6 years of marriage

I have been married to my best friend for six years. I have been so blessed to have you in my life for the last 9 years and even more blessed to have been able to call you my husband for the last six. In this short time, we have experienced so much. We bought our first home and two vehicles, had two amazing kids, I started a new job, and we have taken a few amazing trips together. I have enjoyed this amazing journey with you and look forward to what the future holds for us.

Thanks for loving me. Thanks for wiping away my tears. Thanks for being an amazing dad. Thanks for dealing with my mood swings. Thanks for being a Godly leader in our home. Thanks for being my best friend. Thanks for working hard to provide for us. And finally, thanks for not getting upset at me when your friends tell you that I wrote an entire post about you. I love you so much!

Love these two

These two boys are so amazing. When I think back on the last four years, it amazes me how fast our lives have changed and how blessed we are.

Thank you Lord for giving us two strong willed and active children. Some days I wish they weren't so active but today I am thankful that they are healthy enough to be active. God is so great and our family is so blessed.

Halloween

Halloween was great fun this year. This year, I let Luke pick his own costume and tries to find something for Evan that might go along with Luke's costume. Luke decided to be a cowboy or as he says, "woody!" So I found a cute farmer costume for Evan. My boys were set to look amazing!! So I asked the babysitter to get them ready so I could run by moms, the neighbors, and grandma Fern's. When I arrived, she said Evan refused to wear costume. So we got to mom's and I tried his costume again but it was still a no go. When I got home, I tried again and still he wasn't having it. So we visited the neighbor, The Proctors, and Grandma Fern all without Evan being dressed. I will say that Luke wore his costume with pride. Finally, we went to church and all the kids were dressed so cute. Evans friend, Jesse was so precious as you can see in the below pictures. I was amazed that after we tricker treated, I finally was able to connivence Evan to put his costume on. After church, we visited The Daffron's. Even though it was a bit of a fight, it was so worth it so see both of my boys looking so cute.

Never a dull moment

In our lives, there is never a dull moment! All this week Evan has been sick. We went to doctor on Sunday and sadly he had not improved so we went to see our Doctor on Thursday. Now, it has been a week and for the most part, he is feeling better.

Just when I get one better Luke starts talking like his throat is hurting. Then, Jeff informed me that his throats hurting! Hopefully this mommy doesn't get sick because someone has got to take care of these boys!

Oh yes, this month is pastor appreciation. I had Luke create cards for Bro. Steve and Mrs. Judy. We even decided to mail them. This was the first time Luke had ever mailed anything and he loved it.

I will close with a funny. Nearly daily, Luke has to go to the bathroom while we are on the road. This time, I decided to catch a photo of this mess. He has mastered this process and proceeds to open door, stand in the doorway, and lets it rip! I can't even tell you how many times very nice people have stopped to check on us. I am glad there are still kind folks out there that are willing to lend a hand if ever I was in need! I am certain they don't want to help me with my usual cause of being on the side of the road ha!

Crazy

It has been another crazy week. On Wednesday, I headed to Little Rock. On the way, I received a picture of one of my favorite people, even if she was wearing a Texas longhorn shirt! Lesa and I worked very late and then got up early for meetings on Thursday. After a busy day of meetings, we rewarded ourselves with Japanese! Again, we worked late. During the day, I received a scary picture of my nephews head. Late that night, his mom took him to the hospital after not being comfortable with the answer she got at the doctors. Around 2 am, I had given up on her calling me with an update so I called. She said Keyton would be transferred to Children's. He was airlifted and I was so thankful that The Lord places me in the right place at the right time. Gladly, I can report that Keyton is going to be just fine and actually got to come home Friday evening. God is good!! While at the hospital, I received a cute picture of Luke and he claims he was dressed like a cowboy! Ha!

Well that's all I have, enjoy the pictures!

Random post

So I know this post and the pictures are very random but this is what I have been up to the last few days.

Luke got a new hair do! I found this precious sticky note on Facebook and wanted to share. I got to eat lunch with the cutest boy I know, we'll besides my own children. Finally, I was sent this crazy picture of my nephews head. It freaked me out. My SIL took him to doctor and he said to keep and eye on it and if there were changes go to ER. I told her I would go now and she did. As I type this, I am sitting at Children's hospital waiting on Air Evac to arrive with precious Keyton. Please send up prayers that the doctors will be able to provide healing for this precious angel. God is good in all things.

Fall, my favorite time of year!

I love all things fall: football, fall smells, leaves, weather, etc! Life has been so good and I just love taking time to relax and enjoy all things fall. We broke out a few decorations and if I were rich, I would decorate our entire house in fall decor! Luke has been doing several crafts. Below, you will see a pumpkin craft he put together.

I have finally ordered the kiddos their costumes. Luke is going to be a cowboy and Evan will be a farmer.

Well I am heading to bed soon but for now, it is back to football and post season baseball! Did I mention I love this time of year?

Before I go, just wanted to ask everyone to please lift Clay Maples, a teenager in our church who is fighting leukemia, up in prayers!
