Monday Night Football

John was teaching Thomas last night about Monday Night Footabll. The Saints played the Titans-the Titans won. This is Thomas, his saints autographed hat his daddy got for him, his cookie, milk, remote control, and bus...his new favorite toy. The hat doesn't quite fit that well, might have to do with Thomas having a large head? Anyway I thought these pictures were cute!

Suprise John

So we-I mean we because I had so many people helping me pull this off-pulled off John's surprise party Sunday night. I was so worried he was going to find out-because he likes to be in the know, but he had no idea. His dad had made him so made because he kept from being home when he thought he was actually home, the thought never crossed his mind that something was going on. Thanks to everyone who helped. We had a great night and lots of fun celebrating John. He is an awesome husband, terrific father, and great friend to so many. We are very blessed to have him in our lives. We look forward to celebrating many many more birthdays. Thanks to all our friends who helped us celebrate.

Beach Comber

We went to the beach with the Jackson family. How rare that John and Jeremy get 3 whole weeks off a year and one of the 3 just happened to be at the same time...great blessing. The boys had a great time playing together or atleast Thomas had fun stealing Graham's passy and Garrett's blankie.We ate a lot of food, slept, and played on the beach a little. It rained a lot.
John turned the big 30 while we were there, so that was fun to celebrate....every birthday is better with a trip
In other news to celebrate!!

Our small group is growing very fast with the latest blessing-Ally Mattern born this weekend, and 3 more babies on the way.
I went with some of the girls in my tuesday morning bible study to Deeper Still and heard some great, great, great stuff from some awesome women. The Lord spoke so much truth into my heart. I just pray I can remember it all! The girls had way too much fun and made some new friends
Got to help with Beauty for Ashes at my church for single moms-such a blessing to be able to serve and meet some really neat women who have a great faith in God.
Ummm..other than that we are back to life as normal.

A New Blog

For those of you who don't really know me, I love to sew. I started "Kidthreads" my sewing company about 3-4 years ago..I can't really remember. So, I have ventured out and created a blog to share some of the things I make for Thomas and friends. I do have some things for sale, but this is not me starting my own business...just having fun and making making a little cash to support my hobby. I am working on some pumpkin tees for the fall....so check it out http://kidthreads.blogspot.com/

Hi

Hi, my name is Thomas, I like big people's shoes, cell phones, and drool. Drool means more teeth and more teeth means more food:)



A little side note: I have a lot friends who have either had their blessing or are growing their blessing in their belly right now. Everytime I see a new baby, look at my own blessing, or hear of a friend's good news..I am reminded of the miracle of life God gives us. I am so thankful for all of them, thankful God chose us to raise Thomas, and thankful for all He is teaching us about Him through raising Thomas. Thank you Lord for every good and perfect gift comes from YOU!




DISCLAIMER: I love the internet and love to look at fabric especially. So my disclaimer for this week is to BE CAREFUL when you order stuff. I had a nice charge on my debit card this weekend becasue someone felt the need to steal my number and order $1,009 of flowers from 1-800 Flowers. They also felt the need to travel...to Turkey-however the plan tickets did not go through. Thankfully, we have a great bank that is working on getting our money back. So, please just be careful and ask yourself......is this site really, really ,really securet?
