Happy Father's Day!!!

To My Big Brother - I know you're not my dad (even though you're OLDER than me:) but you have had a huge impact on my life - most importantly introducing me to my Savior Jesus Christ! You truly are one of my favorite people in the world and there is never a dull moment when you're around - even though you tease my boys to no end!

To My Dad: I'm convinced that next to their father and I, no one loves my boys more than you do. You've always been a great dad to me and still take care of me - sorry about the hornet's next yesterday! Yikes!

To My Hubby:

Thanks for being a Godly Father and Husband - I don't know what I would do without you - you love me at my worst!

Here's a little video the boys and I put together for their dad - it was so fun!

GROOVY

The twins were in a talent show at school today. We cheered, we laughed, and we had fun. Good year........great memories........

Welcome to My Crib

Kelly is hosting "Show us where you live Friday - Living Rooms!" I didn't do the Kitchen tour last week. But go check it out - what fun to see everyone's great homes and get decorating ideas.

Here is our main living room... I know I have animals on the walls. Remember, I'm married to Grizzly Adams. This is the view from the loft.

Our kitchen and living room is open together which was what we wanted when we were looking for a home. Yes, that is a fish on the far wall. I have 3 boys, cut me some slack.

This is the view when coming in the front door.

and looking from the corner of the living room - those stairs go up to the loft, my scrapbooking room. No boys allowed!

This is the living area in our basement, where the boys hang out. We were able to buy the pool table for a LOW price when we moved in. I think the owners didn't want to mess with moving it.

That's pretty much it - thanks for stopping by!!! Have a blessed weekend!

My Loves in April

1. Heath hit his first home run ever. I wasn't at the game. No mother of the year award for

me...again.

2. Administrative Assistant's Day. Lunch at Olive Garden and some rockin' mixing bowls from

Williams Sonoma, AND a decadent brownie mix. Love. Love. Love.

3. Having my nephews over for a few hours. What's two more boys?

4. Creating. My nephews wedding shower invite.

5. Projects. Don't worry, I saved the picture of Jesus and will do something else with it. But for frame......
I'm obsessed with chalkboard paint. I painted the frame first with a cream color and then added little stain to it to give it some "aging". Then I just painted over the glass with chalkboard paint. I see more chalkboards in my future!!God is good, have a great May!!

MY LOVES IN MARCH

I know we're half way through April, but give a mom a break!

These are my "loves" about March:

1. Retreat with my FBC ladies at a beautiful ranch - ah peacefulness!

2. 16 Years with my man and he still makes my heart skip a beat, he still brings me peanut

M&M's when he senses I've had a bad day.

3. Spring Break - no getaway, oh but how I loved staying home and painting my bedroom,

bathroom and kitchen - heaven! Can you tell I'm a messy painter??

4. Listening to my boys pray - Oh How I love my men!

5. My man taking the boys fishing several times even when I'm sure he would have loved some time to himself.......he takes them every time he goes and never complains.

6. And......

My nephew's wedding.........so sweet!

April has a lot of loves too, which I'll post at the end of the month, but for now, I'll post something I put together on Friday. We were having some friends over after the Good Friday service at our church and I wanted something to put on the table besides bunnies. (Eventhough I love my bunnies!)

So I downloaded this image off the internet, put a flower on it and framed it. He is Risen!!

Have a blessed week!
