Happy Birthday Turner!

Turner's birthday party was at Pump it Up! We had SO much fun and it made for an easy bedtime!!! Happy Birthday cute Turner!

Garner spends the night!

Garner became a big brother and we are so excited for him. He came and spent the night with us and had a big time playing on the Smart Cycle, playing board games, eating pizza, cupcakes, chicken nuggets ... you name it! He is such a sweet boy and we loved having him over!!

What do you do in a Tornado Warning?

Well, yesterday we had a tornado warning in the school. We all go to our places in the halls or lounge and begin the reassurance that everything will be okay to 4 and 5 year olds! There is one picture the school got where all the kids are sitting down, legs crossed, heads down except for one precious child smiling into the camera - full pose! Guess who? Huddy was posing for the picture! ha ha!!

As for my class - here is what they looked like!!! I was keeping it fun ... but are you ready for the best part of it all ... and anyone who has a child in my class is hating me for this I know - sorry! Well, I had gone over Spanish and sign language and we sang some songs ... then I remembered that I have songs on my phone. Now - to find one they would know ... well it comes to me - Jenny Woodruff (shout out!) can do the robot like no other ... so my ringtone for her is Mr. Roboto. Oh yes ... all 4 year olds were doing the robot to Mr. Roboto! Hysterical! Jenny, did you ever know the way that would trickle down the lines!

So sorry!

Okay ... I'm loving that so many people read the blog. I did not realize it until I took a break from posting and got in trouble! ha ha. SO FUN! As many people know, it's been kind of crazy time for me right now ... so I'm not even going to go back and post. Let's see - what you have missed - some crazy times, a few playdates, a spend the night party, a birthday party or two, some New Year's stuff, a trip to the farm, crazy times again, etc. etc. I'll just start fresh now! I must say though ... I have already seen some of God's power this year thru me, his promises, his signs and through friends and family. How lucky we are to have such an all knowing God. Here is my point to ponder for the week. We are supposed to be Christ-like. So ... he forgives ... when? Right then. And if you do it over and over and ask for forgiveness, you keep getting it. So why is it so hard for us to do that? Understanding that it does go back to the Garden of Eden ... trust was broken and mankind fell apart. So how do we learn to trust? Our God is wrathful ... does that mean we can be too? (ha ha! just kidding.) It's just amazing to see such perfection and purness in this person that we are to mirror our lives like. AND ... we eventually get that in Heaven?! How fun is that!? Wish I was closer to being Christ-like now though - it's a work in progress! :)
