Happy Birthday Zachary!

Last week, Zachary, my nephew, turned 1. His birthday party was Saturday. Here's some pictures I took. It's always fun to get together with the cousins and watch the kids play.
Zach is the youngest of my nieces and nephews. It's going to be fun watching him grow up and get old enough to start hanging out with JT. Zach, or Z-Man as they've nicknamed him, appears to be fearless, like his two older sisters. Paul & Teresa, my advice is to make sure your insurance doesn't lapse as your kids get bigger. Lyndsey kept wanting to take Z's new riding toy upstairs; I kept envisioning the "indoor stair luge". Zach wanted to go under the trampoline while they were jumping, just cause it looked cool under there. Kinda sounds like Paul, his daddy.

I'm waiting for something?

Is this really okay?

Finger Licking Good!

JT loves the toys at Jerry & Susan's house -- construction & trains!It was the 2 & 3 yr old that were being good -- "reading" books together.
It was a jump'in good time; see Zach below...

Hope you had a great birthday Z-man. We love you!

Bird Bath

As some of you know, we get all kinds of critters in these here parts. Cats, dogs, squirrels, birds, geckos, lizards, possums, rats... When we planted flowers this Spring, we moved the bird bath to the ground, out in front of the windows. We have a front row seat to the animals visiting our watering hole.

Another Weekend In Review

We had another busy weekend.

Saturday, the Women's Ministry at our church had an event called Mom's Expo. I helped with the event and was gone most of the day. The expo had break-out sessions with topics for Moms with kids of all ages, vendors/resources in the hallways and a lunch. I am thankful to have been a part of it and hope it made a difference for Moms that attended.

Sunday, all 4 of us went to the drag strip in Denton for a car club day. Daddy is part of a Chevelle club. There's a few pictures below. Maybe next time, I can get a picture of Daddy leaving the starting line. The kids thought it was neat, but they thought the cars were "too loud", too cold and too windy. Guess they are more like Mom than I thought. LOL. Maybe it will be nicer next time. They'll get used to the noise. The cars are fast; they're supposed to be loud.

3 trains went by while at the track; JT was loving it

the kids ate lunch in the car; they posed with their cookies


Daddy's Hot Rod

JT, the Preschooler

My baby boy is growing up too fast! He's turning into such a little boy vs. a toddler with his vocabulary taking off, growing in height, trying to keep up with Sissy and blazing his own trail. JT has such a personality on him -- never met a stranger and never met anyone he couldn't get to laugh, or at least smile. :)

Speaking of fast, here's a picture of him running "fast" Friday.

Quite the pose for Mom
Hamming it up!

His "Pumpkin" class made snowflakes. JT is not cooperating --more interested in his friend Austy and his Daddy in the hallway.

JT is showing us his "Vroom, Vroom" picture.

Another One Bites the Dust

Another tooth gone...Sissy lost another tooth yesterday. It's been hanging on by a thread for awhile now. If Papa was here, it would have been "outta there" a long time ago.

Sissy now looks more like I did in 1st grade; I remember missing my 2 front, top teeth in my school picture.

This is the day the Lord has made...

"To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today."

(Jesus Calling, Sarah Young)
