It's Your Birthday!

My big boy officially has turned 4 years old.  Seems like yesterday Anthony was born and I was cuddling him in my arms.  He's my little miracle man and is such a blessing, even when he's not behaving. ;)  I'm thankful to be entrusted with such a wonderful gift from God. 

Saying the blessing before they ate cupcakes @ Anthony's preschool.

My Little Artist

So.... a few weeks ago I woke up to get ready for my morning jog when I ran across something rather interesting.  Apparently, my almost 4-year old (at the time) decided to brand my kitchen cabinet with his artwork and writing (in BLUE SHARPIE, mind you!)  Jeremy and I can't figure out when he did this because we swore it wasn't there when we went to bed.  Anthony said he did it before he went to sleep, so we are still baffled.  Anyway, here's his special work of art.  Luckily, most of it came off with a little Softscrub with bleach.  What's left of it will have to be painted over.  Oh, and the sharpies are now on the tallest shelf in the upper cabinets.  I even have to get a chair to reach them!

Random Thoughts

Here are a few snapshots of the kids, either just hanging around the house or going to church. 

 My sweetheart in pigtails.  Too precious!

 The kiddos playing Ants in the Pants and cheesing for the camera.

 Trying to get a picture before church because they looked so cute!

My cuties!

 Meredith made her own drum set.

 Can't get this one to turn sideways, but it's Anthony and his homemade drum set.  He's going to town on it.

 My little football sweetie!

 Another Sunday morning picture.  I love Anthony in his blazer!
