Our week in pictures

Logan is 4!

It is so hard to believe...


How can he be so big now?

Why does age 4 sounds so much older than age 3?

We love you so much Logan, you are wonderful.

Pictures and details of our day to come soon...

______________

Me: "Happy Birthday Logan!"

Logan: "Happy Mother's Day Mom!"

Hugs! :)

Who's that baby?

Anyone know who these girlies are????



Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! I LOVE the momma's of these babies!!!!

I didn't get to see my momma for Mother's Day but she is coming this weekend, YAY! Happy Mother's Mom, you are truly an angel and I'm so glad God chose you to be my momma. :)

Hugs!

It's time.... probably past time...

One thing I have learned about being a momma is, that once the house is picked up, it will NOT stay that way.

Library books and baby dolls will wind up on the ottoman...

Cars, a baseball glove, zhu zhu pet and sunglasses will end up on the half-wall...

Airplanes, coloring books and crayons, and baskets with puppies will end up on the kitchen table.

BUT they don't have to stay there!

I will be the first to admit that I often lack in the patience department. And at some point in the week I will lose my cool concerning the clutter in the house, the toys that migrate out of bedrooms, the laundry and the dishes. I'm really trying to work on this.

-

Really.

-

I am.

Sooo the other day when I was out and I saw these cutie buckets I had a BRILLIANT idea!

The kids are now grabbing their buckets before bedtime and running through the house gathering everything that is theirs, loading it into the bucket and returning it to their rooms.

This may seem small, but this is big for us. It's time the kids start helping out more, probably past time. I feel good about teaching them to help care for our home. It helps that they think of it as a game.

-

Everyone is happy! -

-

Especially momma. :)

Just on my mind...

LOVE playing outside!!!! Love breezy days! Love spring storms! Love SPRING!!!
-

Having a birthday on Facebook makes me feel so special! :) Thanks for all of the birthday wishes!
-

Logan, just because I draw a not-to-cross line on the cul-de-sac, doesn't mean you should hang out RIGHT next to the line, while looking back at me to see if I notice. I notice and I am annoyed. :)
-

Whole Foods grocery store is one of my favorite places on earth.
-

I had such a blessed year teaching a MOPPETT class at MOPS this year. LOVED the kids and made lots of new friends!
-

Reading a great book: "The Seven Pillars of Health" by Don Colbert. A must read!
-

Recent conversation with Olivia that left me awed and a bit confused.

Olivia: "When I get to heaven I don't think I will see God"

Me: "Why?"

Olivia: "Because Jesus will be there and Jesus is God, how can I see 2 people at 1 time?"
-

I LOVE sharing my birthday with Brad and Jill, makes it an even BIGGER day for me! Love you both!
-

Logan ran into our room at 6:30 am to read a new library book about Jets with Tommy and Tommy woke right up, turned on the light, and read the book with him. I LOVE that man!

Yesterday I broke the outside spicket and now water shoots out the top of the spicket instead of the front. ugh. anyone know a good plumber?
