I know, I know, 16 months is not really a "milestone" Birthday, but today is the day I declare that Shelby can walk!! Yippeee. It's official. She actually prefers to walk rather than crawl. It's amazing what can happen in just a week. My poor mom had been working with Shelby all winter, and as soon as she leaves for Fish Camp, it happens. :) Ty keeps yelling at me, "Mama, mama, Shelby is walking!". Hurry home daddy......she wants to show you her stuff.
Goodness...I've just been to busy with many of my favorite people to take time to type all of my thoughts and happenings out. March & April have brought so many wonderful times and I'm so thankful that my love tank is so full.
Beginning in March, we had the honor of celebrating Grandpa Bunn on his 90th Birthday! I hope that is a reflection of Jasons life span! Great party Bunns. Carli and I then headed to Kingsburg to kick off a great two weeks in Shaila's life with her Bridal Shower. What a gorgeous day the Lord gave us. It was filled with lots of yummy food and laughter to burn some of it off!
April was kicked off by our annual camping trip with my side of the family. We headed for Morro Bay this year. Great weather and great company. We had so much fun, but came home and put the trailer up for sale!! No reflection on our company, just too much work right now. Gees, can someone just head me towards a resort in the future! I'm not ashamed of it, either. LOL. We just really enjoy great pools and someone else cleaning up. Anyone in a market for a trailer??!
A few days after we got back one of my best friends, Jenni, flew in from Austin with her two girls to kick off the wedding events! We all headed towards Kingsburg and began our duties of cooking, cleaning, decorating, and relishing in the blessings of friendships that have been through a lot, but will always be steadfast. So much laughter and singing. Thanks girls for the memories and congratulations Shaila Brandon! A true testament to Gods Faithfulness and love for His children.
We enjoyed a fabulous Easter with a great service, then a wonderful relaxing day. It was my Birthday too, which made it doubly special. Jenni, Carli, Nana, my Mom, and all are kids went to the park to play and decorate and hide eggs with the kids. My bffs surprised me with a yummy chocolate cake! After eating cake :), my family went to have a wonderful steak dinner prepared by my mom. What a sweet ending to a day.
We are now getting set to start T-Ball on Saturday with Tyler and winding down the year of MOPS. Many fun times to be had. I must add, I feel so blessed, even more than normal, for the teaching of the Word lately at church. It is such an awesome thing to anxiously await every weekend to learn more and more about God. What an awesome place He has put Jason and I.
Well......Jason and I thought it was about time to introduce the NEW member of the family:
Jason's mid-life crisis, a 1965 Chevy Cheville. Just kidding about the mid-life crisis, he said I could say it. Ha, ha! He has always wanted a muscle car and finally made his dream come true this past week. He found it on Ebay, Ty and him went to San Francisco to see it, then he and I took a weekend away and went to get it. Last Sunday we drove it down Highway 1. We had so much fun! It's so fun to see him having a ball with it. Ty's pretty into it too. You can call or email him for more info, but we wanted to at least introduce it. :)
Just thought I would write all these conflicting feelings I have. Isn't it true once you write things down you feel much more rational about your decisions? You know, doing pros & cons? Anyway, I've been struggling inside for the past few weeks about what to do regarding Tyler's schooling next year. I just want to make sure that our decisions are based on him and not based upon anything selfish. Meaning wanting him with me more or maybe wanting more time free. It could go both ways.
There are so many options and with having the privilege of Co-leading MOPS next year I know my time will be much more stretched. Hence, now begins my life of choosing between all the activities that face us as our kids get bigger.
So far, the only answer I have come up with is, "God will reveal it to me". So, I'm going to devote my time in the word and in prayer and look for any signs of answers.
Ok, I feel a little better now that it written. Sorry for the rambling. :)
Ok....I know, I know....it's crazy, but this is how we play in the snow in our town. How do you guys do it?? LOL. Actually, it was kind of ideal. Walk a block or so, play in the snow but don't get too cold, and then walk home. I know you are all jealous! hee-hee
Hi All! Our health is finally returning to us and we are beginning our normal routines around here. This is just a short little post, but I had to share two things Ty said today that just gave me an extra reason to smile.
We decided to go for walk at a time where it was sunny, but a few rain clouds were hanging around. About 3/4 of the way it started sprinkling, then raining, then hailing! I was running and pushing the stroller, Ty was riding on his bike as fast as he could, poor Jason had to walk so he didn't pull his stitches open. Poor guy. We were drenched. When we got in the garage Ty peered up at me with this questionable face, "Mama, why is their ice falling on me?". That started a fun little discussion.
Jason and I have really been trying to implement more fresh foods into all of our diets. So, I bought celery the other day. Well, at lunch today I gave Ty some with Peanut Butter in it. He loved it, to my surprise. Well, as I tucked him in tonight I began our nightly prayer. He quickly interrupted me to say, "Mama, what was that green stuff we ate today? Celery Ty. Oh ya, God thanks for the celry (that's how he says it) and peanut butter today". Oh how I wish I could remember to thank God for the simple things in life too.
