A Carter Funny

After the kids and I had dinner (Joseph is out of town, big surprise :)they came into my room and started wrestling on the floor. I told Carter to be careful with her (which I say about 100 times a day) and that I wish they would just play instead of wrestle. He then said "Well mom, you shouldn't have gotten 2 kids, because they will want to wrestle."
Last night while I was making dinner, the kids were playing in the den and I heard Carter tell Bentley she was going to be in trouble, so I immediately think great, what now. Carter ran in the kitchen and said, "You will never believe this mommy, Bentley said she cheers for "Aubren" He is so funny and keeps me laughing.

Long Overdue VBS Post

This is my favorite picture taken from the WONDERFUL week of VBS. Marsha and I were directors again this year which means ALOT of work, but ALOT MORE rewards ;)We had an average of over 1200 people at VBS each day. Over 850 elementary students registered. About 79 little angels made a decision to accept Jesus into their hearts! These amazing kids scraped couch cushions, asked neighbors and brought in piggy banks to send over $2600 to missionaries in Africa. A 2nd grader was able to collect boxes of toothpaste, toothbrushes and sugarless gum for children in Africa. I cant think of a better way to spend my time and efforts than VBS. I LOVE IT!!! Six adults were saved as well!!!! We have a church FULL of unselfish people who take a week off of work or time out of their busy schedules to make all of this happen. Thank you to everyone who helped and especially to Jenny and Marsha; I can't imagine doing it without you two.

Alabama Adventure

Yesterday Carter and I went to Alabama Adventure with Brady and Ashley. We had a great time and really enjoyed their company. We both bought season passes, so we plan on going quite a few times this summer.

Rain, Rain GO AWAY!!

We have had so much rain here. I promise it has rained everyday for about a month. I know since Carter's b-day because he has hardly been able to jump on his new trampoline. We haven't been up to much. Monday Kim and Kristin and their families came over and we cooked out and it was YUMMY! There was too much going on so I forgot to take pictures :( Today we went to the McWane Center then had lunch with Joseph. My mom offered to keep the kids tonight so Joseph and I can go out to eat...Thank You Nonna :)

May Beach Trip

We came back a day early from the beach. The first couple of days were nice, but WINDY! By the way, Bentley HATES the wind. She cried and latched on as tight as she could everytime it blew. This was the first time we have ever been in May. It was not crowded until last night and the temperature was great, however, it was windy and the water was COLD. We stayed at Splash in PCB and it was nice. They have a covered water play area for the kids. It's neat because you are out of the weather, but that water was freezing and the kids were a little young for it. Carter would have done more, but it dumps a huge bucket of water every minute and soaks you and he did not like that. We ate good food and of course could not leave without eating at Captain Anderson's, so good. I forgot how expensive it is. It was $100 for us to eat, but worth it :) Carter LOVED every second of it. Bentley was a 1 year old at the beach, so what do you expect...LOL! I enjoyed spending some quality time with my family. They bring so much joy to me and I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed watching Carter have so much fun. My sister-in-law and I are taking the kids back in August while Joseph is in Brazil on his mission trip, so hopefully we will have better weather then.

Not too sure about the Water Bucket


Dancing at Ron Jon's


Still Dancing


My Handsome Man


We found this shovel buried in the sand and he said can I keep it and I said sure...LOL


Beautiful Sunset


I kept calling Bentley a G-ma, because she did not want to take the hood of her cover-up off, because the wind was blowing


Here's the bucket


Here is what it did every minute


Playing in the sand at Pier Park


Carter and I played on the beach while Joseph and Bentley napped


Me and my angels


Daddy and his babies (this shot of Bentley is much more typical of her attitude when I am not holding her)


Bentley's idea of putt-putt - just pick it up and put it in the hole


Carter LOVED it


His favorite thing he did


A Windy Day at the Beach


His face crcaks me up in this pic. The bucket was dumping the water and he did not want to get wet...LOL


This sweet face melts my heart


She finally decided to leave my lap, but only for a minute


I love these two more than anything


I swear this boy is going to be a Garbage Man when he grows up. He is OBSESSED with them. this was the highlight of his day; throwing the trash in the dumpster before we left.


They were so good in the car and decided to hold hands...SWEET

Last Game

T-ball is over for Carter :( He really enjoyed it and I REALLY enjoyed watching him. He had a big crowd there to watch his last game. They had one today, but since we were at the beach he didn't play. They were suppose to have their party afterwards, but since it has done nothing but rain, I don't know if they did or not.

Happy Anniversary

Joseph and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary today. We have been together for 11 years, it doesn't seem possible. We went out Friday night, so we just stayed home with the kids. He did suprise me with a watch that I have been wanting. I asked him what he had done, since he gave me 2 diamond gifts within a week...LOL! He is a wonderful husband and a great dad and I am so blessed that God sent me such a Christian man to set a wonderful example for myself and our children. I love you very much Joseph!!
