my how time flys

We have has such a busy month! I can't believe how much time has passed since my last post. My handsome little man will be 8 months pretty soon and I will be planning a MASSIVE birthday party for him before long.

We have been to Alabama and Florida this month. We had three graduations in Alabama then a vaca to Destin, Florida. Brodie did pretty well for all that traveling. I am so glad that we came back when we did. He has been teething sooo badly since we got home. He has had some major fits where he just screams and screams and screams. It doesn't matter what you do for him it isn't going to help oh and did i mention that he screams!!

Trent and I are very excited that our yard is going to be getting fixed. We have major water issues when it rains. It looks like a river that flows into a pond in our yard. It is awful! Gress's are going to be able to fix it pretty reasonably. We will also be starting on some landscaping around the front of the house. If anyone has any good websites that i could visit and get ideas let me know.

We have relay for life coming up next weekend. I am very excited, but always dread how i feel by 3pm on Saturday. Trent will be keeping Brodie while I am gone, but I am sure that they will find their way to the park somehow. We also have a Hembree Wedding coming up next weekend. (sheena get your dancing shoes on!! lol) I will have lots of pictures soon to follow. Hope you all have a great weekend!

How could I forget!!

About Everything we have been up to!!! We recently celebrated my nephew Noah's 6th birthday at Mr. Gattis! He had all of his little friends there and they had a blast :)

For Brodie's Easter party at school I tried to make cake pops. I do not recommend. I was very disappointed in them :(

That night Brodie fell asleep while eating. This was a first and a hoot!!


Trent would kill me so don't tell him I posted this picture of him!! ( don't mind my dirty kitchen)

We have been busy busy busy!!! Oh and everyone was sick AGAIN! I will be so glad when this bug is out of our home. We are getting ready for EASTER this week!! We are having Easter dinner at our house both Saturday and Sunday (I have some major cleaning to do). And I am making cake pops for Brodies daycare.

I had to add one big smile...when you get the camera out he freezes and doesn't usually smile. this was a treat for me to catch it

Hope you all have a Blessed week!!

What a Glorious day it will be!!

It is hard to think that a time of sadness about how Glorious it will be in heaven when the Lord is in the company of another Angel. As Andrea Boes time here on earth is coming to an end I can't fathom the pain her family and friends are feeling. I have been Blessed in knowing Andrea as her husband Jeff and my husband Trent worked side by side has police officers. Andrea is such an up-beat person who never felt as though the Lord had handed her a problem she couldn't get through. She kept her head held high and her heart lifted to the Lord and Praised Him! I hear stories of her strength and it makes me take a look at my life and not want to take anything for granted. I just continue to lift Andrea, Jeff and Ethan up and prayer and ask the Lord to take away her pain. We must also remember to pray for her abundance of family and friends that will never forget her or what she has done for them.

1 Corinthians 13:12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

Happy Birthday Batman!! (AKA Joel)

My nephew Joel turned 3 on Monday! As you can see he seems to think he can save the world from the Joker and such....Have no fear if you are a Superman fan he has one of those costumes too. Joel wears his capes from the time he comes home from school till he goes to bed. His poor mother has too drag them off of him. This seems to be hereditary!! His big brother Noah has passed along his super hero powers to Joel. Joel, Ninny (that's me) hopes you had a wonderful birthday and got everything you wanted. We love you!!!
