Kid Updates

Anna is really coming into herself these days. She is so much fun to watch. She loves playing with the boys and they love playing with her. They let her in their forts, and sit and watch Caillou with her.(which is more than I would do, that little boy gets on my nerves!)

Today, she was watching me hang up clothes while she layed on my bed. She was on her tummy with her legs up (so cute!) I was thinking that we would have many more of these times, me working, her watching me and talking to me about her day.
And then she said,
" I think I'll smell my feet."
And then she did.
She said one smelled good and the other smelled "nasty."

Later, we were talking about what a big girl she was and she said,
"When I put my hands on my hips, I'm big!"
And I agreed with her, because when she puts those hands on her hips, and juts that one hip out just a bit she does look like a small version of a teenager.

I know I've written on here many times about how I can't imagine that this season of my life(with 4 children with me ALL the time) will just "fly by." But I want you to know that I am trying to enjoy each day as it comes. Seeing D&D grow up so fast is making me realize how much I need to treasure each and every day. Your prayers have been answered! Go God!!!

ps. I have started D&D in a 3rd grade timed reading book. They read one page, they have between 3-5 minutes depending on the length of the story, and then answer 4-6 questions about what they have read. They have done so good. The most either of them have missed is 1 question. I'm really proud of them and glad that I pulled this book out. They are also reading 3rd grade readers. They are really doing good, just wanted to brag a bit! Samuel is too, don't think I'm leaving him out, he is studying hard and learning so much. It really is a thrill to see them learn and do so well in their school work.

Thanks for sharing! I can just imagine Anna with her hands on her hips! Just like her mama did (and still does on occasion!)

Love you!

I can see her smelling those feet and saying "NASty", in her unique Anna tone. I. LOVE. THOSE. BABIES!

Little Anna is just a doll! Good for the boys and their reading skills! Glad to hear they're doing well!

I remember when both of your feet stunk ! You are a wonderful mother and I am so proud of you and how you are raising those kids.
God has blessed the four of them with wonderful, Godly parents.
They are blessed and so are you and the Right Reverend.

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'
