Father's Day 2010

I love being a daddy to my boys!  Nothing in this world has ever made me feel so complete!  From thesmallest thing to the largest, it is an amazing feeling to know that God has trusted me and Jen to raise 3 of His children.  With that, though, is a huge responsibility that I do not take lightly.  I could not ask for a better life or a better family.  I'm so blessed!  I love you, boys.  Thank you for giving me the giftof fatherhood!

Stone Mountain Lasershow

We took the boys to see the Lasershow at Stone Mtn tonight!  Had a good time, but it seemed like the lasershow hasn't been updated since I was a kid.  We took balls and frisbees and threw them on the lawn, and the boys had a blast!  We stopped and ate at the Varsity on the way down (Yaya's choice), and of course, there was the mandatory light up stuff that we had to buy.  Fun night with the boys!!

Jay's 1st fishing trip

Well, after years of asking me to "take him fishing", I finally gave in today.  Jay's Sunday School class took a fishing trip today to Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, GA.  Roger Stover and Kevin Herndon are Jay's teachers, and I got to come along as well.  We had 7 fourth graders that came on the trip.  Only a couple actually caught some fish, but we all had a good time.  Jay fed the fish a couple of worms and crickets, but he didn't get any fish out of the water....but it was still a fun day.

Riley's Kindergarten Awards

Riley made it through Kindergarten without pulling a single stick.  His teachers, Mrs Van Wie and Mrs McKinnon fell completely in love with him.  As you can see in the video, when Mrs Van Wie calls his name, she picks him up and gives him a great big hug!  Great job on a super kindergarten year, Riley!!

Mothers Day 2010

Yesterday was Mothers Day, and just had to take a few minutes to let yall know some things. 1st thing is that you boys and your Daddy always make me feel extra special on this day.....and I love that~ its not about THINGS its about the little things....Cody n Riley made handprints 4 me at school, and I cherish them so much because I know that in no time your hands wont be that small...infact I know that in no time they will be bigger then mine.  Riley also drew me a picture and wrote everyones names...another thing 2 be cherished...it along with your handprint changes so fast. Cody wrote a list of why he loves me...and I know that list will change as he grows...Jay made a jar at school of the 10 reasons he loves me....and his number one was because I take him to church and teach him about GOD....and I hope that always remains number one on his list. On all your lists... Because all the other stuff I do as your Mom does not matter as much as that ONE thing. As your Dad would say..the rest is all gravy.  While the other things are important...and I have been known to go overboard on some things....NONE are as important as taking you to church and teaching you about GOD......SHOWING you HIM thru me....in every thing I say and do.  I pray for you boys all the time...with you...while you sleep, when you are at school, on the way home after I drop yall off in the mornings, washing clothes...just random times....quiet times, I pray for the present and for your futures. I pray about the biggest things...to the smallest things....Things I have no control over and things I THINK I have control of:)  Being yalls Mom is the only thing in life that I ever wanted to be....it was truly what I was put on earth for.  And even though there are days when I feel that I have failed yall....I still try my hardest. And thats just it...I will ALWAYS try my hardest....give my MOST....my ALL to the 3 of you. God has given me the honor and privelage of being your Mom.  And everyday I thank HIM for that. I love you...my Baughboys~
