The Last Hurrah!

My birthday was on Saturday. I planned on getting a 6 mile run in, relaxing with my boys, volunteering for Bountiful Baskets in the afternoon then coming home and going on a date with my Love. Boy was I wrong!! I ended up waking up super sick from some issues I have been having. John ended up having to take my boys to my sweet Momma's house because I couldn't function. I laid around for the morning. I did go volunteer but wasn't feeling the greatest. I picked up my boys and by then I started getting a headache. John and I did get to go out for dinner and it was so nice being with just him. I love spending time with him!! I ended up coming home with a migraine! Seriously!! Could my birthday be any worse? Well, probably but this was all I could handle!

Yesterday was MUCH better. John went to an endurocross race in the mountains South of here and the boys and I went to church and grocery shopping. We came home and napped and by the time we got up Daddy was home!!!! We played outside for the evening and John made brauts and I made fried green tomatoes! It was the PERFECT way to end a miserable birthday weekend! And it was our last hurrah before John started digging potatoes this morning! 

Look how stinkin cute my boys (all three) are!!! I am in love!!

P.S. We didn't color coordinate our shirts;)

How does that saying go?

How does that saying go? You know the one about girls are made from blah blah blah and boys are made from DIRT! Hehehehe I obviosly don't remember it AT ALL :) But anywho. It rained all day on Wednesday and was the best day ever. Every now and then my soul needs a little drizzle! It was so super cozy in the house, we cuddled a lot and watched way too many movies. It was glorious! That brings us to yesterday.

The ground was WET WET WET from all that rain! You know what wet ground breeds? Yep, worms!! Blake went worm hunting under all of my flower pots and founds some ginormaous ones! Nothing makes a boy happier than telling them, "Yes you can move mommy's flower pots and dig in the mud for worms!"

Can I just say that I LOOOOVE having boys!?!?! They have a kind of fun that is so fun to watch!

Life and I love it!

Blake is doing great with preschool. He has a memory verse that he is supposed to memorize each month. He had Phillipians 4:8 memorized in the first week! "Whatever is worthy of praise, think of these things."  He recites it randomly throughout the day and then we talk about what we are thankful for and what we should praise God for. Which has really got me thinking!

Do you ever feel like you totally don't deserve the super cool card that God has dealt you?

I have some a great husband! He takes great care of me and the boys. He is super supportive of any crazy idea I have. The latest idea is me training for a half marathon. He has been great at helping me make sure I get my runs in! He works so hard to support us financially. Such a blessing to be able to stay home with my boys.

We have such sweet little boys. They are healthy, active, mischeivious, smart and FUN!!! We giggle so much with them everyday. I love them so much!!

We had a great garden this summer and have a freezer stocked full for the winter!

We have had some great adventures this summer. Lots of family time!!

John continues to have a great job! He is so blessed to be able to work for his Uncle Keith!  Couldn't ask for a better boss.

I only have a couple kids this school year that I am babysitting and it is perfect!

Everyday I try to find some reason to whine and complain about life. What is wrong with me? I/We are soooo blessed and I thank God over and over all day long as soon as a whiny though comes to mind!

Make sure you count your blessings daily too!!!
