HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG A!

just after his proposal...at Yellowstone

ballroom dance contest - 3rd place, not bad

our wedding day - best day ever!

Honey,
I love the way that you think the best of me, even when I've yelled at you at 1:30am for not getting up to feed the baby. I love how you think I'm beautiful, even when I have spit-up from Squirt and leftovers from Moose on my shirt. I love how you play with our boys, even when I know you're dead tired from work. I love so much how you enjoy each moment that God gives you, even when it seems nothing is going our way.

You live each day to its fullest and wish there was more time to spend with us. You make me laugh even when I'm in my darkest moods. You can get Moose to behave when he's defiant towards me, and Squirt to stop crying even after I've held him all day.

Mostly I love how you follow God's Will for our live. I know that we are always taken care of spiritually, financially, and physically with you. There's no way I'd want to do this life with anyone else.

And on top of that, you're beautiful. There is nothing more that I love than to go to bed next to your warm, strong body after whispering I love you in your ears and looking into your beautiful eyes before I get my good-night kiss. I even love your ugly feet. ;)

(I even love those sexy tan lines!)

Thank you...for everything,
Lovely

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

-
Image
Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

We Choose Virtues (review & giveaway!)

-

I almost think I needed this Kids Kit from We Choose Virtues almost as much as my sons. I mean, check out this list: patience, kindness, obedience, diligence, forgiving, attentive, etc. I have such problems with patience and attentive (anyone else get distracted by stuff online?)! So I know that it's important to teach these virtues to my children, too (and learn alongside them). Jesus was patient, forgiving, obedient, diligent, forgiving, attentive, self-controlled, content, etc. We are supposed to imitate Jesus and so I thought this was a good way to help me teach them how to do that. image from the WCV website Like I said, I reviewed the Kids Kit. It came with a Kids Virtue Poster (that tells all of the virtues & sayings that go along with them), one Fan Poster (your choice; a large poster that shows one virtue and saying), Virtues Clues & a clear acrylic card holder (business card sized cards with one virtue per card), "I'm a Virtue Kid" button, The
