Happy Birthday, Anna K.

Today (4/20) our sweet little Anna K. is 4!

She is my only niece. Because I am the only sibling for both Jules & Stephen, I am her only aunt (she has many fabulous great aunts though). She stole my heart from the moment I saw her in the hospital nursery with a little pink bow in her hair. She is sassy and stubborn just like her Aunt Abby...and spoiled rotten to the core! I love that she looks just like Jules and acts just like me. Her little personality is contagious and that sweet little face always melts my heart. I love that her Uncle Randall fell in love with her just as fast as I did. It thrills my soul that she loves Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears and Barbies just as much as me. I love that she has a huge imagination and has a healthy relationship with her imaginary friends. I love that she loves her nails painted and requires a spritz of body spray after dressing for the day. I love that her brothers adore her and let her rule the roost. I am so glad God gave Jules & Stephen a little girl to soften things up a little bit in an all boy house. Yet, Anna has had more stitches, falls, cuts, bruises, etc than all 3 boys combined. She is a feisty little princess, that is for sure! She has given all of us 4 very full years and for that I am most thankful.

Happy Birthday Sissy, I love you the BIGGEST much!

Abby

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
