Bedtime Bible Stories

Last night's bedtime Bible stories for Mills were none other than Jonah and the whale, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo.

After I read to Mills, I try to "discuss" each story with him.  Last night after our fiery furnace story.  I asked Mills why the king threw the three men into the fire.  He just looked at me, and of course I told him that they were thrown in because they worshiped God, instead of the king.  "They didn't burn up though, did they, Mills?" "Noooooo," he said.  Then I asked him who saved them from the fire.  His reply: "Daddy! firetrucks!"  Hmmmmmm  Well at least he knows what his daddy does for a living, right?

You never know what they're going to say next.  This morning, I looked up and Mills had Erik's boots and belt on.  He said, "Bye!  I'm going to work."

FBC Coed II Boyette's Road Trip

We just returned from a road trip to Reelfoot Lake and Boyette's with our Sunday school class.  As usual we stuffed ourselves miserably with catfish, white beans, french fries, and some incredibly awesome onion rings

Before dinner, we made a quick stop to see the eagles and then walked the pier out to the lake. It was so cold!

The fellowship shared tonight was awesome!

Awesome Tip!

I tried THIS and it worked like a charm!  I hate cleaning my shower door.  Who knew that my lemon pledge would work wonders?  So easy!!  Just thought you all might want to try it as well.  Once again, thank you pinterest!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope you have a day full of LOVE and laughter!

This year, thanks to Pinterest, Mills' Valentines for his friend's at Mimi's were super easy and so much fun!  Now, trying to get a two and a half year old to stand still with his fist out and smile at the same time, was a task, but he was a trooper.  Mission accomplished.  Mills, you're the cutest Valentine of all!

The camera is ready.  Mills is ready, and SNAP!  Simple 4 x 6 picture developed in an hour, while mommy shopped for suckers.

Picnik, I am so going to miss you!  Easy as uploading and adding text!

Sweet treats for Mimi's babies!

Airport Birthday Party

Mills was lucky enough to be invited, once again, to an awesome birthday celebration.  His friends, Sam Harris and Faith, will soon be celebrating their 4th birthday.
The party was held at the Covington airport. Their dad is a pilot.  How appropriate!   I have been looking forward to the party since we got the invitation and just knew that Mills would have a great time.  He loves helicopters and airplanes.  So, today, he was able to see an airplane up close.

Sara had a coloring activity for the kids.  Mills is coloring his page and giving a few puzzles a try.

Pizza!
