My 3 Sons

Last night, we went to our nephew and godson, Evan's graduation from high school. It's been a while since I have been to a high school graduation and WHOA! the emotions all came back from my graduation ceremony. I could taste the excitement of those "kids" and was emotional when they started walking in 2 by 2 with the band playing in the background. The other day, I was getting to my sewing machine and came across some random pictures. HIGH SCHOOL and freshman at ACU pictures. Look here:
Can you tell I was not used to wearing hats? Oh, and nice white hose and shoes!!! Ick~ Then I found this picture of me and my precious roomie, MDM! No, I wasn't on the ACU Wildcat football team. It was the huge Jonathan Martin dress with boat-neck collar and gigantic shoulder pads of 1990's. Mandy and I were waiting for the line at Luby's to go down at the Mall of Abilene after services at Southern Hills/Social Thrills. Hope you don't mind Mandel! You are adorable in this picture, so hopefully you won't be too mad at me?! Love you!!! Who knew I would meet a best friend for a lifetime right after shaking a man's hand who said I passed high school and could go on to college!

Some more reasons why I'm overloaded:
*don't have a preschooler anymore
*I just know someone at Elementary school will correct Tanner from saying 'prayground' instead of 'playground' (sad day!)
*Tanner saying to me that "God made him to sing because I'm a good singer. I didn't understand that until I was 4 and then I said to myself, 'I should sing too in chapel' so now all I do is sing to God."
*"Mom, you should hold me now while you still can. I'm going to Kindergarten you know?"
*"Mom, today is my last day at Preschool. I'm gonna need an alarm clock so I can start getting up when the big boys get up."
*"You are the best mom in the whole world! Even in China."
Ok, that's enough for now....can't see through the tears. We love our baby Kindergartner! (notice the tears in daddy's eyes)

Today was Tanner's graduation from preschool! He was so proud. Billy was too....so much that I caught him staring out the window, crying. Poor Daddy!
Tomorrow night, our godson, Evan is graduating from high school and last week, our sweet niece graduated from UT. We have stretched out the graduating span in our family.
Today, I got to finally meet a little guy whom I have been waiting to see FOREVER! I'm sure his mommy and daddy think so too. Check out this beautiful baby boy, Owen. It is also his mommy's 30th birthday today! Happy Birthday Anne!! She said she was up all night just staring at him and smelling him. This is her 3rd and she knows how quickly time flys by. How sweet that she wants to soak it all in so she'll never forget. Such a wonderful mommy!! I love Owen's precious blond hair. Big brother and sister have gorgeous white/blond hair too. I can't wait to see and smell him more!
May is so busy! Party after party after awards ceremony after pool party...it never ends. Off to create a Thomas Jefferson costume....nothing like an end-of-the-year project days before school is out! I'm over it..

It's that time again, when my husband has the need for speed. Last year, he raced his jet ski and by the next race, he had broken his arm, so that was when he hung up his helmet. That is until this year. All bones are in one piece and He's back! Which means, we're back at the lake! Which means we travel the Texas highways and byways to campgrounds and lakes all over the Lone Star State. Which equals fun!!!

I have had Billy on no caffeine and cardio and strength workouts regularly since January, but I think he has been skimping on the cardio part. He pooped out about 15 minutes in with 15 more minutes to go. Maybe this month he will listen to me! He got 4Th place Saturday and 5Th on Sunday. But our traveling team member, Paul, got 3rd Saturday and 1st on Sunday. Something tells me Billy will listen to me at the gym a little more next time. Actually, he said he'll do more running and Precor. I love being right, but I love more when he acknowledges it. (he he)

The boys had the best time watching their daddy while I was deep in prayer behind the lens of my camera,watching their daddy. Here are some shots.
