Friendly Frolics

This week I had the pleasure of getting face to face with a childhood friend of mine right in my very own home. That is rare for me and I loved it. Terri was in town for work and came over for pizza and conversation...and playdough, and fire trucks and Daniel Tiger's neighborhood...etc. Henry and I had fun entertaining her and catching up. She and I grew up in church together and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. There is nothing like a friend who knows what has molded you into who you are as an adult. I don't have have the luxury of being around friends like that much because of where I live and not going back home that often. It was great to talk about Jojo Skutt The Wonder Mutt and things such as that, and having to explain nothing. Silver friends really outweigh the gold most of the time, truth be told.

Henry and I have had a lot of mama/son time this week with Randall being in LA, AL and MS planting corn. It has been nice enough to play and frolic outside after school this week. I am so grateful for the sunshine and fresh air, and I know Henry is also. I love spring and all that comes with it. We put all of our snowmen in the attic and brought out the bunnies this week. I am so excited about Easter and celebrating our Risen Savior.

I thought I would share some fabulous photography for a cause. Click here to go to our cousin Sarah's Etsy shop. She is raising money through her talents to help find a cure for MS. The disease she wakes up with every morning. It doesn't define her though...her many talents do. Go check it out!

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'
