House Guests 2009

We have had such a busy summer that has been full of lots of baseball. I just wanted to share this picture from our tournament last weekend. I have three very special neighbors that grew up next door to me at my parents home in OKC and they visit us every summer. This summer they decided to make shirts for Clark's baseball tournament. We took this picture after the four games that day in 100 degree heat. I have lots to blog about and I hope to catch up soon.

Wordless Wednesday

A little vacation

My sweet hubby and I are going to be in Palm Springs for the next few days. I hope to have fun memories to share when we return home. Please say a special prayer that my parents and grandmother have a nice visit here with my peeps and that we all remain healthy. I hate being away from my peeps if they are ill.

Hugs,

Easter Memories

My favorite holiday has always been Easter for as long as I can remember. It seems like a magical time to me. New hope, new beginnings, and of course all of my favorite colors! I had always wanted to get married in April or have a baby in April. Since I was a teacher in my previous life the summer was the wedding time. And baby planning is left up to the great Gift Giver himself. But this Easter was one of the most special. We actually joined the new church that I had posted about previously. It feels like we have finally come "home".

Our day started with an Easter egg hunt very early in the morning. Well, actually we first had to explore our baskets and eat a little candy while Daddy was taking a shower so he could wake-up. My sweet hubby is NOT a morning person.

Once Clark found his eggs he was so good to help Will Henry.

Bella Ruth is not a morning person either, but the idea of candy got her motivated. :-)

The Easter bunny brought the sweetest dolls in their baskets. They look like each of the peeps and have their name and a special bible verse on their tummy. I just happen to know that he got them from www.babybeblessed.com . Bella Ruth and Will Henry have not put their baby dolls down since Easter morning. And Clark loves to sleep with his.

Waiting for Daddy so they can hunt eggs. THis is one of the many funny faces from our little man. His Ninna says that his Daddy had lots of funny faces growing up.

We went to my in-laws for a late egg hunt with their cousins and dinner. Bella Ruth was pretty tired by this time. But lots of fun was still had!

The peeps loved the bubbles that the Easter bunny left for them. We ended up in the neighbors yard blowing bubbles for a long time.

The last picture of the day. These are all of the cousins on my husbands side. We live within 1 mile of each other so the peeps see each other lots.

We went to the Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday night. It was just breathe-taking, beautiful and moving. Yes, I was confirmed into the Catholic church at this time. We are very excited and are enjoying this journey as a family. I hope that each of you had a special Easter too.

Will Henry's 2nd birthday

I'm so far behind on posting but I thought I would share some pictures from Will Henry's 2nd birthday. We had an intimate party with just a few of his cousins. The birthday boy was very happy with the food, cake and fun! I think he is like his big sister... he LOVES getting attention.

Happy Birthday Little Man!

We Love You to the moon and back... a million times!!

I forgot to mention that this was his party at his Ninna and Granddad's.

Happy Easter to all of our friends and family!

Hugs,

Prayer Request

I have a quick prayer request for anyone and everyone that is reading my blog. There is a sweet, strong Mama in blogland that needs all of the prayers that her darling baby Stellan can get! Please visit her wonderful site here. www.mycharmingkids.net

As soon as I figure out how to add a button to my blog I will!

Gotta go to bed because my baby boy has decided that is nice to wake up around 5:30 for the last few mornings.

Hugs, Chesnye
