a new look

its a little pink and browny but b/c i am not the most techy person in the world, it took me forever to make a new header (in photoshop) and now i am sleepy so this will be it for a while. yes, it took me a long time to figure out how to do JUST THAT. Who knew making words in to a picture could be so hard to figure out? but, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of girliness in your life!!!

some hope for hair in the future

So it is offten joked about that of all people in the world, I, miss bow lovin and all things girls obsessed would birth a daughter with no more hair at the age of one than my right arm. And my arms are not hairy. But lo and behold, a ponytail! Yes I know it is lame, but its there and I think it is pretty darn cute!

Jesus Loves Me...

Anderson has been having a tough time going to Sunday school at church lately. He panics on Sunday mornings when we start getting ready and so this week, we brought Anderson to "big church" with us instead of putting him in Sunday school. He loved it. Maybe b/c we were in the balcony, up high and he thought that was pretty cool, or maybe b/c he knew if he didnt behave he would have to go to Sunday school, but either way, he did a great job. There was a guest couple that did the sermon and at one point the wife said "Jesus" like 5 times in a row and it really grabbed Anderson's attention. So then it got really quiet and Anderson starts singing, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so." I gave him the shhhhh sign and he got kind of embarrassed so he crawled up in my lap but he just kept on singing away quietly to himself. It was precious. I love that he is finally starting to learn the words to his favorite songs and that he likes to sing them all the time.

I thought the blog was due for a video. So here is my little music man. He is sooooo not a fan of the camera so it took a lot of prodding. But here he is in all his Wiggles shirt wearin, boxer brief lovin, glory!

Circus

Lee and I took Anderson to the Circus last night and had a good time. It was a little too long for Anderson (3+ hrs plus it started at 7:30) so we didn't stay for the whole thing but it was a good time and we really enjoyed some one on one with him.

When we got there, he spotted these HUGE balloons and just had to have an orange one.

He was really proud of that balloon...

Until the show started and he saw all of these glowing in the dark.


Getting stickers from the clowns. He actually really like them.


Clowns noses. Anderson would have nothing to do with this.

Need a Good cry?

And I mean that, so don't continue reading this blog unless you are prepared.

This story has stolen my heart. I shared it with a few of you on Facebook b/c I want you to go to facebook and become a fan of Ruffle Butts. If you do this, they will donate $1 to Layla and her family. Please go do this!

This story has grabbed my heart for so many reasons. But one thing is that I am just in awe of this little girl's parents and their amazing faith in our God in heaven. They give him all the glory for her life however short it is and recognize the true gift they have in Layla.

So, read on. If you dare.

Lazy Day

We're having a lazy day. Anderson isn't feeling well and I am still recovering so here we lay at 11am, still in pjs (all of us!), and not really worrying about what comes next!
