A Martin Minute

We took a FABULOUS trip to Disney World! What a fun surprise - I will write more this weekend when I figure out normal life again =)

The top picture is at sweet, cute cousins dedication & the 2nd pic is of Bay & sweet, cute cousin in the cousins nativity as Mary & Baby Jesus. Had to share these sweeties =)

Well - we built it & they came - in jerseys & tennis shoes. SuperDaddy managed to put together the perfect boy birthday party & take our AU obsession to a whole new level. (Bet you didn't think that could happen) We now have a AU football field painted in the backyard. Personally, I think every boy needs one - you all have permission to send your boys (or girls) over any day to play. We even have goal post! What else do you need for a 6 year old boy party? An AU cake & gatorade & you are set.

Do you take notes during the Sunday sermon? I think it helps me to focus (& not use the quiet time to figure out the weeks menu, b/c I try not to waste quiet moments). I really love to write down points that jump out at me. I remember Rev. Hay saying that Daniel was "careful to be God's man in the place where God put him." Wow! what a great thing to hear before you leave for college. Today we had the honor of witnessing the dedication of my niece & nephew at my sister's church. I was purely in the congregation - I was not on staff with the Children's Ministry - so I could TOTALLY listen. Their pastor said that someone said of John Bunyan (author of "Pilgrim's Progress") that if you cut him he would bleed Scripture. Wow, what an honor if someone were to say that about me or one of my kiddos. I think I will put that on a plaque in the boys room or tape it to the all popular band-aid box. Am I saturated in Scripture? What would I bleed? I feel l

That is right today WFM5 is turning the big 6! Yep, we are in kindergarten & learning to read. We are LOVIN' sports & about to start baseball. He has a sweet tooth like his Moppy & Mommy & loves to sneak his mommas coke. He is destined to be a class-clown & thankfully his kindergarten teacher said he would be a smart one. He is the fastest kid in 5K (according to muliple sources). He is realizing that next year he will go to school with big sister & is getting excited! He has a compassionate heart & sweet spirit. He loves his little baby cousin & it is good for this momma to see him helping & showing kindness. His favorite thing to do may be playing a joke on his momma - seriously, everyday! I taught him to play H-O-R-S-E & I am learning to keep up in LEGOS. I love you WFM5! Thank you for keeping me on my toes & laughing. Thank you for the way you love your family & friends. After God, I will always be your biggest fan! Go Cinco! Love

. . . Margaritas AND Cape Cods! Yes once in a blue moon I have a "mommy drink." AND they had my 2 favorites (not that I know many) at the Chick-fil-A Bowl! My in-laws gave SuperHubby & I tickets to AU's bowl game for Christmas & we had fun! We rode in on the MARTA & went to Paechtree to have dinner & then rode to the GA Dome & found our great seats. We ran in to some friends & I started joking that I was on the lookout for the margarita bar. Well SuperHubby found our seats & said he had to go to the bathroom & came back a few minutes later with a VERY STRONG margarita. After I finished he went to get something else & came back with a Cape Cod. My AU boys played a great game! I was proud of how they pulled together despite some people not there & others leaving. It was teamwork! We had a fun date night! Thanx Mimi & Poppa! Happy New Year!
