Current...but random thoughts (and pics) from my wandering mind...

I have a couple posts that need to get organized and put together. They are in my head...just haven't made their way to our blog just yet.  In the meantime...I wanted to leave everyone with a few tid-bits of info.  Random things I've been wanting to share but haven't...along with some pictures too!!

First...Pap..who I discussed here and also here....is CANCER FREE!!  Praise God for wonderful news and the absolute amazingness that this means!  We are so blessed!!

Second...this little man joined me for church yesterday.  Just me and him.  I haven't posted a Remember Always about this little guy in quite some time.  But I'm working on a big one!  He just amazes me every single day. And he's getting so darn big. When did this happen?!?  I happen to think he looked particular handsome in his little-man shirt and shorts. And I snapped this picture. After church we stopped at Subway...where he picked a jug of chocolate milk and doritos out to eat.  And was such a good boy for me while we ordered and I made sodas. I think I will always remember this simple and precious time with my little boy as long as I live.

Also during baths this weekend...the boys thought it was particularly hilarious that I put on their Shark and Frog hooded-towels over my head and pretended to be just that. A shark and a frog.  I made quite the spectacle of myself and that made them laugh even more. Owen told me "No Mommy. No frog! Nooo.." And laughed till he had the hiccups.  Pretty much the 3 year old equivalent of your so silly Mom!!  I happen to think...as I did earlier in the day with Owen...that Cooper looked particularly adorable...in the frog getup.  So again...I snapped a picture!

Another thought...I'm super excited to celebrate Mother's Day this year!  This is usually the weekend we set aside to begin doing our yard purdy-ing up. I can't wait to fill my barrels and plan out our herb garden! This year I'm looking forward to relaxing with my 3 amazing men as usual.  Maybe a steak on the grill, a glass of wine, a few wagon rides around the yard...ahh. Is it Sunday yet?? I hope everyone is excited about the Mother's Day weekend ahead!

Also, I received this photo from Miss Peyton while traveling this past week.  It made her AJ's (Auntie J's) day :) Isn't she a doll face??

Finally...as I raise young ones and make choices on what I say about them to others...this recent post on a blog I frequent struck a chord with me.  If you have children, it's worth a read. It'll leave you thinking for sure!

Oh...and one last thing.  I have mentioned that I'm a pretty big Gavin DeGraw fan.  Well his new album Sweeter...it's working its way to be my favorite album of his!  This particular song is my current listen-on-repeat-till-you're-sick-of-it song! The video was fun also. Check it out :)
