Love Him

Did somebody say cupcake?

Oh yeah!

The LORD is good to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works.

Psalm 145:9

It's Summer!

 Colson and Zach have had such a fun year at school. They both have learned so much and done the neatest things. Today was their last day which (according to Zach) means it's summer!

 He helped me make cupcakes for his class party. He had each one picked out for his friends and teachers. ; )

 The boys also helped me pick out their teachers' gifts. Well, sort of. ; ) I tried to think of something I would like, so I bought some small ivy plants and Sonic giftcards.

 I was so happy when I found the little signs at Target. They were only 30 cents each!

 Colson's teachers Ms. Heather, Ms. Rachel, and Ms. Darlene

 Z's teachers Ms. Kim and Ms. Carrie

We have LOVED the boys' teachers. Sweet Godly women. So thankful for them.

Ah, Peanut. Zach wanted nothing to do with her on the first day of school, and then they became best friends. Of course! Too cute.

Let your love, God, shape my life with salvation, exactly as You promised... 

Psalm 119:41

Fun Friday

 

Wouldn't you love to feel this way all the time?!

Have a wonderful weekend!

You will go out in joy and be lead forth in peace...

Cradled

I would like to share an amazing resource with ya'll. It's called Cradled, and my sweet friend Rachelle has been working with a few other women to get this up and running. Cradled is a support system that exists "for women and families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, early infant loss, and infertility."

Rachelle has a daughter Grace who is in Heaven, and she has such a sensitive heart to other moms faced with losing a child. Cradled offer encouragement, support groups and certain services to those in Central Texas. I'm so thankful for "safe places" like this for moms who have babies in Heaven.

I'm also linking up with Tesha's Treasures today. She does an amazing job connecting moms to encourage and love on one another. Thank you, Tesha!

Don't forget to enter the Picky Sticky giveaway. I'll announce the winner tomorrow night. ; )

...you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.

Happy 22 months, Colson! I can't believe it. The weeks and months just fly by.

 You are at such a fun stage.

We love you, Colson! You are perfect for our family.

It's giveaway time!

Mother's Day 2012

Happy Mother's Day!

Love you mom, and love you Trish!

My sweet Dad sent me these beautiful roses, and the boys gave me a pink butterfly bush. I'm a lucky mama. ; ) I can't wait to see all the butterflies.

Another little treat was seeing one of my Baylor roommates Rebekah and her little Mitchell. They were in town for the weekend, and we got to hang out all Friday afternoon. Loved every second.

 This is what makes my Mother's Day the best day ever. I am so in love with my husband and adore our boys.

 Shannon and Cody dedicated Reagan in church this morning. She did great!

G-Daddy and Gran with their hands full. ; )

We grilled out at Shannon's for lunch, and she made these yummy cupcakes. Aren't the toppers cute?

I hope today is special if you're a mom or if you're still waiting for GOD's timing for you to be one. Keep believing. He is faithful.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow to do Colson's 22 month Picky Sticky giveaway. ; )

But You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
