Valentine is in the Air!

What a great Valentine's Day we had! We fed and put the kids to bed early, then we cooked and enjoyed our Valentine's meal. I love eating as a family, but it sure was nice having a quiet dinner at home, just the two of us!

To My Valentine (The Love of My Life): Thanks Honey for a delicious meal! I love you!

Daddy's Girl

What is it about a little girl and her Daddy? Palmer is obsessed with Sutton! If she is talking on "her" phone, she's always talking to "Daddee." If she is sad and crying (or gets in trouble), it's "Dadee." The second she hears that diesel truck pull in the driveway, she makes a bee line to the door, "Dadee!" So cute!

Puppy Puppy

Jackson had his pet parade at school. They have been studying pets, and all the responsibilities of taking care of them. Each child was to bring their very "own" pet from home to enter into the parade. Jackson chose Puppy Puppy (He named him that morning.) to be a part of the parade. Puppy Puppy won an award for the Fuzziest! We were so proud of him!

Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy down in my heart...

The Cherub Choir preforms at church on Sunday! How sweet the sound!

Mother of a Boy...

Well I haven't had a chance until now to blog this...

Tuesday after school, the kids and I came home as usual. I was in the kitchen starting dinner, and Jackson wanted to play out back. Fine, he's done this a million times before. I kept peeking out the kitchen window, just to check. He was dragging and stack firewood as if he was building a log cabin (surprise!). No harm done; I let him continue. A few minutes passed and I decided it was time to check-in again. I looked out the window and no Jackson. I figured he was just out of sight from the window. I walked out on the porch and called his name, "Jackson!" "Yes ma'am!" he responded. As I got to the end of the porch, I hear, "I'm up here!" Looking up, I see Jackson on top (yes on top) of his canvas roofed swing set (at least 10 ft up)! I panicked, "Jackson stay right there do not move!" I ran down the stairs, and shimmied up the "crow's nest" (the highest part of the swing set- where Jackson had climbed up.) Mind you, I'm still in work clothes- skirt, tights, and boots. After rescuing Jackson, I think he saw the fear in my eyes, he looked at me and said, "Mommy, I not do dat aden."

I've always heard there's a special place in heaven for a mom of a boy...

Finally we have pictures!

Here are a few of my favorites over the past few months...

And an all time favorite!

"Jesus in your Heart"

After saying our night prayer together, I was laying in bed with Jackson here is our conversation...

Laying my head on Jackson's chest, I said, "I can hear your heart beating."
He said, "Mommy lay down, I want to hear your heart."
Laying his head on my chest, "Mommy what is that?"
"That is my heart full of love!" I told him.
Silence for a moment...
Jackson: "Full of love from Jesus?"

I just love him!
