Shake your Keister, It's Easter!



 
We have geared up for Easter this past week or two. Henry says Easter is mine...meaning, he knows I love it a lot. It is truly one of my most favorite things. 


He dyed eggs with Kool-Aid at his Nana's house this week. He enjoyed that as much as she did, I'm certain! We are thankful for her being close and able to keep him on a whim. This time of year is nutso for real estate and agriculture! 


In the midst of our week of Easter fun we went to see about some prekindergarten options. He enjoyed it more than me, I'm certain! Lol. 


We decided it was time to introduce him to the fire at the steak house this week.  He loved it! It was hysterical to watch him. 


Henry enjoyed his Easter party at school. He is the cutest bunny ever! 


Good Friday was spent egging some friends. We left filled eggs and one empty to symbolize the empty tomb. At each stop I had him tell me why we left an empty egg and he would tell me "because Jesus is not in there. He's alive, Mama!" ;) 


We went to the Elks egg hunt. We are members but really only for the pool!  We decided to take part in the egg hunt this year. It was fun and he got a bucket full of candy filled eggs. It was short and sweet. Everyone was happy. 


Watching the preschool choir sing their Easter song last Sunday night was precious. Henry knows the Easter story inside out and front to back. Nothing pleases my mama heart more. I pity the children who don't have parents who teach them of Christ's love. It's so easy and our purpose.  Next time you see Henry in person I encourage you to ask him what kind of king Jesus is. You will love to hear him say, "He is a servant king". Be still my heart!




No more smocked Easter wear for my sweet big boy...sniff,sniff. This big bow tie wearing cutie is ready to celebrate our Risen Saviour tomorrow on Easter.  I took pre Easter pictures of him last year and it worked so well I did it again this year. Makes Easter morning less hectic because we all know I love Easter and I love pictures!!! Ha. 


The bunny has filled his new painted basket and it is ready for him in the morning. He is so excited and I am in awe and disappointed in myself. No one child should get this much stuff in an Easter basket! It is what it is, I reckon! Henry Lee is rotten yet he knows Easter is all about Jesus so it makes me feel better about the busting basket! Ha.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

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
