Family Picture

I love this picture

drawn by this big guy (who just turned 6 on Sunday)

because it will only be accurate for another few hours because this other big guy


turns three tomorrow!

P.S. Please pray for MckMama . Tomorrow is little Stellan's birthday too!

What a romantic!

My man brought these home from soccer practice for me.


What a great guy! He really knows the way to a woman's heart! He is such a blessing to me...

Of course, I'm talking about my little man,

lest you think Hubs has turned over some new romantic leaf!

Now to give credit where credit is due, Hubs took Gator to Rouses and footed the bill. But Gator was the mastermind behind it all!

I am blessed!

Circus

*If you haven't already, scroll down and see the previous two posts. Lots of pictures posted on those as well!*

We went to the circus last night with some good friends of ours!

One (who will remain nameless) confessed that she wanted to join the circus and ride the elephants. And she could totally pull it off too!

The kids were fascinated by the trapeze artists yet again. They love the "people that swing." And of course the elephants were a big hit. Funnel cakes, popcorn and cotton candy were favorites as well.

This past weekend...

*Be sure to scroll down and see my last post...more pictures there. I've got a lot of catching up to do! Also, I added new links (to the left) if you have nothing to do or need an excuse to not do something.*

What a great weekend! Friday, we prepared all day for the garage sale on Saturday. So, we went out to dinner at Olive Garden. I had minestrone soup and salad. Yum!

Saturday morning, I was up very early to help with the garage sale before the soccer game. The soccer game - Gator scored 5 goals, y'all. Seriously. FIVE goals. In SIXTEEN minutes of play. Ahem. Here are two of them:



Then we went back to the garage sale and off loaded some goods in return for some serious loot! Also, we found out that we received a scholarship that we weren't expecting! Woo hoo!

And finally, my Gators rocked on Saturday night. And I live in Southeast Louisiana, an hour from Baton Rouge.

A sidenote: we got pranked on Friday night sometime. There was a "Geaux Tigers" magnet strategically placed on the tailgate of the truck. Sneaky Byron (worship leader at our church). Fortunately, when loading the last of the goods for the garage sale, we found it before the truck left the driveway. That garage sale saved us some serious blasphemy! :-)

Sunday morning was wonderful. The Lord, with the help of some awesome nursery workers and a Veggie Tales video calmed my boy's spirit enough that I got to attend the entire service - something I haven't been able to do in four weeks. I was so thankful. And tonight we went to the circus (check back tomorrow for those pictures).

Whew!

That's how I feel after the last couple of weeks! We have been extremely busy, but in the good way! Here's an update in pictures since it would take forever to write all that we've been doing!

Family day a couple weekends ago: played soccer at the park and beignets (ben -yays).









Tricks in the yard and sweet dirty hands:

Another amazing opportunity

Christmas shopping? Already? Yep! Go ahead and get it out of the way here. Hannah is raising support for her two year stint with Africa Inland Mission. All proceeds from the sale of her jewelry will go toward her fundraising. Her designs are wonderful, so go check it out!
