The Weekend....

I had a pretty fabulous weekend. And this morning I was thinking that I am so glad I married this man......

He is always making me laugh, he takes care of me when I don't feel good, and he works really hard so I can be a stay at home mom.
My mom came and got Austin on Friday around noon for the weekend. (thanks so much mom and dad for keeping him!) So Friday night Jacob and I enjoyed time with good friends. The boys played video games while Jennifer and I reverted back to our childhood days of laying in bed talking and watching a (terrible) movie! :) Jennifer and I have been friends since we were little and it doesn't matter if Jen and I talk 5 times on the phone each day we never run out of things to talk about.
Then Saturday Jacob and I slept in. It was sooo nice. We were laying in bed Saturday morning and I said donuts sound good. So Jacob took me to get donuts We ate donuts then I crawled back in bed and watched a movie. Perfect Saturday!
Sunday we went to early service then came home and took a nap together. Then after church last night we went out to eat with great friends. I enjoyed visiting with Christa, Tara, and Amanda. Then after Jacob and I got home last night we played some yahtzee (which I won). While we were playing it started storming so we went out and set in our garage with the door opened. We sat there and watched it rain and lighting and just talked. It was perfect.
So like I said I had a fabulous weekend. I got to spend time with my wonderful hubby and great friends. Now it is time for my little man to go home! I miss that sweet little toot!!!

My Baby is Growing Up!

I can't believe ACE is 2 years old today! WOW time flies. We had such a good day together yesterday. I drug him all over town from 11:15 till 2:30 and part of that was taking him to the doctor for his well baby visit. The only time he fussed or complained was while I was holding him down at the Dr. office for her to check his ears. He was so pleasant and sweet yesterday! Then last night his daddy and him hung out while I went to a girls activity with some of my favorite ladies from church (I just love those girls!!!). When I got home his daddy had him in bed and almost asleep but not quite. So I went in and laid down by him and he was so excited to see me. He kept patting me, touching my face, smiling, and saying mommy over and over. I am so glad that I get to stay home with him. He melts my heart and makes me smile on a daily basis. I will admit that there are days I want to rip my hair out but it is so worth it! And to my wonderful hubby....Thank you for working so hard so I get to stay home! So....HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACE! God has blessed our lives with your presence! You keep us on our toes and full of life!

Catching up

I feel like I have so much catching up to do! We had an amazing week at Pettijohn and we have been home for over a week now. Camp is always such an uplifting time. We have so many wonderful friends that we often only see once a year. I really would like to change that. Ace went to camp with us but he only stayed till Wednesday. My mom and grandparents came and got him and as much fun as him and I both had while he was there, I was ready for him to head to my mom's house. His Grandmommy on the other hand was not so thrilled for him to leave. They had such a good time together at camp and he even mananged to sneak his way into her bed for a couple of nights. And for those of you who don't know, the beds we have at pettijohn are smaller than a twin! Camp is a great time but it is good to be home. Jacob and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful congregation here at home that I feel like I miss out on so much while we are gone. The girls in our class at church are amazing christian women. I enjoy seeing them every Sunday and Wednesday night and then all the extra times I get to see them outside of church too! They are always there no matter what you may need.
I guess when I reflect on the people in my life I feel overwhelmingly blessed. I an amazing family and that does include Jacob's side, a wonderful church family, and my pettijohn family! God is so good!

time for a post

I feel like it's been a while since I posted. Not that I have anything really important to say. We have been spending time with family and I have really enjoyed that time. Jacob's parents kept Ace over Memorial Day weekend and Jacob and I cleaned out the garage....ROMANTIC...NOT!!! We did join them for the end of the weekend and had a good time as always.
ACE and I have also been getting to spend a lot of time with my parents and grandparents. He loves getting to play in my grandparents backyard and they enjoy getting to watch him. He also enjoys jumping on and off of my dad. Someday he will realize that poppy is not a trampoline. He also thinks it is really funny to steal Poppy's chair. As soon as he runs in the door at my parents house he starts saying Poppy's chair, Poppy's chair. And of course my dad likes to act like he is really mad that he stole his chair, which Ace thinks is hilarious!

This is totally random but it is for Uncle Bubba. I thought of you today. I was watching Wheel of Fortune (which I never watch which tells you how random this is. Pat said something about now here's a message from Charlie you know the announcer guy that has this good voice and you never see him but he tells you about the prizes. Well, the first thought that came to my head was this guy has a good voice but Uncle Bubba is WAY BETTER! So in other words when Pat gets a hold of one of your CD's or some of your work he will be firing Charlie and hiring YOU! And I'm blogging about this so everyone knows that I SAID SO and that I knew you before you before you were famous on Wheel of Fortune! :)

Anyways...Back to the beginning of this post. I really have nothing too important. Life around here has been pretty good. No complaints.

I hope that life is treating you all well!
