Weekend Roundup

We had a fun filled weekend. Saturday we had friend's over for a Bible Study and everyone brought a dessert item (which is personally my favorite food group). There were five adults and five children....which made it very LOUD at times but all in all the adults had a great discussion and the kiddos had lots of fun running down their sugar high.

Sunday after church we ran home so Cash could catch a quick nap before Jasmine's AWANA's awards ceremony. **For those not familiar w/ the program--AWANA is a group that meets once a week and the children memorize Bible verses and receive patches for their vest**. This was Jasmine's second year in AWANA and she did great (we had a major meltdown last year and she ended up being carried across the stage). She was very excited her cousin Karoline came to watch and was quick to search her out and and blow kisses once she got on stage. After the awards ceremony there was a small reception w/ cookies and juice and then we were off to Chuck E. Cheese's. Here are some pictures.

Better Than Therapy

Yesterday was a good day. After getting home from work I jumped on the riding mower and rode it until it was out of gas. This is one of my new favorite things (& Joe is very happy about that!). In the past I haven't participated much in the upkeep of the yard, mostly because it was too much like work. Now I am looking at it more as a means for exercise. I love love love riding on the mower. It gives me an opportunity to reflect on what is going on in my life and to give thanks to the Lord for all I have and all my answered prayers. Wow..what a wonderful Lord we serve.

Cash and Jasmine also love to sit on my lap while I am driving. Although it is great now, I'm not looking forward to it come August and it is 150 degrees outside. Guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Maybe we can find a sidecar like they have for motorcycles. That'd be awesome!!

Kindergarten Registration

Well last night we went to take a tour of where Jasmine will be going to Kindergarten. She ran into a few of her Pre-K friends and her current teacher's husband teaches there. So it is possible for her to have a teacher w/ the same name for Pre-K & K. Fun!

When we got home we watched Night at the Museum w/ Ben Stiller and Jasmine really liked it. She informed me that when she gets home from school today she wants to watch it again.

Yesterday the kids received a package in the mail from Aunt Linda. She is so thoughtful and is always sending fun stuff for the kids. Yesterday Jasmine got a Shirley Temple movie and a My Little Pony which she fell in love with. Cash got a Wiggles movie. When we pulled it out of the box he grabbed it and took off running to pop the movie it yelling 'mommy, it's the giggles' the whole way.

I Love Dancing With the Stars...

I love this show!! And I love that Cash will sit and watch it with me. Last night Joe had a couple friends over for a 'jam' session so I was watching in our bedroom (which is on the opposite end of the house from the noisy boys). I was laying in our bed and Cash was on his belly with his chin propped on his hands...so cute. And sometimes he is just overcome and has to get up and do a little dance of his own.

Is Anybody Still Visiting?

Well, it has been a LONG time since I've posted and just wondering if anyone is still checking in for updates???

This weekend we went to visit Grandpa Kotter and the kids had so much fun playing with their cousins Ethan and Emma. It is about a two hour drive and they were both dead to the world as soon as we got on the road.

Sunday morning Cash and I went to wake Jasmine up for church and she said in a sleepy voice. 'Ya'll are talking too much, I want to sleep more'. Funny, I seem to remember saying something similar to Joe just about a week ago. It takes me a little while to actually WAKE UP in the morning and until then I just want peace and quiet. Well Joe had been up for a while and had coffee and was feeling good and I remember asking him to stop talking so much. Guess the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

Cash is a non-stop chatterbox these days, unfortunately not everyone can understand him. I hear several times a day, 'What did he say?' Fortunately I speak ~Cash~ pretty fluently. Most people are impressed by how much he talks, but I can't help but wonder if I should be concerned or not that he is hard to understand. --Sharon if you are reading this, can you please send me the information for the people ya'll used w/ Camden--.

Try to post again soon.
