Jesus in Awesome

I was checking some blogs I like to read today and noticed that the last time we posted anything was Wednesday and that is just too long (that and Chip telling me that it had been a while!). So I shall come up with something funny and amusing to share with you.

Today I was getting the kool-aid mustache off of Anna's upper lip(put plain ol' toothpaste on a wet washcloth and rub, and it miraculously comes off-amazing!!), apparently I was rubbing a little too hard because she said "Don't rub my head off or Jesus will have to give me a new head!" She gives Jesus a lot of credit for things I'm not so sure He wants credit for. Like the other day when I told her to go to the bathroom and she told Samuel that Jesus hadn't put any poop in her. I realize that Jesus is awesome and capable of anything but Anna might just be pressing her luck there!

While we are on the subject of Jesus, let me share with you about our seniors this year. Our church held a banquet for our graduating seniors (there were 8 of them) last night and today we honored them with a slide show(are they still called that?) and announcement of their accomplishments and a Bible. This group of seniors is really great! There are 6 boys and 2 girls, 5 of the boys are Eagle Scouts. They all received various scholarships and are headed off to four different colleges. I am so honored to have known these kids. The love they have for their families, their church, their pastors wife(which is the most important to love! LOL!!), and God should be an inspiration for us all. They have overcome many odds this year and still have seen themselves quite successful. I am so proud of Samuel, Seth (they are twins), Randall, Megan, Julian, Laura Ann, Johnathan and Kyle. I use each of you as examples to my children, thank you for being so transparent to our family and so kind to my children. Please continue to be good examples, just because you are going to college doesn't mean we aren't watching you! We will be!!!!
Please continue to pray for Abby and Randall as they look for a house, try to sell theirs and as Abby looks for a job.

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 p...

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...
