Awards Sunday

Brooke looks scared.

Going to get her award.

We had awards Sunday at our church. This was Brooke's first time to receive an award. The children start Sunday School at two and half. Brooke got a award for perfect attendance. I did not know if she would go up or not, but she did. You can tell on the one picture that she looks scared. Her dad did not take to good of a picture. I wanted him to take two in case one did not do, but he did not have time. Brooke was walking to fast. LOL

My wonderful Husband.

I think I have the most awesome husband in the world. Kevin was off tonight and I really wanted to rearrange our bedroom. I have had the furniture the same way forever. I also borrowed my Mother -n- law's Rainbow Vacuum to try and clean our room. That is the best vacuum I have ever used. I would love to have one, but they are just to expensive.
Kevin knew I wanted our room rearranged so he takes the bed apart. (It is a King Size) We move the mattress and different things into the living room. I do some major cleaning under our bed with the vacuum cleaner. Kevin turns the bed the way I suggested. After he worked so hard and moved everything, I did not like it. I hated to say anything, but I had to be honest. He rolled his eyes and shook his head and turned it back the way we had it. I love that man so much. I think we spent 2 hours or so cleaning and rearranging the room.
The room looks and smells so good now.
I had to take a moment to brag on my wonderful husband. I told him I was more trouble than I was worth. He did not comment. I appreciate how Kevin is so good to me and the girls. He has so much patience. I wish I was more like him. Kevin treats me like a queen. Some people have said I am spoiled. I don't think so, just truly blessed.
"I love you Kevin. Thanks for all your help tonight. You are the best."

Romans 8:28

Romans 8:28 You know that all things work together for good.......

Seven words seem to say it all. "GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS"

There is no fine print to this promise. There are also no disclaimers. All things and every thing----
every event, every person, all of the past, all of the present, and all of the future-----
falls under God's jurisdiction.

All Things include good things, bad things, small things, and large things. All things includes people.

Knowing God and trusting His promise in Romans 8:28---that He causes all things to work together for good-------gives us hope.

Day Dreaming

Loving the outside.

I love Courtney's hair....even when it gets tangled. :)

I am glad We are Loved.:)

The fire that Kevin used to burn the long pieces down.

We came home Friday night to find our yard had been rolled. I thought this type stuff happened when your children became teenagers and their friends did it. I thought it might be Courtney's friends, but most of them are to young to be out with out an adult. Maybe the adults helped them. Hmmm Makes me wonder.

I can remember when I was a young person I had a few of my guy friends roll my yard. They even rolled my dads dog. Soon after that my dads dog started having seizures. My dad still wonders if those boys did something to his dog. I am married to one of those boys, and he has not confessed to anything yet.

Kevin was not to happy when he saw our yard Friday night. I had to quickly remind him of the times he rolled yards. Kevin wanted the paper down Friday night so that the person who did it could not come by Saturday morning and laugh. LOL
Some of the paper was high in the trees. Kevin burned the paper and let it fall to the ground. I was getting kind of worried that our trees were going to catch fire. We only have a few and I sure did not want them to burn. After 20 minutes or so we had the yard cleaned up. Brooke cried and cried because she thought the paper was ghost.



Kelly and Chris.........you better be glad yall were at church that night or you would be getting blamed for this one.:) Did yall leave church early??LOL teasing.

Covering Bonnie up.

We went to Tate Farms and met Shawn, Bonnie, and their children. We had a really nice time. The kids loved it. The corn was their favorite thing. They loved jumping in it. They buried Bonnie in the corn. Only her head was showing. Autumn and Kyle did not like it. They wanted their mommy uncovered really fast.
More pictures later.

Who is Getting Glasses

Guess Who is getting glasses?

Nope, not Brooke. Courtney is. LOL Brooke wants glasses and she cried and cried because we would not buy her a pair.

Pretty Girls

I had to get this picture off of Nicky's blog. I thought it was so sweet and all the girls look so beautiful. Brooke had a great time at Emma's 4th birthday party.

Brooke's Bike

Brooke has been wanting a bike for awhile now. I told her that she could take some money from her piggy bank and put it toward a bike. I was hoping she would forget and we could buy her a bike for Christmas. She did not forget. She brought me her piggy bank and said, "Mom, I really want that bike."

Great Time

We had a great time camping. I think the kids enjoyed it more than me, but that is the way it is supposed to be. It was nice to relax some. Don't have time to post much because I have a lot to do. I will try to post more pictures tomorrow.

We were able to walk up to several deer and feed them corn and pet them. All the kids thought that was neat.

What Could of Been

We were getting ready to leave for camping. Everybody was rushing around doing last minute things. Kevin went outside to hook our camper up. I was inside doing some things. My mom and dad were also here. Mom said,"Where is Brooke?"
I said "In the playroom I think." Mom started yelling for Brooke and could not find her. I told mom that Brooke might of went outside with her daddy.
Mom quickly goes outside. Brooke had went outside and not told anybody. (She never does that) Kevin was getting in the Durango and fixing to back up when he looked in the mirror and saw Brooke and heard her saying, "Daddy, Daddy."
It gave us all a scare. That is how fast something can happen. Everybody thought Brooke was somewhere, but she wasn't. If Kevin had not looked in his mirror he would of ran right over her because he had no idea that Brooke was outside. No matter how careful we are, our children can get in dangerous situations before we know it. I have to say thanks to God for protecting Brooke and allowing Kevin to see her in time.
I held her, hugged her and talked to her. I told her to never go outside without telling us. All this brought tears to my eyes as I thought about what could of happened. I tried to explain to Brooke and she got all teary eyed on me. I was using a very gentle voice with her, but I think she thought she was in trouble.
As I am typing this Brooke just came up and said, "Mommy, Can I go outside?" :) Maybe she will ask from now on. Well I really am going this time. Talk to you all when we get home. I hope all of you have a great week.
Blessing to you all,
Denna
(Sorry I don't have the pretty signature many of you have, but I can't figure it out. I tried it, but it never would show up.)
Brooke just came and gave me a kiss and said," I love you. You are the best littlest mommy."
I am glad she thinks so, but I think she needs to leave the littlest out. LOL

A extra Girl

We have a extra girl at our house this week. Erica is staying with us for several days while her parents are on their anniversary. Erica and Courtney have had a blast. Erica has made me laugh so much. We gave her the name Miss Giggle Box. I tried to time her, and she can't go 5 minutes without laughing. She laughs all the time. I guess it is better to laugh than be sad all the time. We have enjoyed her being here.
