a birthday.....

getting a weather radio to keep himself tuned it to current stats!




whiz boy turned 11 this july! i would say that seems crazy, and it does, but then again it doesn't! my little boy has grown up and at times that makes me sad, but then again....it is our job to raise them and let them go. for now, i'm prepping myself to embrace those preteen years and enjoy the ride it takes us on!



princess got him a dog pillow pet...he did say it is very soft!



whiz boy is full of information, kind of like a walking encyclopedia(i learned to spell that word in 2nd grade in a sing songy kind of way and even while typing it it sounded sing songy!). he has his father's sense of humor although learning when to use it and when not to use it has been a challenge. i have to say, that for all the times i feel like pulling my hair out, he really is a great kid with a spunky spirit and zest for life. i mean he is full core from sunrise to sunset, which in the summer makes for long days for this momma!



for this birthday this year we celebrated a little early with the grandparents with cake and homemade ice cream (that is a great story for some other day!) and then picked up his buddy/cousin on his birthday to see cars 2 (blah!) and eat at wings. we had a great time...and closed off his birthday celebration with a family trip to pick blueberries!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
