| This just makes me laugh! John the muscle man! So Rita, JT, Lily and John were in town for a concert. We met them for lunch and a fun afternoon at the pool. The kids had so much fun playing together. I am so glad we are close enough to see each other more often. You can imagine the planning and coordination the kids orchestrated in the above pictures. What a great Mother's Day! |
 |
| Of course we celebrated with a cake! I love Publix cake! |
 |
| After church we headed to the tall grass in our neighborhood for some pictures! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with an amazing husband and these two little girls. He truly knew my heart's desire when he made our family. As crazy as it is at times, I wouldn't change a thing.....I am thankful for a Loving God that helps me live a prioritized life. I'm also thankful for my mom, who is a living example of God's love for his children, and for Scott's mom as we grow in our journey of motherhood, we share a common bond...a love for our children. I am so thankful for the son she has raised! I am very blessed! |

| This was a great way to start our Sunday. I was SHOWERED with homemade gifts and cards. Each of them made a book about "Why I am so special" . The funniest part was in Ansley's it said, "My mom weighs......" Her original answer was erased but was 299!!! Then her second guess was 130! I laughed so hard! She said, "Mrs. Ballard said that ladies are kind of weird about their weight, why don't you choose a smaller number." I LOVE that girl! Mimi made me a potter heart and a book. I am so very BLESSED and THANKFUL! |

| On Friday night we headed to the ball field. It was our first Nashville Sounds Game. The girls earned tickets because they exceeded their AR goal. It was a fun family evening. I am so very proud of the little students we have. They truly love to learn! I'm so thankful for their teachers that continue to inspire their little brains! Here are pictures of the parade before the game! I think they expected more of a Minonk 4th of July parade....oh well! |
 |
| The girls had so much fun looking through Scott's elementary yearbooks! |
 |
| Then they gave him a foot massage! They are so funny....he didn't complain! |
 |
| Ansley brought me a flower with a hand painted pot from school. I am so glad God chose me to be her mommy! |
 |
| The girls think Cubby is a baby. I often find them carrying him around or him snuggled right in. I am sure glad we have this little guy! |
 |
| It has been a rainy weekend. Yesterday soccer was cancelled for the second weekend in a row, so we tackled chores as a family. As much as I don't like cleaning, I love that the girls enjoy helping and realize that our house doesn't "clean itself". |
 |
| It cleared up enough for S. to mow the lawn. I love that Mia likes to mow too! Daddy's little girl. |
 |
| Mia found a new pet! See her ladybug? |
