Bud’s Best Cookies Really Are the Best

Bud’s Best Cookies Field Trip             Jan. 13, 2015
So this was the best ever, the hairnets were itchy, but still. What a fantastic company. We rode a train through the factory and every worker waived at the kids. Every. Worker. The cookies were awesome! Yaya ate her entire cup of cookies. The girls just had a great time. This was a fun and tasty trip! Thanks RUMC and Bud!

Star Performers Debut

On February 11, 2015, Eden and Hope took the stage in their debut appearance at the Riverchase UMC 4K Valentines Day program. For weeks the girls had been practicing their songs around the house and they were beside themselves when the day finally arrive. Shockingly, Hope was a total ham on the stage, waving, giggling, dancing, and talking to her friends while on stage. Eden on the other hand performed perfectly. Destined for stardom, Eden was perfectly poised and precious. Enough talking…more watching. Enjoy the video!

 

I Need Bigger Hair

So I am "spring cleaning" and such...look what I unearthed...that's right...Glamour Shots...could my hair be any bigger...I think I'm all of 16 here...the 80's were fun.

Bow To Me

Yeah so, this is the statement I heard yesterday that caused me to grab my camera and investigate. That’s right, “Bow to me.” Of course it was said by my meek, sweet, lovely Eden Marie. Quietly playing at the Lego table she voiced those words. When I approached her and the table here is what I saw. Those are all the “Friends” Lego girls and Merida from Brave, bowing to the Queen Lego girl, who by the way has a birthday Lego shirt on for some reason. I especially love that the two girls on the second level of the castle are also bowing. Bring it, Eden. Bring it!

A Friendly Reminder

Lord, do not let us forget the hardness and the humor of this day. When we were being selfish and wallowing in self-pity, when we were unkind to others and moreover to ourselves, You stepped in to correct us, love us, and make us laugh. Father, thank you for the book, “Jesus Calling” for kids. Thank you for introducing us to:

1 Corinthians 10:10

While it provided much laughter, it also came with a heavy truth. Sadly, a truth we all need to be reminded of as of late. Do everything as unto the Lord.

100th Day of School Celebration

February 6, 2015: The girls were so excited about this day and they were not disappointed. Because both their teachers are A-Mazing it was a wonderful day filled with fun activities and yummy treats. They came home with papers, necklaces with 100 beads, pre-printed 100th day of school bracelets and my favorite...Hats! Congrats ladies!

Connor’s 11th Birthday Celebration

It is hard to believe how quickly our boys are growing up. Last evening we celebrated Connor’s 11th birthday. Are you kidding me!? Involving Minecraft, PlayStation, Wii, and Nerf Guns is was sure to be an awesome party. So it was. Now for the loot, the kid racked up $190.00 in cash to put to a new PlayStation he has been saving up for. He also got mega blocks and Nerf bullets. The kids had a great time playing well into the night. Although it was a sleepover, Eric and Noah arrived home at 3:30 a.m. to be in their own beds. I know Connor had a great day and we were glad to share it with him.
