Telling Randall's Parents

Sunday - April 12, 2009
Today is Easter and we told Ben & Molly.
We had plans to have Ben & Molly over for Easter lunch. I love entertaining and she loves to be pampered. It is a great match. I did all the cooking, except the fruit salad. We had honey baked ham, hashbrown casserole, homemade mac & cheese, deviled eggs, Mexican corn, yeast rolls, coconut cake, chocolate pie and fruit salad. It was most yummy and I was most tired when it was all said and done.
I had prepared Easter baskets for both of them. Molly's had a book that said "Grandma Loves me" along with her favorite candy and other goodies. Ben's had a John Deere bib in it with his favorite candy and other goodies. They both took their baskets at the same time. Ben went straight for the bib while Molly was focused on her candy. I was watching him hold that bib up to his chest and mumble, "I don’t think this is going to fit. What is this? Ok, I think it is too small…" She began to look up at him to see what the deal was and I stopped her and said, "Look at that book in your basket". Her eyes were as big as sand dollars as she stared at me in shock. He stopped mumbling and looked over with wonder on his face. I said, "We're having a baby." She shouted, "Really, You really are??!!" I hugged her and said, 'Yes, I really am." The bib then made total since to Ben and he put it down and moved on to his candy.
Molly immediately started talking about baby beds. She wanted to go buy one right then! It was so much fun to see her so excited. The woman LOVES a baby and I know she will love Baby L like crazy. I can't wait to see her love this baby of mine.

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'
