100th POST!!! My Trip to Pennsylvania to see my Parents

It is only fitting that this is my 100th blog post!!! Blogging has been quite an adventure and so was my PA trip!

On April 26th I set off on a great adventure! My sweet Husband sent me to PA to see my Parents. Below is a slide show from my trip. To view hover over the pic with your mouse and use the over arrow to go to the next picture. That way it won't rush you through!

A lost tooth and new glasses!!

Gideon lost his first tooth April 21st! He's 5 years and 7 months old.

His toothless excitement could not be contained!


The next morning he found $2 under his pillow!

He also got his new glasses! His first rimless Silhouettes! That's my boy!


I'm afraid he's growing up. I'm a little sad, but a lot thankful. My Gideon is a precious gift from God.

Picture Day at Preschool and Rounding out Rodney's Birthday

Yesterday was picture day at school. Here are my two handsome fellows all slicked and ready to go.


We tend to celebrate Birthdays for a week around here! Not every moment of the week, of course, but with different things all week long. Since Rodney is just now feeling a little better we decided to catch a ball game. Here we are in the parking lot!


Heading on into the stadium.


In the upper deck ready to see some Charlotte Knight's action at their Opening Night.


Notice Gabe is about to pop a peanut in his mouth....WITH THE SHELL ON! He did learn to shell them after this.


The weather was perfect!


The company was comical,


and cute.








This child finished his whole cotton candy.





Carousel ride.... last ride of the night... we rode free! They are all sweaty from doing the giant blow up slide so many times!


Homer and Carolina signed programs for us!








Rodney's birthday has now been officially celebrated! What a great night of fun!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Husband!!

It's been a crazy time around our house lately. Friday, March 26th we had a bike accident. We were all riding at the church when Gideon rode right across Rodney's path. Of course, rather than run over Gideon, Rodney slammed on all the breaks on his bike. He went airborne with his feet above his head. Landing on his left arm, all he could say was, "Why did he do that????"

So here we are that day in the E.R. waiting for the pain meds to kick in and the X-ray results. No broken bones! We praised the Lord!

Monday they called us to tell us that yes, there was a fracture. Still praising the Lord though. It could have been much worse.



So, here's the birthday boy in his arm sling with his ice cream cake. April 5, 2010 was a memorable Birthday thanks to our Gideon and his bad biking skills! Happy 34th Dear!!!!




The boys just love some candle blowing and some birthday song singing. Here's a little clip.

Preschool Papers

These are some of the papers that came home today with my Preschoolers!

Gabe is working hard on writing his name. You can see Gabe's exact age at the bottom of my blog. At the time of this post he is 3 years, 6 months, 2 weeks and 2 days old!

Gideon made this today. He said, "This is you, Mama." ( I love how my sweet Southern Boy calls me Mama.) I think this is his best work yet! Gideon is 5 years, 5 months, 1 week and 4 days old!

...... so blessed.

Enjoying February

This came home from school with my Gideon last week! Prepare yourself before you scroll down, it's SCARY!






Are you sure you can handle it???






It is REALLY Scary!






Ok. If you are sure you are ready.

We had an amazing snow day!! We had plenty of the white, powdery stuff to make 2 snow Clements'.

Yes, that's broccoli, mini carrots and dog food!!!

Valentine's Day was great! The guys really liked their legos from Daddy and their home-made tractor from Mommy.

This was taken today at Women On Mission Sunday!

What a lovely February so far!

Volunteering!

We're going to volunteer a day to get a day at Disney Free!! Wheeee! The Southern Baptist Convention is in Orlando this year so if we plan ahead we can go to Disney for free!! We are all signed up!

Crafting with the Guys

Good Grief! Is it really Valentine's Day already?? Where has the year gone!!

The Guys and I did a little crafting today. (forgive the juice beard, mustaches are just not enough for this little guy)

Both of my Guys are in school classes filled with pretty little girls. So, we made flowers.

This sweet, juice mustached, fellow made this paper likeness of me. Rosy cheeks and short arms... hmmm could be worse.

We got the idea from Family Fun Magazine.

When crafting with 3 and 5 year old boys remember: there will be as much mess under the table as their is ON it, it will take 3 times longer than planned, and they will get off task and you will have to complete it yourself.

Great Memories and lots of fun!

A Day in the Life: Gideon

Gideon tells me all about what he did in preschool on Tuesday.



I'm going to miss these preschool days.
