awana award ceremony

We had our Awana Award night at church and Carter received his Puggles certificate.

And this year, he didn't take a bite out of it!

Grace earned her Sparks First Book Award...that means that she memorized a whole bunch of verses! I pray that she will put that truth into action!

And...we celebrated with ice cream from the ice cream truck!

Spiderman ice-cream is dee-licious!

Hello Kitty is pretty yummy too!!!

On Mother's Day, I woke up to my kids telling me to stay in bed and read a book or a magazine or watch tv and before I could decide which one, I was reading a book or shall I say, a book was getting read to me.

Next, I was served breakfast in bed. Grace had been working on this breakfast for the few days before. (I did get real actual food a little later...thanks to John!)

Everyone gave me cards and flowers. Grace made this self-portrait for me! I love it!!!

We had a nice time at church...working in the nursery. Grace helped me make Mother's Day gifts with the 3 and 4 year olds.

After church, we ate lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant with Mimi and Grandma. (I'm so sad that I didn't get any pics there.) Then, we visited with Mawmaw. If Grace ever wonders what she will look like as she grows up...here is her answer!

Now, I really love the self-portrait that Grace made me, but...this may be my favorite gift ever! Grace was apparently very concerned that Carter refused to make me a Mother's Day gift at church. He will NOT paint his hands at church...he hasn't made me anything in two years now. So, she, I mean, Carter made me this card.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!

baby trace

This little guy made me an aunt for the 8th time!

My sister just had her baby boy, Trace, and we had to go to the farm to meet him.

Carter is super curious about babies. All day, he would stop playing to come check on baby Trace. Grace is sweet as always.

Baby Trace wasn't the only new baby on the farm!

But, he is definitely the cutest baby on the farm!

our kind of pets

We enjoyed watching our "patterkillars" crawl around and grow, grow, grow. Next, they formed their "chrysaloupes" and that wasn't too exciting. But, finally, out came beautiful butterflies! After a few days of watching and feeding our butterflies, it was time to let them spread their wings and fly!!!
