FBC Family Olympics
This afternoon our church hosted an Olympics at the park. We had the luge (pushing each other on a dollie), the shot put (throwing a softball), the discus throw (throwing a frisbee), and hiking a football (not sure what Olympic sport this relates too). It was fun and fellowship with our friends!

Memorial Day Weekend...
What a weekend! We went camping again at Grapevine Lake and had a blast. Friday and Saturday nights we slept in a cabin with the Higgs family. Sunday night we share the RV (aka "the bus") with the Riveras. The Benges and Shifletts pitched tents. They are the real campers! There were 17 of us all together plus the extra visitors that came by to cookout with us. The Campbells and Dolezels came to fry fish and swim in the lake. Speaking of the lake - it was nasty!! The kids loved it though. There was a lot of mud and slime which the boys were very interested in. Michelle and David took the kids out on the 2 man boat while the rest of us relaxed in lawn chairs.
Jessie's favorite part of the weekend was roasting marshmallows. Grayson's favorite was fishing and swimming. I caught the first catch of the day on Jessie's rod - a Spongebob pole!! All the kids caught at least one fish. Kendall's favorite part was throwing the football w/ 2 NFL guys and 1 arena ball QB. He held his own and actually impressed Clint Dolezel. That's a pretty good compliment coming from the number 1 QB in arena ball history!! I enjoyed it all. Just being with friends, Kendall and the kids was exactly what I wanted this weekend.
Most of our time was spent around the picnic tables watching the kids run around with water guns and water balloons. And of course, there was no shortage of food. We had all the campground necessities - hot dogs, burgers, salads, chips, cookies and s'mores. The diet plan starts tomorrow!Happy Memorial Day, or as Jessie says "oreo day".

You're not going to my birthday party...
This is Jessie's famous line right now when she gets mad at me. I have been officially uninvited about 13 times now. I don't think she realizes that without me, there is no party! It was quite pitiful tonight when she said it as she was crying, holding her stuffed dog and cat, standing in the middle of the kitchen. Oh, the mind of a three year old!

Can I Get a Ride??
I let Grayson ride his bike home from school today while I walked behind him. Wilson Elementary doesn't seem so far when you drive in the car. But try to keep up with a 6 year old on a bike! Whew. I'm tired!

Genesis 1:1, 11 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yeilds seed, and the fruit tree that yeilds fruit according to its kind whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.
I traveled through East Texas today where I got to witness God's beauty along Interstate 20.

My Special Day...
I had a great time with the kids today. After church we went for a picnic in the park. We saw some friends there and all the boys ended up in the creek looking for frogs. Good thing we had a blanket for Grayson to wrap up in - the water was cold! Jessie didn't dare get wet, but she was sure interested in seeing what the "stinky boys" were doing. Afterward, we came home and I took a nap while Kendall played outside with the kids. Happy Mother's Day to me!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I hope every mom who reads this will have a wonderful mother's day with their kids. I know I will!
Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom,I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom,I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom,I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Last week we were fortunate enough to join our friends in Vegas for Marco's retirement party. We met a lot of people and had a great time. The weather was perfect for hanging out by the pool all day Friday. On Saturday we bowled in a charity fundraiser bowling tournament. I am a better bowler than I thought! And of course, Kendall was really good. He's good at every sport.

I Love Bon Jovi
I can't believe it has been 20 years since my last Bon Jovi concert. This was worth the wait though!
My Fifteen Minutes of Fame...
Don't you hate those people who tend to stalk the famous when they are out among the regular folks in a restaurant or store?? You know, with a camera, asking them to take pictures with them, etc...I hate that! Now, check out my pics below!

The Big Party!
Celebrating Kendall's mid life crisis with some of our closest friends last weekend was awesome! It was so good to see everyone and I really think everyone had a great time! We had dinner in the the private dining room at Daddy Jack's. Cupcakes were made by the wonderful Cindi Coss. I had buttons made for us all to wear that had picutres of Kendall from childhood up to now. Kendall said his favorite part of the party was the DVD of pictures I had made and played for everyone. I was really suprised since he usually doesn't go for my "cheesiness"! Our friends were so good to him. He got Mavs tickets, gift cards and funny cards! Not to mention the underwear that Earl and Cara gave him! A few of them also roasted him telling funny stories! Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate!
