GOOFY PICS!

Adam's dodgeball tournament last weekend at Judson!

Happy Valentine's Day to my Valentine

I wanted to wish my one and only a Happy early Valentine's Day! He is really a wonderful husband to me and super daddy to Emma and Ian. It feels as though I have always loved him. Adam is not only my love, but also my best friend! Yep...I think I'll keep him! :-)

Happy Valentine's Day! <3

Emma is 8!!

I just can't believe it...Emma turned 8 years old yesterday! That is unreal to me. Because she is growing up so much, we decided to give her (and her friend Bailey) a birthday party sleepover last weekend! It was a good time (minus a few obstacles), and full of fun memories for all the friends that came. We started out with a little swimming...then some pizza...then some Wii and a little cupcakes...then a movie or two...then some sleep...oh...scratch that last part :-)....

Yesterday, we were going all day. Started off with breakfast...ice cream (only for a birthday)! Then to McDonald's for lunch (I tried my hardest to persuade her to go somewhere else to no avail). After that, we went to see Hotel For Dogs at the movies (cute movie). We then went to Awana at church, and finally to Cracker Barrel for dinner....healthy day, huh? I guess birthdays are a good time to bend the rules!

Emma is growing up...I can see it more all the time. She is learning about life, and friends, and most importantly God, and His standards for us. Sometimes when we teach them...I can tell that she "gets" it....Ian too. I love those moments. They are moments that God ordains and I am thankful for them. Emma is a loving girl with a sweet heart. She teaches me so much about myself. I am thankful for her and Ian. I love them so much!
