Artifact Uprising

I just found this really neat website called Artifact Uprising.  Its basically just a photo printing site but I love the aesthetics of it and its simple layout makes for super easy navigation.  It seems like every site you visit now is so bogged down with ads and extras that you can't find what you need to without accidentally clicking the wrong thing.

I am also excited about the Instagram Soft Cover books they offer and can't wait to print our 2012 life in Instagram :)

Camden's Blessing

Tonight at the supper table Camden said the prayer and it was so sweet that I had to record what she said.  Her prayer went like this "Dear God thank you for the food and the house we live in and sleep in at night we love it so much and I love you God and God bless America my home sweet home the end" 

She has such a sweet heart and I pray she comes to know Jesus at an early age.

This week so far :)

Today we bought a small pool for the kids and they had a blast playing in it all morning.

Monday they played in boxes outside 

and on the iPad after nap

Tuesday was spent at the park and in the backyard

Before they pool we had an impromptu photo shoot outside

This girl loves trees

Tonight was my first attempt at cabbage and sausage and it was a hit!

Found this picture from last weekend Neil was helping Marvin 

Best Mothers Day Ever :)

Today my wonderful husband let me sleep in and then get ready without any little interruptions.  He cooked breakfast for the kids and got them ready for church.  They brought me the sweetest cards and then we headed to Sunday School.  After church we drove to Grenada to have lunch with Mama and Stacy and her kids.  The women and kiddos loaded up and took a quick trip down the road to visit Granny.  I am so glad we went to see her, the kids were precious and she was so happy to see them.

I am so blessed and thankful for my mama, its because of her that I have the values and desire to create the type of home we are raising our children in.  I am also thankful for my mother-in-law and her faith and family values for helping raise up the young man that would one day share the values and dreams with me.

Small town carnival

Two years ago we tried the fair/carnival that comes to greenwood every year on Park Avenue. It didn't go so well Neil screamed the whole time and Camden kept running away from us. The germ aspect freaked Marvin out too :)

Last year we managed to maneuver around it but this year I drove right past it and the kids went absolutely nuts! After begging Marvin that it could be my Mothers Day gift he gave in an agreed we could go.

The kids had a BLAST! Neil was just under the height requirements for most of the rides so Marvin graciously agreed to do them since my ears are still healing. I think Marvin enjoyed the little roller coaster as much as the kids because they rode it twice. Camden said "mama can we go to this park everyday" :):) best money spent in a while!!

I could not have been happier and I even got to experience the Ferris wheel with them and their faces were priceless :) happy Wednesday treat.

Best Daddy Ever!!  Neil was too short to ride a few alone so Marvin graciously offered to ride with them :)  My ears were still off a little and I don't think I would have survived.

                                    I think the roller coaster was Camden and Marvin's favorite ride

1st Ferris Wheel Ride and this was one I was not going to miss out on :)

 This was my favorite picture of the night
