Happy Birthday!

Many of you know that my family has a busy time in April with birthdays! I like to call it "Birthday week!"



  • Yesterday was my Mama's birthday and tomorrow is my Daddy's birthday. I am doing a post today to cover both and it is perfect that it is a day between both! God has blessed me with the best parents ever created. (Although, let's be honest, and I am shamelessly biased. Zach also happens to think that he was blessed with the best mother-in-law and father-in-law ever as well.) They have taught me so many things, and I know they aren't finished yet. They are the example of the parents I want Zach and I to be someday. I want us to always love our children unconditionally even when they color on the walls (like Suzanne) or cut their baby sister's curls off (Okay, that one was me.) They have never let me live in the assumption that life is all easy (even though my childhood pretty much was) and they have taught me to work hard for the things I want. They took me to church and founded their family on faith in Jesus. I can only pray and hope that our children will follow in the same footsteps as my siblings and I did when we all trusted Jesus to be our Savior and Lord. I am a product of my parents' labor.

I know they are proud of me and I know they know how much I am thankful for them and love them. But it never hurts to reiterate, does it? Mama and Daddy, I love you both and hope that each of your birthdays are your best ever.



Love, Your #1 (as in firstborn), blue-eyed, blonde haired, daughter. (And Zach, your favorite son-in-law!)

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
