Perfect Day

This Saturday my parents watched the kids while Rodney and I spent the day together. We had do much fun! We went to lunch and went shopping. We got to drive around for awhile. I love Rodney and it was so great to spend time just the two of us. My love tank is full! We picked up the boys and spent a quiet night at home. I am overwhelmed by this family I am blessed with and my heart aches to have Peter here with us. The obstacles keep popping up but we know God is in control and he will bring our son home in His timing. I can't wait!

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a sweet Valentine's Day! The boys woke to new Angry Bird Pjs and candy. We had KDO so that meant parties for everyone! We got donuts for Sawyer's class and for the home school class that CW has gotten to hang out with this week at KDO. It was so fun to see all the little KDO cuties dressed up for Valentine's Day. The boys had a blast at school and came home to their sweet daddy who took off early to bring them gifts. Rodney surprised me with a new charm for my pandora bracelet. It is a sparkly heart to represent him on the bracelet. It is beautiful! We had fun family time all evening. And as a special treat my buddy Sarah and I went to see Safe Haven at the movies! It was a perfect day. I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many that love me and so many that I have the privilege of getting to love! It is a blessed life!

Surprise Party

Last night we went to a friend's birthday party. The boys were so excited because it was a surprise party. Myka and her husband are in our small group at church and they are precious! The boys kept everyone entertained as always. They were so sweet. We got to stay out late since Carter Wayne is out if school all week. We really had fun! Happy Birthday Myka!

I Mustache you a Question...

Will you be my Valentine???

Just me and the Ashley's!

I had such a fun weekend! Saturday I met Ashley P. and Ashley H. at a spa. They got facials and I got a pedicure and a manicure. So relaxing!!! We went downtown to eat at the Press Room where I had the BEST salad of my life. Seriously! We then checked out the little shops downtown and headed out to some antique shops. We went to the mall - to shop some more. We saw the movie "Identity Thief" and it was hilarious!! We spent the night at Ashley P.'s parents' house- it felt like high school all over again! We watched movies and talked and got to sleep in the next morning! Jealous,yet? Our weekend ended with a late breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. I love these two girls so much and time with them always involves fun, laughter, tears and joy! God blessed me with these girls a long time ago and I continue to be thankful for their role in my life!

My Favorite Super Hero- Rodney!

This past weekend I got to have a mini girls' weekend! Rodney picked up the boys from my parents' house on Saturday. The went to lunch and then to Toys R Us! They watched a movie that night and then all three slept in our bed. On Sunday Rodney got the boys ready and all three went to not one, but two services at church! How great is this guy??? They got lunch from McAlister's, which happens to be the boys' favorite place. When I got home they were all relaxing in the den together. Just precious! Rodney is so sweet to let me have time to myself and not make me feel guilty or bad for doing so. I know that is not the case for every woman. I am also thankful for a husband that enjoys time with his kids and actually looks forward to their time together. Once again, that isn't always the case for everyone. I am so thankful for Rodney and I love him so much! :-)

Special Friday

Carter Wayne had a big day last Friday! My parents brought him lunch to school and then took him to the book fair. He picked out books for he and Sawyer. My dad came over to watch Sawyer that afternoon so I could help with the Kindergarten Valentine party. I helped run the valentine bingo station. Carter Wayne loved having me there - so glad I could go. He was very excited to get home and look at all his valentine cards. His favorites were from Ms. Craig, David, and of course- Ashlynd. He said after he gave Ashlynd her valentine she walked over to his table to say thank you. CW: "You know what I said to her, momma?!?" Me: "What?" (His cheeks then turned red and very seriously he began to speak: "I said thank you. " and he then smiled proudly at me. What a sweetie he is but I am not ready for all this! :-) the Friday ended with he and Sawyer spending the night with my parents. Fun times! :-)
