Birthday!

Last Saturday was my birthday and I was so blessed by family and friends. Last year my brother Dustin was the only peron that remembered my birthday, so, everyone made up for it this year. Saturday night Cecil and I went to dinner with 6 of our friends. We laughed a lot, played jokes on one another and ate some really good food. Thanks everyone for making my birthday special. Below is a picture of Cecil and I and then me and Donna.

Labor Day

We spent Labor day with Aden, Mary and Kezia this year. We had brunch at their house and then went out on the boat. Aubrey was so scared that she covered her eyes the entire time. It was pretty funny!

Children's Mueseum of Houston

My friend Mary and I took our girls to the Childrens Museum today. As soon as we walked in I realized that as I child my mom had actually taken me there. I remember having so much fun! Only Aubrey and Kezia were able to go because Aleisha is now in school. I hate that she had to miss out on all the fun. It just doesn't seem fair to me. :(

There was a place to sit in front of a mirror where you could use these crayons to color on your skin. It think Aubrey went a little over board with it. After she finished my sister in law realized that a warning sign says, Do not paint on eyes or lips. Oooppppsss!

This picture is the first time she saw her blue lips.

Crazy Aubrey

Thank God I had my phone right beside me to catch this video. Aleisha and I were laughing so hard!

Summer Fun Has Begun!

Day at the beach.

We were making banana pudding. Aleisha loves

running around in her panties. Look at Aubrey

back there sucking down my coffee! That's sad,

I have to watch my coffee or she will drink the

whole thing. Look at Jada's goofy face. :)

About to slip n' slide.

STARBUCKS!

Aubrey's 2nd Birthday!

Yesterday was Aubrey's 2nd birthday. Us girls went to have lunch and then headed to Jump N' Jungle. The girls had so much fun! Aubrey was so excited that she jumped completely out of the inflated jumper. I caught her upside down by one leg and her shirt right before she hit the ground head first. She thought that was funny! By the time we left both girls had beat red cheeks and Aubrey was gagging because she had gotten to hot. They had a blast.

Then, this afternoon we invited Kezia and her parents over for a small party here at the house. We grilled rosemary turkey burgers and the girls played in the swimming pool. Overall it was a fun birthday weekend. I can't believe my little baby is already two years old!! It fly's by.

When we sang happy birthday to Aubrey she got embarrassed and stuck her face in the cake. That's why she has icing on her four head.

She had the coolest Dora and Diego cake!

She refused to blow out her candle, so Daddy had to do it for her.

Mother's Day

Today was Mother's Day! I was so blessed today, not by the cards, or flower's or gifts but by having family to spend it with. My mom came over and road to church with me this morning. We got there early because the first 200 mother's to arrive, received a $50 gift certificate. Whoo hoo! So, we're eating at Carrabba's on Thursday with our gift cards.




The girls looked beautiful today in their new dresses we bought for Mother's Day. Aleisha told me yesterday, "Momma, I'm going to tell you something tomorrow...but only after we eat lunch." She woke up this morning so excited that Mother's Day was here, she just couldn't wait. She said this morning, " Momma, it's here....Happy Mother's Day!" Kids are so hilarious sometimes.




After church we went to Samari for lunch and had sushi and hibachi. It was really good! During lunch Cecil gave me a card and at the bottom it read, "This card is good for one hot pink laptop." I wish he had ordered it early so I could enjoy it today, oh well. So tomorrow I'm ordering my new laptop, which I'll be using for school.





As I sit here, I am so thankful for all God has given me. He has blessed me with two beautiful girls. Motherhood is HARD work but at the end of each day is so rewarding. I'm so excited to see my girls and who they will become. Pastor prophesied over Cecil and I the other day and he said, God is anointing you to raise powerful children. He said, your children will have a mighty and powerful voice in their generation. People will look back after your children are grown and ask you, how did you raise such amazing children?




As parents our highest desire is to see our children serve God, fulfill their destiny and effect others for the Lord. We just have to pray it through and set the example to follow.
I'm ready for the journey!!
