Fun Saturday!

Andy was at the Men's retreat for our church Friday night through Saturday afternoon so Savannah and I had some Mommy time! Our morning started by going to a consignment sale with Jennifer and Hudson. We both found some great things for very little money! My best buy was brand new stride ride shoes that are normally $50 for $15. AWESOME!

Once we got home and took a long nap (Mommy planted flowers and cleaned) we spent about two hours outside playing!

After playing I was trying to figure out what to cook for dinner when outside to change the laundry. When I came back in I couldn't fine Savannah and then finally I found her!

Here is a video of Savannah's new trick...Two weeks ago Addisyn was swinging from a rail at Rudy's and Savannah kept trying...I guess she figured it out. Note this is our kitchen table she is swinging from!

Animal Sounds

A couple of my blogger friends are "heart mommies." This basically means that there child was born with a heart condition(s). Most of the children are doing great but what they have been through it more than any baby or child should ever go through. One of my favorite days is Thursday for blogs because I see the picture above and get to read what they heart! So I thought I would give it a shot!

I heart Savannah's little attitude...even though sometimes it drives me crazy!

I heart the way she crosses her arms when she is mad about something...such my little Priss!

I heart Andy and the way he lets me put my feet in between his calves every night even when they are freezing cold!

I heart Savannah's night time...we clean up with a song, read a couple books, pray, and then tuck her in.

I heart Savannah and Andy's red hair!

I heart my family! I have wonderful people in my life but without my family I would be no where!

I heart the fact that I am so excited for my in laws to come visit next weekend and for EASTER!!

I heart the weekend away that Andy get's to have with the men of the church.

I heart the two sets of blue eyes that kiss me and tell me they love me before I leave in the morning and before we go to sleep at night!

WHAT do you Heart?

Mustard

Yes I realize...she is sitting on the table, she is not wearing pants, her hair is a mess, but hey she is loving the Mustard!
We had just finished eating hotdogs and I guess she wanted to see what Mustard tasted like.

Have a great Tuesday!

I love my cousin!

For the past two year I have taken Savannah and my neice Addisyn to get there pictures taken for my parents. Here are this years! I love them!

Trip to South East Texas!

The first weekend of Spring Break we made our way to the big city of Bridge City, TX! Andy's dad works out of the area and lives there 4 days a week in a 5th wheel trailer. Momma Harvey, Randi, and Daryl all came in and we had a blast! Although Savannah was still a little sick she did awesome! She rode her motorcycle, ran up and down the drive, played golf, pet animals at the petting zoo, played in the trailer, and most of all entertained all of us!

Two reasons I love my life!

We are headed to Port Arthur for some Harvey Time! Will post pictures when we get back! Happy First weekend of Spring Break!

Heart break

You will have to excuse the not so bubbly blog this morning as my heart is breaking for a family I don't even know.
As many of you know I love to stalk and look at others blogs. The number of people that blog is amazing! Most of the time people blog about their families in a way to keep record of all that is happening. My hope is that one day I can make a book for Savannah (and our others that come) to show her life through the eyes of me.
I found many blogs of people that I may not ever meet in real life but I get encouraged daily by their thoughts and words. Many of these people are Christians that are just trying to live God's will for there lives.

A couple of weeks ago I happened to find a blog for a very special little girl in the Houston area. Her name is Layla Grace and she is 2 1/2. At her 18 month check up her parents thought they were dealing with a picky eater but came to find out that she had a tumor wrapped inside her little body. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and not given a very strong outcome. Her parents, her sisters, and her family began to pray and started a blog to share the news and also as an outlet. Well, I am heart broken as I write this because little Layla Grace passed into eternity yesterday.
I can't even begin to imagine what this family is going through. The thought of losing Savannah or any child that I know is causing me to cry as I type. However, I wanted to shine a little bit of light onto this because the parents are praising God even in the hardest times. They have said that it is all for God's glory. Wow! I am not sure I would be able to say that right after my child passed away.

This little girl who I will never meet has caused me to pray uncontrollably. She has reminded me how much I take for granted and how much to be thankful for. I have found myself closer to God the past three weeks because of her. So to the Marsh family and Layla, thank you for sharing your story! Thank you for allowing us into a very private part of your life!

Please keep the Marsh family in your prayers as they are now dealing with funeral planning. Their daughters Jenna and Claire are 9 and 3 and according to mom are having a very hard time with all of this as well.

And please remember to never take time with anyone for granted. It is all for God's Glory and He is in control!

Wordless Wednesday

Happy 18 months Savannah! 1 1/2 years old! I can't believe you were ever this small! We love you!

Family Fun Day!

I love this smile! Andy and I have been so busy lately with school and church that we haven't had a lot of family time other than the hour before we put Savannah to sleep. So, we decided that we were going to have a family day on Saturday. And let me just say WE HAD A BLAST!!!

First of all Savannah slept until 7:45 am...which is huge because normally we are out the door by 6:45. When she woke up she was in such a good mood that she went with Daddy to get the oil changed while I got in the shower and our bags ready for the day!

Our day started with a trip to the park. Savannah enjoyed the slides but most of all she loved the rocks!

After the park we went to a Carters and Old Navy to find her Easter dress. While in the stores every commented on how cute she was and also how well behaved she was!

Then we were off to Chuckie Cheese. It was a little overwhelming at first because there was so many kids but once she figured her surroundings out she was good to go!

After Chuckie Cheese we came home and while Savannah took a nap, Andy told me to go get a pedicure! ( I love that man!) Once Savannah woke up it was fun around the house.

She enjoyed playing with her new sunglasses

The before supper we were able to skype Pa and Ma! We can't wait to see them next weekend!

Savannah was playing peek a boo with them!

Hope you had a great weekend! We are looking forward to Spring Break in 5 days!

Wordless Wednesday!

Happy Hump Day!

500 Wins!!!

Saturday night My Daddy won his 500th career win! For those of you who don't know...my dad has been a coach for the past 34 years. I have had the opportunity to be at his 300th, 400th, and now 500th career win! I was probably at the 100 and 200 but I don't remember!

My dad has always been my hero! My dad is the main reason I went into coaching. His love for the game and his athletes is amazing! Over the years I have seen alot of boys turn into men with the help on my dad's influence.

I love you Dad and am so proud of you! CONGRATS!!!
