so much to be thankful for this week..,

* for kaden showing care & concern for brock TWICE last night. he can be a good big brother!

* that we found & bought a home in tulsa to call home.

* getting very excited about moving & living/doing life with the other 3 couples we are starting the church with.

* for a good haircut by one of a wonderful sister-in-laws! (((thanks a million sherri)))

* for days like today where i don't have much to do but play with the boys.

* for God's faithfullness he shows me.

* for getting to sleep in an extra 30 minutes this morning... it makes a big difference!

now your turn... what are you thankful for?

worth more than $2...

every holiday i want a family pictures. the boys have different opinions & usually never are in the mood to smile, esp when the holiday falls on a sunday & they have been at church all morning. 

this past sunday was different (((thanks to my husband))) we took the pictures as soon as we got to church.

they were a little late to sunday school... i didn't care i wanted some good shots with my boys on mother's day.

AND we told them we would give the one who smiled the best ONE dollar! 

that's all it took! everybody was ALL smiles!!!

now i'm wondering why it took me five years to think of this great idea! haha

these pictures are well worth the $2 i forked over to each of them!

i need a nap!!!

i'm back!

worn out & tired to say is an understatement.

let me do a highlight of the past week/weekend for you - 

mondy - friday at boot camp which was 8:30 - 5. yuck! i felt like i was in school again but only this time they extended the hours. i did learn some things & it was nice to see my family.

get home friday night right in time for chad's grandma's birthday party.

i'm not sure what we were thinking earlier in the week when we called the newspaper & put an ad in it to have another garage sale. thank goodness this time we didn't have to set up. my wonderful in-laws let us keep everything up from the saturday before.

we started at 7am saturday (((we are crazy & worn out)))

by 11:30 kaden's soccer game was canceled & i called it quits. i was tired of being out in the cold & rain.

12:30 chad & i headed to tulsa to look at one apartment & one house.

we got them both!!!

the apartment we need for just two months because the house we bought will not be ready until july or after.

the apartment is fully furnished so we don't have to move all of our things twice (((thank you jesus)))

we are super excited now about moving to tulsa now that will have a place to call home!

sunday was mother's day. for the past 5 years this isn't a day that i really enjoy because its sunday which means chaos in the morning time. lunch is always rushed because chad is one of the youth pastor's leading the senior baccalaureate service so he has to be there by 2:30pm ((( why they do it on this day i don't know))) 

after our rushed lunch me & the boys went to get food for home groups.

no nap for any of us.

all this week - keeping my niece

wednesday night is senior night at ignite

friday & saturday - 3 graduations to go to (((woohoo!!!)))

sunday - honor the graduates & then party that night

its a fun but busy time of year. 

i guess i can always catch up on sleep later :)

mom's eat FREE!!!

i really don't have time to be writing this but i just couldn't not share with my friends this good deal...

at johnny carino's mom's eat a 3 course meal + a drink for FREE!!!

it end may 8th

to get this great deal all you have to do is buy one meal at regular price.

happy early mother's day to us!!!

some sad news...

headed to dallas, texas today for boot camp for the week.

this is put on by the assemblies of god to partner with church planters... to help us grow, learn, think through things that maybe we haven't thought about yet. its all day / everyday for the week. the boys are super pumped to see & play with their grammy & pops & their cousins this week. the sad news: no blogging this week since i will have school & homework each day / night. so don't write too much on your blog this week so i don't have that much to catch up on this weekend! ((haha)) have a great week everyone!!!

love/hate relationship...

***yard sales is what i'm talking about***

we had one today... in the pouring rain

when i woke up at seven am this morning & heard the rain i was just a little excited, thinking the yard sale would be canceled.

i was wrong.

what i hate about yard sales:
- pricing all the items
- the time it takes to get ready for one
- how the boys walk by the table of "junk" grabbing something saying "i want to keep this forever"
- the rain
- the cold
- i'm horrible at math so added, giving back change... its just too much for my little brain

what i LOVE about yard sales:
- decluttering of all the rooms inside the house
- the $$$ i make
- when the sun is shining & i can get some sun (not the case today)
- all the different people i meet
- did i mention the $$$ i make in just a short few hours

we made over $300 dollars in just a short 4 hours.

i would say well worth it... even if i was cold the whole time!
