Mother's Day

I saw on my niece Crissy's blog today where she had posted a picture for a online contest about motherhood. I have already been thinking about Mother's Day, working on a gift for mom. (mother's day is next weekend for my children who are reading this!) But anyway, when I saw that I immediately thought about this picture. It is and I guess will always be my favorite picture of my boys! This was taken the day Jared was born. Josh and Jordan really wanted to check him all out. I think Woody just took this picture of them looking at him and we really didn't think anything about it until we looked at it on the computer for the first time. Can't you just see how much they love him? I knew from this picture that we were giving them a great gift-another sibling to go through live with, no matter what it maybring. And I knew that he had the best gift-brothers who would always want the best for him and protect him from everything they could. My prayer is that even though they may fight sometimes that they always cherish each other the way they did that day!

Yellow Box Flip Flops

I am slightly obsessed with Yellow Box Flip Flops!

I got a pair a couple of years ago but last year could not find my size any where. Friday Josh and I went shopping because it is tax-free weekend in TN. I found 3 pair in my size at Belk so I had to have them all. They are soooo comfortable. I will probably live in them this summer. If you haven't tried yellow box you don't know what you are missing!! Who knew flip flops could make a girl so happy?!

Need Extreme Blog Makeover

Extreme home makeover is one of my favorite shows on TV. No one else in my house likes to watch it with me. ( I think they are afraid they will cry)!! Well, just like those people on the show I am desperate for a makeover also, only in my case it is for this blog! As you know I am new at this and really feel like I don't know what I am doing!! I have so many friends who blog and have looked at lots of blogs of people I will never know. I want a great blog too! My friend Cindy just had a blog makeover by fabulous K designs. It looks great! She truly is a fairy blog mother!

I am entering my blog to win a makeover by her. I hope she can hear the desperation in my typing. If not I'm sure one look at my blog and she will feel sorry for me! Check her out at fabulous K blog designs.

Josh's hiking trip

Josh is going to Yosemite National Park May 20th to hike the Half Dome. It is the tallest peak in the picture. That's enough to freak a mama out!!

Jared - Cubs 2008

New at Blogging

Ok-so here I go! I have been thinking about blogging for a while now so I finally decided to just dive in! We have so many things going on in our lives that I want to share with everyone. All I can say is that I will try to do a good job of keeping everything current. We are coming to the end of the school year for everyone. Josh will finish his second semester in college this week. (Boy does that sound weird!) He is leading worship for middle school to college students at another church on wednesday nights and has just started his 3 Sons Lawn Care business back up for the year so he is really busy. He is going to California May 20th to hike Half Dome. The pictures of the last 400 feet almost made me change my mind about him going. I will just have to do alot of praying! Jordan is almost finished with his sophmore year in high school, is active with basketball and working part time at Ingles. Jared will be an official 3rd grader at the end of may and with the beautiful weather he is hardly inside the house anymore! He loves to play outside with the neighborhood buddies and is having fun playing baseball right now. They grow up so fast. Everyone has camps to go to the summer plus a trip to NYC, so I will let everyone know how all that goes!
