkin and play in all the seeds. This month Wes has gotten another molar, he's talking a lot, he learned how to hop and gallop and he' also started to tell us when he needs to go poopy or if he's already done it. He is peeing sometimes in the potty but not on his own. This is nothing I'm rushing but if he's ready I'll definitely be glad about not changing diapers. Deon and I also went on our vacation this month while Wes got to stay with both sets of his grandparents for a whole week. One other piece of history that happened was the first black president was voted into office, Barack Obama, Wes has no clue but he was part of a momentous time in the US. Other than that we just played and had fun like always. Enjoy the pictures! I'm a little biased but I do think he is the cutest kid in the world.
