Quote of the Day

The other day, I was sitting on the couch and Amos had his head in my lap. While we were watching TV, he was patting my stomach. Before long, it turned into a poke and I started to feel like the dough boy.

All of a sudden, he looks up at me and says, "Mom, are you going to lay an egg?"

Ouch!

I will admit, I've put on some weight, but gracious sakes!

A few minutes later he came back in the living room and says, "You will always be a pretty princess, mommy."

Ahhhh... he melts my heart! The boy definitely knows how to sweet talk his momma!

My Christmas Present

Yes, you read the title right. For Christmas, Billy, gave me tickets to see Casting Crowns in concert!!!

Let me just say, I was shocked! Billy is the type that always puts a lot of thought into a gift, and this time, he really surprised me! We drove to Kansas City and had two days of fun (and snow)!

Not only did we get to see an amazing concert, we took two of our good friends, David and Catherine with us. It was nice to have "grown up" time! ;-)



This is Caleb, Steven Curtis Chapman's son.

Then we saw, Kutless!!!! One of my all time favorites!


Did I mention we had GREAT seats!



HELLO!! ;-)



And, of course, Casting Crowns!






This is the lead singer, Mark.


Don't you just love this up close picture of my big head!



This next picture makes me laugh.
As we were leaving, we noticed that Kutless was signing autographs, so Catherine and I decided we would not only get an autograph but a picture too! We were both SO excited, can you tell?


SO..... thank you, Billy! I had a great time!

Snowy Days

The last few days have been full of snow days. The kids have missed several days of school, but I don't think they mind!


Seeing their little faces light up is the best part!


My sweet angels!
I think more snow is on the way tonight! Hey, as long as we don't have an ice storm like last year, it's okay with me!
