Happy Anniversary!!

Today is my and Jamie's 12 year anniversary! I can hardly believe we have been married for so long. What a wonderful husband God has blessed me with! Happy Anniversary, Love!

Jill's End of the Year Party!!

Jill's last day of Mom's Day Out (MDO) was yesterday and she had a great day!! She had a WONDERFUL teacher, Mrs. Brenda, who we love very much and are going to miss greatly next year. I have tried, along with several other moms, to convince her to move up and teach four year olds next year! Unfortunately I haven't been able to convince her yet. After "school" ended we headed to a swim party at Jill's friend Avery's house. The kids had a blast!! Here are a couple of pics from the party.

Eli's Soccer Team

Eli is finishing up the spring soccer season and his team recently won first place in a tournament in Trussville. They were presented with their medals tonight! These are a couple of pictures from tonight.

Jill's End of the Year Program

Jill's end of the year program was today at Little Lamb's Mom's Day Out. She still has class tomorrow and Thursday but they had their program today. At first she was doing great - then she realized how many parents were there and she got a little nervous. She told me she didn't like singing for all those parents. I guess we were intimidating. She did a great job though! It is hard to believe this year is already over! Jill attended class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (8:30 - 12:30)this year but next year she will go Tues, Wed, and Thurs 8:30 - 2:00. Hopefully this will get her ready for the shock of Kindergarten - all day, every day! I remember shortly after Eli began kindergarten he asked, "Mommy, when is Mommy day now?" It was a really tough transition for him and Jill has been away from me even less than Eli was and Luke - well let's just say they will probably have to pry him off of me with a crowbar the first time I try to leave him. He is a Mommy's boy!! Here are a few pics from the program. Some are a little dark, sorry about that. Unfortunately, I didn't get to sit on the front row.

No Post But New Background!

Jamie told me that if I changed the background I had to do a post. Unfortunately it took me so long to figure out how to change the background that there isn't much time to post. I hope all of you Mom's had a wonderful Mother's Day. I know I did!! Good night all!

Happy Mothers Day!

A friend of mine sent this to me this year - Jamie sent it to me last year. It is GREAT!! Everything in this song I have said and remember my Mom saying them to me! Enjoy Moms!!

I am so proud to be their MOM!!

We're Going to Disney World!

I am not sure who is more excited, Jamie and I or the kiddos!! We were going to keep it a secret until the week before we go, however Jamie and I were so excited to tell them we just could not wait. Because this is their first time to go to Disney, we decided to make it special when we told Eli & Jill. We came up with a scavenger hunt and after their favorite dinner of lasagna - we gave them the first clue. The clues took them all around the house with their final clue leading them to a suitcase filled with Disney "stuff," mock plane tickets, and the final clue which read,

"There's Mickey, a princess, tickets and more...

What do you think we have in store?

Tell Mom and Dad, now tell them quick.

Keeping it a secret is making them sick!!!"

It took Eli a minute but he did figure it out. They were jumping around and shouting, "We're flying to Disney, we're flying to Disney!!" I'm not sure if they are more excited about flying or Disney but it was definitely the reaction I was hoping for! Here are a few pics of them looking for their clues and the reaction at the end.
