Happy Mother's Day, and it was!

my wonderful hubby let me sleep in and i woke up (close to 8!!) to a wonderful breakfast in bed made by kevin, myah and eli.
at church-we dedicated ethan, so neat! (both boys were dedicated here at this church!) then to Luby's for lunch (my choice, i love cafe food!) then home to lots of laughs w/ the kiddos and then bible stories before bed. my gift was P90X...more about that later. thank you kevin and my awesome children for loving me and praise you Lord for allowing my dream to become a mother be even more than i could ever dream!

STRAWBERRY PATCH!!!

okay, this was so fun, but next time-we really should think twice about going when it's 90 degrees and humid as all get out. also, carrying a baby in a baby bjorn and trying to bend over to pick strawberries doesn't really work. here's myah-the 'star picker' and her brother and friends at young's farm. eli didn't quite 'get it' at first. he ate the ENTIRE strawberries, yes, the green leaves and all! then when i showed him to eat just the red part and to throw the green into the field...well, he'd just pick a strawberry and chunk the whole thing. HA! the kids worked so hard and were so hot and tired when it was all over. hot. fun. yummy.

funny things

here's eli, playing with his nascar game (which is under his bed). ha! then here's the Big E, showing his unhappiness with our decision not to let him play outside, hee.hee. (is this mean?!) and then there's big sister and big brother looking at baby brother in his bed. cuuuute!

friends and family

kev's parents, both aunts/uncles and cousin/pg wife and nephew all came down last weekend to meet baby ethan before we move. they were all so kind to stay in a hotel, but all the play time was done here. we celebrated aunt kay's bday and had a family rock-band nite. fun times.

here's myah and her friend olivia who lives down the street. man! we've made so many neat friends here in WF; thank you Lord! friends are such a gift! but it is going to be haaaaard to leave this place!
