These little piglets were less than a week old. They were so cute and SO afraid of all the kiddos.

This is what Isaac looked like before......

.......and after. I can't even take 2 minutes to go to the bathroom and he is in trouble!

Of course it wasn't all fun!

Days 43- 49 (Project 365)

Day #43 (Sunday)

Was spent having lunch with good friends, hiking in the foothills of Yuma, Arizona, with my hubby & just relaxing in general.
This is 1/2 way up to the top!

I think that this is the only picture I haven't posted from lunch yet. This is Rene and I. We met in Jacksonville, NC, where we discovered that we were born and raised only 45 minutes from one another.

Day #44 (Monday)

I spent the large majority of the day enjoying my hubby before I had to leave to come home to NC. I also got to have lunch with my friends, Erin and Claire.
Day #45 (Tuesday)
I traveled on a red eye flight for over 12 hours to get into NC at about 0830. I was understandably exhausted after only 1.5 hours of sleep but I played with my new camera for a bit while updating my parents on the trip.

Day #46 (Wednesday)

My parents left for PA today.

The Kids had school pictures.

We built legos all afternoon!

Oh and Isaac wasn't happy not getting his own way but that is just every day!

Day #47 (Thursday)

A glorious day at ladies bible study.

A new purchase from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. (Storage and foot rests! Who can beat that?)

Day #48 (Friday)

We skipped Friday night fellowship. :-(

We had a great time celebrating Baylen's 3rd birthday!

Day #49 (Saturday)

Not only did I get to hear Beth Moore speak & spend the day with my friends....

I got to see Brodi (my friend Kelly's oldest son) get baptized during service. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes......

Days 36- 42 (365 day Project)

Ok,ok so this is a week late....I was visiting my hubby so I hope you forgive a girl for being tardy!

Day #36 (Sunday)

I spent the morning joyfully serving at the nursery desk at church. I love helping & of course love children so it is a great passion of mine. If the day had ended here it would have been perfect! Instead, I had to take the Burb into Sears for a simple oil change and battery replacement. It ended up being a nightmare 2.5 hours (instead of the 45 minutes promised) with a little boy that was 2 hours past naptime & a little girl who doesn't understand that we don't need to buy every beautiful thing in the store.

Day #37 (Monday)

Kendall and I had a "mommy/daughter" date at the park after school before we picked up her little brother. I think that these are especially important with daddy being gone right now.

Day #38 (Tuesday)

MOPS today. We had a guest speaker on friendship. Let me just say that I am so thankful for my friends!

Before going to MOPS, I stopped at the little river walk beside New River to shoot a few shots of the kiddos.

New River

Day #39 (Wednesday)

Kendall made this drawing in MOPS on Tuesday. I relented and hung the life size tracing of her on one of our walls for a little bit. She giggles every time she walks past it.

Day #40 (Thursday)

Our first day of our new ladies bible study. Janet and Nicole put these cute plants in each of our rooms with a very nice card. It is so not necessary but such a blessing to have something fun to greet you!

Day #41 (Friday)

Before I left for the airport....I wanted to have a fresh picture for daddy when I hit the ground in Yuma.

Day #42 (Saturday)

Although we got to see each other A LOT more than I thought we would, Ben still had to work while I visited Yuma.

Here he is before going in to work.....

I promised not to post this because he was taking a silly super hero photo for the kids but it was too good not to share!
