A few things

First of all, and most importantly DANIEL WAS SAVED!!!
Monday night after I had tucked him in bed we heard him crying. Stephen went in to check on him and he was crying saying" I need to be saved". Stephen talked to him, showed him Bible verses and prayed with him. What a sweet moment.
We are all so excited, the smile didn't leave his face until this morning (this is Wednesday). How precious.
We don't know when he will be baptized, but we will let everyone know when the date is.

Second,
Today the boys had a cooking competition ala Iron Chef. The secret ingredient was bologna. They had 45 minutes and all cooked at the same time. It was such fun listening to them.
Samuel presented me with a "bologna skewer" and "bologna nachos". The skewer had onions, carrots, and of course fried bologna all on a knife/skewer. The nachos were made up of two different chips, lettuce and fried bologna seasoned with a bbq rub and Cavendars.
David made a "bologna salad".It had large lettuce leaves, chunks of carrots ("because mom I know you like chunky carrots in your salad",) pickles, and bologna, all with a dressing of red cooking wine, lemon juice and Cavendars.
Daniel made a "bologna burger". It had two pieces of fried bologna spiced with paprika, and taco seasoning all on a toasted bun.
I had to declare a winner so David won. His presentation was beautiful and colorful. His prize is two lunches today and possible breakfast for lunch tomorrow.
They were so cute and quite Iron Chef-like in their presentations to me-the judge. It was the cutest thing. Now, I wish I had videotaped it. TOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps. Did I tell you that this was all their idea. All of it, I had nothing to do with it at all.

That is wonderful that he is saved! Praise God! What great news to share! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Glad testing went well for Samuel too! Looks like guys are still caught up in baseball too. I thought I saw your ds and dh at the field the other day. Maybe we'll catch up with each other one of these days! Hope you're enjoying your summer:)

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'
