Easter Weekend

First of all, I promise I will post pics as soon as my computer is fixed.
SuperDaddy says I can only use it if absolutely necessary & I do not think he would count blog posting unde that category.
We started out Easter weekend (Friday) with Baby Whitty getting a good goosegg & heading to the dr office to check it out. He was fine, but we kept a close watch on him. After all when you fall out of a car, scream for a few minutes & then try to go to sleep you scare this Mommy. (No the car was not moving - he wanted to crawl into it by himself b/c he is 2 & that is what they do & he slipped in the infamous bug shoes.)
We called our favorite Aunt Beth (Aunt "Bef" as BAy used to say), & wished her a Happy 40th Bday. (Sorry the number had to be mentioned)
We went to hear Uncle Marcus preach the Good Friday sermon, most people heard it except for those of us who were quiet enough to sit still - obviously not me, but I heard it was one of his best.
Saturday we visited the Easter Bunny, took one last look at the Disney Store (closing soon) & played outside & stayed outside for a long time. Then Mommy had the 3 little ones in bed be4 7PM while Daddy went to the MAN CAVE at Poppy's house & watched some b'ball.
Sunday was a beautiful Easter day. HUGE church attendance & good Easter baskets with a wonderful Easter lunch & egg hunt at Moppy's house with some cousins.
We went to a Martin family tradition - the Goodhew's Egg Hunt & came oh so close to finding the golden egg.
Mommy & Daddy came home & collapsed from all the fun, fed kiddos cereal & put them to bed.
I love Easter b/c it means new beginnings & simple ways to plug-in the Gospel to everyday life. (The cute clothes aren't bad either.) But I hope it does not become to busy to where we forget the true meaning. We seem to be busier every year. I know that comes with kids getting older, but . . oh, I don't know maybe I just want life to slow down & my kids stay these perfect ages .
Sidenote: this reminds me today WFM5 volunteered to skip his nap b/c rest helps your muscles grow & he said he knew I did not want him to grow up anymoe so he said he wouldn/t rest so he could stay 4 for me forever. Cuteness does not work when trying to get out of a nap today smarty pants.

Pics to come, Jocelyn

Happy New Year 2025!

 Well, the end of 2024 caught us a little off-guard. So I am little late . . .  2024 started off with WFM5 turning 18! CRAZY! In the middle of 2024 Bay turned 21! CRAZY! Whitty is 17 & Baby Lee is in middle school! CRAZY! How can they be this old? How can 2 live in another city? How can the hubby be 50??! We had a lot of fun this year, we traveled & tailgated. We laughed & laughed some more.  We also grew this year inside & out, in times of tears & joy. We lost our sweet friend - Kim Haynes, our Auntie Kim. We had moments of telling her daughter that Mommy went to Heaven, we had hard conversations & times to say goodbye.  We had times of telling EK how wonderful her momma was. 2024 also sent another to AUBURN! Momma may have cried the whole way home. But to see him thrive brought Momma such joy.  Baylor (21) is studying education at AU & is having a blast with her cute friends, in her cute house. She stays busy with schools, concerts ...

I am thankful for Dr. Pepper! I am thankful for Chicken-Moo! PSALM 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, H...

HOW???

How is it time for Summer? How are we buying teacher gifts? How have I registered my baby girl for her senior year of high school? How have we had 5 days of soccer try-outs & we are only halfway through? How are we scheduling senior portraits & ordering senior jerseys? How are 2 of them taller than me with bigger feet? How do they make their own plans & inform me of what they are? How do we have 1.5 drivers at our house? How do they stay up later than me? How is all this happening so fast? HOW?
