Another Tooth----GONE!



Well, Logan lost another tooth this morning! He noticed blood in the sink after brushing his teeth, so I proceeded to inspect his mouth and sure enough, his tooth was barely hanging on. I tried grasping it with a kleenex and my fingers but that didn't work. Logan asked me to please just "knock-it-out" like I did the last one. I really didn't knock-it-out......on purpose anyway! So, I did as he asked and roughly washed his face and out it came! The ToothFairy will be visiting us tonight!

Family & Graduation

Lain & Lauren
Lain is a doll & Lauren is as pretty on the inside as she is on the outside.
My Precious Little Man!


I'm SO proud of my niece, Lauren, for graduating college!



Lauren, Lain, & Anthony Willis



My sister (Monica), nephew (Matt), great-nephew (Lain), niece (Lauren), and my brother-in-law (Mark)
Lauren, Monica, Me, Doris (Monica's Mom)
Logan and I were able to spend time with my family again this weekend and see my beautiful niece graduate college. Logan is completely taken with Lain (until he tries to "steal" his food or "play" his DS) - they are so sweet to watch. I believe I have the sweetest family in the world!

Field Day 2010

I love Hudson PEP's field day! It is a couple of hours of pure fun and games. We are located at a temporary campus (and have been for two years), while our brand new school is being built, and we do not have room for field day there. A family was generous enough to lend their land to us for the day. The weather was perfect! I was blessed to be able to spend the day, with Logan, doing something FUN!
Arriving for Field Day....Each class is dressed in "their" colors!

Yes! He's Cute!


Their team filled their bottle up first! Cute game!


Tug-of-War??? I was just hoping someone didn't pull their arm out of socket.


Ready - Set - Slide!

Blind-Folded Squirt/Hide-&-Go Seek

Mud Limbo!

This game was HARD to understand..for the parents! The children got it right away.

Zoo Day


I'm so blessed to work for a Christian man that believes in family first! I was able to attend Logan's 2nd Grade Field Trip, to the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, yesterday.
It was a fast, furious, and FUN trip!

Mother's Day/Father's Day Photos






If I'm like most people....I do NOT enjoy having pictures taken of myself (AT ALL). I enjoy being BEHIND the camera! However, for Mother's Day (and upcoming Father's Day) I decided to do something for my parents! My mother LOVED the pictures and I assume my dad will as well. Here are a couple of shots from our "photo shoot" by ANA CLARK! (Thank you, Ana!)

Happy Mother's Day!

Logan and I go to my dads everyday to feed animals and train the horse, it is something we look forward to daily. I decided to take Logan's new bike to Pawpaw's house because he lives on a street that you can actually ride on (as opposed to mine where people drive 70 mph). Logan has been begging me to get a bike so I can ride with him, SOOOOOOO today, for Mother's Day, I bought myself the prettiest pink bike ever. My feet barely touch the ground (I'm still learning that 5'2" is pretty short) and I don't know how to operate it (it has gears!???) but it is cute!! Today we went for a ride and wow.....did we ever have fun (and boy, do I hurt!)!!
------------------------------------------------------
This is my 8th year of being a mommy. EIGHTH! I'm so blessed that the Lord chose me to be Logan's mommy; it amazes me at times that I haven't gotten over the fact that He chose ME! Wow! In the past 8 years I have learned so much from Logan. I suppose I will continue to learn more from him than he will ever learn from me. I hope he knows that every decision I make is because of him (& Him) and that even when I fail at being a "good mommy" that it's not because I'm not trying. My greatest desire for Logan is to grow into a happy, healthy, strong, capable CHRISTIAN man. He is on the right track!
Happy Mother's Day to my mom; she gave up so much to make sure I had everything I wanted - when all I really needed was her love - and I know I had it and have it. I'm truly blessed. I am more blessed than any one person deserves!

Cousins


Getting Logan & Lain to "cheese" at the same time proved to be a challenge!












































































We were blessed to spend the weekend with my family in Maud. Logan LOVES his "little cousin Lain" (who is actually his 2nd cousin) and his cousin Matt.
