Thankful Thursday

Friends

Can you ever have too many? I don't think so. I have been blessed with many wonderful girl friends. All of these women, each one unique, is also very beautiful to me. I was actually afraid at one point that I would lose my friends after becoming a Christian but was I ever wrong. I gain true friends and many of them. Thank You Lord.

An APB on God


A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous.
The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be confident that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved in some capacity. The parents were at their wit's end as to what to do about their sons' behavior.
The parents had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so they contacted him, and he agreed to give it his best shot. He asked to see the boys individually, so the eight-year-old was sent to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?"
Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?"
At that, the boy bolted from the room, ran directly home, and slammed himself in his closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and said, "What happened?"
The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!"

Thankful Thursday

Good Morning Everyone!

The rain is falling the temperature is around 50 degrees and it is a beautiful day. A great morning for a Thankful Thursday. "What am I thankful for?" you ask. I am thankful for my three beautiful children and my wonderful husband. Lately I have been noticing more than ever the gifts that they are to me and how blessed I am to be a part of their days. I am thankful that every day I get to give my girls a kiss before they leave for a big day of school and that I am here when they get home from school.

I am thankful that I get to cuddle and watch cartoons with Zach each morning. That I am able to play trains, pirates, race cars, army, golf and many other wonderful games.

I am thankful for the wonderful father that Brandon is to the kids. He is also a wonderful husband and my best friend.

I am reminded today that my cup runneth over and I have God to thank for every last drop!

The Big "9"!

Brooklyn turned 9 this past week. She gave me her last 8 year old kiss Friday night. Sidney says, "don't worry mom, I'll be 8 in a few months" but that doesn't seem to make me feel better. I can't believe how big she is getting but I am so proud of the little girl she is becoming. She is a great joy and a blessing all wrapped up in an energetic little package.

I had fun making Brooklyn's cake. She is getting too big for Barbie or Strawberry Shortcake so we went with a polka dot theme this year. I used fondant for the dots. I had never used it before so I wasn't sure what to expect. It turned out to be pretty easy to work with and I was pleased with how the cake turned out.
Brooklyn invited a few friends and we all went ice skating. The kids all had so much fun. Nobody (except me) got hurt so I considered it a success. Many of the girls had never skated before but they were running circles around me before the afternoon was over.

A big thanks goes out to Jan for helping us haul all of the rugrats to the rink. I think they had fun.
