They carried him on to the huge truck!

where brayden came from....

When I was putting Brayden to bed, he said "I know where I came from."

I was thinking, Im not ready for this. Calmly I replied " really, where did you come from?"

Brayden replied "you got me from the store, dah." So I asked   "oh, well what store did we get you from?"

Brayden said..."from Lowes, because I am tough, and I bet you got me on sale" 

That was a nice laugh before bed!!

Happy Birthday Heather!

I got to go away with one of my dearest friends, Heather, to celebrate her 40th birthday. Heather is a very important person to me, there is so much I admire about her-how she mothers her boys, loves her friends, cares for her family, how real and honest she is, and most of all her every showing love of Christ, how she is intentionally devoted to this life,(for the next). I feel so blessed to know her and have her in my life.

I also got to meet and spend time with some of her close friends, that was alot of fun and a blessing as well. Im really glad I got the oppurtunity to do that.

Love you Heather. Happy Birthday. I hope you realize today and always, how loved you truly are.

Fun with friends
