lately

our church has been meeting in the community center and we've been building for a little over a year.  we are getting close to being finished...the steeple is up!


"owe yeah!!!"  i love to read her stories!


there was one day when we weren't busy.


but, they made themselves busy...reading and building a bird house.


we had a yummy lunch with sweet friends!


if you need carter man, you can find him here because his big sister taught him how to swing!


john got a venus flytrap for teacher appreciation week.  this thing scares me almost as much as quicksand does! 


we had awana awards night and the ice cream truck came!


the rain keeps ruining our plans, but ice cream helps ease the pain!


an encouraging word from carter..."momma, you're gonna be old soon and then you're gonna be gone."


her nose is stuck in a book.


show and tell day...what should he bring?  stinky shoes or the race car he built?


back at the church property...covering the foundation in scripture, encouraging words, and drawings.

mother's day

i had a pretty great mother's day weekend!  i spent saturday with my mom shopping and eating!  we went to the urban barn market in hopes of finding some "good junk."


all i found was this giant cheeto and a chicken egg basket.



i woke up on sunday morning to breakfast, flowers, and lots of sweet cards and smiles. my favorite people gave me two new bracelets from my favorite noonday collection!!!


after church, we ate lunch with our moms at our favorite mexican restaurant!



after lunch, i got to take a nap and john planned the meals for the week and went grocery shopping!!!  i'm definitely blessed to have these people in my life!
