Strawberry Pickin....

Aden and I spent Mother's Day together picking strawberries... It was so much fun, and in just the smallest kind of outing reminded how much of a joy it is to be his mother! I truely enjoy being Aden's mother EVERY DAY, at some point each day I look at him, and still can't beileve that God chose me to Mother him. He is such a joy, and I can count on a kiss, a hug, an I Love You, and a good laugh every day! Here are some pictures of our trip!

It's HOT in VA Beach...

So we played with water guns....




Got water from the spicket...



ate Popsicles...




performed tricks....






Sunbathed....



And tried to keep cool...

Happy Mother's Day!!!

My Star....

In my book, this is a STAR... in every aspect! Of course he's not perfect, and I'm not delusional enough to believe that he is, BUT, he's an honor roll student, extremely mannerly, cares so much about others, and most importantly he love's the Lord and is not ashamed to tell anyone who will listen about Jesus...

BUT.. he is also my baseball star......

"I'm Prissy Cat".......

Is what Aden said when questioned about what he was doing crawling around on the floor by her food dish.. LOVLEY!! I didn't realize that he ACTUALLY had a morsel of cat food in his mouth until I downloaded the picture and saw it on the computer screen!!! He DEFINATELY takes after Uncle Ross, who as a toddler used to be found crouched down at my Fluffy's dish chomping away at the dry pellets of nastiness.... I guess it run's in the family

I slept late this morning.....

I didn't get to wash my hair before work....

I was irritable all day......

I made my naughty children do push ups......

I fussed at (then apologized to Aden.........

ALL BECAUSE I WENT TO BED LATE LAST NIGHT..

Why you ask.......




All to root my TARHEELS to a NCAA Championship!!!!!!

GO TARHEELS!!!!

I may live in VA, but I will always be a Carolina Girl at heart!

Just to Prove you Wrong ROSS!!!

So Baseball season is in full swing.. AHHH my favorite time of year!! It's just something about being outside all day, lots of people to talk to, a different game going on every direction you turn, screaming fans, smells of fattening food from the concession stand, for us, it's just a family favorite!!! Now if we could just get the rain to cease so we can actually PLAY BALL!!!

We have had one game so far, in which we won one to nothing!! My boy did GREAT, getting a force out at first base, he's just got to get used to how fast that ball comes from the pitching machine (it's quite an adjustment from Daddy pitching)! Anyway, I am our teams official score keeper, so I was not able to get any pictures of the game (I'll try to get a few this week)... so I'll just give you this one from last season until then..

Showcasing..... Pennmanship of a six year old.....

You got to see it to believe it..... yes, my six year old has better cursive that I do (WAY BETTER) but he also has a better CURSIVE TEACHER than I did!! Aden, in my opinion has the BEST teacher EVER!!! I could go on and on about how wonderful she is, and how much I appreciate the way that she teaches my son, not only reading, WRITING, and arithmatic, but also, LOVE, DISCIPLINE, WORKING AS FOR GOD, and other issues concering the heart! I could not ask for a better person for my son to spend his day with (if not me) and I am sooo thankful that we have been blessed beyond measure in this way.

Mrs. D-B is a stickler in all subjects, but close to her heart is pennmanship! Therefore, my son has gone from knowing NO cursive to this...



in five months flat.....

And if the students misbehave, what do you think the punishment is?????



MORE PENNMANSHIP PRACTICE!!!!!

I'm still here....

It was just a VERY busy weekend (getting ready for base ball season). I will try my hardest to post tomorrow!!!!

Down By the Sea...

Ok, so it's really just a poluted pond by our house, but it does have fish, ducks and turtles!!! Here is how we spent our Monday morning out of school!!!

Ain't nothin better than a Sunday Night Pillow Fight!!!!!

I'm not really sure who won though!!!!
