every captive thought

James' Pre-K graduation was Wednesday and it was adorable!  I was so proud of my Jamesie.  FBC goes all out for their graduation complete with a ceremony, slide show, and reception following.  James and I took the same picture we took the first day of school.  I can't believe how much he's grown.  He looks so much older to me. Outside his classroom...first day of school and last day of school.  We are so proud of our big 5 year old!  James was the first one to walk in with his little partner.  So cute! Heaven help me and pass the tissues!     Saying the pledge.  Singing some of the most adorable songs you've ever heard.  Robby Barrett our minister of education and James' teacher Ms. Sherri. The reception was just lovely.  The teachers made little photo albums of all of the activities throughout the year as well as journals the children had kept and hand print art they made all year long.  Real treasures!  They also had little gift

Thursday at school, James had a Mother's Day Tea that I got to go to with him.  He had several goodies for me.  It was so sweet!           Today, I received even more hand-made treasures.  I love them!  These are the best kind of Mother's Day gifts!   While James was out shopping one day with Nana he picked out this card for me.  I love it because he chose it.  And it kind of makes me laugh. Of course I made the kids take pictures with me before we left for church...which made us late...which is my biggest pet peeve in all the world.   After church we went for a walk/bike ride to the park.  The downside...it was blowing about 200 miles per hour and was about 100 degrees outside.       Poor Jamesie! Look at those red cheeks!  Brad said it was like being in a hair dryer. But I got to snuggle down with these cuties before they went to bed.    What a blessing and privilege it is to be a Mommy to these three loves of my life.  I'm so gr

Happy Mother's Day Mommy!  I love you so much and I am so grateful for you.  Thank you for all that you do for me.  Thank you for the lovely example you are of a godly wife, mother, and woman.  Thank you for your love, graciousness, patience, understanding and support.  You are the perfect Mother and everything I strive to be.  I pray you are blessed beyond measure.  I love you and YAMS!

James and Jude decided they needed to plant flowers in their window boxes of the their playhouse.  James chose marigolds, Jude chose inpatiens. Sunday night James had a choir concert at church.  It was loooong.     I made the mistake of running errands to close to nap time.   I LOVE these three faces!!!!  My littles... Slumber party with Mommy.   That belly!!! All three babes reading. Katy Jane discovered cheese slices.  She's a fan.   My Super Jude! Today was such a beautiful day!
