Fun Day

On Wednesday, we met at the beach to end our Preschool Class at the Library. Kylee has had a good time there; we've been going for 2 years!! But time to move on, as a bunch of these little girls will be starting Kindergarten in the fall! Two of them will be in her same school! 

They loved digging in the sand, and Jaxon was pretty content too!! Don't think to much sand got in the cast! :)

We ate a picnic lunch on the beach, and then headed to the Nature Center. This was our first time to ever go! Yikes! 

Of course, the kids loved it, and pretty much wanted to touch everything. Except I would not let them touch the bull snake they brought out! And, we went into the room with the 16 foot python, and let's just say this mama is hoping we don't have to go to any birthday parties there!! :)

Jason turns 30

Jason turned 30 on Sunday!! Crazy!! I still feel like we are young pups, like somewhere in our early 20's, even though I will be turning the big 3-0 this year too!! 

On Saturday, we had a few of the Holik cousins over. Nothing to big! I wanted to have his favorite dessert which is pie. So, I had each of us make his favorite pie: his mom made a Blackberry Pie, my mom made a Kentucky Derby Pie, and I made an Apple Pie. He tried all of them, and was a happy man! :) 

He was probably such a happy man because of all the rain! 

I truly am thankful for "who" Jason is. I've never met someone who speaks the truth like he does. Whether it be about my hair style or the way food tastes, he is truthful.

The most credit about "who" he is goes to his upbringing by his parents and the godly influence they still have on his life.

Happy 30th Birthday!

Braids

My first attempt at real braids. I need a little more practice... :)

Can I get an AMEN?

It rained this weekend, and rained, and rained! 

This is across from our house!

This is like such a "VISUAL" answer to prayers from our city. Like right before our eyes, the lakes are filling up, the dry ground is soaked. Love how the Lord works among us. 

And this really helps Jason with some farming decisions of "are we even going to spend the money to plant cotton since it's so dry?" Now, the answer is clear, and there is a slimmer of hope you might can actually make a good crop this year, if there is another rain come July/August. So praise the Lord for clear direction! 

Mary and Martha

On Saturday morning, Brianne had a "Mary and Martha" party; they just built a house and finished right before us, so it was fun to see all the pretty things to buy and see her pretty house!!

And the food wasn't to bad either!!  

Big Blue Cast

Jaxon hanging out before the cast! When we went back last Friday, that splint was all ruffled up and dirty! He's a silly boy!

Waiting to get the cast on...., and then waiting to get an xray after the cast was put on! Still happy as can be!

I cried silent tears when they were wrapping the blue cast on. I don't know why. I was fine. I was sitting their taking it all in, and then all of sudden I had tears on my face. I think it became real that my baby boy broke his leg......

Jason drew a little boy on his cast representing Jaxon;he is holding a gun shooting a monster! We went back for a checkup yesterday, and everything is good. Go back next week.

He is really handling like a champ. The first night he had it on, he quietly told me he was tired of it. It broke my heart. 

He does really good during the day; he just scoots around, Kylee carries him on her back, or I come and carry him where he wants to go. He usually doesn't complain about it during the day. He goes where he always went, and has gotten DIRTY! But, I like that sort of! 

He's been waking up every night, nearly. I think it's because he has to go the bathroom, and he needs help getting there. It's hard waking up every night when you haven't done that in a couple years. 

Overall, he's been a trooper!! 

Happy Jax

Happy Jax = Happy Friday
