It's been a while

I didn't realize my birthday post for Anna didn't post on here, I have no idea why except that the computer I'm using doesn't like for me to blog!

Daniel and David had their birthdays too, and then we headed to Branson to celebrate all three April birthdays. As hectic and costly as it is to have 3 birthdays in a week, it sure is fun!

So this is what has happened since...

D&D have finished elementary school!! And they had a graduation ceremony. Our homeschool group had two senior that were graduating, five 6th graders, and two Kindergarteners. It was a great night! We had Mexican food for supper and then a sweet, special graduation. Homeschool graduations are really great. They're usually small and personalized and super sweet.

We went to Branson for a few days. David and Anna didn't want to ride any roller coasters this trip so eh hung out together. They rode the log ride and the river raft ride, I was freezing and they were walking around soaked and very happy. The others rode roller coasters for two days and loved it. The Beavers' just enjoy being around us so they had a great time too.

Abby told about mom coming to our house. We enjoy her visits so much, and really had a fun time just hanging out!

Stephen took a group from the BCM to se the Passion Play in Eureka Springs and took my van. And also took his truck keys, so I was left stranded at home for the day. Thankfully mom was here for a bit and then a friend came and picked us up for a while. There are days in a row that I don't have to leave the house, but that wasn't one of them!

So much more has happened, but this has gone on long enough. Anything exciting happening with you?

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...
