Happy Birthday to Me!

Oh man, I feel old! Today I am

27

Yikes....only 3 more years until the big 3-0!

These are my flowers that my wonderful hubby and kids had delivered to me at work....

yes, I had to work on my birthday.

Tonight we have plans to go to dinner and out dancing afterwards with some of our great friends.

There's several of us that are celebrating birthdays within the next few days.

I have a babysitter for the kids, and I get to sleep in tomorrow!! Woo-Hoo!!



                

It's POTTY time!!!

Nothing too exciting has happened in my busy life lately.

Ok...I'm back-tracking..

Yesterday, I went to the hospital to visit with Loni.

She is recovering in the ICU and has been taken off of the ventilator...Woo Hoo!!!

I knew that she would be a fighter and get through it, and she has. Today is her 27th Birthday. I plan on going to visit with her at the hospital this afternoon after work. I can't wait to see her smiling face.

I'm so HAPPY that she's better!!

This past weekend was Father's Day. I had a great day with the men in my family, as well as the girls.

We went to church with my dad, followed by steak dinner at my Ma and Pa's house, then swimming by the pool all day. Jesse and my dad both enjoyed their special day. They got to watch the Golf Championship and see the winning putt!

We LOVE Adventures....Adventure Landing that is!

Saturday afternoon was spent celebrating Haley's 6th Birthday at Shipwreck Island Waterpark. We had such a good time! I knew that Macy would love it, but I was weary about Jacob. He had a blast!

He went down the waterslides like such a big boy! He is growing up way too fast!
And.....
It's POTTY time!!

Oh and I forgot...Sunday Jacob decided that he was ready to potty train......We are on our way! He has had a few accidents, but he is learning, which is a plus!

Yay for Jake!! I am so happy that he is finally willing to use the big boy potty.

I went and bought him his "Big boy" underwear with Mickey Mouse on them.

I hope I don't lose my mind while training! Pray for me!

Not having such a great week

This week has been a sad one...

My dear friend Loni was admitted to the hospital last Friday, recently moved to the ICU. She is fighting hard. She has a rare syndrome due to some complications to medication. She is such a sweet person and means a lot to me as well as our other Co-workers.

It saddens me that I know how bad she wants a baby and is having to go through so much just to have one.

She is going to pull through this a become a wonderful Mommy one day soon!

I love you Loni and you have to be strong and pull through this!

You are such a fighter.....

My prayers are with you as well as you're in many others too!

I love you Loni!!

Oh how I love family time!!

This MEMORIAL DAY weekend was spent at one of my favorite places.....

the mountains of North Carolina at my family's homes.

This is a photo of Dad and I at their mountain home on Memorial Day.

The day was spent grilling hamburgers and hotdogs, blowing bubbles, playing in the mountain stream, spending time with family, and just having fun enjoying the beautiful mountain air. I have so many cherished memories over my most gracious

6 day vacation!

Spending time with family is one of my happiest times during life. Like the saying,

"You were born surrounded by family and you leave this life surrounded by family."

They are the most important!

P.S. - I will post more photos and edit this blog later tonight!!!
