Kaelyn's 1st Big Trip...

....without Mommy and Daddy! Early this morning Kae headed off to Michigan to stay with Nana and Pop for 2 whole weeks! She was so excited about her new Princess suitcase Nana got her and we got it packed and she pulled it around everywhere. She had no hesitations, she said "Bye Momma, Bye Dad" Dad, she said Dad, not Daddy, wow... she is growing up. I know we will enjoy our alone time, but we are already missing her. I know my mom and dad are thrilled and they will have a blast though! Here is my baby when she left this morning and when she arrived with her suitcase at Nan and Pop's. Pray I can make it these 2 weeks!

 

 

 

 

Women of Joy '09

This past weekend my friend, Lindsey, and I headed to Charleston for Women of Joy. We had such an amazing time! Charles Billingsley led praise and worship and it was so anointed every time... so very powerful to hear around 6,000 women singing praises to God! We were also blessed with anointed speakers... Kirk Cameron, Nancy DeMoss, Angela Thomas, and the hysterically funny Chonda Pierce. They all had touching words from the Lord to share with us. I loved that they were all so real and transparent. Each one was so different, yet all were sharing such relevant truths. Then that wasn't all...we had a concert by Casting Crowns. WOW. They were amazing. Back to real and transparent...that was them to a T. I love listening to their music, but getting to see them and hear them speak was awesome. This was one of the best conferences I have been too. It was so nice to get away for a weekend and be refreshed with the Word of God and such wonderful times of praise and worship.

Mother's Day <3

First of all Happy Mother's Day to both of our Mothers! You are so very special to us and we love and miss you very much! and Happy Birthday to my Mom who celebrated one yesterday...Wish we could've been there. Love you!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! Brian and Kae took me to Olive Garden on Saturday night and when we got home Kaelyn couldn't wait to give me my gift so Brian said she could give it to me early. She brought me a huge bottle of Dream Angels Heavenly perfume (fave!) and box of Godiva chocolates that she of course wanted to share. hehe She came in and said Happy Mother's Day and brought me a sweet card that she drew in for me. :)
The next morning Brian spoiled me with a few more gifts... he's such a sweetie! And then we all headed to church.
We came home for lunch and I got to relax all day while Brian did some cleaning and laundry for me. It was definitely a perfect day!
Below are a few pictures of the things Kaelyn made for me at school. :)

Hope all you Moms had a great day!
