Zachary and Sadie are doing really well, besides Miss Sadie having a double ear infection (she went to the doc today).  Their cousins, Caleb & Caitlyn are in town and Zachary LOVES to play with them.  Last night he spent the night over at my parents house.  They went to church (Les & I watched online since Sadie had a yellow snotty nose), went to eat yogurt, then went home and played till he finally crashed.  :)

My brother is getting married in a little over a week - yay!  Tonight is his bachelor party with our cousin, Philip, and my hubby, Les.  Tomorrow night is Staci's bachelorette party.  I made her cake today and I think it turned out pretty cute!  I will post pictures once I actually TAKE a picture of it.  I already have it covered, so I will take one tomorrow night of it.  The gals are going to go and eat dinner; then back for a lingerie shower.  Should be a fun time of laughs, good fellowship, and of course, good food!  HA!

Hope you're all doing well - hope you have a great weekend!!!!!

Happy Father's Day

To my own dad and to my hubby too!!!!!

2 great men who are strong in the Lord - what more can a girl ask for?!

Dad,
Thank you for all that you do for me, from helping me build stuff to watching my kids to giving me advice with planting flowers!!!  I love you!!!

Les,
Thank you for loving the kids and I unconditionally.  This thing called parenting has been a lot of fun with you - I'm glad that you're my partner for all of this.  I cherish all the moments that we have together and I look forward to our future and what is in store for us.  God has truly blessed us beyond measure and I am so thankful for that.  I love you and I know the kids do also!

I pray for both of you and know that God definitely broke the mold when He designed you 2 great men.  I love you for each of your personalities; you definitely don't conform to this world by any means.  Thank you for guiding your families down life's path.

I love you, Les!!!
I love you, dad!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Measuring Day for my Mommy

My mom was back in the doctor today to have her spot measured.  Dr. L said that it had grown some and would be getting in touch with Dr. B.  Dr. L would like to have another PET scan run to see what's going on inside as far as the cancer is concerned.  We just pray that there will be no more cancer spreading and that it is localized to where they've been measuring.  It's definily scary, but at the same time, I can cry and pray out to Dr. Jesus!!!!  I shed a few tears driving while the kids slept on our way home, but I feel so much better now.  I KNOW who's in charge and I can't believe any of Satan's lies that are whispered LOUDLY b/c all Satan cares about is destroying us.  We know who is ultimately in charge and I rest in that truth.  As I was telling my mom over the phone," you know you're in God's path when Satan is attacking us."  Please Lord, continue to give me Your strength through all of this.  Continue to help me leaning on You & letting You guide me.

Thank you, Jesus, for dying for me and my sins.  Thank you for Your love.  Thank you for your healing hand.  I love you, Jesus!!

HUGE zuchinni

This was from our garden - man, it LOVED the rain we had last Wed........HAHAHAHA

These pictures literally do NOT do is justice; it's just huge all the way around too!!!!!!!!  I can't wait to cut into it and see if it's just too big to use or what.  :)

Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence

This devotion book that my mom gave me for Mother's Day is awesome!  If you need a good devotion book; then you should try this one out.  It's short and a perfect way to start or end the day. 

Rejoice in the Lord; again I say Rejoice!!!!!!

For THIS is the day that the Lord has made!!!!!!

15 months!

Little Miss Sadie is 15 months old.......TODAY! 

She is just growing like a little weed and doing really well.  She's a great eater, loves to play, is sleeping all night, has been weaned for about a month now, walking everywhere, is a snuggle bunny, and so much more.

She's such a joy to be around and we're so blessed to have her as our daughter.

Sadie, we love you and so happy with who you are!
