I know I'll be getting requests for autographs over this......

Check out my famous family here !

Happy Mother's Day

Well, Mother's Day is finally here.  All of the projects at school and secrets the kids have been keeping from me were revealed today !  I am one lucky Mommy to have my two healthy, loving children in my life.  I am thankful that God chose me to have such an awesome responsibility to raise these babies.  There are good times and bad times that go with being a mother, but the tough times are SO worth it when I see their precious faces giggle, smile, and hug me.  Thank you Anniston and Treyson.  I am the luckiest Mommy in the world !

 My mom, MaMa, is such an amazing mom.  She and I truly are best friends.  I can call and talk to her about anything.  She is best about taking several looks at situations before reacting.  She can help me figure out basically any problem I have.  She is quick to help with the kids when I need her, and the way she loves my babies makes me love her even more.  I love you Mom.  Thank you for everything you do !

 Jerry's mom, Nanny, is one of a kind.  She is such a kid at heart.  We spend so much time laughing when we're with "Jules"--never a dull moment.  Julie has taught me to live  in the moment and to enjoy your family.  She has always dropped anything that was planned for the sake of her kids and grandkids.   She knows how quickly life can be taken from you, and to not miss a moment.  She loves Anniston and Treyson like crazy and always calls them, "Nanny's angels" (whether they should be called an "angel" that day or not--ha!).  Thank you Nanny for being such an amazing woman.  I love you!

I'm sure she'll love that I put this picture of her on here......but this is Nanny to a "T".  While at Disney, Cinderella had moved on, and she just couldn't stand that SHE didn't get her picture taken with her (only Anniston and Treyson did).......so she chased down Cinderella for another pic !  Only Nanny :)

To all mother's today---Happy Mother's Day !

How Dadoo listens to baseball games.....

Dadoo loves listening to Razorback baseball games.  Whenever a game is being played during naptime, it means Dadoo gets to lay out.  I think he must close his eyes and pretend that he is actually laying out on a lounge chair by his parent's pool. . . . but up here, the trampoline will have to do! (especially since it's off limits for the time being--notice the hole in the net; yeah, the new net is on backorder--nice!)

Teacher Appreciation Week!

Teachers are such a wonderful blessing.  Their patience is beyond my comprehension.  We are so blessed that our children have FANTASTIC teachers this year!

Here is what Anniston made for Ms. Rhonda.  Her class also went in and got a big group gift for her...

 I'm the homeroom mom for T's class.  At his school, parents brought different snacks for the teacher's lounge each day.  In addition to that, these are the gifts his class did for the teachers (thank you pinterest!!)

Flowers for Mommy!

This afternoon the kids were outside and decided to pick some of Mommy's lilies for her for Mother's day ! HA !  So I decided to get the clippers and plump up the arrangement--hey, why not ?!?!

Picnic Perfect Day!

The weather here today is absolutely beautiful!  It is slightly cloudy, with a nice breeze.  That equals the perfect day to hit the park with the kids.  We timed it nicely so that Dadoo could meet us here for a picnic lunch as well !

 Anniston went crazy over the baby ducks !

 She was honking (the way her Uncle Matt does) to get the geese' attention

 Treyson watching the geese fly

 Treyson was running away from the paparazzi (aka: Mommy)

 Dadoo finally made it !  The kids took off running for him !

 YUM! Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cheetos, cookies, and apple juice -- can't beat it !

 Look who joined Treyson for lunch !

 We took the leftover bread and went to feed the ducks before we left

 What a great day !  We are looking forward to so many more picnics this summer :)

Caleb and Calvin's Dedication

Our twin nephews, Caleb Walter and Calvin James, were dedicated to the Lord last Sunday, April 29.  It was an awesome service, and a very exciting moment for all of us who love these boys so much.  The boys were PERFECT during the entire service.  

 Scott and Courtney created these documents with things they want to make sure to help instill in these boys.  Everything they want is supported by scripture.  It was such a fantastic idea, and I know that God will lead Scott and Courtney to raise them according to His will.

These boys are so lucky to have such amazing parents as Scott and Courtney.  God has been shaping them to raise these boys in His name. . . .I have no doubt these boys will grow up to be very godly men!
