Dear Tooth Fairy...

The tooth is finally out!!

Kade's top front tooth has been loose...very loose...for a few days. We tried and tried to get him to pull it, or let Brooke pull it, but he would not. Today when I got home he couldn't wait to show me, only he tried to fool me first. He said he swallowed it, which I believed because it was that loose. What really happened was his teacher made him go to the school nurse and she pulled it. So it is now tucked tightly under his pillow for the tooth fairy to come and get.

See it hanging (this was on Sunday)Loving that cute toothless smile

Another State Title

Way to go Lady Cardinals & Cardinals!!!!!
This weekend our girls & boys brought home our 4th & 5th state titles of the 2010/2011 school year. For a high school of approximately 75 students, I'd say it's been an amazing year. The Lady Cards brought home the title in Cross Country for the 4th year in the row (Katelynn was a part of that team), then the boys brought home the title in Football, next the ladies won the first state title in school history in track, and yesterday both the Lady Cardinals & Cardinals brought home the state title in softball & baseball.
Katelynn is the 1st baseman and had a great season.
Way to go, we are so proud of you!!!!

Mother's Day

Today was spent with wonderful women we dearly love. . . .We started the day at early mass with both our moms there, then we had lunch at my parent's and supper at Brian's parent's.
Yesterday the boys treated us to lunch and ice cream, then we went to the nursery and got flowers and veggie plants for the garden. We then went home and planted the garden and potted the flowers.

We even had some help planting the garden

A Sure God

“If we are not faithful, he will still be faithful, because he cannot be false to himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13

Our moods may shift, but God’s doesn’t. Our minds may change, but God’s doesn’t. Our devotion may falter, but God’s never does. Even if we are faithless, He is faithful, for He cannot betray himself. He is a sure God.

From Max Lucado Daily: Everyday Blessings

I needed this reminder today

Family Snapshots

This weekend we had the memorial service for NaNa - Brian's grandmother - she was a very special lady . . . a rare jewel . . . we love her so much and will miss her . . . but we know that we have another angel looking down from heaven.
Brian's older brother, Chris came down for the services so we took the opportunity to take some family snapshots.
