Growing Up!

We will miss Mrs Courtney!




All the kids go back to school today! Some mommies are sad some are happy! What an emotional day! My sweet cousin and her friend that went on our Cruise started Martin today! So many memories at that school. I just hope they have the best time there, I sure did.

We have a couple years left before those real "school days" and that is fine by me because I will take this precious time with my "baby" boy! Ben says "I'm not a baby" Ben did move up at Children's courtyard. He still only goes 2 times a week and now has a "big boy" class with a fish!!!!!!!! :) He went straight to the teacher so we will see if he cries in this class as well. Sunday school is better I think bc we are sometimes right next door and he can see us teaching the other class.

As you know all kids grow up too fast. I love that I can sit and have an actual conversation with Ben now. He understands me and I can understand him now too. My favorite sayings that he says these days are " momma where's my seat?" and "Daddy scoot over" At night when he says his prayers I now ask him "who do you want to pray for tonight" Usually different people and then he will say "what else" or "ok that's all" " I love you Jesus, AMEN" I have to get it on tape one night.

Well in my eyes he is PERFET LOL but he does have his momments. He throws a fit when we say no to anything he wants.He is very spoiled by family members and I won't name any names!!!!!!!!! :) but that is ok! Ben still likes to blame others on the things he does. He already blammed Payton (his 8 month old cousin) Presley (our beagle) and now his Grandpa. So bad but so funny.


2nd baby is up in the air. I want another one with all my heart but I am still worried about Childcare. My momma has a full time job now and won't be able to watch a new baby! We were VERY lucky with her watching Ben. I know God has a plan and we will wait to see what he has planned for us and our family and hopefully a new luvbug soon.

Here are some pics from the park, Landon's Bday and His old teacher Mrs. Courtney(that we loved and will miss) She wrote him a sweet letter as well.

Family Cruise!

All I can say is WOW! We had the BEST time ever! My daddy took us on a Cruise. My Hubby,Daddy,Bonus Momma,Brother,Sis in law,Sister,Future Bro in law,Cousin and her sweet Friend. We did a Royal Caribbean Cruise for 7 nights and stopped in Jamaica, Grand Caymen, Cozumel, and Haiti. Josh proposed on our last Royal Carbbean Cruise so it was fun to go again. We swam with Sting Rays and snorkled in Caymen, Laid on the beaches in Haiti and Cozumel and my Fave Riding horseback in the ocean in Jamaica!~ It was all so breath taking and relaxing! We drank alot of yummy drinks and ate alot of amazing food and yes gained 5 pounds!!!!!!! Oh well it was all worth it! I missed my Benjamin so much but I was shocked at how good I was. I only cried once on the Haiti beach! :) We were able to call for $1.99 a min at the ports so that was GREAT! I got Ben some shells and those umbrellas they put in your drinks LOL, some miracas (SP) and about 5 shirts! He looked a foot taller when we got home it was very weird! But he had fun getting spoiled!! And so did we! We fell in love with our waiters from India and teared up our last night when we had to say goodbye but we will be seeing them on FB ;)It was such an amazing trip! I will miss being with my family everyday.I have a lump in my throat and a sad gut feeling in my tummy I want to go away. :) I will miss calling my Bubba,Sis, and Daddy each morning to go down for breakfast or dinner. It was a family vacation that will forever be a great memory for all of us and one day I hope to do it again. This family has been through a lot and we really needed this family time and God provided it and we are so Thankful! These are just a few pictures but to my family they tell a Wonderful story and fill our hearts. We are so Grateful and we Thank God for eachother! I am a lucky Girl!!
