Fun with Family

This past weekend we went to Texas to visit my mom. My cousin came up with her family from Corpus Cristi, TX, so we had a lot of cousins together. My niece and nephew came over and played too! It was such a fun weekend. We were able to visit with my brother and sister-in-law and my aunt and uncle from Lubbock too. We also had an opportunity to celebrate my mom's boyfriend Bob's birthday along with ALL the May birthday's in our family...Mine, Scott David's, Aubree's, Bob's, and Erika, I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, so I'm sorry! Anyway, lots of pictures! Hope you enjoy. You can see how much fun the kids had together!

We had so much fun! I'll post more pictures later of some of the adults! Gotta run for now, field day at school!

SCC

Most of you know how fond I am of Steven Curtis Chapman and his music, my heart is so very broken for his family. I had the honor of meeting him once a few years back thanks to my friends Tom and April Hook. He was so gracious and so sweet, I'm trying to find the pic I have with him, but no luck on the computer. I'll find my printed version and scan it in. Please Pray for his family, anytime you hear one of his songs just lift them up in prayer. The unthinkable has happened, to loose your child and to have one feeling the weight of responsibility is more than any parent can handle alone. God is the ONE who understands so please lift SCC and his family up to Him!

I have pics to share, but I really felt like this was more important! I can't get their family off my mind!

Eleven Years

At the end of the week Scott and I celebrated 11 years of marriage! It was a busy weekend for us, with a relatives graduation from Law School, (Way to go BRAD!), but we still managed to squeeze in some time to celebrate. I'm still amazed at what God has done in our lives, in our marriage. It's been such a joy to share this life with my best friend. What more could you ask for? We have been through so much! The loss of grandparents, my dad, my uncle Jim, Jack's surgeries, weddings and more funerals, births of our children, miscarriages, etc. Through it all I am so glad you were the one standing by me! I am excited to continue this journey with you and see where God takes us, thank you for all you do for me and the kids, your an amazing Man and I am so proud to be your wife!

***Sorry it got mushy, but since Scott is probably one of the only people who reads my blog, it had to be done!!

Heather Week!

Starting with Mother's day, begin's Heather week. At least this is what Scott calls it, because, Mother's Day, my Birthday and Our Anniversary falls all on the same week. So we started off with Mother's day and celebrated all week long. It was a fun week. I also share my birthday month with several friends. So Here is my sweet friend Joli whose birthday is on the 11th (Mother's day this year!)

My Neighbor Esther and I actually share the same actual day, so we went to eat Mexican, (as good as it gets here in Colorado), and had cake later.
















Then our dear friends Rhett and Jeanne had us over for burgers and cake, Rhett's birthday is the 27th so we celebrated both birthdays today. It was so much fun.


And my sweet friend Jeanne, who always is so sweet to celebrate Me! Thank you Jeanne, your awesome!

So I kind of thought 34 would be a boring year, but after looking back at all the photo's and all the great friends, it was one of the best! Thanks to everyone who made my week so special and who helped me celebrate!

The Things Kids "Say"

Jack, at 2 1/2 while potty training, was asking me with my hands full at Sonic, "get me this, get me that," I said "just a minute Jack, my hands are full, I'm not superwomen!" He looked at me quite surprised and said "oh, You're Not!"

Megan, singing "Awesome God" she sang, "He reins with Eleven Above!" (correct lyrics: He reigns in Heaven above)

Lily, at the table the other day she wanted a drink of what I was having because it was a treat, but she wasn't eating, so I told her I would be glad to give her a drink once she started eating. She proceeded to tell me I was hurting her feelings and I told her I was sorry she felt that way, but she still had to eat to have a drink, she then tells me "Mommy, your just breaking my heart!"

I LOVE IT!

PUPPIES!!

Sky had Puppies Thursday, she had three happy healthy little pups! A Boy and two girls, who will be nicknamed Jack, Meg and Lily, then I decided to shorten it even further to J, M and L, so as not to confuse the kids!! So here's a picture of the three musketeers. (for those who might be wondering, yes she normally would have more, but this time must have been an off "time" for her and the breeder says we should try again later for a little bit bigger litter.

Randomness

Just wanted to post some pics of the kids for those who might not have seen my kids in a while! Jack is now 9, Megan is 6 1/2 (7 in July) and Lily is 4 1/2 (5 in november)!

Back Tracking

Last week the kids ran in a 1 mile fun run! They all three did awesome, Jack and Meg ran the entire mile in a little over 10 minutes! No stopping (jack did for a couple of seconds for a cramp, but it didn't slow him up much!), I carried Lily about half the way, but she finished strong! I didn't have my camera at the race, but here's a shot of them at home showing off their certificates and medals! They all got chuckie cheese coupons and medals. Jack and Meg want to run another fun run next week, so we'll see how that goes!

Celebrate!

On Thursday April 30th after a very sweet conversation with all three kids about God, Megan asked if she was a christian, I said "you tell me!" She said "I kind of am" Scott and I explained to her what the bible says about how you can KNOW you have Jesus in your heart and it was just as simple as a prayer to receive this awesome gift. She says "I want to pray RIGHT NOW!" It was SOO AWESOME! We all knelt as a family and I totally videoed because I didn't want to ever forget this moment! She prayed using her own words, the were so sweet and really heart felt! She received Jesus! That night was baskin robbins 31cent scoop night so we went and celebrated by getting Ice Cream! It just seemed appropriate to go out and celebrate! The next day, I asked her if she felt different and she said yes, I asked how and she said "yesterday I didn't feel God and today I do!" How profound!
