Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Mom! Thank you so much for being the Godly woman and mother that you are... For you and Dad raising your kids to know and love the LORD. I Love you Mom!

This Mother's Day was very special to me in so many ways.. Every year the kids climb in bed to snuggle and to wish me a happy mother's day...they are sooo sweet!..This is always my favorite part of the day, and a wonderful way to start the day. After church and great fellowship with friends we had a wonderful lunch with Jeff's parents at The Jalapen'o Tree.

After getting home we slipped into comfy clothes, enjoyed a Sunday afternoon nap and hung out in the back yard enjoying the cool Sunday breeze.

A few weeks ago I asked my hubby if he would build me a small table to go with our new swing.

He built and gave it to me today for Mother's Day. Thank you honey, I know right now your really busy with work, you did this special just for me. I love you, and you did a wonderful job!

Tonight just before Grace went to bed, she walked up to me and gave me a big ((hug)) and said... "Happy Mother's Day." Wow! What a wonderful surprise, and a great way to end the day. Jeff asked her if she would say it again so that he could record it. I have tried to upload it (voice message) several times and blogger won't let it upload:(

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!!

"Before I formed you in your mother's womb I chose you. Before you were born I set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5

Track Day

We spent our morning at the football field, for Jared's Track and Field Day.

Every year the school puts together a "track day" filled with sporting events...

...and the kiddos really have a lot of fun!

Plus... they get to leave school early too!! Yay! :)

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. Job 8:21

Strawberry Anyone?

Why sure...

don't mind if I do...

take a few.

Grace and I had a great time at the strawberry orchard today. We enjoyed picking and eating a few too. ;) These strawberries are so delicious!!

We had two baskets to fill, one for us and one for Nana & Papaw. Grace was a big help to me, she carried her basket and was very careful not to drop or spill the berries. Thanks Stephanie for telling us about Mc Peak Orchards.

The land produced vegetation-plants yielding seeds according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seeds in it according to their kinds, God saw that this was good. Genesis 1:12

An Early Mother's Day Gift

We had a wonderful time at Nana and Papaw's house yesterday. I gave mom her mother's day gift, and we got several new trees (3 Oak and 1 Mulberry) to plant in our yard today. I love trees, and I'm so thankful that they were free. Thank you so much Mom & Dad!

Yesterday, I also got to see Caden ride the motorcycle for the first time. Over the past two years we have all worked with him, trying to get him to ride without falling off. Well, this past spring break the boys had a work day helping Papaw out around the land. After all the work was done of course ;) he asked if he could give the motorcycle another try. Well this time, he got on and took off!!! He was so excited to tell his daddy and I all about it when he got home.

One very excited little man.

Way to go Caden, you did it! Now just be careful!!!

He is like a tree planted by flowing streams; it yields its fruit at the proper time, and its leaves never fall off. He succeeds in everything he attempts. Psalm 1:3

Random Thoughts

This week has been a busy one to say the least ;) Getting ready for two garage sales... one practice... three baseball games and a family Birthday Party. Makes me tired just typing this:) Rockies won Fridays game 7-8 yay! They played some very good games this week even going into extra innings! I started feeling not so well at the garage sale and by 8 o'clock I had a headache so bad I thought about going to the hospital. (Yes, this brought back very bad memories for us) After Jeff and I praying and I taking pain meds I was in bed by 9:00. I felt so much better this morning after a good night sleep. Thank you Jesus for answering our prayers.

Some random pictures of Jared and Grace today.

Her daddy came home from the movies the other night with these 3-D glasses. She just loves these "movie star" glasses.

Daddy got a great picture of me cutting Jared's hair tonight in our "Bathroom Barber Shop"

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. Psalm 28:7
