Want a Bug??

No, not an insect. My daughter.
She has drove me crazy this week.
I have never seen a child that could get into so much, in such a small amount of time.

This morning it started at 5:00am, when she decided to break into the kitchen cabinet and dump an entire box of pancake mix on the floor.
It is now 8:30 and she has dumped the money out of Anakin's piggy bank, unrolled an entire roll of paper towels, emptied the box of diapers all over the floor, unpacked the diaper bag, and ran down the hallway with a streamer of toilet paper flying behind her (still connected to the roll in the bathroom). It's going to be a long day.

So I ask again...does any one want my Bug??

April Showers...

Don't always bring May flowers. Sometimes April showers bring mud.
This was the topic of our devotion tonight, taught by Tina. She did an awesome job and I really got a lot out of it! This hit very close to my heart because I have had a rough year. It has been one bad thing on top of another. Many times I have just sat in the "mud" and cried. It takes a lot to tend to the garden of your heart while there is mud everywhere, but it must be done if you want to have a beautiful garden.
Thank you Tina for reminding me of this. You did a great job!! Love ya!

News

It is that time of year. Dirty fields, bleachers and the sound cheering crowds.
Anakin is playing baseball again this year. I might just be saying this because I am his mommy, but he is doing pretty good this year. He has a little more experience and a lot more confidence.
The only thing I don't like this year is his practice schedule. He has practice on Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:00 or 6:15. For those who go to our church, I am sure you can see why I don't like this schedule.

Elle turns 1 in 9 days...when did she grow up?? I will be weepy if I dwell on this any more, so moving on...

Jada and I are going to Florida in June! I have never been and I am beyond excited!! We have our hotel & flight booked. I have also never flown anywhere so that should be fun :)
We will start tanning soon, this will be the first time I have ever been in a tanning bed.
Noticing a pattern here?? This vacation has a lot of firsts for me.
I will miss Gabe and kids terribly but I really need this. And they probably could use a break from me :)
Overall, I am super happy and totally excited!!
