Daddy Day


I got to spend Father's Day with my daddy. It is rare that I am with him on his special day. I was so glad he and Connie came to stay the night with us and visit for a bit. It is never dull with Daddy in the house, that is for sure!


Julie and I had the kids make Daddy this canvas back in the winter during one of our visits. He really liked it. I got him the Bob shirt and Bob ice cube tray. Daddy's name is Bob, in case you didn't know. He LOVED the gifts, as you can only imagine. I am sure the t-shirt has already made its debut in Desoto County.


Henry loves his Grandaddy. Those two get so wild and worn out when they are together. it is funny. Daddy always told us Mr. Whisker stories when we were little. It was a made up voice and story line. I loved Mr. Whisker stories before bed when I was little. Henry now also loves Mr. Whiskers and begs for the stories all the time. Oh me...


There is a never a dull moment with Daddy around. I love him for teaching me how to laugh. Julie and I can both be so comical and silly. We can thank our sweet daddy for it. Humor is a survival mechanism and a gift. I am so glad we are richly blessed with it. Julie and I would not be sisters without this silly and sweet man. I am so thankful he made us a family and most importantly, that he helped teach us about Jesus.


I must include my sweet baby daddy in this Father's Day post. He asked for "peace". He always asks for peace at gift giving time. This time Henry and I made him a peace canvas with a verse from Psalms for him to hang upstairs in his office. Henry also filled out a questionnaire about his daddy. It was the cutest thing. Randall is such a wonderful daddy. He is hands on, never complains about his duties and loves our child like crazy. Randall never lets anything come before Henry. It is sweet to watch him soak up every moment with his son. I learn alot from watching him. It makes me a better mama, and I am so thankful God is allowing us to parent alongside each other. What a joy.
We had a fun Father's Day together killing mosquitoes, worshiping together and playing hard. It doesn't get much better than that, folks.

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...
